I'm anxiously waiting for their announcement of their 1v1 MTGO commander ban list. They said it was going to be released today, but I thought all the articles went up at the same time...

The sentence, "My fingers wrapped into fists." is a thing in the most recent Magic Story. I guess we finally have confirmation that the writers are 14 year olds that divide their time between writing Naruto fanfiction and Magic Story.

Actually, yknow what, I've read Naruto fanfics that have better writing than this garbage. You can do way better than this WotC.

Remember someone got paid to write this drek.

Regular EDH is super terrible but I wish they'd put Pauper or Peasant Commander as an option on MTGO. Those are the only few variations of the format I enjoyed playing a few times

It's funny if you go to the reddit page of this story anyone who said it's bad gets downvoted heavily .

I can't believe there are people who eat this up and think it's good and go on every negative post just to try and tell them how great the writing is.

There are people on Reddit saying that this is amazing and possibly one of the best Magic Stories of all time.

I guess we found the Magic Story audience.

I've played a bunch of MTGO drafts now; and my biggest complaint is that the time allotment seems insufficient for this set. I've won several matches to time (and lost once), whereas I've never run into clock issues in other formats before.

Lol no. People play miserably slow enough already without giving them more time.

If you are running into clock issues on MTGO (that aren't caused by the lovely program crashing) its 100% on you.

The MTGO clock is probably the most fair thing about magic and honestly something that would be awesome for paper. The only issues that come up from it are the combo loops that take too long in clicks but all those combos are fringe for the most part.

Walk into a LGS there and ask "Has anyone seen efro around?". If you are immediately boo'd out of the store you are at the right spot.

Speaking of MTGO here's a couple decks I've 3-0 6-0'd with recently:



I cast drake haven turn 3 of R1G1 and felt like i couldn't ever lose. And then proceeded to never even see it again the rest of the draft. The clone was real real good especially when I got to copy the 6/7 hexproof and then give it flying with cartouche. The opponent had to bounce cartouche and then lose 2 creatures to trade, and then i got to flash it back and copy an angler drake for lethal. Mostly I just wanted to clone angler drake because that card is the truth.



Brute Strength + Oketra is pretty broken

I feel like asking this question is dumb to begin with when you already know the answer.

It's a grognard format where people want to achieve "X" and then get all mad and butthurt when you prevent them from doing it by doing "Y".

Also, a huge majority of playerbase have the mindset that their playstyle is good and fair but the second you break up their infinite combo or their 3-4 card synergy you're a dickhead for interrupting that goal and taking way their fun

Anytime I've ever tried to watch an EDH game on YouTube (MTGGoldfish/SCG) it always turn into a boring cry fest where the players are like "Why are you attacking me?!" "Why are you destroying my (thing) but you're leaving his (thing)

Now they just banned a bunch of things for what they consider "oppressive game play" (Sol Ring lol) while ignoring way more dumb and oppressive poo poo like Cyclonic Rift and a bunch of other poo poo that people can name off the top of their head faster than me

There are now two multiplayer banlists and at least three 1v1 banlists (with two different life totals).

This is a 1v1 focused list, you know.

Survival is a totally acceptable card and shouldn't be banned. I understand why it is, but it's really fine. I'm excited that I get to play with Nightmare and Birthing Pod, at the very least.

Why is Back to Basics banned while Blood Moon is fine?

They're both on MTGO, I've seen them in Vintage lists. I assume that a big part of it is they're both way cheaper online than in paper and tutoring is way less of a hassle with instant shuffling and the ability to see your entire deck at a glance.
