Oh yeah, I agree with the rest of what you said but it's the internet so I had to point out the one tiny mistake and ignore the rest. I'd play Molten Vortex before I play Hazoret in burn.

Nothing like showing up for FNM after a few months and hearing someone be so excited that our LGS is finally getting it's sanctioning back soon, only to lose to his deck full of proxies in the finals. Sanctioning might help, but if the new owner doesn't crack down on the garbage behavior (and hygiene) there, no amount of prize support is going to make me want to start playing regularly again.

Pretty sure that the proxies at least are going to stop, or otherwise that whole "sanctioning" thing won't last particularly long.

Legacy FNM trip report:

I wasn't going to bother going but I had to go mother's day shopping for my wife, so I was already there.

2 people showed up, including me. I mostly beat him. Turns out BUG cards the deck is bad against both Magus of the Moon and Burn. The streak of not firing legacy since the ban continues. The reserved list continues to be a boon to the game.

did you talk to the owner about it, cause that's a pretty big "don't do that" for sanctioned play

I"m sure at some point I'll get past the nostalgia of playing these specific cards again and want to try to win more consistently. But for right now I'm still enjoying the hell out of it. It's like remembering a great car you had when you were younger and finding it again in a barn somewhere. Firing it up and taking it for a spin is so satisfying even though there's newer, faster, better cars on the streets today. The Timewalk deck was annoying because it like watching someone play solitaire.

You might enjoy pauper. I've been playing it for mostly the same reasons you are, decks are similar to what I remember as a kid. Slivers, black control running pestilence, etc.

I'm curious how they lost their sanctioning in the first place.

So what are the cool new standard decks that have shown up at the PT (ie: other than the same bullshit from pre-Amonkhet standard). I saw screenshots of New Perspectives combo, and Mono-B zombies but haven't been able to watch coverage other than limited.

Does it do that thing where it ignores the screen size system setting and just cuts off every edge for you too?

I can live with that I just except that. It's skipping back like 2 seconds every 30 or so seconds. It's completely unwatchable.

Apropos of nothing: what's the pick here?

Fan Bearer
Tah-crop Skirmisher
Minotaur Sureshot
Djeru's Resolve
Dune Beetle
Greater Sandworm
Winds of Rebuke
Final Reward
Binding Mummy
Dissenter's Deliverance
Ruthless Sniper
Bontu's Monument
Seraph of the Suns
Rags // Riches

My friend gave me a pack for driving him home last night from FNM and I opened this. Is Rags // Riches that good? -2/-2 seems like it just doesn't have as much reach, and getting your opponents worst creature for 7 seems real average.

What would you guys take?

(the correct pick is probably Fan Bearer? idk)

Considering how insanely aggressive the PT is leaning I almost feel like Fan Bearer might be right but it's probably Final Reward and would definitely be that in most formats.
