    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    At some point tackling a running back before they get a first down would help.

    Not only can Brock apparently not tackle Mahomes on that TD run, he gets the dagger PI.

    Yeah, she's a badass, without doing it in a way that's overly in your face about it or doing it by making everyone else around her incompetent.

    2020 Academy Awards - No Willem Dafoe The Lighthouse nom

    I like the movie a lot and think he was very good in it. I also think that weird doesn't necessarily mean better and think he's done a lot of great work and wouldn't put this at the top of the list.

    I've yet to see any of this crazy ramping and I've played like 60 matches since the set's been released. At least it's not coming up at the upper mythic part of the ladder. I don't really see how it's a thing against any deck with any amount of interaction.

    MLB Hot Stove 2020: Congratulations to the nations capital

    I've said it in this thread already, but if the Sox or Yankees have gone to the extremes the Astros have, they should get hammered too and I'm obviously a Yankees fan. If it turns out 20+ teams were doing this shit to this degree then it could be looked at differently. But the actual degree...

    I mean sure. Low stakes and all that. You could also play 15 7 drops in your draft deck to a similar effect.

    MLB Hot Stove 2020: Congratulations to the nations capital

    Again it's a scale thing. PEDs were widespread. That's well known and proven at this point. Nobody is saying nobody else has done anything with electronics or otherwise steals signs. But building a special camera and getting signs when you have no baserunners at all hardly seems universal.

    I mean in constructed you'll win some games with it even if it's not optimal at all. But he specifically linked a limited set review. You cast that in limited and you'll lose the game a very large percentage of the time.

    MLB Hot Stove 2020: Congratulations to the nations capital

    It's about degrees. If 30 teams are doing X which is a technically illegal thing that's long been accepted in the sport, 25 teams also do Y which is more, but 1 team is doing Z which is much more egregious, then of course they should be looked at differently. If other teams are going to equal...

    It's a limited rating. If you cast it in sealed/draft you end up getting like 3 lands and 2 low drops and your opponent gets a dragon that probably gets to attack you before you even get to play any of the cards or a removal spell that costs them no mana. Good luck winning that game.

    I'm good with this just being one season. I really liked it but there was a real chance for it to go off the rails with Lindelof's history.

    Standard has been the best it's been in a long time since the wave of bannings.

    MLB Hot Stove 2020: Congratulations to the nations capital

    Specifics to what these other teams have been doing matters. There's a difference in scale of how egregious things can be. If a team is using video to learn signs but still relay them through the normal methods with baserunners it's very different than using a camera and then relaying in real...

    1917 (2019)

    Finally watched this. It's really quite good, but falls a bit short of being truly great. First half of the movie was amazing, then it sort of becomes much less so.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    It's not just a time of possession thing, it's a total number of possessions thing. If they play the Chiefs and have to win a fast paced game in the 40s they're probably going to get shit on.

    Morbius (2020)

    I didn't really have a problem with him in the movie. Being an offputting weirdo seemed appropriate for the role. But I agree with the rest of what you're saying.

    His Joker was bad, but Bladerunner was awesome so there's that.

    I mean who'd have thought having long time consuming drives would result in a low scoring game.

    Yeah, I mean I can get behind him not getting a MLB job, but keeping him out of the HoF is just dumb as fuck. Same with some of the roid dudes.

    MLB Hot Stove 2020: Congratulations to the nations capital

    The thing is the punishments can both be unprecidentedly harsh and still too light and a joke at the same time. It just shows how weak the league is when it comes to this kind of stuff.

    Eldrazi Tron was largely invalidated by Oko. I'd expect Tron decks to have a bit more variety now.

    Season 2 had some good moments, but as a whole it was a huge letdown. Season 3 doesn't seem very promising. I'll probably wait and see what people think of it after a couple of episodes before I bother.

    Opal should have been banned years ago. Although I do enjoy the dumb shit with the banning payoff cards instead of ridiculous enablers.

    That's pretty close to what I said, I would have liked to see Twin unbanned though, at this point it would hardly be a problem.
