Kozilek has been busy loving off in ~THE VOID~ or something, so it makes sense that his return would bring a whole lot of hosed up poo poo with it. That, along with the new art for Kozilek being new while also completely matching the style of the artist it's being credited toward and the general flavor of the bismuth thing associated with Kozilek, it's either real or a fake made by somebody close to WotC who is probably losing their job as we speak.

When the standard format consists of decks that cost over a grand that wipe the floor with all other decks that don't, people tend to not play that format as much. This standard is one of the worst we've had since LOR/ALA, imo.

Khans standards have been hot loving garbage and I say that as someone who lived through Faeries/Jund/5CC standards back to back to back. Once that block rotates and we have a standard without both fetchduals and Siege loving Rhino I think the platform built off of BFZ for standard will be really interesting.

Yawgmoth posted:I think they should make a format where the ban list is "literally every card over $10 TCG mid" and see what happens. As soon as the format gets popular cards that are good in it will get more expensive and thus ban themselves out of play, then drop as a result, going in infinite cycles of rapid banlist changes. It would be fun as gently caress but you'd basically have to build a new deck at least once a week.

There are more powerful 7+ drops than Karn, they just required colored mana usually in spades. Cruel Ultimatum comes to mind. Karn is so strong because you can play him turn 3-4 off of entirely colorless mana. If he required 2+ colored mana or Tron lands weren't a thing, he would be mediocre at best.

People getting upset about the Twin ban completely baffle me. 90% of the deck's value is in the lands and snapcasters, which aren't going anywhere and can just be slotted into grixis control or something. Twin has had it coming for a long drat time, the only thing to be upset about is that it didn't happen sooner tbh.

So now that GR Tron has lost a bunch of its bad matchups and Bx Eldrazi is becoming a thing, I'm seriously considering putting U Tron together since it's really solid against both of those decks. What the bloody hell do I do against Zoo and Jund, other than pray?

Why is there such a massive price difference in the expedition filter lands? It's not like any of them get played in anything outside of EDH for there to be stratified demand.

suicidesteve posted:A very well-reasoned argument indeed. A deck that forces your opponent to do essentially nothing after your turn three because you have the power to win on the spot out of an empty board is something that should not exist in modern, and thus can get hosed. Twin has needed a ban for years. If the metagame is bad after its banning, ban/unban more poo poo.

It's almost like not having to dedicate half your sideboard to beating Twin means you can dedicate those slots to the deck everyone thinks is going to be the next most oppressive, wow. 4 tec edge in the board is pretty lulzy though.

Flagstones is good pretty much exclusively because it can grab shocks. Ghost Quarter on your own Flagstones is pretty good fixing if you don't need to blow up an opponent's land, and makes a pile of Ghost Quarters in the main feasible. E: Also boom. Never forget Boom.
