Summary
Tony Scapone didn't just win NYSE. He predicted he would. Fresh off taking home the Black Lotus at NYSE , Tony joins the show to break down his Jewel Shops list, the evolution of the archetype, key card choices, and how he navigated one of the most competitive Vintage tournaments of the year. In this episode we discuss: • How Jewel Shops actually works • Why Tony believes this build is better than stock Jewel lists • The role of Paradox Engine, Transmute Artifact, and Metamorph • Matchups against Doomsday, Initiative, BUG, and Shops • His Top 8 path through NYSE • Why open decklists improve competitive Magic • What it's like competing for a Black Lotus Tony also shares stories from the event, explains several key plays from the tournament, and discusses what's next after one of the biggest wins of his Magic career.
