What is going on in your continent? RC invites should be easy to get. Here in North America it feels like every game store runs and rcq per season with 1-4 invites on the line and larger TO’s will host opens that are 100 player + and offer invites to top 16. Getting a pro tour invite means you have to top 8 the RC though.

Legacy (the TO, not the format) has the license for all of Europe and Africa. They charge a poo poo ton to LGSs for the event package (like 300€) and vastly prefer Italian LGSs, being Italian themselves. Stores are forbidden from hosting events which offer more than one slot, among other nonsense. Basically our qualification system is run by incompetent jerks, which is why all of Germany has like 8 RCQs per season while the Italians get 30+. And a Modern RCQ in my region easily gets over 70 players for a single slot.

At least our RC sends the top 24 to the Pro Tour I guess?!

drat that is wild as gently caress. Stores here can host a single slot rcq for like a hundred bucks, lol

Yeah the big difference between what we have in Canada and the way every other region does it is that it's way easier to qualify for our RC, but the caveat is that our RC sends way fewer people to the PT/worlds

Some Aussie on reddit posted about making top 8 with 3-2 in a 20ish player Sealed RCQ and then getting the slot by winning his quarterfinal since the event qualified FOUR people lmao

Sorry I wasn't trying to be condescending. Losing games to adjusting to the modo client is incredibly common and there's things you can play other than leagues until you get your play patterns ironed out and find the stops you like.
Open play (best of one, all jank)
tournament practice (best of 3, free, good place to play a few games and iron out the deck)
2 player queues (heads up match to double your entry. don't exist anymore for modern)
friendly leagues (6tix/60pp, break even at 3-2, half back at 2-3)
competitive leagues (10 tix/100pp money back at 3-2, half at 2-3)
Format challange (the big event)

Oh I was trying to playfully joke around (doesn't translate well to text) - no apology necessary. What I was doing is really dumb (0-5 all 0-2 in my first league lmao) and I really appreciate this advice. This format is not magic like I have ever played it before. I had no idea about TP and that's where I am headed next.

This format is awesome though. I think I have the right mindset going into it - staying humble about it and focusing on improving over winning, but also enjoying the small wins. Right now my small wins are things like clicking through Amulet titan triggers one by one as I process what is going on (hey pal, you picked this deck - you get to suffer through this with me), and taking a game off Yawg and LE. Piloting is 100% different from watching aspiringspike, mrseri and 2headedgiant do it on stream.

I understand how titan works now and won't put y'all through that anymore. But also maybe I will because what the gently caress is wrong with you people.

The ones as good as Smothering Tithe are the Shocks and those were already revealed. Honestly are there really any other cards from the sets that they're pulling from for this Remaster that need reprinting as much as the Shock Lands?

I know what you mean but anyone playing mtg has no leg to stand on wrt criticizing gatcha unless you're advocating for counterfeits lol.

edit: or secret lair lairs, or precons that now have the MSRP filed off I guess, that's not gambling at least :v:

edit 2: in addition to smothering tithe, blood moon was also excellent

All the retro frames ever do is remind me how loving good they are as art. I get that new frames are better as functional game pieces, but man, old frame is just evocative af.
