Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 07/08/2019)
A lot of people are just tired of the Twin discussion. It's been hashed, rehashed, blended up, cooked on the griddle, and then rehashed again. I think if people get heated about it and start lashing out, it's mostly because of the fatigue of discussing the issue. It doesn't make hostility around the...

I agree with you on Jitte. The crazy stuff that happens in Modern makes me wonder if Jitte could even make a dent in the format. That being said, the card is pretty nuts and I don't think it adds anything good to the format, so I'm fine with it staying on the banlist. If it is as busted as some peop...
