The powercreep and new product lines like secret lair could be the new norm. We've had CEO changes in Wizards and Hasbro over the years. The game may have shifted to something closer to yugioh and pokemon. Isn't Magic getting a tv show for kids on netflix? I'm already seeing books about the mtg stor...

There's also the issue of LGS's closing down, which happened to a store near me. This is a bigger threat than format health or prices on cards. I also wonder if we have too many formats right now. Modern is in decline, but is pioneer even drawing in good numbers?

To elaborate some more, I feel that oko decks can apply decent pressure early on. And between the usual 6 counter spells and mystic sanctuary, I think ramp decks can use Veil of Summer as a crutch to pull out some wins. I understand that Oko decks can also use Veil of Summer themselves but I wonder ...

Veil of Summer has been disappointing for me. The card itself can still be countered, making the line of text "your spells can't be countered" pretty useless. I usually sandbag the card in hand until I'm ready to go off with a scapeshift or an ugin the spirit dragon, only to be met with a ...

Is Veil of Summer really that evil? We've had guttural response for years. The only reason you're seeing veil so much is because it's also good against black decks. This card is dead in so many matchups.

I'm okay with them unbanning banned cards. As long as they're not re-banning the same card every 6 months or something. I miss Twin too. But I'm wondering if it's time to bring back Birthing Pod instead.

Blue/White control seemed fine for most of 2018 and 2019. Up until Hogaak and Oko came along. Jund looks bad too right now.

Urza combo is not a problem. It was formerly just a 3 card combo. Yes it was hard to interact with in the late game but it still had weaknesses and bad matchcups. Reddit seems to think Oko is not a problem but I think that is ridiculous. It's not as bad Hogaak or Eye of Ugin. Maybe we can compare it...

Not sure why we think a repeatable +1 beast within is okay. In larger tournaments, 50% of top 32's are Oko decks. It's hard to beat these decks even with stuff like tron and valakut as oko can turn wurmcoils and primevals into 3/3's. The cryptic loop with mystic sanctuary is annoying too. I'm also g...

Modern prices tanked pretty hard. Did everybody move on to pioneer? Even wrenn and six is 50-ish

Why does titanshift play 3x windswept heath instead of say 3x bloodstained mire? It doesn't grab a basic mountain. Are we supposed to use our fetches to grab a basic forest on turn 1? Or do we fetch stomping ground turn 1? We need mountains for active valakut but you also need enough mountains in th...
