Mono Red Gift Goblins in Baltimore

Gifts is still good in standard... 11th place finish at the SCG Baltimore Standard Classic, May 7, 2018

After a hot recommendation from Ben Friedman, I decided to give Mono-Red Gift Goblins a try. On paper, this deck looks like a clunky pile of red cards, haphazardly thrown together but when played, it turns into a nasty red deck with the possibility to win any match-up.

GP Seattle Tournament Report (Standard)

35th place tournament report with U/B Midrange, April 10, 2018

I came into GP Seattle extremely unprepared. The last standard tournament I went to was pre "Attune with Aether" ban. I tested Ramp and R/G monsters unsuccessfully and last minute decided to play U/B Midrange with no previous experience to the deck. The overall tournament was a continuous learning experience, with each match giving me a sharper and sharper edge. I ended up finishing 11-3-1 which put me at 35th place in a field of 1,400+ competitors.
