Bad news: I’m still in the hospital, recovering from appendix removal surgery.
Good news: I’m eating now, for the first time in a week.
Better news: I got a Slurpee today.
Best news: I’m teaching the nurse how to play
@wizards_magic
and it’s really fun!
If 3 Llanowar Elves got together, they would be 3 times as big and produce 3 times the mana, but all for 1 card - my
#ModernHorizons
preview card is "Llanowar Tribe" - enjoy!!! Thanks to
@wizards_magic
for giving me this preview content.

I FINISHED the Pioneer 5K at
@kingdoms_tv
#MTGSummit
UNDEFEATED!!! It was only my second Pioneer tournament ever & my first one in over 2 1/2 years! I won my biggest cash prize at $425 & now have 3
@wizards_magic
formats (Modern, Limited, & Pioneer) I have Day 2ed and/or cashed.
I’m feeling a bit better today from the appendix removal surgery so I decided to crack some packs and play
@wizards_magic
in the hospital - it’s a good way to pass the time esp. since I’ll be here through at least Sunday. It’s not as good as
#MCMinneapolis
but it’s something!
At
#MTGAustin
I SET A WORLD RECORD by achieving my goal of becoming the youngest player to win cash at a GP! I ended 10-4-1 in 46th place, peaked at 13th / 8-1 at end of 1st day, won the Play It Forward playmat for the top female player, & now have more GP Day 2s than my dad. :)
Guess who is 6-1 and has made her second Day 2 - a round earlier than last time even! my next goal is to win as many rounds as my age - 3 more to go!

@ChannelFireball
@CFBEvents
I DID IT! I made it to Mythic Rank in
@MTG_Arena
and I did with Historic ELVES! At age 10, I am likely the youngest, but also I have to wait 8 years to be eligible for the Qualifier, so for now I got a Victory Slurpee! See the deck, games & my reaction at:
WOW! I can't believe this was from 7 years ago today, at the first ever big
@wizards_magic
@PlayMTG
event where I played on my own (side event at GP LA). I was 5 years old. Not sure about the coolness, but I was really little.
Thanks
@Kesswylie
for pointing out the memory!
I won the
@DreamHackMagic
Standard RCQ at
@TheTCGTavern
to qualify for my THIRD U.S. Regional Championship in a THIRD format! And I did it with the help of Nissas!
So what will I do the rest of the season? Judge, since I’ve now passed all the L1 judge certifications!
I did it - I qualified for the
@DreamHackMagic
Regional Championship in Dallas, as probably the youngest to do so!! It was Limited & I didn’t lose a match all day. I can’t wait to compete at the RC & hopefully next stop will be PT Barcelona!
@DreamHack
@wizards_magic
@PlayMTG
My first Masters 25 preview card is Pendelhaven! And I really like the art choice on this one. Also I think it’s cool that Pendelhaven is over 3 times older than me.
#MTGM25
I can’t believe it - I’m 5-0 in the GP at
#MTGReno
!!!! This is my first 5-0 start ever in a GP and it’s my best start by a lot in a Limited GP.
@ChannelFireball
@CFBEvents
I met my match at the
#MTGSeattle
prize wall! I have been wanting to have a Nissa oversized card for years and here I am with an extremely good Nissa in fact. We thought that it would be taller than me but it turns out that it is 75% as tall as me. I love it!!!!
I finished the first day of GP /
#MTGAustin
at 8-1 - my best ever &
#13
of 802!!! Elves welcomed me back with open arms. :) This time when I made Day 2 my dad
@afischer71
didn't burst into tears. I now have more GP Day 2s than him & am going for his # of PTs :)
@ChannelFireball
I always like seeing
@ReidDuke
at events, and he is so nice and has been very kind to give me some good advice starting from when I was very young! Here we are at
#MCBarcelona
vs. when we first met at GP Vegas in 2017. He even offered to kneel again but I am taller now.
I’m still in the hospital recovering from surgery to remove my appendix & looks like I’ll be here through Tue but at least I got my hair braided by a friend & I did another
#MTGMOM
#MTGMachine
pack-cracking and sealed build and I’ve been enjoying the
#MCMinneapolis
highlights.
With the new decade here, I thought I’d do one of those beginning of decade vs end of decade comparisons ... but wait a second - look at the beginning of the decade - where am I? Oh wait, I forgot, I wasn’t born yet, but now I’m here & can compare this to when I’m 19 in 10 years!
I just saw I already crossed over 1,000 Planeswalker Points this season, due to all the
@ChannelFireball
MagicFests I've been going to,
@wizards_magic
I've been playing, and matches I've won. That makes me
#3
in California,
#30
in the U.S., and
#45
in the World right now!
I am EXHAUSTED after the first day of the GP at
#MTGReno
! Especially with playing Round 9 and finishing at 9pm. But I went 7-2 so not only made my first Limited GP Day 2 but am in good position going into the second day. Time to immediately go to bed now!
@ChannelFireball
See below for a Facebook post where a father explains how his 7-year-old daughter has improved so much at school thanks to
@wizards_magic
and being inspired by me. I'm so honored to be having such an impact and that inspires me!
Finally headed home!!!
*RECAP* of “AppendixCon”:
Lowlights: missed
#MCMinneapolis
, felt sick, had surgery, stuck in hospital 6 days, IV was not fun
Highlights: time to relax, staff was amazing, taught 2 nurses to play
@wizards_magic
and met 3rd who played, therapy dog visited
Look what
@goberthicks
sent me for my birthday - an Elvish Champion from the 8th Edition prerelease (still in the wrapper) that is almost exactly 7 years older than me, and an cool altered Nissa emblem that Olivia made for me! I love them!!!!!!! Thank you Olivia!
I went UNDEFEATED on Day 1 of the Pioneer 5K event at
@kingdoms_tv
#MTGSummit
and have already secured a cash prize!!!! And I can thank a very flavorful Oath of Nissa into Nissa for securing my last win. Tomorrow is Day 2 where with one more win I break my cash prize record!
I love this comparison of now vs then of
#SDCC2023
re-creations vs. some of my favorite pictures from
#SDCC
2017, with
@maro254
- I look very different now and am much taller!
Today I turn 14 years old, which means I am 1 year closer to being able to play in
@MTG_Arena
@MagicOnline
competitive events.
Sadly my birthday is not during
#SDCC2024
@Comic_Con
like last year, but I’ll be there all 4 days playing
@wizards_magic
- who else will be there?
I just got my braces off!!!! And what better way to celebrate than with a stream with NO GUMMY RULES!! Come join at while we play some
@wizards_magic
and I enjoy being done with braces!
I saw
@TolarianCollege
at
#MTGLasVegas
and we talked about how Merfolk were kind of like the blue version of Elves and I said that made them worse!
I'm so excited - I just found out I get to preview a card from Guilds of Ravnica (
#MTGGRN
)! It's a really cool card and I'll be previewing it on Wed, Sep 12. I'm thinking of some fun things to say about it too . . . maybe some guessing before I reveal it :)
I’m in the Top 8 of the Pioneer RCQ for
@DreamHackMagic
at Critical Hit Games and I think I’m the top seed!!!! I’m so excited to be in this position and hope I do well!
I qualified for
@DreamHack
#DHAtlanta
at the
@DreamHackMagic
RCQ today! I made the finals and then gave the Jace lanyard to the other finalist Carlo as I wanted nothing to do with Jace! Hope to see you in Atlanta, my second RC in a row!
I’m so excited to reveal my exclusive
#MTGM21
preview card now! It’s very fitting for me & a card I can’t wait to play. To find out more, check out the video on my YouTube channel via the link below and don’t forget to Subscribe!

