I cannot believe he is going to stream again.

I understand what you're saying... but I also would have been quite surprised if he'd stopped streaming. I think it's his only source of income, I don't think he believes he did anything really wrong, and I also think he'll still get viewers (probably less, but maybe not by much - and possibly some new ones).

Before all this came out, I was kind of sad for the guy, as he already seemed to be kind of coming untethered as a human being after quitting teaching.

Eli Kassis's Jeskai list is so insanely smart, it was absolutely perfect for that weekend.

*0 creatures main, removal are completely dead spells
*Gateway over Azcanta to get live cards faster and win faster
*Banefire main to trump the control MUs and have an extra x spell for Gateway
*Settle + Seal Away to deal with both kinds of Phoenix and Adanto Vanguard
*Rekindlings in the SB as an incredibly hard to deal with threat after you board out most removal
*Revitalize in the SB against opposing Banefires
*The Immortal Sun in the SB because it's less vulnerable than Teferi
*Ixalan's Binding in the SB for drake phoenix decks

It has a lot of ways to beat each plan from GB - Carny T, Planeswalkers, or the grind out. It has a major advantage in control mirrors between Gateway and Banefire. It has lots of good answers to drakes and phoenixes and Adanto Vanguards. And it is doing something powerful besides playing Teferi so it has a higher power level against random decks.

Edit: gently caress Todd Stevens. SCG needs to share their investigation with WOTC, and WOTC needs to ban him.

Yeah it's basically my favorite metagaming choice in as long as I can remember. I still don't like Azor's Gateway that much at least for FNM play, but I'll try it.

Yeah, everyone now agrees "gently caress Todd Stevens." Not a whole lotta fence sitters, just people who think women should be sexually harassed and people who think Todd Stevens should go gently caress himself.

your last 3 bans were for

-using a slur (that you couldn't even spell correctly)
-talking about the president raping someone (again with misspellings)
-suggesting that a politician leak the name of a sexual assault victim

normally we all laugh and clap when people post those types of things, i agree that it's unfair that the mods single you out for them

We did an Innistrad draft for Halloween.
I drafted pretty much THE innistrad dream deck and managed not to win a single game with it:

Hinterland harbor
2x Boneyard Wurm
Kessig Cagebreakers
Spider Spawning
Gnaw to the bone
Wreath of Geists
2x Armored Skaab
Selhoff Occultist
Stitcher's Apprentice
Makeshift Mauler
Curse of the Bloody Tome
Ghoulcaller's Bell
Deranged Assistant
Dream Twist
Mulch
Make a Wish
and 9 other less related cards, and basics

I even lost one by milling myself out. I passed a sulfur falls, a stony silence, and a witchbane orb to take on-color stuff.

I know... it looks like it should have been pretty loving good. But opponents just seemed to have a lot of removal and smoother, lower mana curves than me every time. And one game I forgot I had already milled Gnaw and could have cast it. D'oh. Red tempo is really fuckin good in Innistrad limited

that deck looks really short on creatures

e: wreath of geists and boneyard wurm are not very good iirc, and ghoulcallers bell and curse of the bloody tome aren't very good either. You want some more men

a bunch of those "other" cards were creatures, just didnt list them out cause they werent so much on the graveyard theme. the card that did the most work for for me tonight was fortress crab. and I gotta disagree on ghoulcallers bell. that thing was outstanding
