From Jund Phoenix to Cephalid Breakfast: My 2022 MTG Deck Adventures
Well, it's been quite a Magic year for me. I've dabbled in Legacy, Modern, Pioneer and even a bit of Pauper. I've played with my trusty Phoenixes of course but also Twiddle Storm, Jeskai Ascendany and Turbo Fog. What a year!

My biggest highlight was playing Vintage with Oath of Druid. I don't own Power but the deck has legs! It was a blast to play and it was fun to bring back Emrakul against my opponents on any board state.

Pioneer was fun but I'll put it aside for now.
Looking back at the results I recorded, it's not very consistent. When I play combo like Cephalid or Omnitell, wins are free. On the other hand I bring some janks and builds I do not know well. This has two downsides: you die to your deck but also to your mistakes! In general my records in Modern were really poor and I didn't have that many chances to play the format.

I also play a lot of formats. I like them all but it's difficult to master them. I managed to make top 8 at FNM seasonal for Legacy and Pioneer. The Pioneer top 8 still needs to be played but in Legacy I didn't quite come out victorious.
Last sunday was #magicmastersmol and I controlled a "stock" #mtglegacy cephalid breakfast list to a 🍣🦑🦑🦑🍣🦑 finish. Good for a 10th place, not too shabby!

My best performance of the year was 10th place at Magicmastersmol with Cephalid Breakfast. This deck was my go-to deck for most of the second part of the year. I'm glad I decided to acquire it with all the buzz it's getting lately. Right now it's well positioned in the format.
Overall, I've had a pretty even win-loss record, but the important thing is I've kept on playing and experimenting with different decks. I participated in many tournaments and learned a lot from it.
One of my goals for last year was to keep a record sheet, but I didn't keep up with that. It's not too late, and I will make sure to keep up with it this year. I would also like to be a little be more consistent on FNM but my 2 first deckchoices are already in the bad direction so I'll have to work on that! Finally I want to produce art again. It's time to make those custom tokens that are in all my sketchbooks.

I want to thank all the people that make playing at demospel great as it's always a moment of fresh air to be able to relax, jam some cards and win or lose some games
