It's also really funny how modern has everything that Wizards deems "unfun" yet people love it while standard is only now recovering from having FNMs not fire despite being the most focus-tested-for-fun format they could make.

It's almost like making cards is more of an art than... a science??  MtG needs more mad scientist or artist types working on it

I don't think Aetherworks Marvel would be so stupidly out of control if Stony Silence was in the format. Granted that would probably also kill Vehicles; a key mechanic of Kaladesh. But then that didn't stop them from banning Emrakul, premier key card of Eldritch Moon.

TheKingofSprings posted:It's the second one Honestly, standard would be so much better if loving Duress was a card. Having the discard spells be 2 cmc slows your development too much. It feels like the most important safety valve cards were taken and as a result people just can't build decks to interact properly with what they've printed.

Props to WotC for the fun 1GX creatures they've printed, but we need some fun spells to play with them e: Got banned from magic Twitch for the playful nickname Brad "60 Tug" Nelson

It's not actually a problem that Seth profits off his own decks (which we don't even know that he does) Does a person working for a card store have an ulterior motive in driving up prices of random-rear end cards? We need a crack team of journalists for this one!

This also makes random rear end janky cards in people's collection spike in value. Ulterior motive sounds sinister, isn't this just a mutually beneficial arrangement for everyone involved?

It seems like making cards that drained or slowed energy gain would help a bit. Maybe even an effect that would make spent energy damage the player so missed spins would have a more of a downside.

So the top 8's for each GP look something like this to me: Manila: we've got three pretty different variants on Vehicles, with a UW flash deck of all things taking home the trophy Amsterdam: we focus more on BG strategies with delirium winning out right, but we like our control as well as Esper vehicles Omaha: MARVEL! MARVEL MARVEL MARVEL MARVEL MARVEL! (also some other stuff)
