Eli Swafford

I’m not qualified for worlds this year, but still happy to help out @HandshakeMTG as their local Atlanta courier I’ll still be at the MagicCon to cheer everyone on! (and also play some PTQs)

Very excited to get to participate in theorycrafting for the first time! This is the most i've been looking forward to an expansion in a while, come check it out at twitch.tv/eswaff at 8 AM PST!

7-2 Day 1 of Spotlight Dallas, played bad in the 2 matches I lost Did not register Hama the Bloodbender :(

Matchups: R1: Yawgmoth LL R2: Boros Energy WLW R3: Grixis Reanimator WLW R4: Jeskai Chant WW R5: Prowess LWW R6: Mono Black Urzas Saga Eldrazi WLW R7: Zoo WW QF: Goryos WW SF: Zoo Rematch WW F: Split

Split the finals of this morning's Modern Challenge with Fallaji Archaeologist Goryo's. Still no idea if this is better than the stock list but I do know that the 0/3 statline of Fallaji Archaeologist dominates Ragavan in combat

This event was pure pain last time in Lorwyn (went like 20 draft 1s with 0 draft 2s), but got lucky this time around and made it on my 2nd try. Draft 1 on the left, draft 2 on the right

Bit late but this was the Historic deck that I played in Arena Championship 12! In a meta where people were targeting combo decks, Psychic Frog both gets under combo hate decks and supports playing interaction like Force of Negation to beat combo. @HandshakeMTG @moxfieldmtg

4-4 to just make it into Day 2, lets snipe some dragons tomorrow 🦅 🏹

Excited to see if this idea came anywhere close to what is going on in the Izzet Maestro deck tomorrow

Once you have two Sorceress's Schemes with a big enough Maestro, you can loop the Schemes while also playing any spell from your graveyard infinite times, letting you draw infinite until you kill with Burst Lightning

With Firebending Student + The Last Agni Kai, you can get the large amount of mana needed to do the infinite as early as turn 3! Sazacap's Brew is also very nice here, letting you discard the Schemes, pump your Firebending Student AND give them a fish to fight

Incredibly happy to have been able to work with Team Handshake for this PT! My deck is secret until tomorrow, but heres a brew from early testing using the Molten Core Maestro + Sorceress's Schemes infinite More about how this deck works below ⬇️ @HandshakeMTG @moxfieldmtg

Day 2 pool for those curious: sealeddeck.tech/TycHo3cUd6

Qualified for Arena Championship 12 with some TMNT Sealed! 7-2 Day 1 into 4-0 Day 2. Day 2 pool was very confusing, originally had Sally Pride but ended up cutting it. Both decks included the classic Mouser Foundry splash though. Time to learn the Historic format I guess
