Another rcq another event we are calling up friends to try and hit 8. This is pathetic.
Good points here. Mono Red rising quickly and many tournaments don't feature the homogenized Vivi metagame we see on coverage. I often see sentiment at the LGS level about being tired of the best deck without having ever played against it.

Split top 4 of RCQ with Dimir. Riddler was a cool transformational sideboard plan I came up with later in the week when red decks have a bunch of removal for small creatures. Lost top 4 when we played it.
