I hadn't realised the historic masters stuff was out and played into that planeswalker that turn 4 gave my opponent an emblem where all his creatures got +2/+0. Doom foretold eats all permanents alike, no matter how broken.

Looting is a key card in the madness deck isn't it? Hogaak plays it as well maybe?Sampatrick posted:Legacy honestly looks super sick right now Legacy's a lot of fun right now. I'd like to see something go out of the delver/standstill archetype, the monkey or daze maybe, to reduce the numbers of those decks but the format is good. Very disappointed to miss out on a 40+ player tourney next week.

HootTheOwl posted:https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/mtgo-standings/legacy-challenge-2021-08-29 Seriously just stop talking any things you don't know about and insisting you are right. Looting sees play in BR reanimator, Hogaak, LED dredge, Madness aggro and fringe use in other decks. It makes regular appearances in 5-0 dumps and challenges and Eric Landon is the second place trophy leader right now playing reanimator. When you said it was unplayed in legacy you were factually wrong and your inability to just accept you made a mistake is a regular feature of this thread. Edit: I'd also agree Legacy is in a good place overall. UR delver looks like it's getting held in check by other decks and while I don't like the monkey it's probably not ban worthy. neaden fucked around with this message at 15:40 on Aug 31, 2021 |

Yeah, not sure if a ban is worth it. Not a fan of the monkey but letting the format shake out a while more is a good idea before making any decisions because it's currently a good time. I like that spicy 11th place grist/ragavan lands deck lol

Things that are too good for Modern are also too good for Standard, regardless of whether or not they're good enough for Legacy, especially cards that do nothing other than increase deck consistency. There's gonna be something dumb you're gonna be able to do with it in Standard.

Thinking about it overnight, I don't think they are going to unban looting in Modern. Faithless Looting enabling a consistent T2 Archon might be too good. I think there is a very clear reason why Unmarked Grave was a 2 drop. It's perfectly benign in standard though.

I rearranged my entire GenCon schedule so I can finally play vintage and 93/94 in paper again. I cannot wait. Since they aren't really sanctioned formats anymore, I do wish everyone would just piss off about keeping people with proxies out of the events. They need more players and the games are really fun! Just let people play.

Toshimo posted:Cool, so the running tally of poo poo you talk out of your rear end without understanding, just on this page, are: You can respond to people you disagree with without being so aggro. DAD LOST MY IPOD posted:you have centralized the bad posting metagame. we used to have a diverse roster of really bad posters itt, from mcmagic to Sickening, but now it's basically all hoot all the time. You can respond to arguments and information you disagree with, without calling out posters. This is poo poo. Calling out people with insults is much worse than people being wrong about magic sometimes. The latter calls for discussion, the former starts fights. HootTheOwl posted:https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/mtgo-standings/legacy-challenge-2021-08-29 You can respond to people's critiques, without "rolling with the punches" by admitting when you're wrong, or else refuting what they're saying, or even just ignoring them. Positioning yourself as the thread punching bag isn't helpful. Sickening posted:Its totally okay to be wrong and have differing opinions in the MTG thread. Yes. Exactly. Mods cannot enforce a thread-truth standard whereby only those with the correct takes are allowed. You are all going to have to figure out how to either ignore your posting enemies, or respond in a civil manner. fadam posted:Even if 99% of us disagree with every one of his takes I think the thread is better for having HTO in it. IDC how insane your perspective is as long as you actually play MTG. Yesssss. We will never, ever run out of people who are incorrect about things, in any TG thread but especially Magic threads, where there's just so much game content to have takes about.

I dunno; I've said before that something like Force of Will is too good for Modern, but might be okay in Standard because card disadvantage actually matters in Standard. But then Modern got Force of Negation, and it didn't quite ruin everything. And something like Standard when it had Oko/Uro might have been even worse. I'm probably just a moron.

Doing Time Spiral Remastered draft I got to learn the surprising Madness interaction that you can discard Grave Scrabbler from your hand because you have too many cards, cast it with Madness, return a creature with Madness to your hand, then discard and cast that as well because casting something in your discard step causes a second discard step to occur. It definitely felt like the rules were straining to handle this, but in a cool way

I'm guessing it's where you're holding Settle on Arena and your opponent has lethal on board so you say Good Game like you're dead to goad them into swinging all out instead of just a couple creatures for lethal.

Basically a non-issue but spoilers aren't out for two more days and gotta get that ~~engagement~~ Kild posted:LSV's bluff maybe? LSVs bluff was motioning for a Vampire token off a flipped Legion's Landing, but Dezani was priced into attacking anyway and LSV mostly did it for meme value.

Don't know if there's a specific example they're talking about but this: https://twitter.com/claire_the_egg/status/1432760109399224323?s=21 Honestly MTGA feels so far removed from playing with another real person to me that there's not much I'd consider "poor sportsmanship" outside of like, intentional slow play to make your opponent want to concede edit: Whoops missed a whole page sorry

Maybe he was just pointing out a random MTG-A game he played and not some event. The LSV token play was amazing and anyone thinking that was scumbagging is just wrong. Settle the wreckage is one of my favorite cards ever printed. I won a small pptq with bogles and the last game of the match was someone attempting to settle my bogle for the win, only to find that it doesn't work when leyline is on the table. Just fun and fair magic.
