Me at a tourney contemplating my teammate's destruction in a casual game.

Victims have been known to go mad trying to reverse-engineer how they lost.

This fugitive is a chess-obsessed conjurer, capable of reducing even the sharpest witch or wizard into a forgotten pawn. HypermodernTactician doesn’t cast spells in chaos—he casts them in sequence, in silence, in inevitability. He doesn't fight battles. He designs them.

No one he works alone.

“You’re not a threat. You’re tempo loss.”
