I looked up that cartoon from the playmat, it's referencing a 20th century politician, and according to wikipedia he was definitely not a cool guy and I see how someone might take issue with such a playmat

They could in theory use any of the now weekly ban announcements to do it. So possibly as early as tomorrow. It's gonna be a badvlook if Oko is done in pioneer but not standard.

EDIT: What's the basis for getting banned for an R&M matt? They let people have those disgusting anime tiddy matts, and this isn't even close to it.

Yeah if you can't get banned for anime tiddy sleeves and mats, you def shouldnt be DQ'd for this.

Yeah no chance they're doing it since that requires going back on their baffling "we're not banning anything until after the pro tour" statement.

Somehow not admitting you were dumb is more valuable than losing 3/4 of your potential audience who are going to go, "No point in watching 17 hours of Oko mirrors, wake me up when the banlist update goes into effect so we can play this format again."

Side note: I was annoyed as gently caress when Field was banned and it took almost a week to kick in. I feel like an extra deployment for your platform that's going to win back how many players the instant it goes live is worth the tiny bit of extra work (though I'm assuming their process isn't the the stupidest thing possible and completely manual, which is undoubtedly exactly what they do given their digital track record...).

Are we saying that isn't funny? Because Rick & Morty is the best show with the worst fanbase. Complaining about this would be like complaining about a Bojack Horseman mat. Especially if this is just some angle shooting rear end in a top hat, because it makes it harder to get a gross mat gone when it makes someone actually uncomfortable.

Yup, that's kind of where I'm at. Springtime of Hitler is fine and good, because mocking the man might be the best way to remember him. Not as some hyper-proficient fascist (he wasn't) but as a boob who's worth ridicule. The Rick & Morty stuff is in the same vein.

Playing Mardu Knights, I know the following:
Embercleave is a 4x, you want to see that card every game, full stop.
Steelclaw lance is surprisingly good. T1 Feverent Champion, T2 Lance, hook up the Champ isn't the world's worst thing to do (and you get to utilize the oft forgotten last paragraph of text on the Champ).
I'm also pretty medium on Stormfist Crusader.

This is what I've mocked up, but I have no idea how correct it is:
Deck
4 Knight of the Ebon Legion (M20) 105
6 Swamp (ANA) 58

4 Blood Crypt (RNA) 245

4 Angrath's Rampage (WAR) 185
4 Legion's End (M20) 106
4 Noxious Grasp (M20) 110
3 Drill Bit (RNA) 73

Thanks, meant to paste it into my post, guess I forgot. As much as they've been screwing up these last few years they deserve credit for getting equipment playable in constructed outside SFM.

You're right on Embercleave and it bears investigation but I'm just concerned I'll have a couple and not enough board to cast them. Dunno what Regisaur is for though?

I've really like Blacklance Paragon, both body and removable, can surprise them when they think you can't afford Muderous Rider.

Rotting Regisaur is seen as kind of a midrange combo kill with Embercleave. 16 trample damage is a lot.

Narcomeba giving you a free warm body for Therapy and Dread Return is huge. I’ve been playing Manaless Dredge for about 6 years and Narcomeba is so versatile. Blocking Emrakul feels amazing. It’s the only creature in your deck you can put in play on their turn, and it’s a blue spell you can pitch to force.

Do you know of any good primers for it? I'm building it as my legacy deck and have found a few builds around. Sideboarding and how to handle g2/g3 seem really complicated.

'smeper fi

I haven't played MTG against anyone but a circle of friends in a decade. We moved a couple years ago and haven't touched anything related to the hobby.

My son and I went to the local game store and the owner helped us both put together standard decks that wouldn't get steamrolled at FNM. I went in saying I'd spend less than 100 bucks on each deck and the dude convinced me to spend less and make sure we wanted to keep playing long term. I walked out having spent 100 bucks with sleeves and a new play mat for him.

The staff were super helpful and cool. I am looking forward to coming back this Friday.
