Yeah, Grey moment, was thinking of the SDCC type thing, which these aren't. Think there's a disconnect here, he's talking about War of the Spark boxes not Modern Horizons or whatever. Retailers get the boxes for normal box prices, they're just limited in overall supply and foreign boxes are...

It's not nearly as bad as it was with Dominaria. That format had so many draw spells and historic loops. So many turn 1 or 2 wins.

I'm sure there are people that would be. Again it's pretty niche though.

4 Jugglers is wild

Most retailers can get ~ 3 boxes of Japanese a week or so in the States direct, so they're not super rare, but they aren't common either and it's a real niche market. Russian and Korean are in smaller supplies and tend to be worth more than Japanese, but Japanese cards tend to price ahead of...

A lot of them looked ok when the model was static, but virtually every Luclin model had worse animations than the older models. I never understood how that could happen nearly completely across the board like that. 1 or 2 models sure, but almost all of them?

This season has been kind of cool. It's not funny the way the first few seasons were, but it's been entertaining.

Lena Headey will forever be Sarah Connor and not Cersei in my heart.

No idea. Wouldn't be surprised if he did and that he had no real proof. Also wouldn't be surprised if Aikman is actually gay either.

Those 2 were actual reporters at one point. Then they realized that being sensationalist shitheads and spouting verbal diarrhea makes for ratings and multimillion dollar cable contracts.

I mean RG will obviously be a thing with this set, but after rotation will definitely be interesting to see what happens. People always complain about rotation, but I've always liked it because it's a much bigger shakeup than just adding a set.

Yeah there will definitely be a lot of limited games won with that guy for sure.

You don't get the attack triggers doing that.

Power level of magic sets has been in roughly the same range for pretty much the history of the game. It's just been focused on midrange permanents and expensive powerful spells when in the early days of magic it was focused on cheap things. The exceptions are when they fuck up a mechanic...

playing a full 12 shocks and still having to have basics or gates or whatever is definitely a huge cost to 3 color decks in block.

Seems like she'd be the narrator and not the main character? Moraine could be the main character for Eye for most of it I guess, but that's a stretch.

If you mean Origins then yeah, that movie is a giant turd. The Wolverine while not particularly good is a masterpiece compared to many of the mutant movies.

Yeah, that's probably it. Those things are mostly trash for 6 mana walkers.

pooper only

Hell yeah.

8 mana is a lot, but i'm sure i'll die to it an awful lot in limited

For this card to be a thing, it likely will need a tribal home that really wants a 1 drop. By itself it's pretty marginal at best.

Why win in turn 6 when you can win on turn 36?

Can probably still do 2 color decks and it's not like Scrylands will be the only fixing.

Well 2 color decks should be pretty easy, but 3 color decks should have a real cost to their manabase. 4-5 color decks should be very rare in Standard.

My issue with Theros Standard was that the devotion decks were largely the same with Theros as they were later on. Also I generally liked Scrylands, 3 color mana bases should come at a cost, even if it's just 8+ of your lands always coming into play tapped. I also rather enjoyed the 1 Elixir...

Scrylands back in m20. I feel like there being a cost to playing 3 color manabases in Standard is good and that having mana as good as it is now should be rare and centered around gold card centric blocks like Ravnica.

wat

Core sets are the same size as large expansions. There's plenty of limited cards and trash in every set. What you don't get in core sets nearly as much is linear mechanics like blocks get.

I did 5 on Phinny, I'm sure I'll do at least 1 probably more here.

Well the core sets back then were absurdly powerful. But in general, they were getting used as ways of controlling standard/extended by reprinting whatever they didnt necessarily want in the blocks. In 2009 they started adding new cards to core sets with M10 and that's been how it's gone since...

That hasn't been true in a long time. Or ever really.

I mean you get a free one every 4 days for gold, then you should be earning some amount of gems.

Watching people do the counters event with shitty merfolk decks is quite something. U/G is fine, but you need to just play good individual cards and not all those shitass merfolk. Druid and Biogenic Ooze are wild.

He's also an excellent defensive player. That certainly matters. Look nobody is saying that he's going to ever be the best player in the league or something, but he does some things real well.

Yeah, his shooting has been bad. He does a lot of other things really well though so I think he's a worthy project as a skillset. But his dad is ridiculous.

Lonzo is a pretty good player, but he comes with an awful lot of baggage. His dad is wild.

If they could convince someone like Harris to take 20m instead of a near max contract that he might end up getting from some bad team, they could also go after like danny green and reddick both and get a lot of shooting. But that's a lot of ifs and maybes and seems like you'd need a real gm to...

Lakers really need to hit on Kemba or Butler, and hope they can get some cheap shooters. If they can get Kemba, and get like Reddick and some other dudes on exemptions/minimum type contracts they could be real good, but they've been kind of a hot mess so not sure how likely any of that is.

People want to make it seem like without Durant that Golden State is the same team that went 73-9 the season before he got there. But it's not true at all. Their bench/depth is nothing like it was then and if you think Iggy and Green are as good as they were 3-4 years ago you're crazy. That...
