Re: Sheldon's throwaway comment about banning wheels

Will you look at that, yet another awful take. WotC should really have taken the reins of their most popular format rather than hand it to the guy who evidently doesn't care about it outside of his own playgroup. You must be joking. If you think we're being squeezed by wotc for product now, imagine...

Re: Sheldon's throwaway comment about banning wheels

If anything needs a ban (and I don't really think anything does), Hullbreacher should be it. Full stop. Were Notion Thief and Narset, Parter of Veils format bogeymen before this? It doesn't seem like it. Yeah, they sometimes create feel-bad situations, but so do lots of cards. Everyone has their own...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

As I play both Commander and modern as my main magic passions, this set really speaks to me. There is of course some chaff I personally don't care for but I'm honestly wondering if i should buy a box or just eBay for all the commons unsummons and direct buy my rares as per usual. Sometimes visceral...

"Damn you", and "Damn it all" are turns of phrase that will become much more frequent in my playgroup.

Re: Favorite Deaths

Was playing with my old Angus Mackenzie controlled chaos deck, which ran stuff like Aluren , Dream Halls and Teferi's Puzzle Box . Can't remember what the other two decks were, but I was sitting across from a Doomsday Grenzo build. We were heading into the end game and the Grenzo player decided to g...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

It's just a card game guys. You don't have to take it so seriously. It's a card game where the goal is to kill your opponent in any number of horrific ways. Whether electrocuting, immolating, mauling with any number of a variety of horrors, slowly bleeding them to death, chipping away at their sani...

Grismold, the Dreadsower must be a Witherbloom alum, because that deck is getting sooooo many killer toys in this set. Can't wait. Might be time to finally post a list here, too.

Ok, we really need to talk about Wandering Archaic . This card is nuts. I want to point out that you can essentially "cycle" this for 3 . This is good for decks that can cheat it into play. For 5 at colorless this card has INSANE applications and I can see it getting slotted into lots of ...

Re: Recent Game Knights Episode (spoilers) and Commander Play Styles

Question: is it more Cassius's personality that irks people or is it the gun-to-the-knife-fight issue? I only ask because I'm pretty sure Jesper Ejsing has brought multiple CEDH piles to Game Knights (or maybe Extra Turns?) and I don't recall there being this level of annoyance over it.

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

Knowing Wizards stance of "we don't test for eternal formats, lol!" There is bound to be a cheap permanent with magecraft - target opponent loses 1 life/deal 1 damage to any target/target player mills 1. Fingers crossed, but their track record doesn't give me a lot of confidence.
