First announcement upon his replacement - Unhinged and Unglued now legal for tournament play.
:O!
The "gentleman's agreement" was the reason why Mystical Tutor decks weren't completely dominating tournaments smaller than GPs. Basically, when the stakes were relatively low, players agreed to not play their ridiculously overpowered, broken, dominating Mystical Tutor decks and instead play worse decks that were more fun or something.
Great Sable Stag was his "ultimate Solution" to Blue and counterspells in Legacy and he called people basically dumb Not to run it.
Modern topic is pretty new. You can find it on the mothership.
He wonders why Control is unplayable in modern but doubts it Could have anything to do with his B&R management that anhilated control and combo. Then he asumed that the fact that nobody plays modern in paper is only because that people are to dumb to create Decks themselves but want "guidance" from pro's aka decklists for netdecking

Got tired of Legacy and you like drafts? Try my Paupercube What?
That's hilarious.
But to be fair, the hoser that would be required to be the "ultimate solution" to blue and counterspells in Legacy would need to be dirt cheap (read: free), uncounterable, fitting into every deck (while also screwing you over if you play blue) and so incredible devestating that they couldn't print it, simply because it would ruin Standard.
Great merciful gods, the best message this year! Finally!
Geile Scheisse!

The first match on google if you search "Tom La Pille" in germany is a website of a anti-baby pill...just sayin.
In response...Hypothek!
Really? When I perform a Google search for "Tom La Pille" (German websites), the first result is the wikipedia entry for "people in the star trek universe"
2nd entry is for the Tour de France.
The seven cardinal sins of Legacy:
1. Discuss the unbanning ofLand TaxEarthcraft.
2. Argue that banning Force of Will would make the format healthier.
3. Play Brainstorm without Fetchlands.
4. Stifle Standstill.
5. Think that Gaea's Blessing will make you Solidarity-proof.
6. Pass priority after playing Infernal Tutor.
7. Fail to playtest against Nourishing Lich (coZ iT wIlL gEt U!).
Not on my computer.
Could have been a coincedence though, I dont have the best Comm./Pop-Up blocker.
Anyway, lmao as I saw it.
In response...Hypothek!

I didn't read much of TLP's articles and utterances, but from what I did read (Gentleman's Agreement, Great Sable Stag, Dredge, Double-Faced cards) it certainly seems that it is a good thing that he is no longer involved in the MtG decision-making process.
The one thing that I feel is one of the worst things ever conceived is the Double-Faced cards (only 2nd to changing the card face in 2003- Imo, the most loathed and, by far, the worst and most gut-sinking decision made in the history of the game). I recall reading that it was Toms' idea and, should that truly be the case, he should have gone more than a year ago.
On the double-faced cards, I'm starting to think that they're just using new templates for each new expansion to mess with the people at Magic Set Editor. I start making a ton of high quality proxies for use at home to test legacy and play casually. In a relatively short time span, we've had the new 4-ability planeswalker for jace 2.0, the colorless template for eldrazi, the phyrexian mana symbol, and now double-faced cards. Compare this to all the older expansions which worked perfectly fine (probably better), and they didn't need new templating tricks. In fact, they even eliminated the few useful things that they had invented, namely Tribal and the gravestone icon for flashback. It's like they're trying to change as much as possible with each new expansion, and for no conceivable reason.

So you know, I'm Glad he is off of magic, but at the same time, also glad he wasn't fired. I have a feeling that he has known for a while he was going to move to DnD so he volunteered to say the 'stupid crap' that wizards needed someone to say so they could have a scapegoat

When your heart won't beat, your eyes go black
There's a light in the tunnel and you can't turn back
Your friends can't save you, your family's gone
You're waiting on your judgment at the foot of the throne
Will you beg for some mercy? Will you cop some pleas?
Will you stand on your own or get down on your knees?
Will your angels release you from where demons dwell?
Will you make it into Heaven or go right back to Hell?
Only time will tell
