Re: Standard Meta Discussion

standard is dieing because they keep having the bans. it is broken so no-one play, then they ban everybodys deck and no-one plays. they are killing standard slowly like modern for pioneer and arena. arena is the real money.

Re: [Speculation] Ban List Update Prediction Thread

I'm not saying the general mandate of the banlist needs to change. All I'm saying is that this is the lowest hanging fruit imaginable. I have never seen anyone play Flash in casual, and online it's a tiny minority of lists. When it is used, as you mentioned, it's as a quick tutor-to-play, which most...

Re: [Speculation] Ban List Update Prediction Thread

A Flash ban costs us nothing as casual players. I do not understand those who just want to watch another format suffer, at no benefit to themselves. It's not like the RC is spending energy testing for cEDH or anything. If something else comes up in cEDH and is annoying, it'll be no worse off than it...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Drownyard Temple

The decks that tend to want this (Freyalise, Gitrog) generally have more degenerate things to do, and from what I've seen often gravitate towards those.

Re: Thassa’s Oracle and the Case for Flash

Banning Flag makes the combo more interactive, and will likewise reduce the incentive to wait around with combo in hand. I'm all in favor.

Re: First Official Theros Spoilers: Ashiok, Elspeth and Buy a Box Promo

looks like Xenagos's staff, also, is that Phyrexian oil? original Theros had some hints of Phyrexia, it'd be interesting if with Bolas gone, and the Eldrazi defeated for the time being, the Phyrexians come back to the fore.

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Bituminous Blast

Even with Cascade, 5 mana is far too much for spot removal. I've seen this in a Yidris Cascade-tribal deck, and it's a cool theme card if you want to do something like that.

Re: Proxies in Commander

Although I only use proxies to represent cards I already own in other decks, to spare myself the hassle of swapping cards out between games, I'm decidedly in favor of them. To that end, I'll give my answer to a few of the most common arguments against them. I'm not trying to paraphrase any particula...

Re: Korvold, Fae-Cursed King - Bring me gifts that I can eat!

Interestingly I was watching a stream that had Irencrag Pyromancer in a standard deck that was using extra draw to trigger it. With Mayhem Devil actually being waaay better than I thought it was going to be, winning me some games, there is a case for Irencrag Pyromancer being a shut out for opponen...
