Had a blast jumping on to go over my featured nationals draft and talk high seas limited with @EthnicSmoke on @ArsenalPass this week! Glad this crazy 1 of 1 puffin draft got captured on camera youtu.be/C3uq3N8uxQU?si=SETx…

Made a few mistakes in the quarters to bring the Nats run to an end.Happy with my play this weekend outside of that match and would 100% run back Kassai again given the chance. @ShawnDTCG & @TariqPatel10 both getting their 4th Nats top 8 is also quite hype 🔥

Also big shout out to @Invasioncnc for what I think is the best/smoothest run Nats we’ve had so far, great weekend all around

Had a disappointing 7-7 finish at PT Amsterdam, don’t think I prepared enough for draft this time and ended up 2-4 in the draft portion Super proud of @TariqPatel10 & @ghsfab for their well deserved top 8’s & looking excited to start preparing for Osaka

My personal results were pretty rough this weekend, but the rest of the testing squad absolutely crushed it. Stoked to cheer on @JoelRepta and Sebastian in top 8 tomorrow and @MattDilks who’s currently undefeated going into day 2 of the calling
This is the Top 8. This is the Top 8 of the Pro Tour. This is the Top 8 of the Pro Tour Los Angeles. Get amongst it. Tomorrow - ALL MATCHES LIVE: youtube.com/watch?v=iYxoe8rl… #fabtcg #fabprotour

Ended up 10th at the Realm 20K, 3-0 with dash in draft but didn’t play great in CC and had a couple mistakes that cost me key games. happy with the list overall, excited to cheer on @ShawnDFAB who’s 2nd seed for top 8 of the 10k tomorrow with the same list fabrary.net/decks/01HGPHHR11…

I was lucky enough to meet Adolfo at the armory tonight. He’s responsible for the art on so many iconic cards, would love to see him at an event someday in the future!
Next week we have a very special interview with one of the most emblematic artists from #fabtcg history... and also one of the most mysterious ones. Still don't know who they are? Please let us know if you have any question for Adolfo Navarro!

Big thank you to @PlautoGM & @LaSiemprefiesta for a memorable last night in Valencia! Had a blast trying orxata for the first time and got to play a local draft armory as well where Rafa took me down in the finals 🫡

On my way down to Valencia for a few days before heading back to Canada, reflecting on a pretty incredible weekend. Thanks to everyone for all the messages and support, and congrats to everyone else from the top 8! A few thoughts/reflections below 👇

Firstly have to congratulate @alex_argyriou on a well deserved victory. Can’t think of a better way to end my 11-0 win streak against Fai at tier 3/4 events than losing to the new world champion

3-0 as one of 4 max in the day 2 draft beating the solo dash drafter in the 3rd round, hoping to pick up a couple more wins in cc
Lost round 1 of worlds, rallied back to finish day one at 6-1 after a clean 3-0 with a nice dash deck in draft

Pretty happy with my preparation/play overall, went 24-7 with dromai the last few weeks across the calling/PTI event/Nationals. The fire is lit and I’m really looking forward to digging back into things for worlds

Started off Nats losing a pretty intense feature match against @YukiLeeBender. will 100% be looking back at the VOD of that one, a lot of tough decisions on both sides. Rallied back to 2-1 now going into the draft rounds

Got there on the second attempt in the arena open today. Been really enjoying mtg limited again recently, having Horn of Gondor in every sealed pool I open definitely helps lol
