So lost the bet on Gabby sparks. I bet hibachi on her being pregnant but nope, doesn't appear to be the case.

Also wizards is hiring R&D.

She hasn't been streaming and has taken a big step back in coverage. Appears she is going through a Divorce. Also a time when LSV has taken a big step back on things as well but I won't believe for a second that my personal deity did anything uncool and that its just a coincidence.

It's a huge mixed-message; they keep printing sets like this to try and send a message that they support non-rotating formats and people's collections won't "lose value", but if they don't back up those printings with actual tournaments, why are people buying this stuff? Are there really that many MTG players who build modern decks and never actually play modern?

I mean I know there are, I'm one of them, but sure others are smarter than me.

I'm 2. I have 3 decks built and played twice last year. I just got judge Hierarchs for a deck I've never played in a sanctioned game.

LSV kinda had a kid not too long ago. They tend to take a lot of time.

But obviously he's having an affair with Gaby.

To break up MM17 chat, take a look at this sweet innovation: http://sales.starcitygames.com//deckdatabase/displaydeck.php?DeckID=112020

On Twitter, Overturf said the Magma Sprays should be replaced with cards that are good for the Jund Shadow matchup. Anyone have ideas on what those cards are?

Overturf mentioned on twitter he was thinking another fatal push and an electrolyze. He also said it was the best of the Grixis Delver lists he has played.

Gaby was/is fine at coverage. She was at the very least better than Kenji ever was. Also definitely better the BDM and the rest of the old boys club. Sutcliff and LSV can't be the only coverage people. They can't carry it all. Even Paul was pretty good.

Getting a divorce from someone who owns the company you work for isn't "nerd drama."

And LSV has a 5 month old at home, which isn't "nerd drama," either.

I don't like the implications that the word "trains" has on your statement, and the fact that Gaby was perfectly reasonable on coverage makes me even more suspicious.

She is very popular magic personality that basically dropped off the map. Considering she doesn't have to do magic coverage for the money, it just seemed likely that was what it was. Its a normal part of life. I sincerely oppologize for my totally insensitive remarks. Find a better subject for your pretend outrage.

still a lot of the set left to be spoiled. Even though a lot of those are commons, there are a lot of powerful commons to be had.

Also, these are not in the set.
