It's a brand new world in the first week post-bans:

Not happening BUT, some years ago, right before MTGA became a thing, there was a discussion making some headways about the possibility of giving players a way to 'define a format' in MTGO and being...
First Eldrazi winter now, <insert-random-crossover-theme> summer.
But are they? Is Legacy's historical norm a metagame change with every other release?
Mind you, I'm looking at things from the prism of MTGO where you do have easy access to the latest deck and...
I think they have when they flogged off the platform for legacy , modern etc and kept the one for standard & digital formats.
Well, I would like less extreme and frequent shifts in meta but, for every one like me, there's ten others shouting in reddit and twitter about the need to 'freshen' up the metagame and so on. They...
True. I totally forgot they 'curated' the results the publish.
I can never understand these things but on mtggoldfish, the meta percentage is around 20%, presumably because it's twisted by so many top finishes?
I just realized how quaint that poll at the top is. To think that 24% at some point considered the oyf to be a bannable threat really speaks volumes about how far the metagame travelled. The oyf is...
At best it's an attempt at making eternal formats a sort of rotating format, where the latest bomb drives purchases that would otherwise not exist. In short, instead of only pitching cards to...
Not sure it's just 3 loud guys but, what's pretty obvious, there is no agreement on what the problem is, neither on how to solve it. Which is usually the case when something is changing a lot but...
This article below is quite interesting. Starts with a trip down memory lane to old (and now banned) past-glories and then takes us through the latest tournament and results (Cue in all monkey-is-ok...
This. Leagues are a mixed bag, if you try enough of them with any viable deck, you will get a 5-0, quite a few 4-1 and a crap-load of 3-2s, just based on the games you go against random junk someone...
There was a rather cryptic article blurb on MTGO traders that said Legacy events were not firing? Of course, the article actually mentioned zero about that (click bait at its best?)
No right / wrong answers here. For ex, for 'kill x creatures' quests I have a deck 100% composed of removal, so I just enter whatever mode gives me a meta with great likelihood of creatures being in...
It's not an 'easy mode' thing, it's about in-game objectives. If you are a F2P player and have limited time, you cannot waste time with side-tracking. If you need to 'attack with 45 creatures' in...
One of the issues is that there's no penalty for dropping a game. For ex, if you use brawl for your quests and need to win, you can drop all bad match-ups without penalty.
They cannot, they have to keep printing loads of stuff, some of it pretty preposterous (to generate 'hype' = generating sales). This 'forever war' style continuous release schedule is here to stay,...
That's pretty much pauper since day one. It was always 2-3 decks making up +80% of the field and the rest an assorted collection of misfits. After bannings the format opened-up but quickly came back...
I actually think they just want to be 'turn my creatures sideways, now your turn your creatures sideways'. But hey, they listen to the 'format experts' whose articles preached for years that delver...
The way they are dealing with pauper is just another example of how little they think (or not) before acting. Over these past year they tried their best to kill delver decks, there was plenty of...

Punxsutawney Phil came out and said snow will continue to fall.
Yup, same for the challenge of the 7th:

Even astrolabe, only at 25%...
Interestingly, with the companions going, the %...
They also nuked my standard and historic decks. Personal grumble time, after pod, twin, eldrazi, drs, breach, pauper post / faeries / drake, now this. I'll start posting my decks so that you guys...
Gotcha. I still think they will ban them in everything other than standard.
