That hurts.

Your explanation of Modern was 100% fair and balanced. Bravo. This however: You got into vintage so I assume you acquired a Black Lotus. I'm looking at a HP UNL Lotus on TCGplayer for $3400. That's one card. Care to expound on your definition of 'little effort'?

I agrree with Kuro; definitely start with green staples, seems like the backbone color of current standard. Sylvan Advocate & Tireless Tracker aren't going anywhere for a while.

Friend of ours is getting into Modern and puts together a Tron list. We tell him best way to learn a format with so many decks is to just jump in. He plays a tourney today, after round 1 he texts us all: "How come nobody told me about Stony Silence?" Welcome to Modern, son.

Never thought I'd ask this but ... What happened to the 10 load machine gun thing? The attention of your loving wife has suddenly cured your demon possesed junk?

I just beat Missiles/Wyrm with Tunnel Trogg/Lightning Bolt. Actually got to be sorta fun once i started making totems.

New Taric is great once you get out of lane phase and can link to a tank. Stunning off a Garen chasing someone down is pretty sick.

I thought the WotC dodge was that Judges work for the tournament organizers?

I started my brewing with GB Delirium. Mindwrack Demon is a good dude, but I quickly learned how good Declaration In Stone was at ruining my day. I figured Thought-Knot Seer and Reality Smasher were both creatures that could at least give you some resistance vs DiS. I was already running 4...

It always happens though. PVDDR was on twitter asking why Affinity didn't get touched nearly instantly.

I don't see Lodestone Golem being restricted too bad a deal. You still have plenty of lock pieces, just only 1 that is a lock piece AND a beater for 5.

Takeaways from brewing new standard decks: Declaration In Stone amazing, creatures much less so.

Sin Prodder is nice.

Wedges have creature lands and painlands. Don't see how much analysis you can do before we see all the fixing available.

I'm definitely interested in GR Midrange. Some assortment of Oath of Nissa, Leaf Gilder, Den Protector, Deathmist Raptor, Nissa, Arlinn. Maybe even Surrak the Hunt Caller if you aim to be a little more aggressive.

Are we expecting a cycle of mana fixing beyond the new bad guildgates? Some of my newer buddies started with Temples and I think they'll be in a for a rude awakening if the mana gets as bad as I think it will.

Rise from your grave! (Get it? Innistrad? Get it?) Spoiler season underway and who cares if the cards are good, this setting is just the best. Thing in the Ice, Werewolf flip walker and now a new Sorin.

I'll trade taking flip cards in and out of sleeves for the eternity of annoyance that is the 12 fetchland manabase in Standard. Fuck, I switched to Hoogland's BW control deck weeks ago and actually enjoyed playing MtG again. Probably even got higher win % because I can't fuck up my fetching and...

Maybe there's a card in the set that doesn't work unless this was changed? Although I can't think of any reason for it. Huntmaster of the Fells now immune to Abrupt Decay though. And there was much rejoicing?

Watching an entire team fight a bear is some pretty boring dota.

Imp-et-us.

PPD wearing a Make America Great Again hat rofl.

I dunno my match-ups, is PA vs Invoker mid a thing??!? Yeah, Jugg support, 2:15s and he has 0 last hits.

This draft though. MVP going to style on the entire tourney? Jugg / Ogre / LD / Doom / PA

Just 1?

Holy shit, Shots Fired? Now LD in the echo chamber? Revenant Bear attack??!??! Please tell me someone else was watching that sequence.

This panel is killing me rofl. Winter is my new #1.

Can't ever accuse EG of not playing with balls. If they feel they can beat you, they'll go right at your best strat.

Agreed, where are we going to find someone brave enough to open the Shanghai Major with an anectdote about not being able to get any porn through the chinese firewall?

He already had blown shit up with Valve. Why not adjust your behavior? I don't buy his "But everybody knows I'm naughty!" line.

Right now it's all just reddit posts and speculation. I've read that he called Waga 'a bottom bitch', he made a reference to wheelchair porn and apparently didn't obey the production teams direction and wouldn't throw to a "Sorry! BRB" slide. I think it's more likely that behind the scenes...

Now that is some S-tier Esports drama.

No room for Magmatic Insight?

Day 2 of SCG Louisville, 31 of 65 players on Eldrazi of some sort. Yuck.

It's going to happen automatically. The powerful 3 color cards are rotating out along with the fetches that made 4 color the best manabase. So long Crackling Doom, I won't miss ya.

Welp, when I'm wrong, I'm wrong. 50/50 on Lili in SoI?

If they are trying to sell this new angle of the planeswalker's story as the new motivator, doesn't reprinting 1BB Liliana seem off as opposed to creating a new Lili? Thinking about it more, Liliana of the Veil probably isn't too strong a card if CoCo decks are still a thing after Rally...

IP is all WotC creates as a business, of course they have to try and go ham on spoilers. Liliana of the Veil is a busted magic card. Odds of a standard reprint must be like 1% or less.

I worked at a shop for years and agree, GW's business strategy was basically 'be super dicks'. There was some guilt over selling a starter box to some kid and knowing his figures were going to be under the bed in a few weeks, but the ones who got the bug and turned into great painters or the...
