Updates for the following month

Here is my PIONEER decklist that I will be tuning. There are no official changes yet and I will be keeping this as an EXPERIMENTAL version but I will be constantly updating this in trying to make it better.

I will be analyzing all the UW Lotus Field decklists that popped out in the RCs after mine and will be adapting more to the meta. I want to see if there is any way to have a better spirits matchup while not losing equity against many others. I definitely think this is possible with further innovation and I already have some plans in mind. Lotus Field Combo seems to be in check with how the format has shifted and I think it is fine to cut 1 Thought Distortion, for example. Niv-Mizzet, Parun is also on my radar now. Thank you to Yuya Hosokawa for testing it in the Japanese RC.

I will be attending SCGCon Cincinnati and will be in the Pioneer slot for my team. This is largely because I want to continue to keep my Modern decklist lowkey and in terms of format strength in my team, it makes the most logical sense for me to play Pioneer.  

I still continue to practice Modern and have been demonstrating very consistent results. I think I personally have a great chance of doing well at the upcoming PT. Of course, as a reminder, I will not be posting my list until the PT decklists are finalized, I believe around July 25-26. I hope you all continue to understand, I have to ultimately prioritize my Canadian team's success in the PT. 

I also have to practice a lot of Draft and that is the weakest format for me. I regrettably do not have as much experience in limited as I should for a PT competitor and I will be playing a lot of Draft to try to get as prepared as possible. For example, my first COMP REL draft was at PT MoM, and my inexperience showed. 

With that in mind, I will likely push streaming until after the PT, in around August since I doubt many of you would want to see me draft horrendously and play like a buffoon on stream since that is what I will likely be focusing on for the upcoming month.

I think my Modern decklist is close to being 100% and I see very few minor adjustments, if any, for the PT. I feel very comfortable with my current iteration and I think it is a genuinely a Tier 1 deck, something that UW has been regularly struggling with in Modern. I personally did not think UW was tier 1 either in Modern before LotR but the new cards have really changed everything. I think it is similar in strength against the meta as UW Lotus Field where I have very few bad matchups but great matchups against most of the meta. 

I thank you all once again for taking genuine interest in my UW journey. I dedicate a lot of time and effort towards these decklists and I am glad they are showing results. I intend to be much more present in the MTG scene but I know I cannot rush into all of this at once but I strive to push as much content as possible as one person. I do not have a team to make this content and so as much as I want to be as active as possible, I also know that I cannot continuously push out content or I will be burnt out. I genuinely hope you all found value in this Patreon/Discord that I offer and I appreciate everyone here. I am still amazed by the amount of patrons I have in less than one month of opening this Patreon and it is very encouraging.
