@SolofJoshxbox @Brewers_Kitchen Sure but that’s the case with everything Brudiclad. He’s funny, and has powerful weird interactions, but he is neither fast nor particularly resilient

[Derek MTG @DcaleCoulter]

@ClancysCorner I think this “excitement starvation” leads a lot of fans to desperately cling to ideas like Willis, despite the fact that there’s no real proof he’s even better than Brisett. And frankly no QB this cycle is better than Kyler.

[Derek MTG @DcaleCoulter]

@ClancysCorner So I think to a lot of people Malik Willis’ “upside” represented hope, which is something the cardinals have lacked for a minute. Even when we get a little hope it generally lasts less than a season.j

@CamCox12 At no point in this season did Brissett have a better win % than Kyler Murray.

@Gambo987 Bare minimum expectation is Kyler Murray plays the entire season at the level of a franchise quarterback. If that happens, I expect to win a playoff game because Kyler is so electric. Anything short of that, and I think it’s time to start looking for other options at QB and OC

@GavinVerhey To expand on this: I think it’d be cool to have a rebel commander that could have some interesting mechanics whether or not you want to make her Volrath in disguise. Maybe a transform mechanic xD

@masoneclark You plan on forfeiting if you don’t like the answer or nah?

@PWPMtG We did it boys. We broke LED

@SaffronOlive This isn’t just a magic thing, but game theory in general.

If you’re in a losing position you can’t expect to play conservatively and win. That’s hoping for your opponent to lose the game for you. Instead You want to take bigger risks for bigger rewards.

@PleasantKenobi Wait…the energy deck is primarily built with the set that supports energy?!

Call the cops!

[Derek MTG @DcaleCoulter]

@golgariguy @BurningOleander But again, basically any lifegain, board state, or interaction from the opponents stops that win attempt. And don’t discount making 10 saprolings. That’s also an investment.

It just feels disingenuous to suggest that craterhoof is on the same level as an infinite combo

[Derek MTG @DcaleCoulter]

@golgariguy @BurningOleander 10 saprolings don’t win with craterhoof unless your opponents have virtually no creatures on board.

10 1/1 saprolings each getting +11 power = 120 damage

+ the 16 from the Craterhoof.

So 136 damage DOES kill with a literally empty board with basically no interaction at all.

@SaffronOlive For the next 2-4 years? Absolutely. A lot of these IPs can support multiple sets (The middle earth one was set only during lord of the rings). Forever? Probably not, but when has MtG EVER done anything “forever”?

[Derek MTG @DcaleCoulter]

@wachelreeks I also drafted Nacua, Collins, Aiyuk, and Godwin xD

[Derek MTG @DcaleCoulter]

@danaroach I’ve had numerous people claim that the behavior towards the RC was overstated because “I haven’t seen any threats”. Which is pretty gross

[Derek MTG @DcaleCoulter]

@ghirapurigears I think a lot of people recognize that this isn’t intended to be a call for death. The issue I see is that unless someone has the same experiences as you, frequents the same corners of the internet as you, and views the world the same as you, it becomes taken as a threat or wish
