    MTG: Arena

    I thought people were being silly about the matching based on deck archetype, but today it really seemed to be the truth. Every Esper was against Red, or a mirror(6 mirrors and 5 red). I switched to amass/bolas and then all swarm of green/X decks (sample size of 5). I switched to Golgari and...

    Civilization VI

    Not always true, Civ 4 was massively better than Civ 3 and the addons - Warlords and Beyond the Sword were spectacular...I consider them to be the peak of Civ.

    Teferi can be used as a win condition. Use a teferi to bounce itself into your deck. Repeat, while banishing a permanent every turn.

    It does piss me off that we are now forced to fight a million red decks, or white weenie...Forcing the meta by removing a counter to creature decks is so bleh.

    MTG: Arena

    I find this banning to be a poor reaction. It removes an archetype and limits options. The deck was simple to counter, but forced a certain type of play. This was not a good move.

    I'm enjoying destroying people with it when the meta shifts to anti-red. The grind through diamond is tedious as fuck.

    StarCityGames.com - Display Deck That deck has come in top 8s for the last few weeks. It has 8 rares in it and I'm not convinced you can't substitute for them. There are other WW variants that also do well...especially against the mono-red meta.

    Considering one of the best decks is mono-red and contains almost no special/rare cards...I feel your argument is flawed.

    He has no one to blame except himself. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that streaming is just as much about building relationships as it is about technical play (probably even more-so).

    Artifact - The DOTA Card Game

    Valve really dropped the ball on this one. Timing was terrible and the release optics just wrecked any chance of the game taking off. I really liked the game, but I simply like MTG more...They needed to look at a release calendar.

    MTGA draft is a bit stale and weird as compared to live draft with actual people. I can't wait until they add a real live draft...The computer draft is just meh.
