Weekend Update and Modern Decklist
Added 2023-06-19 04:48:08 +0000 UTCHello to you all! I just wanted to give an update about RC Edmonton.
I did 5-1-1 in the Friday Super Qualifier with my only loss being an intentional concede. Split the top 8.
5-3 Day 1 of the RC, was not happy with my performance and I think it was because of a multitude of reasons. Most specifically because I was tired. I still think the deck is very strong and can easily be adjusted to make some matchups stronger. I would likely consider my losses to be mostly my fault.
1-1 Drop Day 2 since my first round was against spirits. Won my next match against Greasefang to secure top 64 (min cash) and dropped after.
4-0-2 in Modern Super Qualifier with:

2-1 Jund Creativity
2-1 Amulet Titan
1-1 Living End
1-2 Hardened Scales (@Edge_SKL intentionally conceded TYVM)
2-1 Murktide

I lost to Hardened Scales but he conceded because he could not continue the event. I think Hardened Scales is a good matchup overall and open decklists likely would have converted this to a natural win. Opponent played very tight though.
Won the Quarterfinals against 5c Creativity and split the top 4. After winning game 1, I slammed a turn 2 blood moon with Gemstone Caverns on the draw. It was nasty.
In all, was a great weekend and had a lot of fun. Got 4000 tix from top 8ing both qualifiers which netted me 7 draft boxes of New Capenna (friend gave 200 tix since it was 600 tix each)
MODERN THOUGHTS:
I think Reprieve genuinely makes UW Narset loads better and much more consistent. I think it has the potential of being Tier 1 like UW Lotus Field in Pioneer.
I have posted my initial list and I already know what I need to change to make this better for the PT. That said, I have made the decision to not update the Patreon list until after the PT. I will have a sideboard guide after the PT ready as well.
The main reason is that some people in my PT team is considering to play this deck and I do not want to mess up the team’s overall odds by having my list out there. It was a hard decision I made but I hope you all understand. I always get excited to move forward with new cards that I think can improve the deck but this is just the best thing I can do moving forward.
