The first FNM tournament I played I got Splinter Twinned out.

That poo poo rolls downhill from the top tables, and there are probably people that pay enough attention at your store and are willing to buy 4 Saheeli.

My second sealed event (MMA) I got Splinter Twinned out. I had 1 good card in my entire pool with literal 0 fixing so that really helped me with my decision 7to say screw it and go home. Getting my Oona legend ruled away and having my opponent play a 2nd Oona next turn was the last straw.

Obviously they can't have Reflector Mage and Cat Combo legal at the same time though. Ban Cat, unban the other 3 sounds fine to me. Or gently caress it unban everything and let the cat combo take over and then ban standard and make everyone play Pauper for a season.

So now instead of playing a format where you play an aggro deck or a combo deck or you just lose, people will... play a format where you play an aggro deck or a combo deck or you just lose except there's no combo deck!

I played against something really close to this in paper before. The deck can't beat a Karakas ever.

I kind of thought the card was nonsense, but in practice in Zvi's deck it's super good. Getting the Pervert and Rhonas out at the same time is just beatdown city.

This list would be so much better with Heart of Kiran, and not going so hard on Hazoret, and just ditching Lupine Prototype. I think Hazoret may be a one or two of finisher at best. In a deck that wants to discard I also think the on color aftermath cards get way better. Insult//Inury and Mouth//Feed in both seem good, a Harmonize you can cast from your graveyard seems alright, especially when the front half is call of the herd.

Bomat Courrier just seems like it isn't a card. Voltaic Brawler and the new mythic rare that gives an extra attack phase both seem good to me. An energy sub theme also makes longtusk cub and Bristling Hydra a lot better, and hydra is extremely good at dodging removal. Arlinn Kord is also probably worth testing.

If Cat didn't exist we would see decks like B/G delirium reoccurring Ishkanah or G/W tokens keeping Mardu in check. The format will be so much better, and if they unban reflector mage so U/W has a chance again that would be great. Emrakul deserves to be gone without a doubt, and the copter to a lesser extent. I don't think Heart of Kiran is nearly as busted.

So for most normals, does anything actually change? Did RPTQs have entry fees before? Glad they can continue to make people pay for everything they have to do in the game, even if they won a PPTQ and transported themselves to the RPTQ.

Also based on the most recent sets, I will predict Ixalan PT to be the most boring PT in recent memory.

Seems like "Mesopotamia" would be too similar in flavor to our current Egypt world, especially for the same group of world culture rubes that didn't "get" what Kamigawa was trying to do with Japanese mythology. It would make for a cool setting if done right though.
