Members on my Channel just got a surprise Dimir Midrange write up from my RCQ experience this past month!
To learn what I think about the deck, how I played it, and where I would take it - consider dropping a Join to my Channel (or ask someone nicely)

On a more positive note, only 4 of the lists in the Top 10 WIN% archetypes failed to make Day 2 at @scgcon.bsky.social #SCGBaltimore
Hopefully that makes the Top 10 section a little more exciting than it was in Houston, where 7 of the lists did not Day 2 but had a 55.6% WIN% 😅
