Algorithm! Love the content!
After Game one, we don’t have a 100% win rate. Our opponent just has a 100% lose rate against us.
I really want surgical extraction to come to Arena.
Love it
I mean Jeff, ragavan and the pitch elementals were some of the strongest mh2 cards, creatures are great in modern 🤡
Jeff how long do your promotions usually take to play through?
Agent of no fun. 🙁 Wizards and their logic. :facepalm:
At some point, Agent of treachery had an "if it was cast" trigger, but it was for a temporary event, long before they announced Alchemy.
in fairness though, saying "nassif is working on UW control" is like saying "water confirmed wet."
I feel like cards like farewell are key examples of cards designed for edh that just do too much in 1v1 formats. Leaves no counterplay other than actually countering it
beautiful deck <3
When is WotC going to invent a format that doesn't allow any cards printed in the last several years? I got so frustrated with the horrible card design that I quit playing about 2 years ago and every time I want to come back (you ALWAYS want to come back, there's nothing quite like Magic sadly) and I start watching more and more videos I just see that they're still obsessed with power creep and printing a shitload of broken, must answer nonsense. I miss when Magic felt like a game of inches rather than just lucking into slamming your broken shit before your opponent. It feels like Magic has taken a downhill turn ever since they decided it would be a good idea to print a bunch of busted walkers in War of the Spark that for some reason aren't even symmetrical effects. Even control cards feel too strong now, control used to be fun to play and fun to play against back when you would play modern and see your opponent drop a Hallowed Fountain and wonder why they would play something as weak as control. I think the best formats where control exists are formats where control is "reasonably playable" but not close to tier 1.
Whoever thought Farewell was a necessary or fun card played this game about three times in their life.
Hey, there is a format where attacking and blocking is relevant! In vintage you have lots of creature combat between dredge, hogaak, BUG, the various saga decks and shops. Only decks not engaging in attacking and blocking really are doomsday, paradoxical outcome, oath and some variants of standstill. Combat matters to all of the others in about half of all matches I'd say. Like half the reason shredder is dope in vintage is because it blocks super well, same for tasigur and the like out of sideboards.
Obviously pretty bad that the only format where combat matters is also one of the least accessible formats since you need to know your opponents decks pretty well to play decently (at least it's cheap on modo I guess 😛 )
