So, figured out that you only get the new commander product via packs from the Legendary Cube. Sure, why not.

Drafting a black/red controlly deck, cause I don't know if that's even a valid archetype. And I draft this.



I will let you figure out what's wrong with it.

It was a cool deck. Maindeck meddling mages, sky hussar, thalia, and vryn's wingmare if I recall.

e; He was also super nice!

Not sure if sarcasm or not, but what I have seen from the pro's is the expect to see some kind of Bloom Titan ban. If you were by chance serious, I'm curious what pro's? I know LSV is expecting a ban from Bloom Titan.

Haven't seen this posted yet. Wescoe's GW aggro list is my jam and it's nice to see some bears do well at a big event. Other interesting standout is the Titan Scapeshift list, with 4 khalni heart expeditions and 2 Commune with Lava of all things.

"Tears of the Mariners."

I think I read a review of that. Thought it was one of those baseball stories like "Pride of the Yankees", you know? But it's just about some crabby old sailors, stuck in this little town.
Modern is a super fun and cool format that's far more diverse right now than most people give it credit for. Even if Twin and Affinity make up ~20% of the format, there's still a huge number of Tier 1-1.5 lists that can put in a good showing on any given day. Banning anything right now is dumb as nothing is truly oppressive or broken. 'But I don't like watching/playing against X because its boring!' is always a dumb reason to ban something.

Thanks for your time and for reading my terrible opinions.

WotC doesn't curate the Modern banlist just for the sake of format health, there's also a big motivation to shake it up in the winter before that year's Modern PT, which is why we so rarely see Modern bans at any other time of year.

Yeah I was wondering about that, but I wonder if Mentor has a case for being included in Burn. Seems like generating pseudo-Swiftspears would be a nice curve-topper, though Bolt-Bolt-Bolt is probably a better turn 3 play.

It'll eat a removal spell and buy them a full turn.

deflecting palm has actually seen play in burn for quite a while; in any matchup where they're pressuring your life total, considering the strategy that burn operates, the card is a huge blowout.

Of course Jace is going to be a Coolguy Sex-Haver while simultaneously being manipulated by a female.

Magic players are bad enough with tons of Epic Fantasy(tm) reinforcing their myopic worldviews. Did the world need another trope-ridden waste of trees laser focused on this demographic?

From what I've heard on Tumblr, Liliana is pretty terrible to Jace, and a lot of folks who are interested in shipping (yes, they exist) are against that relationship for that reason.

As to why I know this... :negative: is all I can say.

Urabrask is a dude. The person you're quoting is somehow innocent enough to not know the meaning of slash fiction.
