Getting basic game analysis wrong and failing to RTFC are much, much worse than being boring as far as commentary goes imo

They should hire John Madden
Just give the commentators a light pen and a tablet, same effect for much cheaper.

Good ol' JR isn't doing anything right now

Actually if JR brought you any joy at all as a child (looking at you WWF tcg peoples) you should head over to the Pittsburgh pirates web site and drop the gm a note to hire JR as their radio announcer because he is up for the job.

I have absolutely no basis for this, but I really dislike Gerry Thompson and I want to punch him.

Like I've never met him, never interacted with him, no reason whatsoever but every time I see him I think "man, I'd really like to punch that dude"

Welcome back to the Liturgigoon thread, friend.
To me, cedric nails the tone perfectly, where he's excited and emotional but never over the top in a cheesy way.

Same but for Todd Anderson. Gerryt is a good guy who just wants to smoke a doob and will run interference for you in the late rounds.

A question that has nothing to do with the commentator chat right now, but would you guys rather have a WWE style announcing crew, or a golf style?

Like, 'OH MAH GAWD HE'S EQUIPPING THE CRANIAL PLATING TO THE ORNITHOPTER! HE'S ATTACKING! SOMEONE GET IN THERE AND STOP THIS!'

Cuz I'd like that

Wrestling + John Madden every time. The game isn't exactly spectator friendly anyway. Unless you really like seeing people nervously shuffle all day.

I will gladly loose 100 games to SoFI if that were to happen, but there is practically zero way WoTC ever takes any steps to make modern more fun or interesting when they have the option of banning more and more things until the format is just on curve bodies smashing into each other forever.

Yeah it is a good playmat. I signed up after seeing it and seeing that entry was only $40. I was expecting $60+.

Wall of Roots, Bird, and a red land.

I want to build that as my first modern deck. It looks like something you can stick with for a while and just develop a good skill set.

The entire deck is play lines obscured. Sometimes I think it just gets wins because the opponent can't see one of the 5 lines available to Hoogland (or Hoogland stand-in).

EDH really does generate a lot of sales. Mix that in with a card that doesn't have a ton of supply and you get this.
