6/28/21 Modern 0-3 —June 29, 2021

Round 1: Amulet Titan 0-2 This was the best round, actually. Game 1 I whiffed on a Glimpse with 8 permanents but had I not I would have taken a game. Buildup-heavy Titan games are good for this deck, the only issue with this build is whether to name Slayers' Stronghold or Hanweir Battlements  ^Meld on Pithing Needle. Game 2 my opponent got Pact of Negation before I could double up combo pieces. Titan felt like a pretty winnable matchup, honestly, they don't interact and this deck can potentially go off just as fast.

Round 2: Grixis Death's Shadow 0-2 I'm talking actual old-school Thought Scour into Gurmag Angler. Stubborn Denial was not great to see, and that with Temur Battle Rage was able to take me out before I could get the combo off. Needing creatures in play being vulnerable to Dismember did not help me either.

Round 3: UW Vial-Blade 0-2 Opponent was on an Aether Vial tempo version of Stoneblade. Spell Queller was definitely bad to see, and my stuff in play being vulnerable to Skyclave Apparition wasn't great either. I'm going to blame it on a slight headache that I brought in Bonecrusher Giant instead of Foundation Breaker.

Round 4: Bye Hey I can beat a literal goldfish.

Thoughts after the night are if I should take my Urza's Saga out and make room for Blood Moon/Magus of the Moon in the main for some free match equity. Also potentially moving off of Lonis, Cryptozoologist and maybe Academy Manufactor to run some number of Chancellor of the Forge and Chatterfang, Squirrel General so if I fizzle on a loop in theory I gain a lot of 1/1 tokens.

The other consideration is Narset, Parter of Veils being able to find both halves of the combo.
