Pay attention, they’re coming for trans people right now, but they legitimately feel like they deserve to tell you how to live your life. These politicians legitimately don’t think your rights or lives matter more than the money they’re taking
BREAKING: Yesterday multiple Republican lawmakers in Michigan voted to uphold a law that banned unmarried couples from living together.
Below State Senator Thomas Albert argues in favor of the law, claiming that it’s better for children to be in a household with married parents.
Magic player: Can you send me a control list
Me: Here you go
Magic Player: I don’t like your list I think you should change these 25 cards and play my list
Me: uh ok, why did you ask for my list again?
Magic Player: Ship me a sideboard guide too please
Me: ...
For everyone saying you need to play the best deck to win: FUCK and I cannot stress this enough THAT. Play the deck that brings you joy and you’ll want to sit down and play more games with. Doing something you enjoy is broken
It still cracks me up that wizards thought the card counterspell would be too good for modern but a 2 mana planeswalker, 0 mana recurrable 8/8 tramples and Tolarian academy on a creature with a draw engine were totally fine.
I’ve never been less interested in playing with a magic set than I am for this D&D one. I just never got into D&D lore and asking me to add dice rolling as a very common occurrence on every card in my deck sounds awful for paper. Will probably barely touch this set honestly.
I’ve never seen the magic community less interested in current standard than they are right now. No one wants to play with throne anymore. I say we just unban all cards in standard and make the format chaos for the 3 months it has left! Welcome back King, you’ve been missed!
Nope, expressive iteration and its not close. People really dont understand value over replacement. Ragavan is great but marginally better than the next best threat. EI is miles better than any other legal card draw spell (excluding the delve pair in pioneer)
The real take I'm getting from this B&R announcement is that Pioneer is just being replaced by historic. 10 paragraphs of careful tuning to the historic metagame placed right above the throwaway paragraph about green being bad but the meta is healthy in pioneer sums it up well
Oko is in actual every modern deck that can contort its mana to cast it at this point. Extremely sick of this card and would be happy to see it banned. If wotc printed playable removal spells for planeswalkers it might be fine, but attacking it down just isnt realistic
Sold my collection a couple weeks ago and immediately see 2 of the most expensive cards I sold reprinted. Hyped I sold them. Terrified for the future of collectibility in MTG. Hasbro is in full “save their ass mode” they dont give a fuck about your collections.
Still sitting here waiting for wizards to print real answers to the multitude of cheap planeswalkers they continue to roll out. I wonder if they know that if a planeswalker came down & used an ability & you spend a spell to kill it the next turn youre still losing that exchange?
Just came to the realization that I top 8ed a 200 person legacy playoff event today and the prizes I got aren’t even enough to buy 1 Wren and Six. Big Yikes
A guy showed up to galactic today to play commander which did fire. Pioneer did so he bought the pioneer challenger UW spirits list and is currently 2-0 against a field full of very strong players preparing for our 1k this weekend. Living for this run I hope he wins it all
Someone asked me if they could borrow a modern deck for the Invi. I said sure but warned them it was foil and I was missing a card they needed. They said that was fine and they had white bordered copies of the card they needed. Is it OK to revoke the deck at this point?
Can you imagine if the humans player was instead a stoneblade player and put a 4/4 lifelink into play this turn? How would the bridgevine player ever win? Definitely need to keep stoneforge banned because it completely invalidates opponents decks and is hard to interact with /s
On today's Q2 2021 earnings call, Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner says that Wizards' revenue "more than doubled" when compared to Q2 2019.
#MTG
He also said that both Strixhaven and Modern Horizons 2 where "record" releases.
Just found out theres a chance 2 nfl teams could draw into the playoffs this weekend instead of playing sunday night football and really need this to happen. Havent had mtg draw talk in too long and need it back and also would just love to see the nfl flip out in prime-time lol
I love SCG and I buy a ton of cards from them, but this new website is killing me. I literally can't even search cards I want to buy it keeps showing me like random old cards with names not even particularly close to what I searched 😡
Shatter the sky is still just upsets me every time I look at it. Let me get this straight, Once upon a time and Oko are fine but we’re drawing the line at Day of Judgement being too good? Yup 2019 magic.
45 days ago I decided to quit smoking. Now Im a month and a half nicotine free. Yesterday I decided to try and give up carbs. We’ll see how this one goes but Im 24 hours free of them and starting to hit ketosis. Gonna be a struggle, but I think I cam do it!
Personal Announcement: I’ve decided to leave
@TeamNovaMTG
and return to playing for Team RIW at my future events. I wish the team the best for its future events and hope they succeed in their goals but I believe this move is what’s best for me personally.
I think wotc should emergency unban Veil of Summer before this RC so that we can see Mono green be the first deck to ever post a 100% non mirror match win rate in a big event. Would be sick
Lost more followers saying trans people deserve basic human rights than I did saying I’m literally going to quit providing the service you followed me for in the first place and all I can say is good riddance! I hope you impale yourself on your rush out the door
9th place in a 250 person nine round event. prize payout: 10 chests which is less than 5-0ing a league. Challenges not scaling with number of players in the event is really really really stupid
I know it's not going to happen, but would love to see Wizards get back to the PPTQ system for 2021. Given that larger events are less likely to be viable, having smaller local events that matter seems like a good way to grow the paper community in the covid conscious world
Have been testing this in modern and kind of crushing. Deck feels very strong but still needs some tuning. And yes, it hurts to give up teferi time raveler, but lurrus is arguably the best card ever printed so its worth it.
