So have you hopped on board the strategy of just never passing nonbasic lands ever?

I'm inclined to think the video is fake because that's the age we live in but there were printing/sorting discrepancies all the time in the long long ago. I've been very happy with Rakshasa's Secret every draft I've had it and it's a card that I'm still seeing at 12th pick.

I think you guys should just petition Blizzard to ban aggro strategies from ladder.

Jyhad is pretty shit 1v1 but its multiplayer is top shelf. I know probably a dozen people that still really like that game and have their cards.

Alright, I retract my previous statements and position and am now 100% fine with his removal. Let the rebuilding begin.

Man, I really liked On The Edge. I started during that glorious Fallen Empires, Homelands, 4th Edition era. It truly was a Golden Age. After the release of Homelands it was nine months until another set was released. That set was Alliances. It had three rares that were on the rare sheet six...

I don't see how that's relevant. it has already established that there's nothing gay about fingering another dude's anus.

Maybe if you let me finger your asshole for a while it would help convince me of your position.

Mist, Talk about Embodiment of Spring. The initial and now overall consensus at the store I play at is that the card is unplayable. The few times I've had him I thought he was just fine but I'm vulnerable to peer pressure.

Didn't they give extra time both last season and the season before?

Unless Regi has plans to just import a ready made team of Korean or Chinese pros and slap the TSM brand on them I don't see how a new roster is going to break the grip that Korea and China have on the game. We didn't even have a European team make it out of pools this year. Would you have...

Tell me all about how you want to win worlds.

Fire everyone you can if you are the school, sue everyone you can if you are the victims, charge everyone you can if you are the police. I've got absolutely zero tolerance for sexual assaults and bullying masquerading under some absurd "boys will be boys" hazing ritual.

I just don't see anything wrong with a 5th-8th place showing at Worlds and a 75k cash award. You put in a season with Amazing, you made it past pools at Worlds, stick with it. There's nothing wrong enough that warrants taking the time to rebuild the team. Would you rather practice more with...

It was my fault for not having the stream muted.

Sure. Not that Oiso didn't deserve a warning. He deserved a warning 100%. He played a second land for the turn and that land was very relevant to the board state. It's just that if I was the judge and I was standing there the opinion of the other player is both unsolicited and unwanted. Do not...

I think campaigning for your opponent to get a warning should be considered unsportsmanlike and be a warnable offense.

If you've got the kind of store where everyone is a temporarily embarrassed professional player it'll be overrepresented, they'll get murdered by silly aggro derps (because it's a FNM, there's always derps with aggro), and be salty about it the rest of the night. This U/B archetype is very, very...

So many U/B players are going to getmurderedat their FNMs.

I already mute most tournament commentaries for most games, this one included.

We are going to come out of this event with a meta that includes some very decent control options and midrangey-tons-o-planeswalkers Mardu variants pushing the ramp oriented Devotion strategies down. Time to play face derp aggro. Gotta keep those B/U decks honest.

She did a good job as The Bowler.

I don't have a heart of fire so my perception is skewed but I don't think that coming in 5th-8th at Worlds and getting a 75k cash award is something to be all that ashamed of or a reason to change around the roster. I feel that way from the perspective of Amazing and Reginald both.

Carried too hard at low Elo, ate a bunch of nerfs, got hit hard by the changes to Lizard Elder, that kind of thing.

There's a graphic novel sequel coming out at some point.

Was having a good time until Stan passed out. Then I was having agreattime.

The movie ends better so maybe. They are still both very good.

Finally, the change I've been waiting for to play support Gangplank.

Playing the characters that have the best ratio of hard to fuck up versus power has been my strategy for years.

Which I think is a much more reasonable design goal. The jungle role by its nature is more likely than other lanes to be dominated by a very small subset of champions. In a lane you are right up against your opponent and the unique abilities of each character have a huge impact on how that lane...

Yeah, that's her. I said this before but her handle was Riot_Damiya or Damiya or whatever.

boo double post booo

The tanky junglers are usually the ones who get chewed up on their first few clears. If it gets harder they'll see even less play.

Making the camps themselves very different is a good direction to go. You could have different camps being stronger or weaker versus certain things and lead to decision making regarding routes. If you combine that with camps having additional effects related to clearing them with Smite it could...

I wonder if anyone at Riot remembers that they made the jungle easier in prior seasons with the exact same goal - to promote diversity.

After coming back to the game it didn't take me all that long to decide I wasn't interested in backdrafting. The only person so far I've seen that was pushing for it was also The Shark that likely had the best chance of getting first picks (and he knew it). I like my casual derping just fine as...

10/11 and the one I got wrong I juked myself by not wanting to select the same answer four times in a row.

Has everyone been able to get their hands on enough product given the drought?

None of the people I am playing with seem to value green all that highly and I keep getting handed cards like Awaken the Bear and Savage Punch way later than makes sense. I really shouldn't even be trying to draft anything else until that changes. I should just sit down intending to force green...

Hey, I'd pass him because I'm a filthy casual that wants to play green and punch bears. Mist would take the dollars which I can also respect. I just think that passing excellent win conditions is a shit idea and passing them to go into heavily contested colors (which you just told the guy to the...
