@PascalMaynard@UnlimitedFFG Undefeated for six months with Sabine while hearing Sabine was bad. Draw two and choose what to resource makes for low variance compared to others in the space and breaks the agreement that aggro decks have to make elsewhere. If you're a practiced Mtg vet, you can clean up. RIP
@MaxMMedeiros isn't this boros Vs goryo's vs weak affinity the format? those cards are entirely cracked, but Modern is a house of entirely cracked cards since mh3 and pulling something like kozilek's command out results in killing an entire archetype without anything filling the space
@SaffronOlive Pauper is the last bastion. I keep up with Modern because I like my decks and they only exist there, but I don't like the format at large as there are too many plays that "just win" regardless of what happened previously. Legacy... been a pretty rough set of years for curation
@NileJoanRivers@wizards_magic@SCGCON@noahbradley Axing the DCI was a total tragedy. People often cite known cheaters continuously appearing at events, but it gets far worse. My area has a person formerly banned by the DCI for physical fights, now it's up to the stores alone to keep them out. Noah should clearly be banned
@GavinVerhey The social media campaign around this combo is bizarre. The majority of casual players believe this teases a ban and will be upset if there isn't one. As a competitive player, I would have preferred being saved three weeks of work over being in this rush. Who is this for?
@Mastu_Denton@GavinVerhey it's very weird that the same panel that unbanned High Tide in the same breath they banned Broodscale and Dispute is running a social media campaign around whether or not this card should be emergency banned
@xtracombatphase I agree, there are aesthetic and thematic reasons we are attracted to certain pastimes when spoiled for choice. I found SWU's gameplay compelling as an Mtg alternative at the bar, but the art style and inhabiting someone else's story rather than my own made the appeal fleeting
@GuI_Dukat They should have left us untouched or just yanked off the bandage and banned Analyst
Currently running no Zorb no Analyst and taking even more game actions lol >:)
@BoshNRoll love the hostile relationship between people who desperately want a place to go play games VS the concept of said place staying open if it's not a money laundering front
@manofpong@MartinJuza Many other platforms openly showcase their attempts to achieve as close to a 50% win rate as possible once player skill is accounted for, yet every time you discuss the ways in which Arena attempts to do this people will call you insane and a terrible player lol
@MtgSodek Gruulscale is not handling the new full speed ahead meta super well imo. I've died on turn 2/3 enough times in the past month that I think Mono G is better positioned due to the sol land advantage, but overall it's back to decks with hand traps for me
@gazmon48 organized play isn't a priority because it's no longer required to promote or sell the game
EDH gatherings and aspiring EDH social media stars do all of their promo for them
@jenara19 end the RCQ system, bring back Planeswalker Points or something like them
let's reward people for consistently doing well, not gambling on a single day's result
