Re: [Off-Topic] Community Chat Thread

It has been 20+ years since I read WoT. I also quit somewhere around book 9 but that was in part because I hate his multiple POVs especially how many he had. To some degree I feel like a show might help clear that up just from the standpoint that it might feel like it progresses faster. I hated how...

Re: [Off-Topic] Community Chat Thread

Watched the first episode of The Wheel of Time and it seems pretty good. That said, in defense of GRRM, his adoption of noted American Southerner and alcoholic William Faulkner's maxim that "the only thing worth writing about is the human heart in conflict with itself" is what elevates AS...

P.S. How did you make enemies from this game? I'd love to hear that story! Mostly from the old official forums, where moderation was nearly nonexistent and users were allowed to be more... colorful.

Re: [Off-Topic] Community Chat Thread

After a lot of soul searching (for lack of a better phrase), I've decided that my Magic days are behind me. I've been trying to tell myself that I wasn't just losing interest and it was merely the pandemic keeping me from playing, but really the pandemic just gave me the necessary perspective to foc...

Re: September Ban List Update

Iirc, the only real sin was that design missed not emptying the mana pool, thus making commander an exploit where you were able to float mana and cast your commander. If not for that I think someone on the rc said it wouldn't have been banned.

I can definitely pound a 3 for 5 roast beef from there, and their Greek gyro (i don't know what the actual name is) is also decent. I'll pass on the fries though.

Pretty sure the official rules are you have to wait one week before you start arguing that wishes should be legal if the announcement doesn't explicitly mention them.

Re: September Ban List Update

People continually use the length of the banlist as a reason not to ban new cards almost wherever the subject is raised. If that's not part of RC policy, y'all need to clarify that. I'm not on the RC though, so I can't really clarify anything other than my own opinions? And unless the "people&...

Re: September Ban List Update

That's why he said "most". This is an odd misreading here, surely you will admit that some decks can be more commander-centric than others? Golos was monopolizing goodstuff decks (which are generally *less* commander-centric), and putting pressure on every other archetype. That was a poor...

Re: Topical Discussion of the Official Multiplayer Ban List

Has the RC ever even suggested banning reserve list cards? I there any reason to think this is a real possibility or are we dealing in pure hypotheticals? I don't think they will, if only to keep the banlist relatively small. Speaking only for myself, I don't think it's that big of an issue. I don'...

Re: [MCD] Wishes

Are we talking rule 11, or is there an unspoken two rules appended to the rules? Or has the official site just not been updated in a while?

Re: [MCD] Wishes

I don't view the rule as ugly. Like I said earlier, the intent has largely remained the same from the early days of the format, and companions were a crossroads for them. Reevaluate the rule in general (whether it was still something they wanted in the format), and then see how companions fit in. An...

Re: [MCD] Wishes

Literally the only time there was any inconsistency and a rules change was for companion, and even that was debated about internally (at least amongst the CAG, I don't know if anyone on the RC publicly made an individual statement). It's still a black eye on the rules to be able to pay [sym=3] to g...
