    It's not, there are lines between what words mean. Just because you like using the phrase 'professional sport' more than 'professional gaming' doesn't change the meaning of the words themselves.

    Competing in video games is much more like competing in something like Poker, if you ask me. Folks don't like it because it warps the meaning of the word "sport". A sport is generally defined as "an...

    I agree. The full border cards honestly look a little lazy, especially with the way they seem to just cut off abruptly at the top.

    DRS ban seems like a bit of a double-edged sword, honestly.
    DRS being gone helps the Loam/pfire strategy quite a bit against the decks that played it (elves, maverick, grix and friends), but now it...

    I personally would be really happy to see a Legacy B/R update like:

    True-Name Nemesis
    Delver of Secrets
    Terminus

    UNBAN:
    Sensei's Divining Top
