Pac-Manioc Root posted:Interesting. So in playtest was there an "any color" casting component or was everything full devotion all the time? Umm, not sure what you are saying. 2U pre-alpha is the exact same as 1U in print. It was just that the number in front was the CMC and the letters represented colored costs, so you had to math it our every time which they realized was dumb, so they fixed it.

So like. Is that itsy-bitsy inclusivity video all WotC is doing in response to HQ, or are they actually going to do something about him? Far as I can see, he has all of his social media outlets going just as strong as before, if not stronger due to the influx of fedoras he has supporting him. He has endless amounts of content bitching about everything, but I'm not interested in listening to his vocal diarrhea.

Toshimo posted:Never forget: Since ABU didn't seem designed with 3+ players in mind, this is functionally just a red timewalk. Or a really direct and unanswerable turn one win. ![]() It would be a fun excercise to template these in the modern parlance. "Whenever target player would begin their next turn, skip that turn instead."?

Lone Goat posted:Huh, Vraska is a aligned with vampires now? Well Vraska's probably not going to be in RIX, so it's probably just a semi-random card. Nissa was UG in Amonkhet, but had a HOU intro card that was mono-green. Glad to see we loving finally got another Rakdos Planeswalker though. The only other one is Sarkhan the Mad from 7 years ago.

Tainen posted:But like Reid and Huey were joking right... Sadly no. He made an EV calculation about how much his deck would improve with a Burst Lightning vs. being able to attend more GPs during the year. And he was pretty much universally shat upon by the pro community, who suddenly were less concerned about "value" and for some reason unsympathetic to his argument of "I still have to buy my own plane tickets."

You then craft, getting exactly what you want (not random). How much more in the middle can you get?

Tainen posted:But like Reid and Huey were joking right... Nope. Apparently even trivial mis-steps are enough for Huey to lose the entirety of his respect for a fellow human being. (Obviously Huey probably didn't literally lose all respect for Pascal for that Goyf decision, but I find that phrase to be comically over-the-top considering how often people use it)

yes it turns out that weird nerds dedicating themselves to an insular hobby suck a lot of the time LSVs most impressive achievement is that he is as good at the game as he is and doesn't puke onto his shoes when confronted with having to talk to another human being

Pac-Manioc Root posted:Turning all your creatures into Phage is a fun and cool ultimate. Original playtest cards had a different mana cost formatting where "2U" meant "2 mana, one of which must be U". If you look up alpha playtest cards there's "Angel" which is a 4/4 flying that doesn't tap on attacks for "5WW".

Sure they may have chased Sprankle out for being a woman, but let me tell you why the real exclusionary behavior in Magic: the Gathering is some net decking rear end in a top hat casting a counterspell on my cool dinosaur cards.
