im not against making jokes about tragedies but you need to actually be funny about it and not just be a grown-rear end man using death to take shots at a pop star you dont like

Psh, that's nothing, I just picked up my second 3-0 with the red LD deck in the Gauntlet leagues and am tied for most trophies, I'm having way more fun than you.

Wait, no, no I'm not. Why am I playing this bullshit when I could be playing Big Wildfire to win the game with my opponent on zero cards in play? Seriously my opponent is going off with Jar when I'm playing the Wildfire deck, even if I get a turn three Wildfire my opponent has four mana in Artifacts and one land!

I started playing Magic when Nemesis came out, some of these decks are really fun. They're just intentionally chosen so that many of the decks have clear mistakes in card choices because they're playing a totally different standard format - the Stompy and LD decks are apparently metagamed to crush the Morphling deck while losing to the combo decks that had been banned out.

If twitter is any indication he is going to have a lot of issues doing any freelance writing again. CBS, yahoo, and whoever else that ever bought his writing is getting bombarded. CBS has already made statements.

Dude hosed himself over bigtime. Even though far-fetched, this incident could see tv time due to his small affiliation with news outlets.

We're in the age where people post stuff a lot more tame than his post and the company they work for gets publicly called until they fire them. Joke or not, he may have just tanked his writing career, there will most likely be a big backlash and people will probably start bugging / spamming the publications he writes for telling them that they will boycott them if they continue to employ him as a writer.

Is the format really so degenerate that you could maindeck poo poo like Choke? Because that's actually awesome.

e: wait is 1v1 commander best of 3? Is there sideboarding?

e2: and to answer my question, LSV's got a Baral league recording up.

The best deck by a huge amount is Baral. Tasigur/Leovold is probably 2nd. Vice President Jace is probably 3rd. Unfortunately Blood Moons are $20 compared to $1 for Choke so I've only got 2 of those decks covered. The deck I'm playing really only loses to a pile of counters from these decks, and Choke does a pretty good job of stopping that. I considered a Boil too but I think that's a bit much. I can still make use of my tapped islands with a few of my planeswalkers, at least.

People have made bad Twitter jokes about tragedies before (Anthony Jeselnik built his brand off of doing it), but I've never seen anyone get flamed for doing it as hard or by as many people as this guy. Idk what sort of writing career he had before, but he's finished now.
