Not sure why, but I haven't been able to acces this site for a while, but it's working now apparently. I know I missed all the talk about the last ban, but since I missed it, I'd just like to add for the record that it's a %$#% %$#%$#% ban and I'm really pissed about it. Seriously %$#% that ban ann...

100% Its why I still believe Search for Azcanta is the best card they have printed from a design perspective in quite literally years. 1. It does NOTHING the turn it comes down. You get no instant value. 2. Its effect is slow if played in the 2nd turn, you get to look at one card, and smooth your d...

Is The Elderspell really so bad that no one talks about it? If your meta is saturated with planeswalkers (even that forces you to play at sorcery speed).
Use this.

Friends list has nothing to do with it. Adding a feature is a question of prioritizing, it is not as if an engineer can just add friends list as a side project. It VERY much shows how they prioritise their time not having a %$#% friends list in an online multiplayer game. That stuff needs to be in ...

If Wizards brings Modern to Arena, I will happily reverse my forecast. But unless/until that happens, this format is looking like a sinking ship. It's never coming to Arena. Look how long it took them to even implement %$#% friends lists in an online game. It's insane. And I don't want to now how o...

I think they're going to hit a good sweet spot now. I'm excited for it for sure!

Oh boy, people talking about Plague Engineer makes me remember how many cards I wanted to buy this year, but haven't had money for :( damn I think Plague Engineer is pretty balanced. 3 mana is a big commitment in Modern and dies very easily with 2 toughness. Strong but balanced. Also, I tend to disa...

If I remember right, Humans are the answer to ETron are they not, and UW beats up on all Tron? E-Tron certainly became a better deck than back then. It took Blast Zone as a 2-off that's great vs Humans and also Karn, The Great Creator who can search up Ensnaring Bridge from the sideboard(also Torpo...

I'm enjoying the Card Market stream right now. Good games and good commentary. It's some good %$#% and it makes me want to play some modern right now, but it's late lol.

What are your thoughts on Cavalier of Gales . Could be a good mid/late game play if you're stuck with some cards you in hand you want to use for a Yuriko trigger. 5cmc is also a nice hit from the trigger itself and it's a 5/5 flyer that you don't have to worry about dying. Probably too expensive and...

I don't care how much money people have put into their collection, that doesn't change the fact that people need to stop being so %$#% argumentative. It's awesome with in depth replies, but everybody just %$#% chill a bit. I frequent guitar forums quite a lot and people there are generally way more ...

Everybody on this forum needs to lighten the %$#% up and not be so combative about everything. We're just talking about pieces of cardboard with dragons and faeries on them, relax.

I wonder how safe Smuggler's Copter is to buy for Pioneer... I mean it dies to Fatal Push and other stuff people have access to, but yeah... I want it for my B/G Steel Leaf Stompy deck and B/G Saproling deck, but it'll probably get banned. It's definitely in Sauron's gaze.

Karn and Lattice is kept in check by fast aggro, no need for a ban. Mox Opal will kill all artifact based decks, which will suck too.

I think I need a break from this thread. It's getting rather tiresome.

Awesome it's coming to Arena, but it's going to be a %$#% billion years before it's out lol

Also, my LGS is hosting Pionner FNMs now, but on Wednesdays where I can't go.. NOOOOOOOOOOO

[mention]FoodChainGoblins[/mention] That's the problem all formats essentially have. The format has one top deck that destroys everything and people cry out for bans. The problem gets banned but then a new top deck destroys everything and people cry out for more bans. And so it goes hehe. I think th...

I can only be positively surprised in that aspect hehe. I just have no doubt that every choice they make is with dosh as the top priority. But I mean, as a company, who can blame them lol, people need to make money for their jobs.

Veil banned in Pioneer: https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/news/november-11-2019-pioneer-banned-announcement I think this is an awesome change for Pioneer and hope it leads to similar changes in other formats. Cards like Veil are ridiculous and strongly disincentivize counterplay and int...

Hope it'll take a dip in price now hehe. I still need a playset for modern, but I doubt it'll dip too much if at all. I know it's not quite the same, but the green decks may pick up on Blossoming Defense as a pseudo replacement. It's still a very good card that can act as a 1 man counterspell a lot ...

I hope not hehe, I want a playset for my B/G Steel Leaf Stompy deck :) if not I'll just use it for my modern Tron deck hehe. But I could see it get banned at some point since it's basically an instant speed Ancient Stirrings which may be a power level above what Pioneer is going for. I seriously dou...

I will say in my defense though, that I play tron without Karn Liberated/ugin and I play Eldrazi tron without chalice too, so I think I have the strong, but not broken versions of them (so far hehe) There's many decks I really enjoy playing like B/G or Sultai midrange, Hardened Scales and Esper or G...

Yeah, I mean, it sucks if you're only just getting into Magic now and you think Pioneer looks cool because buying into it is kinda hard, but on the other hand if you already have cards from the legal sets to build decks with, then I think that's kinda what makes it fun right now. It's just the "...

The State of Pioneer is that it's awesome

I'm kinda cautiously watching and waiting on the banlists until I buy some more cards for decks I want to build or flesh out. Don't want to buy more cards I'll just have laying around. I need money!