Watch here:
My
#MTGIkoria
preview card is Lead the Stampede! I’ve drawn 5 creatures with it in my Elves deck & I’m happy it’s in Standard now! Congrats to
@kappolo
for guessing it first &
@bradleyrose
soon after. Also see its story moment graphic below. Thanks
@wizards_magic
for the preview!
I saw a post from
@wizards_magic
of this little girl (7yo Phoebe) playing at
#MCBarcelona
so my dad & I found her for a game as it’s so cool to see even younger girls playing Magic! She spoke mostly French but we made it work & that made her playing more impressive! Go Phoebe!
It was so great to see
@ReidDuke
at
#Magic30
- Reid has been a great inspiration and has given me great advice over the years, & he was one of the first
@wizards_magic
@PlayMTG
pros I met, in Vegas over 5 years ago (see that photo below - I was so tiny then!)
@ChannelFireball
The second preview card I have for Masters 25 is Nettle Sentinel! And both preview cards are in both my Modern and Legacy Elves decks – how cool!
#MTGM25
My Guilds of Ravnica preview card is 3G for a 0/0, but it gets a +1/+1 counter for each creature card in your graveyard & has Haste. So it can immediately get in there for some beatdown - yayaya! Enjoy "Golgari Raiders" & thanks to
@wizards_magic
for the
#MTGGRN
preview!
I'm in a special (mostly) age 14-and-under
#MTGMH1
pre-release draft at
@GameEmpireSD
! They're also doing one for Core 20 and maybe for that one there can also be some other girls too.
I may still be a child, but I’m an older one now, as it’s my 12th birthday today!!!! And how perfect to have both Chandra and Nissa together to celebrate it, and to have it happen at
@Comic_Con
!
#SDCC22
#SDCC
. I get to spend my birthday playing
@wizards_magic
with cool people!
OMG - IT’S ME (The Disciple of Nissa)! I’m so honored that
@GavinVerhey
made this card of me for the Unknown event at
#MCAmsterdam
- it’s perfect!!!!
I’d love to trade for any copies if people are willing. I will be at Creator Central from 10-11:30 today then around the hall.
I met
@ReidDuke
back at GP Las Vegas 2017 and I like saying hi to him at most every event where I can and he makes time to do so and it’s much appreciated! Here we are at
#MCChicago
.
I'm going to VEGAS, BABY!! I'll be at the
@ChannelFireball
#MTGLasVegas
event this weekend & will play in the Modern main! I got my vaccination verified (at - thank you Moderna trial!) & if you'll be there make sure you do so. WHO OF YOU WILL I GET TO SEE?
I won my last match and am now 4-0 - in fact I'm undefeated in games at
#GPPortland
! :) Just 2 more wins to go to make my first Day 2. In fact I had a dream last night that I went undefeated in the whole GP !
Nurse count : 2
It’s my last day at the hospital (recovering from appendix removal surgery), and I got to teach a second nurse a little about how to play
@wizards_magic
while waiting for my discharge papers and prescription. All the nurses here were awesome by the way!
I'm finally home from surgery & got to sleep in my own bed last night! I miss streaming so I decided to stream today, even though it's not our usual day to stream. I can talk about how it's been, and play some
@wizards_magic
@MTG_Arena
!
Live now at
I'm 4-1 after 5 rounds at the Modern last-chance PPTQ at
@GameEmpireSD
and am in 4th place out of the 45 players that entered and able to draw into my 3rd Top 8!
I made Top 8 again at an
@DreamHackMagic
RCQ (which makes back-to-back Top 8s!), this time in Limited at Imperial Games and as the
#1
seed! But it was no thanks to this guy who was in my deck but I never even played him. Well he’s no fun anyway …
Now on the the Top 8 draft!
