Mat Cauthon posted:Were those aggro decks with Copter dominating the field though? I don't understand, people clamor for a format with more powerful cards and then get mad when those cards get played in large numbers? IIRC there have been no shortage of statements ITT to the effect that "Smuggler's Copter would've been fine in a Standard with Abrade" and yet it is now being played in a format with that card, and many other cheap Shatter and/or kill effects. Maybe Copter is always an auto-4 include but it's not breaking Pioneer in half to have it around. Seems like the problem will solve itself as the format develops. https://www.mtggoldfish.com/tournament/pioneer-ptq-12014480#paper Go through the decks and see for yourself. It's basically coming down to are you Mono-Green or Phoenix, no? Then jam 4 copters if you are creature based at all. I'm not arguing its broken beyond belief, but as mono-green continues to get hurt by bans you will see this card take over even more.

sit on my Facebook posted:I'm unconvinced by this on its face. What's his reasoning? If a deck is looking to do a particular thing it's much more likely you can get it, and you can disregard the cases where you don't find the cards you need since hands that don't have them aren't worth keeping and the card loss is greatly outweighed by being able to execute your plan. Basically it's much more OK to go all in on one plan starting even from deckbuilding. https://thezvi.wordpress.com/2019/11/11/ban-the-london-mulligan/

I guess my point is, Nissa and Krasis were in standard with Llanowar Elves already, but then Oko happened. Way too much of Standard hinges on Oko and it's hard to make judgments about anything until he is gone.

Has Autumn Burchet put the original gurus they altered up for auction yet? Money could be going to a trans charity obviously. Because I'd figure you could strike while the iron is hot and getting some cash for a good cause is a huge win, even if it comes out of the art of an awful person.

They should unironically hire a fanfic writer for these novels, they would craft better prose and be less likely to make this sort of tone-deaf decision.

It's so in character for the red stand-in to bottle up her emotions and conform. Really reinforces the red color identity.

They still could, unless one of them dies in this novel? It reads (badly) to me like a further stringing along of the will they/won't they dynamic. I mean of course you have to suspect that the reason they won't finally commit to it is... not that great - either they don't want to get social-media-bombed by the alt-right, or the boomers in charge think it's bad marketing to put their characters into a lesbian relationship, or... I can't think of anything else really.

DangerDongs posted:https://www.mtggoldfish.com/tournament/pioneer-ptq-12014480#paper Again, that metagame spread seems fine to me but I get what you're saying. We'll see what happens in the next few announcements. I don't think Green Devotion/Ramp needs any more bans either but I'll defer to the experts.

Basically it's much more OK to go all in on one plan starting even from deckbuilding. Yeah gently caress that. I'd rather deal with slightly more repetitive games and/or consistent lines of strategy in deckbuilding than drawing dead, nonplayable hands an not-insignificant amount of the time. London Mulligan has been a vast improvement on basic quality of life in matches, there's no way WOTC is going to go back. Queer-baiting poo poo aside this is embarrassingly bad writing. There are entire tumblrs full of MTG fanfic that are better than this.

I did a lot of soul-searching and I'm definitely Not Gay thank you very much, phew."

But it might still be grammatically okay; I dunno? Like it’s implying their love is like an objectless state that they mutually share, or something like that, but this is giving the writer leeway he probably does not deserve

You can understand it, but it is most similar to "better to have loved and lost" which is specifically supposed to make who you loved unimportant.
