It's probably nothing, but has anyone else remembered that Lorwyn/Shadowmoor also had its main plot point be something messing with the day/night cycle?

Sickening posted:Yeah, you got a tad unlucky. A resealable shrink wrap in a bubble mailer is about as good as it gets for shipping cards. unfortunately the carrier hosed you up. It happens. Really? That’s not how cards get shipped in Europe. Here most sellers use old booster packs and use commons to shield the sold cards. Then the whole package is wrapped in bubble wrap.

Like a piece of envelope sized cardboard, with a fitted sleeve over it and the cards grouped and in penny-slips affixed via double sided tape/gel

I know NRG (the big Chicago tournament people since SCG only came to Milwaukee) has mandated for their next 3 large inperson events: 100% masks, and Either proof of vaccination or a negative covid test less than 72 hours old. They're doing Modern in October and I'm hyped. And a team event in November and I'm double Hyped because I managed to get a team together. (Legacy, Modern, Limited) Our Limited player has only played on Arena so I'm expecting a lot of fun when we have to explain the nuance of timing and priority in tournament paper magic.

Esika's Chariot in general seems pretty great in this Standard, lots of 3/x werewolves running around that it just walls.

Yeah, both cards are really strong on their own and combo to be an absolute backbreaker. I've also been impressed with some Lesson/Learn stuff, the ramp options feel really strong in GW.

It's no nice not playing against memory lapse smile It's good but I don't think it's going to dominate standard like I thought previously. The UR Turns deck is very strong and Blood on the Snow decks are very good against W7 (though some of them play W7 too). I do think W7 falls off a cliff if Chariot eats a ban which isn't a zero chance.

Chariot can go ahead and catch an emergency ban on Monday. It's easily the most miserable card in standard.

I played some prereleases last week because of that, I wouldn't have if they allowed unvaccinated people to participate.

I think Chariot is quite strong but I think a fair card. Its still early yet but it does feel like there's enough room in Standard for aggressive, midrange and control decks.

That's a perfectly easy standard mana curve that happens in every game. The power level of chariot I do think is semi problematic. It's a card that is very hard to interact with profitibally because it has both the ETB and attack triggers.

ShaneB posted:There is literally nothing in (non-edh) magic I understand less than people's addiction to this style of deck. You mean graveyard recursion or the "cast a bunch of little spells for a big payoff" decks? I think the move toward Arclight style payoffs is them hitting on a sort of quasi-replacement for Storm. It scratches that same itch in people's brains without having its win condition be quite so binary. It feels more like an actual game, both playing it and playing against it, than just "can I kill them before they go off?" or "did they thoughtseize my payoff?" "Cast a lot of little do-nothing bullshit cards, whoops now you're dead." Feels good. Feels a little like cheating in the same way all good and interesting cards do in this game.

I wouldn't be sad to see the chariot go since I do think that combo is currently hurting the diversity of the format, but I also think continuously expecting Wizards to knife the top cards in the meta and hope it shakes out into something better is itself a problem.
