Think he could probably afford the ~40k it would take to get 7 tink bags.

I'm just glad it isn't a pile of +2/+2 creatures that make for a ridiculously aggressive limited format.

It's one of the main mechanics of the set, not sure what you expected.

So we'll be going from fun/bad to just bad/bad. Was kind of hoping she'd be playing the doctor lady, but nope. That would have been the best thing since Denise Richards played a physicist.

Yours was fine.

Pretty sure the default is each player is locked in once the game starts he's supposed to play in.

If 3 people no show we need to reschedule. That's literally the worst shit ever for an auction league.

Yeah autodraft in auction leagues is pretty bad even with the adjusting values, but that's a lot better than just leaving everything default.

Well in that case I'll trade him Stafford and Cameron for Gronk! That's a clear 2 for 1!

Not too late to cancel and take up my trade offer!

Just watched both seasons over the last couple of weeks. I had pretty low expectations and it turned out to be pretty damn good. Tommy is awesome. Looking forward to season 3.

Could start with Noriega. Maybe then it will be hours of watching US Navy guys walking up and down mountains and through the jungle. Along with the increase in mercenaries for the Columbians and a bunch of almost firefights.

Swap you Stafford for Gronk!

Your team sure shit up everyone else at TE though!

Yeah it's the PPR league that pisses me off when people don't show up for the draft.

The Maxx was one of the few Image comics from the 90s that was legitimately good and not just a platform for Cable and Wolverine clones.

There is no chance of this happening.

That was a 14 round tournament with only 4 rounds of Standard.

My goodness.

Turgid.

It's snake right? So autodraft doesn't piss me off. I hate it when fuckers don't show up for auction drafts.

What if Patriots* win, but Brady* and couple of Steelers have season ending injuries?

The Maxx was indeed on Liquid Televsion. As was the beginning of Beavis and Butthead.

Yeah we have no idea how much he really had to do with some of those. Producer and especially executive producer covers a wide range of involvement. This could be terrible news or a mostly non story.

And now you're on their radar.

Swiftspear into Seeker into Stone Rain. On the play that would be pretty gross. A playable LD card, like Fulminator Mage or something would be pretty interesting. Stone Rain brings back some memories. First PTQ I had ever won was U/W counterpost splashing Stone Rains in Ice Age block...

It just seems less out of place. Especially when everything else is a big over the top also.

In fairness to Hayden, the actual dialogue he had was fucking awful and that's not really his fault. Also he could be one of those guys that just needs to do a few takes to nail something, and the whole we'll do 1 or 2 takes and fix shit in post production thing can't help.

Lightning Bolt is a stronger card than Counterspell. As is Thoughtseize. That's the whole point. If you had both Bolt and Counterspell in Standard right now I promise you Bolt would be played far more than Counterspell would.

Adding Counterspell to Standard would not stop everyone from playing creatures. It would obviously see play, but it wouldn't be the best card in Standard and has rarely ever been the actual best card in Standard. How is Counterspell too strong and Thoughtseize or Lightning Bolt not?

Blue has been fine, it just hasn't been traditional counterspell heavy decks.

I think any format with no countermagic can be dangerous since it's one of the main ways to keep degenerate things in check. Unless you mean specifically the card Counterspell this time. If you mean the card then I can understand that idea, though if you put it in a 2nd set it would only be in...

Or maybe there should be more than 1 format so people that like different things can all enjoy the game.

Legacy would literally be a bunch of fast combo decks without counters. How interactive is it when you get to look at your 7 cards and die before you get a turn?

I will always remember winning a lot of Magic matches back in the 90s by Mana Draining something then Mind Twisting their entire hand. Good times. I miss playing those old YMG and Gray Matter 1k events every month or so.

Yeah blue is more about cantrips and velocity in Legacy than countermagic. Force of Will is something that helps keep degenerate combo from being overwhelming though. Ban Brainstorm and see what happens to Legacy. A format of Belcher, Dredge and Storm might be fun for a little while, but I'd...

You do something, then I respond with something. That's pretty much textbook interaction.

Which is why I've been advocating the reprint of Counterspell. Well one of the reasons. I'd just like to see some real control decks in Modern besides the sorta fringe Grixis one.

Counterspells are just about as interactive as you can get since they can't do anything until something is on the stack. And your green spells returning cards to hand works just the same against counterspells as it does against discard.

This is true for permanents but you can't Doom Blade a topdecked Scapeshift.
