My wrist has decided I need to switch to two handed bowling immediately. So, as of Sunday 2/26 after my league, I have made the switch. As a result, we have ourselves YET ANOTHER new bowling thread.

[Mike Dionesotes @DionesotesRex]

Hell yeah

[Mr. Cards @LemorasCards]

@jordan_foresta I watched a couple breakup in a game because of cedh politics.

Hello, Based Department??

[Sam Bogue @IslandGoSAMe]

this is my personal mike long tale. it leaves out a bit of context of our first interaction at spotlight orlando in 2025.

cheaters and scumbags and bigots do not belong in competitive magic. don't let them feel welcome.

[Mike Dionesotes @DionesotesRex]

Thanks, I hate it.

@adamjohnsonCHI Either right then or about six month after, regular boxes of cereal at Jewel were like ten fucking dollars. May as well have bought Magic Spoon if you wanted cereal at that price.

Budget deck in first place! (Only three copies of Candelabra 🙃)

Legacy Showcase Challenge Top 8 decklists for Sunday, May 24 (225 players) #mtg #mtgLegacy

A Tron mirror split the finals! 💠💠🏆

Hogaak gets 3rd 🪦

Sneak and Show finished 4th 🫣

[Mike Dionesotes @DionesotesRex]

Field and Phlage deserved it.

Jitte has been the safest unban for nearly a decade.

The Violent Outburst unban is nonsensical.

[Mike Dionesotes @DionesotesRex]

Unbanning Violent Outburst to throw living end a bone after someone famously losing a game where they got to Vamp Tutor a billion times was quite a bold choice, ngl.

Lowkey might be some future meme potential here.

[rosey🌹 @thechosenberg]

I see no problems let the man clown

[Mike Dionesotes @DionesotesRex]

Hopes for today:

Standard: the entire standard format is banned

Legacy: balastrade spy and undercity informer

[Mike Dionesotes @DionesotesRex]

Standard probably needs to ban a lot of one drops but I don’t think WotC will go for it.

[Clarence Thomas the Tank Engine @TheRealJChubby]

If being anti-data center is China first call me Chairman Mao.

[Mike Dionesotes @DionesotesRex]

Restraining myself from going for the savage dunk on some of the replies here, but y’all realize that you cannot actually design these to be generically good game pieces, right?

The only two options (for game health) are fringe utility or unplayable.

[Brewer's Kitchen @Brewers_Kitchen]

Kinda wild how bad these turned out to be. I play Midgar in aristocrat-y decks, but even there it's mostly just a tapped land 🙄 Did anybody have more success with them?

[Mike Dionesotes @DionesotesRex]

@muddaub Unironically liked these

[Michael Sigrist @MSigrist83]

Even the birds shitting all over commander.

[Mike Dionesotes @DionesotesRex]

oh nooooooooooo

@Danaiides @wildstwawberry Also Tron v Twin was a borderline 50/50 matchup towards the very end of Twin’s lifespan
