Not as exciting as the wild B&R Accouncement but after scrubbing out of the main event I bounced back and topped the Sunday Standard Super RCQ. Failed the main mission this weekend but 11-0-3 on Friday and Sunday led to some solid consolation prizes. I guess we call is a push 🤷

6-0-2 to split top 4 in today's SCG Cincy Modern 1k w/ Izzet Prowess ft. Academic Dispute. The Lesson wishboard is a ton of fun and there's a 0% chance I beat Domain Zoo 3x without. Leyline was put into play literally 10 times against me today 🤣🤣 Here's hoping I can take this momentum into the RC!

Has anyone done the math on the probability of turn 3 / turn 4 craterhoof? I feel like that's surely a number that's been passed around the net by now - @fireshoes.bsky.social have you seen anything on the topic?

Stanley2099 @stanley2099.bsky.social · 10/02/2026

I've settled on Rakdos Leyline for RC Milk! Quite excited about the deck's ability to churn out quick kills and grindy wins even when we're not doing the broken thing with Leyline in play. Published my SB Guide on Metafy: mfy.gg/guides/view/...

My first Modern trophy since 2023 is a 61 card special 🤣 Jokes aside, I love this deck so much and would definitely encourage Prowess and Cutter fans to try it! Only difference from my list at the Modern Super in ATL is adding that 61st card (3rd maindeck Boomerang). I love every card in the 76 ❤️‍🔥

Gosh I wish Pioneer was a relevant format. Wanted to be able to cast Academic Dispute while jamming Arena: X-2 from Plat to Mythic with Nem + Rage finishing the journey. I miss casting my best bear and my best girl in Standard 🥹

Well... a bittersweet trophy finishing the last league I started before the Spotlight. Beat Jeskai Ctrl, Izzet Lessons, and Mono G Landfall today (no clue what I beat pre-Spotlight). Love to see the adventure off Bonecrusher Mouse securing the final points of damage 💪🐭

Just dropped a free post on Metafy with my thoughts after SCG Atlanta. It was an up and down and up again weekend that helped me finally finish my equation that answers the equation "is it worth it for me to travel to the next RC?" metafy.gg/posts/ZJOb5N... @fireshoes.bsky.social

After a really good Friday I failed to make day 2 of the main event on Saturday. Luckily that meant I could play my fav format on Sunday - split the finals of the Modern Super RCQ today 🙂 Academic Dispute is one helluva magic card: moxfield.com/decks/7dzzMf... @fireshoes.bsky.social

Still scraping together the last few cards in paper so I don't have a nice #deckpic yet but very happy with where I've landed for Spotlight Atlanta. The mouse package still has a lot of punch, the bunnies help out-scale red removal, and white has excellent interaction. moxfield.com/decks/bx9NxJ...

Clean 5-0 10-0 with my version of Prowess. Abundant Harvest is cracked, and Questing Druid is just the best 2 mana draw spell for the strategy. Pending carries a lot against all forms of random hate crap, and Phalge sweeps the mirrors. Really liking the list. @fireshoes.bsky.social

Loving @stanley2099.bsky.social’s tarkir dragonstorm izzet prowess list. Cori-steel cutter and stormchaser’s talent give the deck some more options in the long game, but it’s still capable of lightning fast prowess starts!

Stanley2099 @stanley2099.bsky.social · 03/04/2025

I can't express enough how excited I am for Tarkir - getting new toys for my two fav archetypes was not on my bingo card and my word these new toys are AWESOME (both in powerlevel and in creative/interesting design). Look out for Rakdos Leyline and Izzet Prowess, these decks are dangerous 🔥🔥

Stanley2099 @stanley2099.bsky.social · 21/03/2025

Sorry, I'm bad at social media so this post is coming in a little late, but this is the first Tarkir spoiler to hit me in the feels so far. Card is going to be really fun to try and break in Rakdos Leyline. Kind of like a color-shifted Turn Inside Out!
