Well, that's like your opinion man. I personally disagree.


Also she is a bad player, in paper. On stream she's fine, but she's missed a vial uptick, she missed a draw, and missequenced vialing in a cursecatcher game 1.

She's not that good of a player on stream, either. To her credit, she admits that she is still learning how to play the deck.

Fair enough, I saw her stream once and she did fine, and I wanted to give the benefit of the doubt here. Not really my cup of tea though.

I think she needs to stream more without her husband coaching her. She wastes absurd amounts of clock when he is in the room waiting for him to tell her what to do.

Eldrazi Displacer targets Master of Waves. Judge rules that the Master of Waves tokens die. They don't, which is extremely basic rules stuff.

Sure but if you can't get a ruling as simple as that right, you probably shouldn't be judging an event with thousands of dollars on the line. Like I said maybe he just didn't know what Displacer does (though that still doesn't excuse him getting the ruling wrong considering the card was right there to read.)

I was farming these for a while, buying them out at 14-28¢ the last few years, planning on backing a deck with them or some other dumbshit thing. Instead I'm just listing them at 2/3rd's the pie-in-the-sky finance listings and blowing them out on people with crippling fomo.

Well there isn't much to play around unfortunately. There isn't many scenarios where not casting your creatures is an overall better value for you when you are trying to play around a reflector mage bounce.

For real. I mean, you don't want to keep the cardpool static literally forever but it's a shame they don't make a format that's basically the funnest standards of years past with judicious additions. Even factoring in rose-colored goggles, I feel like I take any of the Standards with Time Spiral and/or OG Ravnica over pretty much anything since.

Guy on stream just got hit by Thought-Knot Seer three consecutive turns, starting on turn 2. I know it's a bit of a nut draw but dear lord is that gross.

Of course it was a UW Eldrazi mirror so don't feel bad for him.

In the unlikely event Wizards accidentally prints one or more Madness cards that are broken in half the way some of the Delve cards were it could maybe be playable in a tier 2.5 modern deck!

It is very possible my problem is trying to play around it

I have been agonising about if there may be some legs in playing Horribly Awry SB? or Despise over some Duress? or even switching to Transgress!! In a somewhat panicked way.

Maybe I should stop worrying and jam my dudes.

I've watched her stream and she's like the most joyful magic player ever (and also married) so gently caress this guy.

E: I skipped to the part of the SCG stream he's complaining about and you can see like 2 inches of cleavage when she leans toward the table. lol

Keep the faith alive
If anything that guy should be complaining about the really loose play during their match on both sides as opposed to a little cleavage. Between that match and the dude going up against Majors playing the Island to let Majors Islandwalk right through his board was pretty embarrassing. Majors even waited two turns because I am guessing he was figuring his opponent was trying to lure him into a trap. I'm hoping it is just nerves for being on camera for these players.
