Re: [Speculation] Ban List Update Prediction Thread

I feel companions are a corner case. 8 are being allowed. Meanwhile the 5 myojin, Iname as One , Phage the Untouchable , and Haakon, Stromgald Scourge can't have the rules fixed for them. After all its 8 vs 8 for corner cases. And if we want to talk of restrictions breeding creativity for deckbuildi...

Re: [MCD] Companions are horrible.

https://articles.starcitygames.com/premium/companion-is-the-worst-mechanic-for-the-health-of-magic-since-phyrexian-mana/ Fairly relevant article about companions' impact on other eternal formats. Oddly despite him saying they are fine in commander many of his criticisms apply to commander too. And ...

Re: Ranking the Companions

If Gyruda ends up being banned from Standard, that will probably be the end of Play Design as we know it. They already screwed up really badly with Throne of Eldraine - I am still baffled at how a team of pros managed to fail to detect the obvious power level of Oko, Thief of Crowns and Once Upon a...

Re: Ranking the Companions

Jegantha is obviously the first that needs to go. Its just too strong as a companion. Zirda, I would say is not safe for the format and really gets stronger as more stronger permanents with activated abilities get printed. But should be on the watch list and not banned. Lurrus is problematic but rea...

Re: [THB] Gallia of the Endless Dance

Why look only at Tribal? If Varina, Lich Queen could be played with a non-zombie control card pool, why limit Gallia to Satyrs? Any creature/token based deck could benefit from her 1-for-2 trades. Because Varina is self-sufficient as she can make her own zombie tokens to support her. If Gallia made...

Re: Is there even a way to pilot Superfriends quickly?

If you have played one, basically treat it like one of those worker placement board games. Also in that same area is the CIV games and Economy management video games. At least that is how I view the planeswalkers. As you got all these little workers who each need an action done for them. The more yo...

Re: What would be your reaction to this play?

Definitely: "well played sir".

If the 4th player got wrecked then my vote would be "I wouldn't want to play with that person in the future."

Re: MTG Hot Takes

Hot take: Phyrexians went from the most intimidating and threatening force to the least because of the mending. As unless they somehow build a functioning planar portal or are given one in a post-mending universe, they really can't invade anywhere. So while Mirrodin is very much screwed, no other pl...

Re: MTG Hot Takes

Hot Take: At least the Urza storyline only took 17 sets to tell a whole story, unlike the Nicol Bolas storyline with the planeswalkers which took 39 sets. Hotter Take: Ravnica went from an interesting slavic plane to a boring plane that became more generic everytime we revisited it. Hottest Take: Ve...

Re: [official] How long have you been playing?

I started around 2007 with Lorwyn. I remember staying up late at night, watching some advertisement about the MTG game during Adult Swim when I wasn't supposed to as a kid still in school, and wrote it down on some paper. Mostly because it was so weird. https://youtu.be/CRwsRRMnV0c?list=PLr2fiLN6KDz...

Re: Pioneer Ban List Announcement 12/2/19

Also nice is that they do the updates on a more timely basis. Instead of the once per month clause, previously once per two months.
