I decided not to play my trustworthy forge, because I believed that the field would be too prepared after EW !
I skipped yesterday super qualifier and spent most of my day hiking, I felt fresh and sharp for todays tournament 😎

Top 8 in the saturday morning challenge with an old favorite 🫡🌩️
The metagame is shifting fast after the first US RC. Storm has a pretty solid matchup spread against the top decks but really suffers from being inconsistent
The bauble tech is serviceable, although I'm not sure about the numbers!

7-2 in the legacy showcase challenge with a vintage deck !
I'm focused on modern these days, so I just netdecked a very stock list.
This archetype has a very strong proactive gameplan and is really not easy to attack (I beat every null rods today).
Losses were to Doomsday and Mississipi River!

I split the finals of the last important event of the season to lock 1st place 🫡
The tournament structure was Duel Commander + EoE draft:
- In DC: Thrasios control, a new build created by Jules Lestienne
- In draft: UW flyers with a double spell subtheme
My prize was a revised Underground Sea 🤑

Vintage token acquired thanks to the power of clown car 🤡🚗
I only get to play the format a few times a year, but it's always fun!
The shell felt promising, but the list is still very rough (especially the SB) and needs tuning. I liked the Nettlecyst "aggro" pivot

One of my mtg-related ggoal for 2025 was to play more paper events and try to become a better "paper player". I enjoyed the process and I think I did a good job!

This weekend, I qualified for Turin playing a slightly innovative build of Belcher that I've been working on with Nick Cosgrove 🫡
With the metagame being so combo-centric, Flare is a bit worse while FoN gets better. Tamiyo and Stock Up gives you enough card advantage to support 7 pitch spells!

If your goal is to maximize winrate, just play Vivi. But this is a good contender if your goal is to maximize fun 🫡
Kudos to Wang Haotian for designing this list. It definitely took me a few games to understand the deckbuilding decisions. It's better than the stock build

Modern challenge top 4 with my current obsession 🦖
Undefeated in swiss, lost to Belcher in the semis!
I've been trying a lot of different sideboard config to beat blue decks (Murktide, Rakshasa's Bargain, stock up). W splash for Teferi felt like a solid option today 🫡

Challenge top 8 with Neobubu 🦖
The play patterns of this deck are obnoxious, but it's in a good spot right now (solid against both Phelia and NRJ).
The mandrill tech was nice, it lets you play low-resource games and mulligan smoother 🐒

The shell felt powerful, but the sideboard was mediocre. This deck is very good at exploiting the lack of GY hate, altough I'm still not sure if it's better than Goryo!

Back-to-back challenge top 8 with Prowess (Izzet and Grixis) 🔪
The Grixis list felt slightly better overall. The main issue with the archetype is that it tends to get less functional after sideboarding. TS is a lot better than spell pierce in that regard !

9th in today's challenge with Simic "bad cards" !
Despite being slightly clunky, this deck is doing something quite powerful. I was skeptical at first, but I've been doing surprisingly well (68% WR across 5 challenges). It's also very fun, so I'd definitely recommend it 👁️!
