Rough not making day two.

Enjoyed the read. I'm looking forward towards your 4cLoam article, as chalice sure kicks some butt these days.

Life isn't always kind and embracing variance one way or another is necessary in this very game. :)

Thank you very much. The article on AggroLoam should be out next Wednesday. It'll include interviews with the deck designer Niklas Kronberger and GP Lille Top8 competitor Christoph Alsheimer.

Good read, definitely looking forward to articles on the different decks you wanted to spotlight.

Thank you very much, Sir.

Yeah I felt that it was pretty important that I start exploring and covering more in Legacy than... well... Miracles, Miracles, Miracles and... hmm Miracles. :)

If you have a very specific topic that you'd like to see covered and think that it might be of good use for the community itself, make sure to let me know.

Haha yeah. I mean, I enjoyed them even as somebody who never plays Miracles - imbibing all the theory and experience still helps me as someone who has to play against it all the time ;). I think in-depth reviews of other decks will help a lot of people in the community though, especially fringe archetypes that are suddenly good like Aggro Loam (very few people are familiar with that deck).

Yeah but still, I have surely lost many potential readers when the title was "Miracle #132"... :D

Yes, that's my goal with the AggroLoam article. This deck needs spotlight! :)

Thanks for a great article and perspective on the metagame.

[Cartesian]

Very fine, and also optimistic article on the state of Legacy.
I agree with your views on Dig Through Time. The card is insane, yes, but is has also opened some new doors in the format (and maybe closed a few, too, for the time being).

[Dosferra]

A good read, thank you. Great to see that not everyone is spouting doom and gloom about the current meta.

[Jonathan Alexander]

I like how you announce roughly 200 upcoming articles. And one thing I've noticed over several articles on mtgmintcard, they really need an editor.
That being said, I realise covering the entire top 16 is a process that can easily fry your brain, and I do appreciate the effort.

Optimism is important! All the other things just destroy our hobby. :)

Thank you very much! Yeah, it's important to also spread some positivity. We've all heard the complaints far too often now. Why ruin our hobby?

Yes, roughly 200. I already have 2015 planned out. :P

Thanks. :)

Thank you very much!

Well done, again! :)

I'll give my best to not disappoint seasoned Storm Masters. :)

Nice article.

I think it would be even better if you went over your matches in the GP in brief form so we can see how your Miracles list did on a matchup by matchup basis, as well.

[Humphrey]

nice article, but id prefer to stay to the real names of the decks and not use grixis, sultai or whatever stupid names wotc tried to shove down our throats and i refuse to learn or use them.

[btm10]

I think you're really improving as a writer (at least in English, sorry that I haven't read anything you've written in German) and that this article was by far your most engaging and interesting.

Those are the real names now. BUG and RUG are the only ones that really flow off the tongue well enough for the old name to stick. Quit being an old stick in the mud. We're playing a game that changes over time and it's dumb to fight that.

no, theyre not. first of all, its much easier to know the colorcombination by just naming the colors it uses. also in the article he uses the actual names of the decks like canadian and team america but in the metabreakdown he uses sultai and shit.

also i never heard anybody using ceta-, raka-, ana-delver, although its even more fluid than the new wedgecrap.
