    Limited is the best way to learn creature combat and complex board states. when there's 10 creatures on the board and they all have different keyword abilities and different power/toughness it makes for a lot of calculating.

    I disagree. Only about 5 percent of pools are ridiculous like that and only about 5 or 10 percent are basically unplayable piles. The other 80-90 percent of pools are a puzzle to be solved. The gameplay is different enough from draft that it's interesting in it's own way. Curves aren't...

    Shitty. We had a kid that usually does pretty poorly at my shop's prereleases open up a Quest Beast and 2 Riders in one of his pools and smash everyone. He was so excited, He'd been playing 2-3 events every prerelease weekend since Khans block and he couldn't remember ever going 4-0 before.

    I played a match against a dude in the mythic ladder last night that was running it and I shit on him pretty bad. He was mythic 81 percent, which is the lowest I think I have ever seen lol. So he probably got to mythic then just decided to brew/play whatever he wanted and not worry about if it...

    well the first part of that is awful for mage skillset for damage. the 10 pull should be all about the mages though.

    This is very situational and depends on how fast you're pulling and how large the packs are. if you're pulling very quickly but only pulling small groups of mobs this is almost always going to happen.

    The guy is clearly very educated and very smart. Maybe he's just trying to be entertaining, but it really does feel like a lot of the things he says are to show he's clever vs just putting the information out there. Maybe enough people are so low attention span that this is necessary but i...

    I you'd lose one daily quest all together, and 3 days of 750 gold from the 15 daily wins. If you're just min maxing and not sure you'd max the next pass then 4750 xp is probably worth more than 2750 gold. but honestly just play if you want to play none of that matters all that much.

    Yeah manabases do that, usually peak during a gold block then start to get worse for a bit then the cycle continues. That land is certainly playable, but you may not see quite as greedy of color requirements from future decks. Narset and Bell Haunt in the same deck is pretty wild for example.

    Not sure it's really as good as the checklands but it's certainly a nice boost to evolving wilds/terramorphic expanse which saw at least a small amount of play.

    Ben Stark, Deathsie, legendvd, insanehayne, msigrist, and andrewcuneo all stream very high level limited fairly often. Stark and legendvd in particular generally explain their picks and stuff so that could be really helpful if you're looking for pointers.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    Jokes aside, they won't give up 800, but that record definitely is in jeopardy. Defense obviously isn't particularly good, but not much they can do when the offense just 3 and outs regularly.

    I mean dolphins on the burn it to the ground and accumulate picks plan for a bit now. Wouldn't be shocked if they end up trading the good fitzpatrick for some picks too. On pace to give up 816 points!

    Dolphins doing very well this season. If the goal is being historically bad and getting the first pick in the draft.

    yeah if you're not playing 2 or 3 different cards that make food, that would make it pretty sketchy. 1 shot of ramp then 2 mana to make 1 mana later seems kind of weak. but if you have 10-12 cards in your deck that make food then you can get 2 or 3 mana out of it before you run out.

    I don't think there will likely be a dedicated food deck, but goose will probably see play in some kind of deck that has some incidental food creation.

    Well, standard and limited are where the majority of pack sales comes from so that's an obvious answer why. I mean they do masters sets and all that shit too, but even with the real high pack prices, that has to be a drop in the bucket overall.

    Someone will pick him up. He's too good of a player and some coach/GM will think they can handle him and make it work. Will probably be a disaster.
