B&R prediction btw, just Vintage. Don't think it goes in Legacy at this point. Chance of Snacker in Pauper. Standard is balanced through its imbalance. Trying to hang on until rotation without more changes. ⚖️
The best way to reduce variance play draw I found in Magic is giving free spells to the player on the draw. Solitude, Subtlety and Fury (yes should be unbanned) are great design and the two years of Modern between 2021-2023 where answers greatly exceeded threats were the best Constructed I can remember.
we’re at the point of end stage evil society where when you tell your therapist that life doesnt feel worth living they dont even argue with you they just look at you like this

Talent Dredge 2-1

@chloepatti1@fireshoes I'm still not 100% sure tbh. I'm leaning towards yes atm. The format is fast and hostile towards Goryo's. Messing around with alternative ways to Reanimate is just so slow and often gets you blown out. Gran-Gran helps you do busted things faster, and blocks Ocelot pride well.
