yeah it was tuned to be a fast naya deck with wild nacatl, and the "lightsaber" part of the name came from how fast your manabase can come together to support those mana requirements. nobody played it outside of the PT that it won.

It was Worlds 2009 and it was a mixed format tournament. poo poo was just weird.

it played nine green onedrops and four first turn green sources, and inexplicably an Oran-Rief, a tapped green source

Thank you for the exact numbers, but ya, they got lucky or they cheated. Deck was nonsense, though you kinda gotta respect Flores for coasting on his one good* article from overish twenty years ago—which I’d still recommend to newer or lapsed players: http://www.starcitygames.com/magic/fundamentals/3692_Whos_The_Beatdown.html

*ya ya philosophy of fire was important at the time but isn’t as enlightening these days as who’s the beatdown

Its weird. Hearing about Whos the beatdown used to be a meme in the older hearthstone threads circa 2017 because it was mentioned so often by people stopping by but I havent heard the term in ages at this point. I guess its arguably a much more important concept in HS because because the attacker dictates the trades.

They brought back the Yogg effect with no downside of being on Yogg.

How do you feel bout it?

I dont play much anymore seems ok. I was actually bought this avatar because I complained about yogg so much. The only real issue with the card was he was both a little too strong and neutral so he was correct to run in every fuckin deck and if you ever hit turn 10 it was guaranteed a yogg would be deciding the match. If he were locked to a single class to start with idk if he'd ever have been nerfed.

If you're a middle-aged man who watches and enjoys my little pony then you are absolutely deserving of mockery, unless it's a "my child enjoys it and I will support their interests" thing.

If an actual child enjoys children's television then there's nothing wrong with that.

People like to have fun and sometimes giving a thing you made a fun name is fun. So the answer to you question is "people who enjoy fun names" with the addendum of "if you don't, shut the gently caress up and let people enjoy things."
