Ha, you said niggling...that's gotta come from something racist
EDIT: Scratch all that, wizards just doesn't know dick about testing cards before release. All the cards we're talking about would be fine by themselves or with different card. Wolf Run without Titan...
I strictly play standard right now, and after reading this article I feel more so than ever wizards (hasbro) is just out of touch. Mana leak was never and issue...snapcaster into mana leak/vapor...
That's kinda why land tax isn't that great...yes it's "essentially" an ancestral recall every turn (with restrictions obviously) the problem is your deck is filled with basic lands (probably plains)...
What about the two explorer's vid? I mean, how do you forget and put an extra land in play, then deny it when you're asked about it? I think asking to have a warning downgraded to a caution is pretty...
The cards are nothing special, but I absolutely love the art. I like the direction this set is headed in...
You're probably right
EDIT: Also, Zombie Infestation is going to be legal in standard again. I wanna break this soooo bad.
A lot of the illusions that have been printed have some pretty decent bodies compared to their cost. The only problem is they die once they're targeted. This guy seems like a neat interaction with...
Except you don't. He explicity says they're two different decks, therefore it's a relational predicate. As far as clogging the thread...Oh shit, I ruined another anti-blue thread, if only we had 17...
Again, you're argument is a relation one. It wasn't that the popular deck will do worse it was the popular deck will do worse than the unpopular one, or Wxy. Even with all things being equal there is...
I can get behind this argument better than others. The problem is there is no necessary connection between popularity from a relation standpoint deck x bears R to deck y (In this instance deck x does...
But you can't take win percentages out of context, they serve a purpose. If you'll allow me another toy example. We have a metagame consisting of 3 decks, A, B, C. Deck A has a 0% chance of beating...
Actually, no, he didn't.
EDIT: I guess this isn't obvious enough. His claim is that given two DIFFERENT decks at the SAME event, the less popular or unexpected one will do better. You're seeing it...
Except that's not always true, in fact it seems like it's rarely true. I love how no one touched my toy example from a few pages back. Look at goblins from a few years back. It was proclaimed as a...
Except, that's not your original conclusion at all, I can go back and quote your post if you want me to. Your conclusion is that hate will decrease a deck's win percentage against the field, reletive...
Hardly, you're claiming P conditional R. I've found actual examples of ~R, which means I can safely assume ~Q. I don't know how you're getting this. If every swan I've seen is white, and I propopse...
In addition, the very existence of actual counterfactuals disproves your conclusion...at least according to Karl Popper
EDIT: Karl Popper meaning given P, you can't assume Q in the conditional....
The premise IS necessarily false, since it's not true under all possible modalities. I'm questioning the soundness of your argument because you're operating under false assumptions. Last time I...
Work on your reading comprehension. I am actually denying your specific arguement, I guess just from the wrong angle. Premise 2 is in correct. As previously stated, people hating against the deck...
Though even you admit that a deck can be heavily anticipated and still be the BEST deck. So that's why I don't see that your conclusion necessarily (as in true in all possible modalities) follow from...
So we should stop learning Kripke and Russell because they did better things than you?
EDIT: You got another PM you can make public...
So community collge...neat. I tried to keep this civil, but it looks like that won't happen. Let me know when you grow up and learn real logic instead of just regergitating what you read of...
So because sideboards are dynamic, the popular deck is the worse choice? Can't main deck's be dynamic as well. Popular deck's can't premptively fight hate? Somestime popular decks still do well...
If it has the same win percentage against the field, it shouldn't matter if people are prepared for it or not. Win percentages take into account most forms of hate. How would it change if people...
Can you have decks of the same strength, without being the same deck? As I understand it, all things being equal literally means ALL things being equal...because of this, I don't see how popularity...
