The days are hectic and busy, sadly not everyone can make it to the staff picture, even when it is organized twice :(

'I brewed a deck and it's Eldrazi' with my UG Stock Up Eldrazi list for #SpotlightModern in Utrecht.
Finished on a 10-5 record.
Deck felt great against the fair field, and very consistent compared to most Eldrazi lists. Combo is rough but it might be a good starting point for post-ban Modern!
¡The Magic Spotlight: Modern está en la final! El ganador se lleva $10,000 y cajas de Modern Horizons 2 y 3. ¡Premio épico!

With a spicy Dimir Midrange deck, @xenowan.bsky.social is 9-3 at Magic Spotlight: Modern! "If you're not playing Breach, Dauthi Voidwalker and Thoughtseize are a good way to attack the metagame." He added blue to a mono-black shell from ClaymoreTobi, and it's delivering results. #SpotlightModern

Peter van der Ham reconfiguró Eldrazi para Magic Spotlight: Modern, añadiendo más Bosques para Utopia Sprawl mientras aprovechaba al máximo Nulldrifter y Stock Up. ¿El resultado? Un motor más fluido y alimentado por robo de cartas que lo llevó al Día 2.
#AncestralGames #SpotlightModern #MTGÑ
"Quería algo muy proactivo. Contra Breach, juegas 6 cartas de interrupción de mano y ganas en el turno 3."

Asger Thorsboe Lundblad
Living End meets Domain Zoo?! Asger Thorsboe Lundblad’s hybrid ran just one cascade spell—Bloodbraid Marauder—but Malevolent Rumble finds it while filling the graveyard. The deck dazzled on camera and carried him to Day 2 of Magic Spotlight: Modern! #SpotlightModern
