En Fuego posted:For feature matches I kinda wished that they would employ a card holder (something like a scrabble tile holder) and have a 'hole camera' so we/the announcers can see the cards quickly and cleanly. Hahah, they'll just take the cards out of the holder then slide them back in in a different order...then they'll take them out and replace them again in a different order. That'd be hilarious.

Modern will never be a fair format or a level playing field no matter how they govern it. Twin/Bloom gets banned and Eldrazi shines. Ban cards from Eldrazi and some new stupid deck will rule the format and people will still complain. Either allow it all or gently caress the format.

There's a fun Mono White TurboFog deck I top 3'd a local modern event out of like 40 people. Basically you just run all the white fogs (Holy Day, Ethereal Haze, Angelsong, Dawn Charms) and then just have 4 Font of Mythos, Howling Mines some elixirs for recycling and just fill your opponent out. It's stupid and fun and causes which the reaction Back up wincon is just run some Luminarch Ascensions and beatdown with 4/4 Angels. edit: Sideboard Disenchants for Chalice SB tech

I'm sure the deck could be tweaked to run better but it's "Trolly" and nobody will ever expect to play against it. Best of all it's super budget friendly. A friend said about throwing in a singleton Mikokoro but I think it was like $16.00 at the time so I just ran another Plains.

Does Wizards really care that printing them at UC would have made their current price sink like a boulder in the ocean? It's not like they're making money by people buying whatever Alliance packs are left trying to pull one

Orange Fluffy Sheep posted:http://mtgtop8.com/event?e=11774&f=MO Flash forward to 5 months down the line when everyone is playing....(for argument sake) Elves and the entire top 8 of an event is 6 Elf decks. Then people are calling for cards in those decks to be banned because it's unfair or oppressive. It's almost like everything I've been saying the last couple months is 100% accurate

jassi007 posted:That is true. While that is true, it is also true that it is super obvious to anyone who pays attention to formats and the metagame that there is a problem that needs fixed and we're all just waiting until this future date for someone to fix it. It is only a game and all, so it isn't like we can't do something else, but it is just weird that a majority of players and WOTC all agree that action is needed, but WOTC says "we just have to wait for this date we set." I get the logic of not just acting rashly or prematurely, but I think it is safe to say we're beyond that point. We've seen a lot of games online, at events etc, we know the issue isn't one that can be solved by players and new strategies/decks/etc. Acting at this point would no longer be considered hasty or premature. Right now there is an odd choice "play this broken deck" or "just wait for another month" I find a company that tells me to check back with them in a month to enjoy their product which they currently acknowledge isn't working is odd, when they could fix it today. I guess they don't want my money? Ok, so let me ask you then. What is your end game in the Modern format? Obviously, the goal of the game is to win faster than your opponent can so in that context what form of achieving that goal is acceptable to you and the community. Obviously, things like Twin and Amulet could win the game quickly so the community complained until cards were banned. Now, people are playing Eldrazi because of it and the same people are complaining about it and want the cards from it to be banned. At what point does this link of thinking stop? You kill the Eldrazi decks and then people will start brewing new powerful decks that go infinite and dominate the format once again creating this never ending loop of "unfair decks" Will you ever view the format at completely stable with no needed changes or revisions? Like Sigma said people will spend $500 on these decks only to have them abolished months down the line and people are going to abandon the format more than they already are.

MiddleEastBeast posted:I don't have a strong view on WoTC's stance re: Eldrazi bans, but just wanted to point out that conflating the reasons why Eldrazi will/should have pieces banned out to bring it back to earth with those for why Amulet/Twin was nerfed isn't really fair. But, the only reason these Eldrazi decks exist is because of the bannings to Bloom and Twin which at the time were dominators in the format. No one was playing Eldrazi in the Bloom/Twin world of Modern. These decks are a direct result of those bannings. By banning Temple/Eye you're going to wreck these decks and people are just going to brew some new format dominating deck which people will play and then we're back to the initial argument of what cards should we ban now since everyone is playing (insert new deck)
