Both of them are saying the cat deck will not be banned.

E: Not saying they don't have a good reason to do so, SCG wants to move an in-demand planeswalker, just that it definitely looks that way

SCG has planeswalkers to sell dude. They aren't going to put doubt into if you should buy into the deck.

Anyways Eli is close to my team's version but doesn't include marvel and has no real spenders it looks like?

There's no reason to do that unless you're trying to "get" your opponent.

Like, yes, you can argue "they can ask me what I have untapped," but they shouldn't have to ask because you chose intentionally ambiguous arts for your basics.

lol this is like probably dead last on the list of things you could legitimately accuse a player of being scummy for doing. Sorry you can't tell the difference between blue and black. I'm looking at Ice Age swamps and islands (assuming that's what they are) and I don't see how this is even being talked about.

Hey man, you play lands during your main phase, it's not Jim's fault wizards made the game confusing and gives you two main phases per turn!

As a guy who's actually colorblind, can confirm that the game of Magic and also everything in the world is rigged against me.

The only thing scummier than Jim Davis is whatever jerk thought it'd be funny to make traffic lights red and green.

I've never thought about traffic lights being on the same color blind spectrum. Watch them change them to yellow and blue to solve the problem.

They're not, the "green" on traffic lights was specifically chosen to be visible to red-green colorblind people.

As someone who's also red-green colorblind, not only have I never had a problem with traffic lights, they're always in the same order.

I actually have more trouble with the Yellow and Red lights, because sometimes the both look kind of orangey.

This is also why it is against federal traffic regulations for traffic lights which indicate more than one color to be condensed into one color-changing light even though it would save money and material.

For Walking Ballista my guess unless it blows up at the PT or puts a lot into the top 8 this weekend, it'll probably be floating around $4-6 and then steadily fall.

Nissa - I feel like there is zero room upwards with her dual deck printing and the dual deck being less than $18.

Because then it would be XRR and read "Sacrifice Walking Balista: deal X to target creature."

It would also require you to tap and pay R for the sac effect.
