Oh what's that Treasure Cruise is completely busted in various formats? WHAT A HUGE SURPRISE

As one of the commentators pointed out, we're one week into Khans being legal. That could mean that the format has yet to adjust to it (more people playing Tormod's Crypt over Grafdigger's Cage could hate it out of the format). It could also mean that the deck that capitalizes on it the most has yet to show up.

What deck even runs Daring Thief? I need an excuse to play it.

ROBITS! Your sneaky thief convinces an enemy dude to come play for your team in exchange for a certified pre-owned Ornithopter.

EDIT: I love the idea that Daring Thief is a used car salesman.

Slivers on camera at the SCG open against Jeskai delver. I'm so happy.

Like, slivers in a deck?

Or an actual sliver deck?

I'm wondering if some kind of Jund midrange thing is possible. Ramp into Stormbreath, use the wrath to blow up everything other than Stormbreath.

If Zurgo's not riding a dragon that's going to be a huge missed opportunity.

Also Fateseal is monstrously unfun. It's never coming back.

All of this is to say that Ivan is impressive as gently caress, and I hope to watch him piloting the deck again at other major events.

Watching the SCG deck tech made him seem incredibly intelligent. Dude's on the ball.

Tinfins is so stupid, I love it.

If it is the one I'm thinking off, it was from a highlight from march and it was a very unconventional u/w tempo list.

match: http://www.twitch.tv/scglive/b/513336808?t=1572m30s

I remember that blowing people's minds a few months back, but I thought it was just a rogue deck suited to the meta at the time.

It's always nice to see Ninja of the Deep Hours.

EDIT: Is that a loving Divert in the sideboard? That's gotta be a complete backbreaker if they don't see it coming. Which they won't.

I really like that, it's probably one of my favorite Uncharted Realms. It's interesting, even though I'd say he's pretty clearly mono-black the whole way through, he originally had at least very vaguely noble intentions--put an end to the cycle of destruction that was eating his home plane. I feel like that's a nice example of "Black can still do good things, but in its own way".

That's kind of the opposite of what I got out of it. Like, Ob told himself that he wanted to end war and be in charge of his plane, but when the chips were down what he really wanted was to be the last man standing on a dead world. And once his spark ignited, all he wanted was to do that again and again and again.

If you guys want to blather on about triggering and privilege or whatever the gently caress else, there's a thread for that. Not every thread needs a treatise on how this particular topic is socially progressive/regressive/triggering/loaded with trans-fats. Play the game, enjoy the game, don't be a poo poo.

Aside from the fact that this is just a really lovely opinion for you to have, ignoring the problem is a fantastic way to make sure it never gets solved. And it's absolutely a problem.

That's what the term initially meant, but it's kind of been co-opted by tumblr to refer to literally anything you find objectionable in any way, which is presumably the usage he's mocking.

He's also lumping in people who want girls to be able to play a card game without getting harassed with that crowd. It's completely disingenuous to equate "Hey man, maybe Magic players should be less lovely to girls" with "TRIGGER WARNING: ABELISM".

There's a difference between adapting to a shifting metagame and needing to pack your deck the gills with hate for one particular matchup if you want to have a chance in a tournament. One is the sign of a healthy metagame, one isn't.

This, yeah. When the entire metagame has shifted towards beating a particular strategy and then that strategy still wins, it's a problem.

I occasionally wonder what strange alternate reality some people live in where they think publicly calling someone a human being isn't a fireable offense at the vast majority of workplaces.

If we're actually going to talk about it, it's pretty drat clear from even a cursory glance that gamergate is less about ethics in anything and more about pushback against the ways that gaming has started to lean left and an attempt to silence the people that call out terrible people on being terrible, which is why someone who was fired for publicly calling someone a human being thought it was relevant to toss his hat into the ring.

Literally it's "Wah, it's no longer socially acceptable to call people faggots or use rape as a pejorative :911:

From what I understand, Tibalt is extremely popular as a character despite his card being a pile of wet garbage. I'd be shocked if we didn't see him again in some fashion.

Everyone I know who saw it immediately asked or realized about activating the last ability multiple times.
