Definitely need to post here more and I plan on it now.
Judging my first RCQ of the season Saturday over at R&B Games in Statesville. It'll be their first RCQ since the new OP system has been in place.
It'll be a welcome change from grinding for once, although I still would like to qualify at some point.
Here's the list I ran yesterday for my Top 4 (Undefeated in Swiss) #BantHumans list. Wouldn't change much if anything. Dennick main is a flex spot and a meta call.
Plaintext list in alt text.
Lost in Semis to the mirror match. Yet another top 4. I feel like I'm still running pretty hot (aside from Standard), so maybe I'll get that invite eventually.
1st seed after 5 rounds.
QF v UW Control 🤩🤩
Foot on the gas let's go.
Round 4 v Mono W Humans - 🤩🤩
Win die rolls, get big, remove/disrupt.
💪💪
Round 3 vs Bant Spirits - 🤩💀🤩
Won the die roll. Do that and it's simple as that.
Rnd 2 versus Mono G - 🤩🤩
Won die roll, disrupted with Reflector Mage both games and just ran over my opponent both games.
Thalia tax game 1 and Spellbinder game 2 helped out a lot.
Pressure, pressure, pressure.
That's the name of the game.
27 players in today's #PioneerRCQ
Decided on #BantHumans due to previous success with the deck.
Round 1 vs Greasefang - 🤩💀🤩
On draw, mull to 5 to their mull to 6. Got there with beats and double CoCo.
Game 2 got ran over by an Angelbus turn 3.
Game 3 both kept 7s, interactive game. Top decked a good CoCo for Adeline + Thalia to tip scales and take the game.
Will continue to update throughout the day.
However, as an additional note, the criticisms about non-US regions being underserved are justified.
But for my hot take on the whole situation...
They should just get rid of #judgefoils entirely.
