Playing in the NRG Series Team Trios Showdown in Indianapolis with a team comprised of three of the most powerful forces in competitive Magic: Channel Fireball Ultimate Guard, Handshake Ultimate Guard, and a twink Theo Jung Cole Cunningham

Looking for an Ancient Stirrings and a Cursed Totem for tomorrow's Modern event at NRG Indianapolis! 🙏

🚨The Karnies are finally back! 🚨 We have a special guest in Arne Huschenbeth for this episode fresh of his ProTour Top8 to talk with us about Standard! Listen on Youtube and every podcast platform!

Thanks to Cole Cunningham for capturing this moment of great spiritual significance as I honor my ancestors before approaching the sacred grounds of Harvard. 👲

Thanks to Alexander Hayne for being a paragon of Canadian hospitality this weekend! Today I learned, much to my surprise, that Montreal has significantly better bagels than New York. On a flight to Boston now, anything I really have to see or try?

I bombed out of the Canadian RC, but I had a great time especially meeting so many Canadians (there are lots of them here). A wonderful thing: this is the event where by far the most people told me they like me more than Andrea Mengucci and that's a very special metric to me. Merci!

I'm playing in the Canadian Regional Championship today hosted by Face to Face Games and armed with these lucky Lilianas signed by Reid Duke! Canada and Canadian players have been lovely! 🍁

We put effort into this to make it both a resource for people wanting to qualify for the Pro Tour via the RCs with Phoenix but also to show how we look at decks in general. I sincerely recommend it to anyone with Pro Tour aspirations!

0-4 to 4-4 blindly following Javier Domínguez "Thalai" and Anthony Lee in constructed never fails #PTOTJ #03draft #4weddingannoucement

Waiting at the airport, soon to begin a nice trip on the other side of the world! I'll be at PT Thunder Junction in Seattle, then the RC in Montreal, then the NRG event in Indianapolis (where I'm teaming up with Cole Cunningham and Theo Jung). Say hello if you see me!

Episode 76 of the Karnies features me, Javier Domínguez "Thalai", and our teammate Isaac Bullwinkle talking about how to improve as a Magic player!

We've thought a lot about this topic before and Isaac was the perfect fit for it - we think we gave good advice!

Hmm, it's an interesting hypothetical - drawing on my past experience of being trapped in a time loop losing to Reid Duke, I'd say that I would get lucky enough to escape by the third match

If you are playing some Outlaws of Thunder Junction Limited this prerelease weekend, Team Handshake's draft expert Karl Sarap has put together a great overview of the commons & uncommons in the set and it's sure to be a great help to you!

Starting to pack to head off in just under a week to the Handshake testing house leading up to PT Seattle and found this souvenir from Chicago. One of the best things of MagicCon and the PT is to meet your favorite players, including World Champions such as Nathan Steuer 🙂

Episode 75 of the Karnies has Andrea Mengucci and I looking over The Big Score and working a little on a Modern deck with Thunder Junction cards for Mengu to show off in his tournament this weekend!

We got some great feedback following our mulliganing episode asking for more like it, so we invited another player who truly loves thinking about Magic to talk about things! Is there a thing you might like us to talk about?

Paulo has always been arguably the best Magic writer (I hope he will forgive me for saying 'arguably') and it was fantastic to get to read his work again - I highly recommend this article and think it will be very directly helpful to all levels of competitive players!

Episode 74 of the Karnies has Javier Domínguez "Thalai" Andrea Mengucci and I looking at some OTJ spoilers in Modern & Pioneer!

I was very specific on where each of us should be edited into the art for the video thumbnail. Many will agree it's an accurate depiction.

Episode 73 of the Karnies is a feature with me and Javier Domínguez "Thalai" having a casual chat about mulliganing!

We've been hoping to do a theory topic like this for a while and are pleased with how this turned out. We hope you enjoy and learn from it!

I'll record a podcast episode with Javier Domínguez "Thalai" about a very personal topic (mulliganing - cheers to Isaac Bullwinkle for the suggestion)

Twitter, give us some interesting keep/mulligan decisions and we'll discuss any that illustrate some useful points!
