The Standard RCQ season is beginning soon and I’ll be turning my attention to Izzet piles.
Before I get into Standard mode I wanted to share a Modern Frogtide sideboard guide update since it has been treating me so well. The Modern Regional Championships take place over the next couple months so there are plenty of avenues to play Dimir Murktide competitively.
The Modern RCQ season is ongoing and I’ve had some success so far with my favorite deck, Dimir Frogtide. Modern is currently very fun and you can likely achieve some level of success playing what you enjoy so this is a safe time to Frog if that’s what you’re into.
The Modern RCQ season is in full swing so I wanted to revive my Paper Tips series. As I watch paper Magic coverage I see small edges given away that could turn a mediocre day into a Regional Championship invite. I’ve been playing primarily paper Magic tournaments since 2001 and I’ve picked up plenty of tricks along the way. Today I’m going to discuss Modern-specific and tournament tips.
After splitting the finals of an RCQ with Golgari Midrange I tested my mettle at RIW’s qualifier last weekend. I’m pleased to report I piloted Golgari to an undefeated record into a top 4 split.
We’re just weeks away from the B&R update on December 16 where The One Ring is likely to be removed from Modern.
The Standard RCQ season is in full swing and the metagame is looking healthy with a handful of decks realistically able to take down any tournament. The barrier to entry for paper Standard was a concern for me at the start of the season, but most of the valuable cards have multi-format utility. Being able to test each deck on Arena has also been a boon. Today I’m going to share my deck choice for RIW’s upcoming RCQ on March 9: Azorius Control.
For those planning to attend this weekend’s RIW Pauper 1K on November 12th, I wanted to pass on some wisdom I learned from past Pauper 1Ks that I’ve attended at RIW in the past. First, I’ll cover what to expect in a general magic tournament sense, and then we’ll dive into what to accept about some Magic strategy topics to think about heading into Saturday. Let’s get started!
