Feels weird to concede to a player that clearly should've won but doesn't understand when to activate Zephyr Charge such that I can't block. Also feels weird to still be bronze in draft. Four Heart-Piercer Bows and two Renowned Weaponsmith oughtta win more than one round in draft. Well, minus the one I conceded. But I felt bad for that fella.

Can Wizards please start calling its formats by Bo1 and Bo3 like the rest of the world? This is the second time tonight I've drafted a deck expecting to go into Bo3 and then ending up Bo1. Those need different cards! This is what the world gets for incessantly requesting math of me.

An explanation of how to approximate trigonometric functions to arbitrary precision on a processor capped at 32-bit data types. And minor shader magic which feels complicated but might actually be reasonable for those used to working in nonsequential computational environments. It makes me tired. I need to find some hobbies that aren't brain-drainey and also don't involve lifting other people's furniture then putting it back down. Jank's been treating me better.

The designers who made Narset should seriously have all their fingers and toes clipped off with pruning shears and be made to eat them. Like I can’t imagine sitting down to design an uncommon with the text “your opponent can’t draw cards” and not having everyone else in the room go “dude it’s a CARD game, that’s like the whole point, go take five minutes and get rid of that terrible idea”

*playing a bunch of scuttling reefy bois* maybe you should consider drawing cards via mechanics that don't draw

Narset is easy to kill and you can use card draw on their turn if you just have an Opt, Growth Spiral, Arch activation, etc. It doesn't shut down card draw completely. It's super funny watching people go all in on like a Bontu with one sitting around though. That's more of a general WotS has 18 plansewalkers with passives that will randomly ruin you if you forget about them though than a Narset specific problem.

If you have any kind of damage threat Narset is basically draw 1 for 1UU

I think mono black is going to need ritual of soot to stay relevant. Either that or a more aggro focused meta. There are so many greedy archetypes in UG that can go over mono black.

Black is gonna have problems when it has Legion's End, Witch's Vengeance, Epic Downfall, Reave Soul, Swift End and Blast Zone?

There are now so many ways in Standard to get cards easily without drawing and thus bypassing Narset, including Narset

Legion's End and Witch's Vengeance don't trade efficiently against Field of the Dead, as nuts as that sounds. I do mean mono black control. I tried to put my current mono black control deck together in M20 preview and it was bumpy going.

I think Narset's passive is an excellent thing to have on a playable card, but I could buy that maybe it shouldn't be a blue card. Then again, modern Magic is basically the five colors passing around the "be a blood-filled blister on the anus of the format" pipe, so I'm not sure what color you could put it in that wouldn't eventually end up being the fun police.
