Ein Sexmonster posted:The question isn't "can a deck beat copycat", the question is "Does copycat force the vast majority of decks out of the format". I don't see a healthy standard metagame developing when reliable turn-4 kills exist. Especially when the required interactions are so narrow, hence why no more data is needed. So I booked for GP Montreal thinking they couldn't be so stupid again that they wouldn't get rid of cat. What should I do now? I've not really played standard since Eldritch Moon, I don't intend to play Cat Combo, especially not against 80%+ mirror matches. Mardu probably isn't going to be as good and not the way I really want to go. How do I make the best of this? Should I just try to switch my ticket to a side event pass? I was excited about new decks, seeing what BW zombies could do, if a walker deck worked, maybe revised delerium. Or should I ask to read the first Saheli, tear it i two and walk?

TwistedNails posted:The best inner sleeve is the side loading one from ultimate guard. I used perfect fit for a long time and a friend bought the side loading sleeves and they make double sleeving so much easier it's amazing. I got a pack of these, and they work great...as long as the cards are the right size. Conspiracy 2 fits fine, but the EDM, OGW, MM3, and AKH cards I tried are slightly too big.

The reason you double sleeve is to protect against wear on the tops of your cards and to prevent liquid from getting on the cards if someone spills on your sleeves. The sideloading inner sleeves make it so that you might as well just single sleeve.

No ban list modern would be really fun as a legacy light but it would really need force of will to deal with how fast decks would be.

Yeah, I remember reading the last time a semi big no ban list event, a Red/Blue Burn/Delver list was pretty big. It was a burn like deck that used Delver to pressure quickly and used Treasure Cruise to re-gas.

This covers both Ultra Pro and Ultimate Guard.

Normally I'm of the opinion that you should just get whatever sleeves you prefer and not get into fights over which maker of sleeves is the best, but lol at side-loading perfect fits.

Yeah, if you're going to go through the work of double-sleeving you might as well have it matter. Otherwise save yourself the effort and just single-sleeve.

Even if he's a regular I don't want to watch his lovely clickbait. I don't read anything there besides the single-deck discussions for decks I play. That's what everyone should do probably.

Bart Fargo posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ov8Q-ZaD5c&t=331s That's a good point, my only expensive deck is currently in dragon shield smoke perfect fits and apple green matte sleeves so it's protected. I haven't switched to the side loaders yet, just played with them at my friends and watched him pull every rare he had out of a binder (in side loaders in the binder) and sleeve super fast and I thought it looked great and they felt nice. We also don't play with liquid at the table though so spills aren't a big issue, scuffing from going in and out of a binder and into decks is most of the wear and the side loaders looked great for that. I was planning on switching to sideloaders if I got back into standard but that might not happen now anyway with cat being around. I do think they're good for keeping your cards from getting beaten up though.

 From here: http://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/159965784898/i-have-to-be-honest-after-the-coco-emrakul-and Does Rosewater understand that sometimes it's better to just...not say anything? He cites a bunch of legitimate issues (complexity of design for multiple formats, time issues, balance and power level, etc) and yet still manages to just dig the hole deeper with a whiffed "perfect is the enemy of good" argument.

They could swap the Twin archetype to R/W instead of R/U - Cat and Resto are both fine cards on their own, Cat comboes with Twin and Kiki, and it's not like blue needs the help in cube.
