Ross Merriam @rosshunneds.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Another disappointing 4-3. Got punished for a judgment call in the mirror in my first loss. Second loss was a mull to 5 G3 which when combined with the tech and lag issues I was dealing with, led to me tilting off for the last round. Fleshraker continued to put in good work. 000

Ross Merriam @rosshunneds.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Crunched some numbers and came up with 4 Lab/6 Imprints as the best split so I'm trying that out with more Talismans to compensate for the loss of green sources. Live in 5 at twitch.tv/ross_merriam 082
Ross Merriam @rosshunneds.bsky.social · 29/09/20268-2 on the day, losing 2 trophy matches. Fleshraker was impressive across several matchups, but still a liability against Prowess and not particularly important in the mirror. 021

Ross Merriam @rosshunneds.bsky.social · 27/09/20264-3 into 33rd, unlucky with distribution of game losses and tiebreakers. TKS was ok, but probably worse than 3rd Devourer. Trophied the side-league w/Elves. SB was utterly useless but maybe that was just my matchups. Beat Jeskai Ephem, Bogles, Izzet Terror, and 2 mirrors. 000

Ross Merriam @rosshunneds.bsky.social · 24/09/20265-2, 16th. Lost one match to more internet issues but I think I got those fixed. Biggest thing I've learned is that the Lab builds are just much better in to Prowess and flipping that matchup is huge. 031

Ross Merriam @rosshunneds.bsky.social · 18/09/2026More consistency issues today with lots of non-functional draws, mostly due to lack of green mana. Then the Lab draws compound the mulligans. Not sure how so many players get away without at least playing a Talisman, which continues to be good for me. 200

Ross Merriam @rosshunneds.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Easy 5-0, beating Living End, 2x Prowess, Amulet, and Hollow One. Happier w/ my sideboard and mulligan plans, which are different than non-Lab lists. Devourer impressed because the card selection mitigates Lab's inconsistency. Changing the Emmy split for tomorrow's challenge. 031

Ross Merriam @rosshunneds.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Rallied from a R1 loss to Top 8. Played against all midrange decks and mirrors where the Labs definitely helped. Lack of green mana hurt too often for my liking. Seems like these builds are more powerful but less consistent, and I want to see how much I can help the consistency. 051

Ross Merriam @rosshunneds.bsky.social · 21/08/20267-3 on the day, losing another trophy match. This time it was me playing poorly though.
