If ur not making ur interview guests blush, whatever are you even doing?
After a weekend catching up with the likes of @sergeyager.bsky.social and co. at @facetofacegames.bsky.social #SpotlightEclipsed my cheeks HURT from all the smiles.
That all being said: hopefully will be able to upload videos tomorrow!
In the meantime, check out the collab that a bunch of us at #SpotlightEclipsed with the one and only @gavinverhey.bsky.social

#SpotlightEclipsed , I used what I learned and applied there about #MTGLowryn to trophy a draft on @mtgarena.com - see here in this video where I walk you through my thought process, the draft, and the games! youtu.be/O7NaDwP296w

The vibes at #SpotlightEclipsed were unparallel and dude Lucas here from S.O.C.C. cEDH group was SO GEEKED to get interviewed!
What a sweetie 🤣🤣🤣
I had such a great time at @facetofacegames.bsky.social #SpotlightEclipsed in Toronto & want to thank all the wonderful people involved! There are too many to name specifically, but special thanks to @mtgkelly.bsky.social for hosting & @steelcitysteph.bsky.social for coordinating among creators!
I also want to give a special thank you to @nicoletipple.bsky.social , Ryan Bellamy, and @walaoumpa.bsky.social (Eduardo Sajgalik) who gave me great advice over the weekend at @facetofacegames.bsky.social #SpotlightEclipsed in Toronto which helped me do as well as I did there!
I’m so happy with how I finished at @facetofacegames.bsky.social #SpotlightEclipsed in Toronto! I played against some top players and went 4-1-1 in the draft, including 3-0 in my last pod (see deck below). I went 10-3-1 overall for 41st out of 1761 players and got the foil promo and cashed!!
Here’s a quick video of me doing the first called draft at @facetofacegames.bsky.social #SpotlightEclipsed in Toronto along with 226 other players (out of the 1761 who started the event) - it was quite the experience!
Here are some pictures of me doing the called drafting for Day 2 of @facetofacegames.bsky.social #SpotlightEclipsed in Toronto which was quite a cool experience that I was both nervous and excited to do!
There were a lot of great cosplayers at @facetofacegames.bsky.social #SpotlightEclipsed in Toronto such as @creativekitty.bsky.social and @purplerogue57.bsky.social ! (I was in my Nissa cosplay the first 2 days but not this day since I wanted more time to focus on competing)
I last saw @purplerogue57.bsky.social at GP Montreal 6-7 years ago and it was great seeing her again at @facetofacegames.bsky.social #SpotlightEclipsed in Toronto!

I am very happy to have this in my collection now! Thank you so much to the talented and kind @zaraalfonso.bsky.social for the amazing proof commission she did for me at #SpotlightEclipsed. 🥰
At #SpotlightEclipsed in Toronto, @facetofacegames.bsky.social did a fun interview with me that should be coming out soon!

"The largest gathering of Magic players in Canada" goes hard.
I scrubbed out of the main event in 3 rounds. Efficient use of time if you ask me.
The D00-DL Showdown has been approved for Magic Con Vegas 2026
#SpotlightEclipsed photos coming soon, but in the meantime…
Grab your Sharpies >:)
They say to never meet your heroes, but I did that and it ruled so I'm not sure what those people were on about. 💖
Still coming down from the awesome that was #SpotlightEclipsed this past weekend. I am profoundly lucky to have had the opportunity to be there and help add to the attendee experience.
It was so great to make Day 2 at @facetofacegames.bsky.social #SpotlightEclipsed in Toronto along with my friend @nicoletipple.bsky.social and she really helped me a lot in preparing for the draft portion!
Magic Spotlight: Eclipsed was amazing this weekend!! Thank you to @facetofacegames.bsky.social for hosting such an insane and smooth event, as well as inviting me to be a featured creator for the first time! I had a blast, I only wish I took more pictures…

Realized I didn't even pull my commander deck out of my backpack this weekend at #SpotlightEclipsed.
Too busy jamming canlander games. Unreal turnout from the canlander community this weekend. They even organized an informal 16 person tournament.
Please keep showing up to events with decks 🙏❤️
I got to have a very helpful conversation with @sergeyager.bsky.social at @facetofacegames.bsky.social #SpotlightEclipsed where he gave me tons of great insight and advice on working as a creator full-time. It was great seeing him and I greatly appreciated the discussion!
Shoutout to the buyers at @facetofacegames.bsky.social #spotlighteclipsed for helping me finish my full set of Chocobo track foils this weekend.
I'm so pumped about having the full set. 😊
Okay, #SpotlightEclipsed in Toronto this past weekend was a blast.
I got to see so many old friends and meet so many new people.
I spent the weekend running Chaos pods all day for all three days. We ended up firing about 17 pods for the whole weekend! I only played in one 😅.
Absolutely agree with Jim. #SpotlightEclipsed was wonderful and shows great potential for Canadian-based events. If I have one critique it was with the size/amount of table space for the Free Play/Creator area, as it was at times hard to find a place to sit, but overall it was really great.
Assorted con thoughts following #SpotlightEclipsed:
1) @facetofacegames.bsky.social absolutely crushed this event in every conceivable way. Attendance was off the charts and the vibes were immaculate. I heard from the judges that the events went smoothly. The con hall was an appropriate size.
Had an awesome time at #Spotlighteclipsed yesterday and got to meet one of my fave MTG content creators! Hopefully get to play you next time @jimtsf.bsky.social !
Huge thank you to @facetofacegames.bsky.social for running another amazing show. For allowing me to help work an amazing event and to @anzidmtg.bsky.social for letting me help out.
See you all in two weeks for Vancouver RC!!!
