Got first in draft Friday following first at prerelease. This time my deck was basically: At pre I drafted BGu with blue for Trophy Mage (got Aethersphere Harvestor in a deck) and one Rogue Refiner. This time I went UGb with black just for Yahenni; not pictured is a bunch of efficient green (un)commons and the fact that I got passed three (3!!) Rogue Refiners. Fun set, seems like the power level is a bit higher this block. e: I can see Rogue Refiner seeing some play if there's an energy tempo deck in UG

i know we're not supposed to think the content sites that also sell product (cfb/scg/etc) are holy unbiased advocates of the game, but it just feels weird to see the last 19 consecutive "deck of the day" articles (dating back to Dec 28th) by Efro have all been for Frontier. like, how transparent and shameless can you be about hyping a fake format whose whose only value to anyone right now is in the form of retailers selling chase modern-unplayable mythics that are no longer standard legal.

Writing bad articles and creating meh decklists for a format that is never going to exist is as safe as it comes. It also super easy considering most of them are almost a direct copy and paste of when the decks were in standard.

Frontier is objectively terrible as a format (currently, anyway) and it only exists because of retailers trying to sell leftover standard poo poo like Jace, Rhinos, etc. Those are facts. Sorry that you're sad about your new overhyped tiny leaders crap not being good, I guess?

Given that EFro hates Modern and Standard, I could buy him legitimately having gotten into Frontier. But I'm all but certain those 'deck of the day' articles are just how CFB is replacing Travis Woo's willingness to build a deck around whatever CFB had overstocked at the time.

I assume it's out of laziness. It lets him just check mtgtop8 once a week instead of keeping up on any format. Frontier is a good choice because it's really new so it's less noticeable when he's pulling stuff out of his rear end. Any article efros written about a deck I understand, he misses the point completely. My favorite was his skred article where he said the gp winning deck sucked and thought it needed 4 copies of pyretic ritual and 4 copies of stormbreath dragon.

TBF I've lost to Stormbreath in a Skred deck, off of the Monstrous trigger no less. It makes me want to play those RG Ponza decks that finish with it or Inferno Titan, but Blood Moons

stormbreath is a respectable card in skred, pyretic ritual isn't after all it's strictly worse than desperate ritual

I know everyone here hates frontier and all but it could be the fact that standard was a dead format until Aether revolt dropped, even more so after the bans, plus no really noteworthy things to write about since there hadn't been any magic events going on outside of a legacy GP, and that event's noteworthy deck had coverage by the winner of the tournament and deck builder. I am sure come Monday the deck of the day will go back to standard. Gotta sell those overpriced brand new standard cards before the PT

Efro puts like no effort into his articles. They're just random decks he finds on whatever site he trawls with barely any original content about them.

MiddleEastBeast posted:lol, what the gently caress are you talking about, you unhinged weirdo RR is loving unhinged for sure but there is a golden flake in his turdpost this time. Frontier is a format for those that have only recently joined and are priced out of many other formats. If this and frontier are good things overall are debate able but the fact that its a format for ppl that have post khans draft chaff is not. I think the legit gripe here is that most of us have sold off our draft chaff from these sets making Frontier another format that we have to rebuy cards that we sold when they were not expensive. I think it's a problem of making formats that are more for the newer less franchised to the Grind players as opposed to people who have been playing the game for some reasonable length of time by now. this wouldn't be a big deal if Wizards was upfront about what the format was for and what it was supposed to do PleasantDirge fucked around with this message at 18:00 on Jan 22, 2017 |

All I know about Frontier is sell your dig through times. Either the format dies out, or it succeeds and WotC has to make a ban list.
