Yeah, my buddy loaned me one. Didn't really help though haha. It wasn't my best showing. The deck was right, matchups were just horrible.

My Jund deck has a good win percentage against Eldrazi. Mostly because it's all removal and surgicals/extirpate and wins with manlands and goyfs.

It's very dumb.

The Pauper GB Delve deck mentioned a page or so back is likely some variant of Tortured Existence, aka my favorite deck if only GB could protect Tortured Existence.

Rally is obnoxious insofar as every deck that spends five full minutes per game shuffling is, and it's compounded by pilots who have to think about every single interaction for several seconds. The deck itself isn't too bad imo if the person playing it is experienced with it.

In summary, gently caress fetch lands, may they rot in eternal formats forevermore.

You'll also noticed that he hasn't done any Magic illustration since Time Spiral. He's moved on to being a gallery artist. He just shows up at events in Denver and makes a killing redrawing Moxen and Jester's Cap on playmats.

He had an Unlimited (I think?) Volcanic that he was playing yesterday and it made me very sad to see such a beautiful card in that shape but It's not my money so whatever. At least it isn't MLP Power

I sat next to him yesterday, and he was very impressive. It makes sense that he destroys all the SCG IQs he is in. He knows every interaction and his table presence must be very intimidating to someone that doesn't have absolute assurance in their own game

It always cracks me up when they gently caress mana bases for standard up. Last time it was this bad was with the Storage Lands and Vivid Lands in the same Standard.

Did you see LSV playing Calciform Pools in his Modern Bant Eldrazi deck? It was a pretty impressive piece of tech that will likely get the deck a ban.

Gaby is bringing up a good point, which is that the Hardened Scales deck kind of sucks without Hardened Scales in play. The answer to this to me seems to be "play Gideon." I mean, "well he costs 4" seems like a not terribly amazing rebuttal because he just wins the game by himself all the time because he's the best card in Standard.

He's actually a very nice dude who will smile and be very nice and tell you how well you're playing while he smashes your loving face in.

Speaking of dumb decks, I played against Bryant Cook yesterday and how about this, if your deck is worth so much that you need to triple sleeve it and it's a foot high and impassible to shuttle, play with different cards.

andrew boswell is like randy buehler levels of wrong on calling lines here why did they get him back on commentary after the first time

gerry's at 7 and he says to kill a pyro instead of a strix :laffo:

although the actual right play in that situation was to save the charge (to gain 2 life later) b/c iirc killing the strix gave the guy exactsies for his angler. Even GerryT misplays!
