Re: Kenrith, the Returned King Anti-Combo Group Hug

Kinda went with an Angel tribal sub theme since flavor wise the deck is based around Jesus which works out pretty well. Also forgot to add a bit more card draw as well which I think I fixed up. The token spam is mainly in here for Skullclamp and Phyrexian Vault though I had a bit of difficulty findi...

Re: MTG, the Corona-Virus Pandemic, and future events.

I predicted this would happen a few pages days back. You guys need to start listening to me about paper magic. It is dead for the foreseeable future. Maybe years down the line if things ever return to some sort of normal we loyal players can resurrect it. But for now, it has no place in our society...

Re: MTG, the Corona-Virus Pandemic, and future events.

And Wizards would see none of those profits for those cards, so what's the point? To price people out of another format which only serves to drive more people away from the game? No, the smart decision is to print the cards so people can actually buy them. Imagine how much money Wizards would have ...

Re: MTG, the Corona-Virus Pandemic, and future events.

COVID-19 may have just forced Wizards of the Coast to expand the Reserve List to encompass the entire Modern format card pool. Why? Because realistically collectors will be the only target demographic that Wizards of the Coast caters Paper Magic toward as players no longer have a place to play at. T...

Re: [Experimental EDH] Kenrith, the Returned King Anti-Combo Group Hug

I feel as though the creature base could use some work. I kinda like the idea of Lazav, Dimir Mastermind though and might try to go with a permanent clone strategy over artifact ramp hate.

Kenrith, the Returned King Anti-Combo Group Hug

The goal is to use Kenrith's abilities to compensate your opponents from not being able to combo off even though what they get in return probably isn't as exciting as what their decks were originally trying to accomplish. I was really aiming to try to offset a lot of feel bad moments compared to how...

Re: What's Your Opinion on Politically Correct / Woke Culture?

The left paints ALL persons not within their group as racists. ESPECIALLY the ones who don't think they are racists. This gives them moral superiority to perform all kinds of rights violations and violence. They aren't really humans after all, they are just racist scum that should be eliminated. Lo...

Re: What's Your Opinion on Politically Correct / Woke Culture?

Even If your Local Game Store (LGS) is making hands over fists of money you still don't want to be excluding certain customers based on ideology. Now If someone is racist, sexist, or a pedophile then that's a whole different story altogether. The left paints ALL persons not within their group as ra...

Re: MTG, the Corona-Virus Pandemic, and future events.

If there is one thing we can count on from WOTC, it's that they will cave to pressure. Konami suspending paper yu gi oh indefinitely is a "woke" position for your company to take. I expect WOTC / Hasbro to follow suit. Though how they are going to justify selling a paper product that cann...

Well on a side note, media has gotten more relaxed on what you can say which means that you have to reflect on what's being said and why it would want to be said in the first place.
