    Is this something that's happening in unranked or something? I face a pretty wide variety of decks while mythic laddering. Both Bo3 and Bo1.

    I mean while shitty, that's a ~ 4 percent occurance on a 1 lander in a 20 land deck.

    It's not a horrendous spot and they would have been doing it anyways. They have some good young players and one of the better front offices and player development teams in the league. Not Spurs good at that stuff, but better than most of the league. They won't have to suck for 50 years to...

    I dunno, maybe they felt like they really couldn't do it right now as they are. It's possible some of those draft picks aren't going to all be late picks either. They're spread out over a lot of years. And some teams have done real well with late picks.

    5 firsts, 4 unprotected, and 2 pick swaps. That's a lot of draft capital.

    yeah even you cast removal before t3 and champ on;y draws 2 cards it's totally absurd.

    yeah you'd have to make it pretty shitty, like B1 0/1 tap, lose 1 life add B, and that might honestly bleed into green's shit too much.

    As a thing if you played earlier today before the patch and got 3 wins or did your dailies and whatnot you can't get any xp today.

    Yeah, wasn't intended as a complaint. Was just saying that it's not really just more free shit. You can reasonably mythic ladder for free so it's got a good leg up compared to a lot of other games. Does appear that they've gone the EQ route with their patches though, downtime was supposed to...

    They got rid of the 3 weekly packs to add the Mastery/XP system so for a lot of people it'll be less free shit, not more.

    He's had 1 good season and is still young, but maxing Williams just seems sketchy. Dude is pretty good, but he doesn't create contact for shit and his offense is somewhat limited.

    actually played paper magic today, and played hogaak locally, played bad and still smashed everyone. Shit is absurd. Hi, i'll mill your entire deck on turn 2 through a surgical.

    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.

    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...

    Well, now what?

    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?

    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.

    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...
