    People like to trash on Affleck, but he wasn't the problem with any of those movies.

    Yeah I played bant golos myself ended up 8-2 and played that mono black deck 3 times and went 1-2 against it. That isn't a very good matchup at all.

    1984 or Neuromancer? Where are we headed?

    Why not Thundarr?!?!?

    I agree. He did a good job overall and the series ended about as satisfactorily as you're likely to get under the circumstances.

    That's true in general, but he's been on record saying he had a hard time writing Mat specifically.

    Field decks need a buff, they should reprint Primeval Titan.

    It's how it works. Scapeshift did a very similar thing as well.

    He's lumping the ramp decks in with control, when they're really not. but yeah. Also, obviously you can get paired upwards otherwise how would your opponent's get paired against you. It gets real wild in limited since there's a lot less players and at some records like 5-0 etc you can end up...

    It's everywhere in mythic ranked. Most people do it base bant with a some real minor splashes.

    The problem with this is Ego is trash against most decks so you're talking about sideboard? and it doesn't do anything about a field already in play.

    Probably some kind of bantish golos/field deck.

    Sanderson Mat was terrible.

    I mean that's almost always how it works early in a format. That said, it runs a lot of actually powerful cards so it'll probably be a "real" deck the whole time.

    R/G aggro has been real good, may not still be good once everything else gets optimized, but it's doing work right now.

    Interesting. He sells boxes at cost because he makes money from other revenue streams, that's kind of cool. Nobody really makes money on boxes, mark up is dogshit even if you sell them for 110 or whatever from a retail standpoint.

    80 per box? wholesale direct for stores is like 78 dollars.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    I think the whole tanking thing is pretty silly, since so many other things have to go right and that draft position in a sport with 22 starters and a million rotation dudes on their rosters isn't what it is in basketball. That said, burning it down and trading players for draft capital isn't...

    Also, I miss the old Sealed dailies on MTGO. 3-1 would get you 6 packs so you could just roll into the next one for 2 tickets which hopefully you got more than from your pool. if you 4-0 it was more packs.

    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.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    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.
