GoutPatrol posted:Jace was more expensive than I think all duals at its peak in 2011. This is saying that the magic market is busted and should be destroyed, thank you Yeah, you're right. I had a dozen underground seas during that year because it was easier to trade for than Jace. Polluted Delta was also still around $20. It was a great time to get into legacy and stop playing standard when cawblade was dominating and then delver came. What I'm trying to say is that maybe standard has always sucked.

Imo standard has been good more than it’s been lovely since Dominaria, but it’s pretty close to 50/50.

Artifact is one of those games where I don’t know anything about it but everything I hear makes it sound absolutely awful, even when explained by people who really enjoyed the game.

FPS games and Moba's at least make some sense in that you're watching things happen but for someone that doesn't already know the game and cards Magic is possibly the worst spectator sport I can imagine.

mandatory lesbian posted:The idea of drafting a set without any synergies in it sounds abysmal It was the intro set, so it is more like the only set of magic existing is Core Set 20xx and it is really straightforward and boring because they had plans to introduce more complex sets, but whoops, only 3 people still play it. Don't blame Garfield for Artifact either, they managed to destroy their audience for their autochess battler Dota Underlords incredibly quickly as well despite never monetizing it. TFT and Hearthstone Battlegrounds appear to be doing well so it appears to just be a Valve problem.

Chiming in to say that playing cawblade mirrors incredibly stoned on mtgo did something to the priming part of my brain that is only matched when deep in flow state while coding. So many moves ahead and patterns etc that were hard to consciously consider lol

companions are great, they lead to fun gameplay. There's a lot to consider, like if you have cards in your hand that you'd rather play than your companion and if you'd rather play those instead.

I’d rather they’d be gone, but I think people are overblowing how bad companions are in standard. From my personal experience, Modern is hosed tho lol.

I do think the impact on standard is overdramatized and standard isn't actually very different from how it was a month ago. But I also don't think there's any real nuance that companions add to the game and I assume people who say that they're interesting are trolling.

Hasn't Lurrus basically become a must-have for a lot of Vintage decks now? lol: https://www.mtgtop8.com/event?e=25684&d=390905&f=VI They can't ban it and restricting it would do nothing. Good job guys! Good thing no one cares about Vintage.

Has anyone done the math on how much advantage a companion deck has over a non-companion deck, just from the extra bs?

the strength of companions in standard is absolutely not even remotely overstated. they are extremely, exceptionally good.

Once you realize companion means “start the game with an extra card in your hand” it does seem seems kinda busted for standard

It's not that they literally can't ban, it just looks worst doing it in that format.
