Every once and a while someone leaves their stream in frustration because of suboptimal play/drafting and it's always bewildering.

BFZ Gideon's going down in price once BFZ rotates, right? I keep wanting to pick one up for Modern and having to remind myself that he's a one-of in some Tokens and Jund lists and nothing else, and $30 is too high for that.

Yeah the only reason they're Colonnades and not Any Other UW Land is that they're a plan-B. The scry lands or some fetches seem fine.

Should have done a full silver border and just done the machine-readable text in black on top. Instead of this half-silver half-black border thing they've got going on.

You can't even read the twitch chat to begin with there is always 2500+ people and it's constantly scrolling lines of text.

When Maro did the storm scale article for Khans block, he revealed that megamorph was the least popular mechanic since they started doing market research. This week he was doing the Zendikar blocksquote:As of me writing this article, Cohort is the lowest-rated mechanic in Magic's history since we began doing market research. Personally, I don't think it deserves the bottom slot, but it belongs in the bottom 25%. quote:Converge should be happy cohort exists, because otherwise it would be the lowest rated mechanic currently in market research. quote:Only cohort, converge, and megamorph score lower than support.

They shoulda gone with that 4 colorless for a 3/3 version of morph.

Converge was super out of place. They talked about not having room to bring back a ton of ZEN mechanics because of the Eldrazi stuff, but then added a Sunburst variant because...? I guess the idea was to help push 3-color strategies from Khans, but it felt really forced and clunky.

Veyrall posted:He said, in an article I don't remember where now, that the issue of knowing which type of morph was which was more of a concern in Limited, since in Standard player's could be reasonably assumed to have brought the necessary resources to properly distinguish between morph types in Constructed games. He then said that it became a non-issue as time went by, becase Morph and Megamorph didn't end up really sharing any Limited playspace due to Khans being a split Khans/Dragons block, with Fate lacking any morph cards. You have to distinguish between a Morph and a Megamorph when you play them face down? Are you sure?

Barry Shitpeas posted:When Maro did the storm scale article for Khans block, he revealed that megamorph was the least popular mechanic since they started doing market research. This week he was doing the Zendikar blocks There is exactly one card with Cohort that isn't utterly miserable. Incidentally, it's the only one that is reasonable if the Cohort text didn't exist at all.  I mean, look at the marque card for Cohort.  a 3/3 for 5 with that requires you to untap with it, have another guy there, and decline to attack with either, all to get... a three-cost sorcery effect. Khans block before it has Abzan Ascendancy, OGW has Voice of Zendikar, and Shadows block after it has Collective Effort, all of which do the +1/+1 counter on the team thing for 3 mana, plus other stuff. Archangel of Thune and Celestial Ancient are conditional +1/+1 counter to the team for 5 mana guys, but they don't have to decline attacking to get their counters. Hell, Archangel of Thune does it for attacking. And it's locked to Allies, who in every prior appearance focused on ETB abilities. You know what I like for my ETB guys to do? Not contribute to combat! And it's parasitic as hell (no matter what Maro says) because you need a critical mass of allies to make your 2/2 for 4 turn into the world's least efficient zombie factory. Cohort gets worse the more you look into it, which is why it's such a bad-feeling mechanic.
