    Some new stuff at the BK here in Switzerland, not sure if you American folks have had this for a while, I would imagine so. Bacon Lover Burger and Bacon Lover fries, pics here. Burger was kinda disappointing, the bacon wasnt great and the bun was not as good as a normal Whopper bun. The...

    Just after writing that post shitting on our goalies, and Mike Smith goes and gets a shutout. They proved me wrong in the regular season, here's hoping they can in the playoffs too.

    I can still remember the one and only cup win we had back in ´89, I was just a young lad of nine years and it was the best thing that had happened to me at that point in my young life. I was a doubter at the start of the year, but the Flames have won me over throughout the year, I am believeing...

    Yeah but you never lose any rank progress in bronze I thought? Or did they change this? The way it was before, even a 1% win rate would get you out of bronze eventually.

    Anyone here use the BK app? Wondering how often the coupons cycle for you other folks. Takes forever here and I'm getting sick of the double Steakhouse combo.

    I^m pretty sure LSV went 3-3 in draft and 8-0 in limited. Not trying to shit on your point, you're right about the draft being huge. Also an interesting note, LSV didn't run a single RNA card in his standard deck, I wonder if Izzet drakes is that good or if it was just well positioned against...

    At the same time, in Champions League history home teams that draw the first game 0-0 in a 2 leg knockout round have only advanced 10 of 31 times. The 0-0 isn´t the worst result ever, but going and getting a result in Munich won´t be easy.

    I really enjoyed Edinburgh my last time through the U.K. The castle is literally right in the middle of the city and the views of and from the castle are pretty great. There is also a whiskey tasting that you can go on near the castle that I remember enjoying. The parliament buildings were worth...

    In a similar vein, if you put like "4x Rekindling Phoenix" into the search bar and you only have two, it will create the other two from your wildcards without a confirmation box. Found that one out the hard way.

    MLB Hot Stove 2019

    Took a look myself, he has 56% of his home runs at home, which isn´t that crazy but as you mentioned his OPS is a pretty big difference. He also hit .348 at home and .278 on the road, also a pretty big difference. In his defence though, he had teammates and none of them managed to hit .350ish...

    Got a link to a site I could see the home/away stats on? I checked a couple but it wasn't obvious and I would be interested to see those numbers. Thin air or not he hit .379 one year and the year he was home run king he also hit .366, man knew how to swing a bat. Tony Gwynn was also in his prime...

    I'm gonna go for Larry Walker for most fucked over guy on that list. He won 3 batting titles, was home run king once, led the national league in assists 3 times, has a lifetime .313 average and hit almost 400 home runs. I'll admit to a bit of bias being Canadian myself too, but the guy should be in.

    Well, I was pretty pesimistic it would appear, Flames look to be the real deal this year. Johnny Hockey is 2nd in the league in scoring, we have four of the top 15 in the league in scoring as well. Giordano is the second highest scoring D-man in the league and the rest of the D men have been...

    Yeah, precisely why I said I could be wrong. Magic cards are really hard to evaluate in a vacuum, it's all the interactions and synergies that really make a card shine, or not. I've gone into sets thinking wow this card has to be really strong and it's either too slow or too hard to setup or...

    Tap lands are still tap lands. It's going to take more than just this board clear to make the tempo loss worth playing a lot of gates. I could be wrong, but I doubt there will be a competitive standard deck that uses a lot of gates.

    You also only got 1 of each mythic, 2 of each rare, 3 of each uncommon and only for commons did you get a playset. As mentioned, many cards were left out due to complexity/coding issues. It wasn't real full deal Magic. No drafting, you could buy packs but once you got the cards for the set that...

    I am really enjoying the new stuff. Hadn't played in over a year as well so I don't agree that it's too confusing and convoluted.

    Hard to get too excited when we still finish fourth in the group, game didn't mean anything for either team really. However, I will take it! The best part is really the 3 million that we get as a bonus for winning a game in the CL. Also nice to see Ronaldo cry and whine after losing.

    I run a White Black controllish deck too, although my list is quite a bit different from yours, more traditional control. And don't you get land screwed an awful lot with only 20 lands in your deck? Anyways, heres my list, maybe youll get an idea or two. 2 Cast Down (DAR) 81 4 Vraska's Contempt...

    Someone had asked about Ixalan limited in the thread and I responded that the sets rotate and it would come. Well apparently, they did not add Ixalan to the rotation because it was the least liked set for limited. This has now changed and they will be adding Ixalan to the rotation again, ETA is...

    The deck matching is only for the BO1 ladder. In the competitive queues you get placed against people with same/similar win loss record, deck strength is not considered.

    Ive been playing this super janky deck with a bunch of guild gates, guild summit and an equipment that gives vigilance and menace and +1/+0 for each guild gate I have in play. Poop out tokens with Dawn of Hope and suit up and send them in. The deck is terrible and gets run over 50% of the time...

    Had the bacon variant of this today, was pretty good. Not 100% sure how I feel tastewise about Raclette cheese in a burger, but it is for sure higher quality than the standard McDonalds cheese. The bun is some kind of artisan bread thing, was perhaps the best part of the burger.

    The sets available to do draft/sealed rotate between the current standard sets every week (I think? Might be two weeks). So if Ixalan is currently unavailable just wait a bit and it will come up soon. Edit: Also dinosaurs is a good investment right now. Gruul (Green/Red) will be a guild in the...

    Since all sets have some bomb rares that are desirable for decks I would suggest starting with the sets that contain the good dual lands. GRN for the shock lands, Ixalan and Dominaria for the check lands. M19 would probably be the one set I would avoid, but it´s not awful either. I recommend...
