The "cultural consultants" you've hired will never stop finding things that are problematic. It's literally what you pay them to do.

I don’t get why they do it. The redditors will do that job for free!

So those four 6-card scene boxes releasing in Nov? They are brand new cards. So that's interesting.

Apparently Amazon already mailed some out. Oops.

Split finals for the first prerelease of the weekend, Black White is fun as heck. So many fiddly interactions and moving parts but they all do things baseline so even when it fails to rube Goldberg it's still stabbing folks in the face. The 2/2 for 1W who hands out a Sorcerer Role every round is nuts.

My box was absolute trash. Built a G/W, went 2-1 but many of the games were way too close. Never even drew half of my removal of either of my big creatures.

A U/B fairies deck just farmed me with how fucking bonkers faeries synergies are. A U 3/3 flier? A 1/3 that loots and +1/+1s when any of your faeries attack? A 1/3 flying life linker when you have another faerie? Yeah, nothing I can do about that.

Won the second prerelease because last round opponent didn't want to draw and split. Black just has a crazy density of good cards. My second event's sealed pool had two Gumdrop Poisoner and multiple raise dead effects so I just farmed medium sized creatures all day today.

It really does. I know he's more known for EDH, but I will always remember him from back when I was playing PTs. He was a good dude and very formative to the direction of competitive Magic.

Yeah, was always kind of funny when the CEDH people would go off on "this man has no idea how competitive magic the gathering works!"

Got the itch to play again when the LOTR set came out, was disappointed to learn it was not standard legal. WOE seems fun so far, adventure mechanic is pretty fun but not a giant fan of the theme overall.

Play for me is fully casual, no net decking or anything. Came up with this, and have had ok luck with it so far yesterday evening and this AM.

Truthfully never heard a cedh person say anything about him lol, always the casuals ranting about this not being banned or calling for a ban.

$14k Unlimited starter deck was a repack. Opps. Lazy ass repack too, they put some Revised lands in. Starts at about 1:30:00 for anyone super bored and up at 4am like myself. Not exactly a spoiler - every Uncommon and Rare were ass.

Ouch, not sure how he didn't know right after opening. Re-seal was done very poorly, and look at the condition of the cards from side view. Used/dirty card edges of different colors, not a fan of clean bright white cards.

Interested to see what he comes back with, if he gets refunded, etc.
