only way to make a spindown a fair roll is to swallow it and fire it out your rear end.

CubeTheory posted:This happened to me at a PTQ once: So under the current rules your opponent would have gotten a game rule violation - Game play error in the first situation and you would maybe have gotten a warning for failure to maintain game state which can never upgrade to a game loss. For the second one at worst you would have gotten a deck problem infraction for marked cards, again a warning unless only the lands were boxed or something with an obvious pattern. Your opponent could instead have gotten an unsportsmanlike conduct warning if you could prove they boxed your cards. Two different violations would not upgrade (you upgrade on the third same violation now and different warnings count differently. Two hidden card errors and a looking at extra cards would not upgrade because they're different things even though they're all game rule violations. Failure to maintain game state is essentially toothless because it never can upgrade, it's just a finger wag to encourage you to pay better attention.)

Its also totally predictable as WOTC is a poo poo company. Invoke is the "if we can't ban Sheoldred because money, what other bone can we throw?".

The first yearly ban list update is August 7th. That's not that far away and likely why they only targeted the extremely obvious problems on this one.

The yearly ban this year is focused on older formats and unlikely to have further standard bans unless something is extremely egregious. Sheoldred got significantly weakened by these at least

I don't understand how, looking at the problems with standard, their conclusion that a good way to address it was a yearly ban cadence. Do people really avoid participating because they fear their centerpiece will be banned? Or do they find the format unengaging and solved with clear winners, hence keeping it static for even longer periods exacerbating the problem? My money is on the latter but what do I know.

Sheoldred now being weak to leyline binding and ossification is huge. Anyone who doesn’t think the rakdos deck got gutted here is wild. I do kinda wonder about some breach deck taking over but we’ll see

Anecdotally, yes, newer and less enfranchised players are actually very reticent to buy into a rotating format and are generally opposed to their favorite cards potentially getting banned under a more active ban philosophy. I virtually never hear new or intermediate players complaining about stagnation or solved formats, but I hear people express reluctance to buy into good decks for fear of bans or too-soon rotations with regularity.

Finding a format stale really is just a sign that you’ve been playing too long and should go do something else

I was expecting them to take a less conservative approach. I guess they didn’t want to spook card owners, but I really was hoping for more of a format refresh.

They have to be real subtle about caring, but the fact a pack can contain a card valued at several times the cost of the pack, without having to officially acknowledge this, is very much a boon they enjoy having.

I think if the whole point of the rotation change is to stop feelbads from having cards rotate out frequently, not banning a bunch of poo poo that doesn’t need to be banned makes sense. I wish they would ban more stuff, but it’s logically consistent. I think the quality of Standard gameplay is pretty high right now even if certain cards show up way too frequently, so I’m optimistic these changes, while minor, will shake things up and Standard will trend upward. 5c ramp is a really cool deck that seems well positioned right now.

Format freshness is just the opposite of the specific problem they were trying to solve when they talked about the upcoming efforts to revitalize standard.

Won't hold my breath though.

Did a draft with some friends this weekend, brothers war, but we wound up playing 4 player. The games were fun and were all friends so it worked out, but I kinda feel like draft is not well suited to that kind of multiplayer, wonder if next time we might try Two Headed Giant or something just to streamline things. Ironically social desire to not just completely dogpile and wipe out the person most vulnerable or behind turned into losses for us, I even got decked out in one game lol. I also lost a game by going for a big play early just to bump someone out because he was making pasta and couldn't start till game was over lol. I got him out but was empty handed with no answers or blockers.
