Twin is already 0-2 so far on camera, this makes me happy. Round 1 Kenji lost to Junk CoCo, round 2 Grixis Twin with 3x Kolaghan's Command lost to Affinity.

Has the WUR Sawns deck seen much action at Charlotte? Apart from R/G Tron it's the only Modern deck I really like.

I like that you can selectively keep your Ugin or Ojutai on the board while bouncing everything smaller.

What a shameful world we live in where someone is cheering on Affinity edit: an even more shameful world where someone is whining about an XUU cost bounce spell as a wrath

rabidsquid posted:If they spend six mana I will miss a turn of my outpost seige draws!!!! It's like they cast Plagiarize except it cost 6 mana and they discarded a card instead of drawing one. Brutal. I could actually see it seeing some play as a UU: kill all your tokens spell if that needs to be a thing, but that already exists at BB, 1BB, 1RR, 4B, and 2B. Only one of those will be in the next standard though so who knows? Did anyone besides Alexander Hayne play Devastation Tide?

Affinity absolutely ruined standard and it sucked because standard had been really really good basically from after they made all the urzas block bans until darksteel. Think about this: Affinity made standard worse than it was the entire two years Masques block was legal

So what were the most broken Standards in decending order of brokeness? Urza's Block Affinity Caw Blade Delver What'd I miss? Have there been any others where there was just clearly one best deck that completely took over? Delver wasn't even that bad, it was certainly no Caw Blade, and Caw Blade was no Affinity. It seems like the gently caress-ups are getting progressively tamer as the game goes on. Delver didn't even actually get any bannings, did it?

It's just funny because the hatred people have for Delver or Cawblade doesn't get mocked and Affinity standard was so much worse. edit: heck people still complain about bad cards in the worst color in Standard for the past several years

It's true, it wasnt until Mirrodin that the idea of 'netdecking' was a super prevalent thing either, so a few people knowing a broken deck didn't ruin every meta everywhere. And while Combo Winter was silly as gently caress, there were like 10 different broken as gently caress decks you could play, so at least there was variety.
