TheKingofSprings posted:Which means -1/-1 counters are done because they make too many feelbads and making your monster grow feels good I thought it was mostly because -1/-1 counters stop mattering as soon as you try and put more than the toughness down, whereas +1/+1 counters stop mattering at about like 5ish? however many you need before the creature is Real Big so there's just a larger variety of things you can do with them

I am bummed out that it's not possible to cast a chain of all five Expertise cards. You can only go up to four because two of them have the same converted mana cost.

Another great series Caleb did was the Grudge Match series. He played one against Craig Wescoe facing off in standard and then modern but Caleb specially adjusted his modern deck to have pro white creatures and flash fires (I believe he kept saying that they were the best tech in the mono-Wescoe meta game)

I'd love to know why that deck is called "Cheerios," because it makes no sense to me.

1) people used to name combo decks after breakfast foods (typically cereals) for god knows what reason. (cf fruity/cocoa pebbles, trix, life, full english breakfast...) 2) punning on the fact that the deck is mostly a bunch of 0s

It only has twelve 0s, it's not cheerios. Also it's a hilarious but terrible deck that could go in one of three different directions to get way better.

How viable of a deck is Skred Red right now? I've been looking into it but it seems heavily meta dependent. I've also been looking at Dredge but I'm unsure if the recent bans hit it too hard.

Does the Cowardice bug on MODO still work and did anyone ever confirm if it's because the card has 'dice' in its name? I want to know so bad. I'm enthralled by the possibilities of just how terrible MTGO's code might really be.

moush posted:How viable of a deck is Skred Red right now? I've been looking into it but it seems heavily meta dependent. Skred is viable but very much not a top tier deck. It's very good against most aggro and the fair midrange decks, but has a lot of unwinnable matchups. It's fine if you're playing for fun but there's probably better things if you want to be competitive or whatever. I've been told by dredge players that the deck is still good, just a little less consistent now. I've never seen the golgari thug version myself though so I'm not 100% sure on that.

Slice and dice is used in vintage so it isn't that I'd think.

The owner of my LGS runs it and seems to have a good time, I think it would be good if you have a lot of three-color decks at your store and can consistently hit turn 2 Blood Moon. I think the deck is fairly cheap outside of the Moons too (and depending on the walkers you want to use), if that's a factor for you.

Another week that new lily has barely fallen in price despite seeing little to no standard play. Even flamecaller is starting to fall. Magic pricing doesn't ever conform to reality.

She'll probably hold her price until right before rotation when people scurry to sell her before she drops. Just #mtgfinance things.

I'm not up to par on my ancient Egypt knowledge but why would it be GY themed? I know they mummified people/cats but is Egypt known for people coming back from the dead? I don't remember learning any of that

Hand disruption makes casuals feel bad. I'm surprised they still even print cards like that while things like lighting bolt that appeal to casuals but they'll never print.

Yea it was a dominant idea in their mythology and extended to how they thought about their kings and the flooding of the Nile. Cycles of life, death, and rebirth are everywhere. It'd be wrong to have an Egyptian set without these themes.
