@puntthenwhine Way of the Paradox with Wren and Six looks very strong in a creativity or 4c midrange deck

[Matt @MatthewMorison1]

@Maarco65 It’s so impractical to own magic cards that now people have to post about canceling a rental service instead of selling their collection.

@Cody_Meyer1993 Dragonshield are inconsistent as hell but when you get a good pack of them, they beat any other sleeve out there for durability and shuffle feel over the longterm.

@ToGDionysus @m_evans10 @GavinVerhey @fireshoes You can buy playsets of all of these cards for less than $20

[Matt @MatthewMorison1]

@gazmon48 $500 faker skins

@wildstwawberry Pro tour meta looks like this with phlage unbanned because jamming combo has always been how you win in this format. People just cope that they can play jund.

@BunnyJoBurton Devoted druid feels pretty close to a modern deck that would've existed in that era, except now it has 8 redundancies for the important effects instead of playing stuff like kitchen finks and scavenging ooze.

[Matt @MatthewMorison1]

@JoshuaClaytor Do you think some of this is the result of Huey coming from an era where getting to the PT was the only level of success in Magic and people were happy to be living in poverty, sleeping on people's couches/floors and grinding PTQs at a loss?

@Ajelenbogen Their egos wouldn't let them ban Llanowar Elves

@FSYFev Yeah how many people who enjoy wow got tricked into playing a bit of it.

@Skylinex13 Not to defend the millionaire movie star with a hot wife, but isn’t it just low hanging fruit to throw into the Deadpool script? Doesn’t seem that deep.

@space8531 It’s a sunken aircraft carrier with marine life growing on it.

[Matt @MatthewMorison1]

@CavernOnHumans If it's done well with care (lotr, avatar, wh40k) then I'd imagine a lot of enfranchised players are fine with UB. But I bet way more than 7% would give up the good UB sets to not have to look at Star Trek and Marvel sets ever again.

@Naokuro6 Prefer constructed

@DPTyrellN @paolo_donfra I think a group of individuals using a certain loud minority’s opinions on social media is worse than slower reaction based on unimpeachable amounts of data. At least two prominent content creators spoke with Gavin personally about the bans. That is not the format I want.

[Matt @MatthewMorison1]

@TonyScapone @m3dvedev They tried spacing out b&r’s to not happen shortly before or after set releases and another vocal group was mad enough about it to get them to change that policy. And many people have a problem with the pfp using 3 days of data to ban a card that wasn’t clearly over the line.

[Matt @MatthewMorison1]

@Marzaboi_MTG @A_AdeptoTerra @LPauperItalia @GavinVerhey Agree with everything you said. Also new cards coming out and breathing life into old cards is the spirit of pauper and other eternal formats. Sad to see the old card getting banned so that we can keep pizza dog clip art.
