My favorite card is Spiritmonger because it was a precursor to everything being BGx or UGx midrange garbo forever, even though it never really saw any play. Also because one day a million years ago when little Steve opened one, it was immediately his new favorite card and no other card has ever come close. Seriously, the card is nuts! Too bad it's not even close to being playable. :(

Spiritmonger was mind-blowing to kid me, I though they had made some error when printing the card because how could they get away with printing something that strong? Its power and toughness were each higher than its CMC, plus it only gets bigger? But yeah, it's one of my prime examples of dope cards that are unplayable :smith:

2. Favorite card and why? Could be flavor text or image or whatever.

1. EDH, non-competitive, because I like hanging out with friends and playing magic simultaneously while not really caring who wins, just that we all had fun.
2. Necropotence, because gently caress your fun.

1. Cube draft. I started with peasant and pauper cubing, but I've come to like powered cubes too. Putting together a cube is one of the few ways you can really feel a sense of authorship in creating an experience for players, plus it's just fun to play with memorable old cards.

2. Eternal Witness. Such a simple sounding yet deceptively powerful effect in an efficient package with incredible artwork. Even the name is very evocative.

I love Eternal Witness in Company for grabbing Company or Dromoka's Command back. It's an allstar in that deck for me.

My favorite format is "EDH with friends", which is a different format than EDH because it doesn't involve lovely people fighting for prizes.

My favorite card is Temple Bell. I throw it in everything, and when I activate it, I do my best Oprah impression. "You get a card! And you get a card! And you get a card!"

I would have played humans but I am out of state and the person who went with me only had burn built. He wasn't super hot on playing burn but he was super interested to playing humans. He did well and just missed the cut.

I feel like humans could greatly improve some matchups by sliding in some slightly less synergistic options. Vithian Renegades is red hot trash there has to be a better way to tackle artifact decks.

Whir. I am not going as deep as some of the new lists (not using bauble for example). I feel like although bauble does help whirl in the right circumstances, it turns into a do nothing card too often when disrupted at all. I prefer to keep the bells in its place. As always, leylines was the loving mvp today. Probably would have completely fell over to burn if I ever played against it.

You can't beat Affinity consistently with just creatures. You can't beat affinity consistently with just creatures and 4x path. You need the 4x Path's plus Tutors to have even a decent matchup. I think the right thing for the humans deck is to ignore the matchup.

Glad some folks are able to stay more attached to reality, figured he would be an emotional mess.

The MTGheadquarters idiot has spent all weekend saying he did nothing wrong despite saying the word "cuck" 16 million times per video and all the other idiotic, misogynist bullshit. Its then followed up by some of his detractors comparing his actions to rapists and other completely ridiculous poo poo doesn't help their cause. Its a giant race to the bottom to who can be more over the top than the other no matter who you are speaking out for.

Looking back, I honestly don't believe mtgheadquarters idiot would have even said anything about her if her patreon wasn't doing better than his. He seems especially sensitive to that. Welp, tomorrow is going to be another twitter drama filled day as he is most definitely banned. I just hope they leave the door open by setting new guidelines that get other unapologetic assholes banned in the future like hoogland and others.

I fully expect them to just ban this idiot and declare everything fixed though.
