    Re: Todd Stevens Accusations

    Well yeah, that falls under the umbrella of pissing someone off.

    I just find it unbelievable, given what the information presented, that SCG was harboring some kind of serial sex predator (who,...

    Re: Todd Stevens Accusations

    Seems like he pissed somebody off given that there a numerous reports of misconduct over a long time, and yet nobody did anything beforehand.

    Moral panics are a great time to settle grudges; just...

    Re: Why don't you play MTGO?

    The parallel collection aspect is a dealbreaker. Having thousands tied up in paper Magic doesn't make me want to spend even more money to play the same game in an online version, no matter how...

    Unban Library, clearly a win-more card, dies to Wasteland, 8 card combo.

    Since you're out to play a chunderbucket going all green could be interesting. Chancellor of the Tangle gives you a beefy threat that can be piper'd in as well as serve as yet another way of...

    Non-blue fair decks always had the problem of bad combo matchups, but could make up for that with good rates against blue decks by being more aggressive or going bigger than them.

    Guy is fucking cooked if he thinks WotC will do anything beyond token gestures.

    Magic broadcasting is about marketing the product; it's not a marketable product itself. The game, while fun to...

    Re: The current state of Magic

    There's plenty of reasons to be angry at WotC; shafting Legacy in a bunch of ways, RtRtR being formulaic shit (they basically stuck RtR in a microwave and called it good), cards looking/feeling like...
  10. Re: [GRN] Guilds of Ravnica & [RNA] Ravnica Allegiance

    It's a shitty Johnny card that costs way too much, asks too much, and does too little. It's one of those cards that excites you for all of a minute before you realize it will never be good , not...

    If we're gonna talk about unfairness and blue let's talk about how many shitty pet decks have been made even shittier as key cards from them get banned so that WotC and people who jerk off to/with...
  13. Re: [GRN] Guilds of Ravnica & [RNA] Ravnica Allegiance

    For better or worse, this set is pretty much shaping up to be RtR v2. It's an incredibly derivative* set with some cool individual cards.

    Definitely shaping up to be one of the better sets in...

    He's one of the few in pro Magic who isn't bland and completely replaceable. He's a character, and that gets viewers and sales.

    Earthcraft in Elves seems weak. Heritage Druid (and Birchlore Rangers) do a much better job of turning your elves into hasty mana dorks while being cheaper, GSZ targets, and not diluting the deck. ...

    Re: Commander 2018 Info and Spoilers

    Is a vanilla 12/12, even at 2CMC, good enough for Legacy build-arounds anymore? No evasion, dies to everything, doesn't impact the board immediately...seems mostly worse than Thing in the Ice, Marit...

    This is pretty much my thought on Legacy being the Turbo Xerox format; why pay $4K to copy your ass for days when you can pay $40 for the experience?

    It's just a weird choice by WotC. Given who they're inviting, they clearly see this as an outreach event to grow the playerbase. But choosing Rochester Draft of 93/94 sets is baffling. I love me...

    With strict art direction, you really can't. More heterogeneous art might be bad for branding or whatever, but it means any given player won't completely hate the look of a set. Even Onslaught...
