@Akaleth My thinking was this vs scarab swarm. I just didn’t know which upside of this being a recruit able land vs scarab swarms army in a can came out on top. Obviously swarm has better utility in that in some cases you target yourself which seems unlikely with gobo
@alli_on_mtgo Realistically this is the reason there’s so much talk of OBM ban right ? People want to cast their can trips unchecked again. I am on the side of banning grief, purely from an enjoyment POV. The non games you get from the evoke into reanimating turn one sucks
@EternalMTG Bowmaster is a healthy card for the format and the only people that actually want it banned are ponder/brainstorm players. D&T probably has the most X/1s in the format and frankly we don’t care if it’s cast against us. Grief on the other hand can die.
@MattBrown_MTG That’s fair I’ve never played Pokémon properly. I mean that’d be one way to do away with IDs. Having not played tcgs before magic the concept just felt alien
@0entropy@jasonkmurray Then I would question how you got to the point in a tournament where IDs usually take place. Then if they’re doing those things, game loss. It wouldn’t take long for people to stop doing it
@0entropy@jasonkmurray you can punish people for intentionally drawing (not playing lands or attacking) but obviously you dont punish misplays or suboptimal plays. just an alien concept to almost all over competitive scenes
@0entropy@jasonkmurray i think fixing the result of a match is against the competitive integrity of any game. i came in to magic quite late and it seemed wild to me that people just decided to not play games. if it happened in football, hockey or baseball people would riot.
@MattBrown_MTG I could only play paper D&T on mtgo for 15 days before another universes beyond card came out. I know it’s only one card but it genuinely makes me not want to get on mtgo