This weekend was incredible. I built my own off meta deck with a bunch of cards I love to play and got to win a ton with it. Next time someone tells you “your brew’s not good enough” and “you should just play the best deck” just remember its twice as satisfying to win with jank!
I’ve always been a hot coffee drinker. The machine at my office broke today so I went out to get some coffee. It was hot outside so I was like ya know lets get a cold brew. My life is now changed forever why have I never really given this nectar of the gods a chance before?!?
Didn’t actually feel that bad about losing at the PC was more proud of my run, but my grandparents were watching me and my grandpa just told me my grandma cried when I lost and now I’m kinda sad about it 😭
Alright so modern seems to be in a place where there’s lots of red removal and prismatic endings. Seems like the ideal scenario to play one mana hex proof boi’s and equip them with expensive things! It’s finally Bogle tron’s time to shine baby!
I remember skipping the regional players tour I was qualified for 2 years ago to play a random scg cuz I had no faith wotc would make anything of their new system but knew SCG would live up to their promises. Decision becomes more correct everyday.
It hurts me to say it, cuz y’all know I love stoneblade in legacy, but SFM is mostly awful in modern. Card’s fine in the abstract but just not at all what the format is about. I sigh with relief everytime my opponent casts one and not a spell that actually matters
Infuriating to watch people get mad at streamers making thousands of dollars while insurance/pharmaceutical companies make billions by jacking up the price of life saving medicine and no one bats an eye.
Bought a store last may. Worked 80 hour weeks to take it from failing and in debt to prospering. Turned it into 4 stores by year end. Today I learned we got an exclusive contract worth more money than I’ve ever seen in my life. Hard Work Pays Off
#HWPO
Still hasn’t really sunk in I’ve top 8ed 3 scgs in a row. I had almost written off going to the PC a month ago and today I’m in position. Couldn’t have done it without this squad getting together and upping our testing game. Big shout out to
@Viral_Drake
and
@HarlanFirer
After playing about 10 leagues with this deck, this is where I'm at. The deck is very good, not sure if its tier 1 but its certainly good enough to be a part of the format going forward. Karn turning mightstone weakstone into a creature then displacing it is 👌
Quit magic 3 months ago and honestly haven’t missed this game a second since I’ve left. People always told me you cant quit magic, but I think you can in the current age. Watching lord of the rings set drop has only reinforced it, very happy I’ve moved on.
Last tournament as someone who takes magic seriously over. Thanks for the memories and the friends made along the way! I’ll probably show up to an event or two in the future just for the gathering but excited for the next chapter!
Wonder if people will understand me wanting to skip a PT for a regular SCG now that they’ve seen OP make yet another bizarre last minute change to their systems structure 🤷♂️
The RC I’m about to play is going to be my last event as a serious magic player. Going to go out the same way I came in. Playing a bad control deck I brewed myself. Im positive I would’ve won more if I picked good decks my whole career and also I dont regret a single deck I reg’d
Pioneer: the format where gaea’s cradle is legal but we cant have mana leak. Print mana leak you cowards! Cmon look at that art, its too good not to reprint!
It’s unreal to me how much people hated Uro. Just looking at how down people were about magic a week ago and how reenergized the community is a week after its ban. Strong argument for it being the least liked magic card ever designed lol
After playing 17 rounds of standard this weekend I can confidently say I hate field of the dead in standard so much. This might be one of the worst standard formats I’ve ever played
Playing the “can you imagine not registering a companion?” format today. Really sick of this mechanic and seeing the same 3 card before every single game. Hate it. Either print more or ban them plz
Just danced back 3 oath of kaya’s to stabalize a board of 2 3/3s and a paradise druid. Woulda won me the game. Instead I got veil of summered to give hex proof vs all the oaths and I died.
Youre playing a big on camera match. You attack your opponent whos at 7 for 6 damage with your 1 flyer. Post combat you look down & realize you have a hierarch in hand and missed lethal. You still have the game 100% locked with multiple counter spells. Do you play the noble?
Twitter I’m trying to upgrade the thoughtseizes in my hammertime deck to make it sweet for the person borrowing it at the invitational, which one is the right choice?
Been a really absurd month, almost quit magic, then win a legacy classic, then top 8 a modern open, then top 8 a standard open... Teferi in all formats, cards too good!
I screwed up this weekend and I have to own it. I made a hasty post in anger accusing someone of something I did not have proof of. That’s not something I should have done and I have to choose my words more carefully. Need to be better than that going forward.
Lists for NRG Champs. Modern is my current Wrenn white and blue list and the pioneer list is a credit to
@claudiohmtg
Would suggest following him if you want more content on it.
Another note. Historic is the dumbest format ever. Whoever’s still pushing this at Wotc and not just admitting it should be scrapped in favor of pioneer should probably be replaced.
My little sister absolutely loves jeopardy. She was watching reruns the otherday and messaged me saying “omg theres a pro magic player on this jeopardy episode!” And I said yea that’s probably
@RossHunneds
. About 30 minutes later I get another text saying he wasn’t very good lol
Always mindblown when someone asks me to concede in a modern league cuz they're 4-0. Do the trophies or the $10 prize actually matter to anyone? I'm trying to test for upcoming real events. Play your best, earn your W, and give me good testing please, dont beg for concessions
I think every single deck at the PC except 4 played green cards. It hurts me to say it but I think forest has surpassed island as the best land in magic 😭
