EDH Creator tries to win a Standard Championship Qualifier

I'M TRYING TO WIN A MAGIC REGIONAL STANDARD QUALIFIER (RCQ). This is the first step in MTG towards the World Championships, and Standard is the format that I initially started playing when I got in to Magic!
This RCQ took place at Games Haven Paya Lebar and I decided to play the 5 color control/ramp Domain deck that was at the top of the meta.
Join me on my live streams as I continue grinding Standard on MTG Arena in my quest to qualify for the Regional Championships!

Get em!

[@coolmagicguy14]

this type of video is what's been missing from the competitive magic scene for a long time. Really appreciate this type of content.

4:02 Matthew doing the deck check 🤣

[@mfernandezsoberano]

I manage a comic book store that also does magic during the week. We’ve gotten enough people that we qualified to host our first RCQ, so this video was super helpful to me

[@QMTG]

Nice! All the best!

Ive been looking for paper standard tourney videos for a long time. Finally got! Please do more!

[@monkeyjamzter]

at 9:00 the layline binding was bounced but the creature that came from under it also attacked that same turn unless the cut was to the following turn

[@QMTG]

Yeah he bounced it on my end step

[@zulkhaireesulaiman8575]

love this video! thanks for the insight on an RCQ!

[@CosmicGiggalo]

This was excellent! More and more appreciative of 60 card formats so it was super fun to see your journey through this one. : D

[@QMTG]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@harrisbuild]

great format! hope more people do vids like this because it's extremely fun

[@Alduin86]

Very fun to watch! Wish you good luck winning the next one!

[@QMTG]

Thanks so much!

[@brendanrogers9830]

Loved to watch your experience. I am a commander player at heart and have only played standard at a few times at past draft events. You make it look pretty enjoyable! Maybe I’ll give it another shot.

[@QMTG]

Yeah it's pretty fun, sometimes I just need to scratch that competitive itch

[@Guevon_Pajaro]

Dude, as someone kind of new to competitive magic (still long time player), with some smaller unofficial tournaments as my only experience, I really love this kind of video. It's so cool to see first hand what it's like. Good luck in the future man. And I play a ton of standard in arena, and with all the events and momentum for paper standard again, I hope to get to an RCQ like this myself soon. I'll have to pony up for a deck soon. Standard is a ton of fun and diverse at the moment. It's only more inspiring seeing your perspective like this, man! 😁

[@QMTG]

Yeah, it was a great experience! Arena is super helpful in making grinding tolerable but it's really different in paper when keeping track of triggers lol

[@Guevon_Pajaro]

For sure, arena is a one of the best standard testing grounds, then you can pick a deck and it's good to get practice playing it in paper. It's funny, a lot of ppl - - more by coincidence than fault - can be sloppy or not know paper tourney things and practices because of lack of exp, especially since covid. Hope to get back in like you soon ​@@QMTG

[@simonsanchez9505]
