The Standard metagame and win rates from the Ultimate Guard European Magic Series - Regional Championship in Bologna! #RCBologna
2-3 drop from #rcbologna and some regrets about playing Esper Pixie but still had an absurd time anyway with @barclightbeonix.bsky.social. Two headed giant sealed, beautiful food, signed and oversized cards, and incredible architecture. Cannot wait to come back to Bologna!

Did a deep-dive on something I saw being discussed from #RCBologna - the power of Monstrous Rage!
I took every archetype that would possibly run Rage & counted those decks from the RC!
Do you think Rage is too strong for Standard?

Number of copies across all main decks and sideboards
Across 1,071 Standard decks submitted for the Ultimate Guard European Magic Series - Regional Championship in Bologna, Cori-Steel Cutter (906 copies total) and Sunpearl Kirin (588 copies) are the most-played new-to-Standard cards from Tarkir: Dragonstorm! #RCBologna
The Eu coverage for #RCBologna has just been awesome. Obliviously any coverage with frank is better than any coverage without frank, but there more to it. Great Paul's back on US converge guess not having to pay his full time salary contributed to hasbro's 25% increased profits
Couldn't get back to sleep so up early playing some awesome Standard decks from #RCBologna!
