deftest posted:re UNSLEEVEDMEDIA Why do you think so many Magic players hate blue? I think the situation is more like this: A: "I play my creature." N: "I counter your creature." A: "That's bullshit! You shouldn't be allowed to stop me from doing what I want to do in this game! My ability to play whatever I want while you just sit there letting me is basically free speech!" *Wizards starts making creatures strong and counterspells weak* A: "See, Wizards clearly agrees with me." Now replace "I play my creature" with "I harass people at my LGS who don't look and act like me".

Retromancer posted:so your argument is that it would have made a 2nd or 3rd archetype in a format good, and that it would have made a completely format dominating combo deck that everyone saw needed a ban immediately better without enabling its combo in any way? those are weak arguments to ban a card. Mage was bad in CoCo because of the pseudo flash. it would have been fine in any of the subsequent standards. Monument was the best deck in the format for awhile, and would've been over the top with Reflector Mage. And yes, the fact that it would've made a completely format dominating combo deck that everyone saw needed a ban immediately better without enabling its combo in any way should be a giant red flag that the card is too good.

Jabor posted:Ban every one-mana cantrip I guess. What? Cantrips are good in combo decks because they enable the combo by helping to find it. Edit: And in case it isn't clear, I'm not advocating that every card that could make a combo deck better without helping the combo be banned. Reflector Mage is different because it could regularly decide games without the combo in another way (opp gets bounced on three or four, can't play anything, effectively loses two turns) for very little opportunity cost. Reflector Mage caused broken game states and judge calls, creates unfun games where you don't play magic, dominated one format, would've dominated another, and significantly improves an overpowered combo deck. That's a lot of strikes against it. Tom Clancy is Dead fucked around with this message at 00:25 on Dec 9, 2017 |

Meyers-Briggs Testicle posted:permaban twoo I actually had this discussion with an acquaintance at my LGS who hangs in Bertoncini's circle. He readily admitted that Bertoncini is a cheater and he doesn't condone that behavior. But he still tried to defend Bertoncini as being a cool guy to hang out with, and it sucked that he was probated because "he plays Magic to help feed his family" to which I replied "That's a dumb gently caress idea to begin with." He even tried to explain away that incident the weekend Bertoncini got off probation as just "a judge being unfair because he's Bertoncini." loving hilarious.

deftest posted:re UNSLEEVEDMEDIA Unfortunately, being good at magic and being a goddamn idiot are orthogonal. Travis Woo is legitimately fantastic at magic. Unfortunately, he's also Travis Woo. More generally, as much as nerds like us would like to believe otherwise, being capable at science or math or MTG does not imply the ability to think critically about politics.

I drafted Jund Dice in Unstable because my first two cards were The Big Idea and As Luck Would Have It, then got passed Krark's Other Thumb and Ol' Buzzbark, and then Grusilda Monster Masher for value. I proceeded to lose to U/W Evasive because my deck exploded on me

While it might end up a total bust, if you already own chalices and want to play this mono blue as fortold deck this might be the last night to get them for this cheap. As fortold is mythic and visions is as cheap as it’s ever been in a while. I bet to see this on camera tomorrow.

I don't really mind Unstable or anything, I'm just kind of ho-hum about the fact nobody seems interested in actual Magic these days. It's mostly just joke cards or the shitstains that play it. I've been having fun with Grixis Midrange. It's not a color combo I play often, but sometimes you get to cast Chandra turn 4 and then play Bolas, because why the gently caress not

deftest posted:re UNSLEEVEDMEDIA nerds want to think they're smart and special, but ALSO they want to think they've been oppressed for being smart and special, and mtg/D&D/being a smelly piece of poo poo is their "safe space." anyone who has been unfairly mean to them, you know THE JOCKS and women, don't deserve to get to play games. while you were kissing your girlfriend I WAS STUDYING THE TRON MATCHUP et cetera. because of nerd social fallacies they've also twisted things around so that telling someone to use hygiene, to not scream slurs, to not sexually harass is "gate keeping" and "harassment" whereas actual gate keeping and harassment is just part and parcel for protecting your turf from everyone who has oppressed you. also the thing about nerds and "logic" is that nerds are very strongly controlled by their emotions but very invested in considering themselves smart and logical so they make decisions based on their feelings and then smugly explain that their slurs and poor behavior are steeped in incontrovertible truths about the universe it's kind of fascinating to me to be honest. but the important thing to know is that nerds have convinced themselves they're a persecuted minority and that asking them to not be cruel and disgusting is harassment, whereas actual harassment is just justifiable and logical behavior to protect their hobbies and beliefs.

P2P1 an Adorable Kitten and did not regret it. My entire deck, minus that one reminder-text tapper, was host/augment creatures and cards that cared about it, including the legendary creature that was P3P1. Humming- is so good.

Went 3-0, 6-0 with WG augment at LGS tonight. Was originally WU random stuff, but then opened Dr. Julius Jumblemorph pack 2, so that was it. Pack 3 got passed the Earl of Squirrels which never saw play. Drafted 3 contraptions, played 2 (Dual Doomsuits, Refibrillator) with 2 Joyride Riggers in my deck. Drafted both Angelic Rocket and Slaying Mantis, but unfortunately did not play them.
