"The fairest combo deck" is spot on. You can certainly spike a tournament with it, I'd bet Conspicuous Snoop is also a really good commander combo deck. Wort even lets you buy back the pieces!

I wish they would bring 4-player brawl to arena, 1v1 brawl is okay sometimes and 1v1 historic brawl can be pretty wacky fun but multiplayer would be such a sweet addition. They would definitely have to up the stop-setting game and add functionality to customize priority passing (I heard modo has a really good system for that?), otherwise it would be pretty annoying from a UX perspective

It's a shame that full art lands pop so much in Arena cause I'd love a good aesthetic reason to use regular lands. That being said, bring back the old Zendikar Full Arts!

Crossposting from the EDH Thread:Balon posted:So the second episode of my podcast/show, Let's do a Brew, is out today! In this episode I'm joined by Jeremy Noell of Star City Games' Commander Versus. We talk about some of his personal decks and the strain of building a deck each week and having the same playgroup for years on end. Then we do one of the show's wacky theme deckbuilds, "Add a Color", where you take a commander and, well, add a color to its identity.

Then the real game could begin.

Infinite Karma posted:Do the tournament rules even say you can get losses for that? I thought the judges were supposed to give you proxies if they determined your foils were too pringly. I haven't pushed it, but answering, "why are just your swamps foiled?" with, "cuz they look great, but i didn't bother foiling anything else." is extremely suspect. They'd fall under marked cards and if they think you're not being forthright cheating, yea. Magic judges are automata who refer to ruling workflow diagrams and can't think for themselves and I wouldn't put anything below them. Good thing there aren't gonna be any soon enough!

Kess, Dissident Mage was effectively soft-banned from Legacy for a while because it was only available as a foil card, to the point they had to change the rules to allow for it. here's the tournament rules for proxies: quote:3.4 Proxy Cards

My biggest hope is that Astrolabe gets banned so everyone can go back to dope basics instead of all snow basics all the time. Like my MPS llorwyn swamps and my Portal second age islands are some of my favorite individual bits of my "collection." Pimping out basics with *your* favorite ones is definitely one of the more interesting, varied and expressive parts of the greater game to me Typhus733 fucked around with this message at 23:10 on Jul 10, 2020 |

Every tournament I play where there's a proper judge the first thing I do is hand them my deck and ask if my sleeves are alright. Especially with my token deck I bought the sleeves in 2017 before I really knew how to sleeve a deck so a bunch have a small mark in the middle near the opening on the back from when I pushed the card in. Best comment I got was "your sleeves are beaten up and technically marked, but there's no pattern so they're fine." First tournament a judge said to me "this is your first tournament and you're playing gw tokens, you're probably the most honest guy in the room"
