@rcondon_ Also re: some of the discussion, Arena is not rolling its own RNG implementation - it's almost certainly just using a library. Yes, truly random numbers are hard to do. No, it does not matter - pseudorandom is good enough.

[TrippyToad @TrippyToad666]

@rcondon_ I can't believe this has to actually be debated in 2026

[TrippyToad @TrippyToad666]

@TonyScapone What does this do better? Better card selection from U, anything else?

@JessyEHefner3 how about a pic of that sideboard?

@TheNerdySteve this cube iteration on arena was supposed to be the arena cube instead of powered, but they swapped it out last minute

[TrippyToad @TrippyToad666]

@jakeformayor A consistent gameplan of applying pressure early is a great way to beat the unfair decks too.
Though obviously this is vintage cube - sometimes you just lose to t3 tinker when you're not running counterspells

[TrippyToad @TrippyToad666]

@jakeformayor Green was quite good last iteration. Hoping to continue to see it drafted at 13%, versus blue's 26%. I'll be doing my thing ramping 1 into 3 and beating down while everyone talks about how bad green is.

Nathan lives against attack all

Nathan at 4 life with flyer. So we can just not think about it.

Nathan has 7 blockers, against 6 attackers
9/8 trample, and 5 attackers
4/4, 2/2 block the trample, 5 blockers block rest of the creatures

Took a look at this situtation:
Did matt nass have lethal attacking with everything here? Nathan at 12, Matt is as 11 Keen eyed curator is summoning sick

@jakeformayor What’s the sample size at this point? Can’t be more than ~300

@rcondon_ Banger tweet

@maggiepint While this is true, Songs About Jane is a banger of an album

[TrippyToad @TrippyToad666]

@ReidDuke @UltimateGuard Great read. I love how divisive Lutri is - some love it, some don't. I'm on team don't - but there are times it's good. It's not "free" - you do have to spend a pick on it. If your deck lacks spells, then I think that most of the time people waste a pick on it for a 6 mana 3/2.

@orsonscottcard @thomas_garrard Enders Game is a series that has stuck with me for years. All of my books in the main series are worn and have been read many times.
Always shocked me that someone who could write a story about compassion for others could hold such abhorrent opinions about their fellow humans

@Vendilion No love for the fast mana decks? Academy and broken jar seem like they would do quite well with presenting wins so quickly
