Captain Invictus posted:yeah, they look great. but unless the entire pack of those collector boosters is like that, it still ain't worth it, and even if it is all like that I don't think it's worth it They likely aren't since it was a mistake, https://youtu.be/2i3ygmFvbNs After the guy opened them out of his first box of CL2 Collectors he opened the second on camera. Looking at some of the leaked cards it seems like the styles are meant to evoke a variety of planes and previous sets showcases. The Blood Artist is in the Dracula style, Wall of Omens is a Theros mosaic, Eternal Witness is Ixalan. Macdeo Lurjtux fucked around with this message at 02:02 on Jun 7, 2022 |

The writing was on the wall for a while now and I thought I’d be at least a little sad to see Winota go, but I guess I don’t care that much actually lol. Thank god EI is gone, what a hosed up card.

I feel like pioneer should stop banning fun combo poo poo and instead introduce better answers or something. They pre-emptively banned kethis combo and that wasn't even good in historic. Though I guess this means that Hidden Strings is the official approved combo deck of Pioneer

The Winota ban is kind of interesting because, at least from my Pioneer experience (I have no idea what the actual data says, I might be completely wrong), while the deck is T1 I don't think it's substantially better than the other T1 decks. What it IS though, is really loving coin flippy and annoying. I know losing in general is annoying, but poo poo just feels worse when a spin is involved. IDK if the format is any better in terms of like meta game balance, but I think it just got a lot more pleasant for everyone except for all the people that bought out all the Winotas a few months ago.

in the grander context of magic I think it's fine if explorer is the "do big things and go bigger than your opponent" format as long as the other eternal formats have some kind of unique identity that isn't that. different strokes for different folks. but in the context of arena, yeah I'd rather there be a decent aggro deck or control deck instead of the endless midrange omnath/agent of treachery/ob nix continue-throwing-cards-at-each-other-until-someone-dies metagame I don't play much pioneer so I can't speak to its meta, but I imagine it's relatively similar to explorer if a bit more diverse

Part of the reason why the BR midrange decks are all over Explorer is because I think once Winota ate poo poo it was the best deck that loses the least moving from Pioneer to Explorer.

WotC is claiming they've got enough data on winrates to say that it's not oppressive. Have there been enough tournaments with public results to say otherwise?

Though I guess this means that Hidden Strings is the official approved combo deck of Pioneer WDYM, the only cards premtively banned in pioneer were Fecthes and Lurrus. Everything else had time to exist and prove its banning?

Been saying this since like 2013. It's "the format identity" which means they never will, no matter how unhealthy it is for the format.

Banning fetches was dumb. It doesn't help speed up matches, there is still tons of shuffling. The worst delve offenders shouldn't exist in the format anyway. Fetches are a popular set of cards they could just reprint.

I'm okay with the Fetch ban. I don't think they're busted, but I do think they add a bunch of shuffle time, and it serves to help give the format more of an identity imo. There's an argument to be made that they should never have been printed ever!

Honestly the main thing about fetches is they make mana good enough theres rarely any actual consequences for being three colors. The original dual lands are also pretty boring for the same reason, theres no actual choice involved in running either

i don't think fetches are overpowered but they are very powerful and them not existing in the format does change the feel of it a lot in a pretty successful way imo

TBF I think Modern in particular being so many 4c piles these days is enabled by W6 combined with fetches. You saw 3c decks before W6, and 4/5c briefly with astrolabe completely ruining the format, but those decks also had to fetch shocks or they couldn't really function, so blood moon was a more effective punisher Nowadays you've got the greedy 4c decks side boarding blood moon themselves sometimes

expressive iteration is a really loving good card that's been really good for a long while and is also generically good enough that it's hard to not include it in any deck in those colors. winota is a dumb combo that's been dumb for ages and has proven to outlast the meta working to try to defeat it greasefang combo is dumb but it's a single, new combo deck with cards that aren't generically good + i think it's just now in the position of 'let's see if the meta shifts to bring it down to better levels and if not it'll be on the block for next time'

Expressive is like the 100th most played card in explorer. It's not a problem AT ALL in that format. It's another story in Pioneer because you have the delve cards legal.
