Ravnica Standard formats are the only time I like Standard.

I'm hoping that whatever Arena Extended (Contemporary?) or whatever they call the next format ends up being a good format after Return to Return to Ravnica rotates out, but right now I'm not seeing what's going to stop it from becoming >50% Mono Red decks.

Same. I know it can get ridiculous but I always enjoy when you can build crazy multi-color decks. Mono-red, mono-black, etc. bores the fuck out of me.

Non-white supremacy strikes again?!

Been playing since Alpha. Havent played mtg seriously in a decade. Played a pair of drafts Friday and cleaned up easily. Could use some suggestions.
I just pulled a pair of hydriod krasis in a pack. I have a bunch of ideas for a deck built around them but would like to hear some suggestions on how to play them effectively and efficiently.

Was thinking of using View attachment 204264

for pumping. Not a bad combo.
Amazing value! 3 mana and the turn after you can pump something with one +1/+1 counter if it survives combat. You could have a 3/3 Hydroid Krasus, that's insane.

Sarcasm aside, you want to cast the Krasus for more mana to draw more cards, not add counters to it after.

Reread the text. It doubles each type of counter. So 6/6 becomes 12/12, etc. Check the rule listing if your not sure. Dork.

Yeah, big card draw in a green deck is powwa.

Fuck. So it's a 4/4 instead? Amazing!

My fiancé threw some cash for two playmates into Seb McKinnons Kickstarter and was getting me a Growth Spiral mat. I didn’t realize until today when he showed me the final offerings of artwork that there was also a sterling grove and an eidolon of blossoms mat and fuck do I want all three, but the Kickstarter closed. Now I can’t decide which art to get.

Owen Turtenwald silently removed from MPL, being replaced by current mythic point lead Autumn Burchett. He's also deleted all of his social media, pending legal action. MTG Reddit is automatically filtering any post with his name.

Life would be so easy as a tranny in todays culture if it wasnt for their life ending self sabotaging mental illness.

Lets not talk about Trannys in this thread because it runs the chance of summoning "it" to derail.

Oof, Yuya DQ'd for having all 12 of his Tron Sleeves marked with a consistent pattern of three different marks (for the three different types of land). Kinda makes it real hard to argue that's not intentional. Makes that funny clip from earlier today of him trying to protect his tron lands from land destruction by covering them with his arms age pretty badly.

I have no idea how they still let shit like arm covering happen.

For tournament play there should be zones that cards must be played in. It is just such an easily avoidable problem. Nobody gives a fuck if you claim your autism is triggered if you play enchantments under your lands or vice versa.

Also, I just read about this Owen Turtenwald stuff. Anyone got juicy details or is this more overreaction started by the Redditors that made its way to the top?

All pros are cheaters some are just better than others. The game has too much variance for a pro to consistently do well with out cheating.

Owen Turtenwald made the mistake of rejecting a known MTG Thot named Mary Louke who's claim to fame is fucking multiple pros and posting on Twitter.

She tanked his career saying he was gross to her at a party one time but it turns out he just rejected her after the fact.

And you have evidence to back any of this shit up?

Yeah I have as much evidence as wotc had when they kicked him off.

There is a reason Owen got Lawyer last week it's going to be an easy Payday settlement for him.

I've got no dog in this fight, but as multiple people in our current government has proved, lawyering up has zero to do with being actually innocent of the charges. I mean, what are the chances that a mtg pro has more money than a random groupie and thus being in good shape to utilize a SLAPP lawsuit.
