Angry Grimace posted:Barry's Land has been a stupid vanity project since its conception just to do because they can, but I'd argue that they found a good reason for it to exist, which is a basic land for EDH. RG Landfall is already playing Thunderbreak Regent. This fits the deck better in that it does something the turn in comes into play... It's better flood insurance too.

Angry Grimace posted:The biggest problem is that Ensnaring Bridge is a card that can't be beat by very many decks at all and combo'd with Blood Moon just causes a very quick soft-lock to the game. I think Bridge going to be banned sooner or later simply because there are so many decks that cannot ever beat it with any cards in their arsenal. Is Bridge even in any T1 decks? I think it's super far from the Ban Hammer.

Yeah that is reasonable. And the loser plays the deck of the winner's choice in a big legacy event?

Did you think Avenger of Zendikar was going to be in BFZ because it was the face card of the duel with Oblivion Sower? how about Polukranos and Sun Titan? Where you expecting a Sun Titan reprint??? I feel like people are getting very worked up about this.. I don't really pay attention to the other Duel Decks and I didn't think it would've been crazy if Avenger of Zendikar was reprinted.

Her -2 is a pseudo anthem which could be really sweet along with Gideon anthems in a token based strategy, like maybe Atarka red v She isn't aggressive at all... and she's terrible on T3. There is no way she's going to get played in aggressive decks.

jassi007 posted:Sure ignore the rest of his post for that one tiny breadcrumb. 7k stream viewers is, by twitch streaming numbers for other games, not great. They aren't making poo poo off the stream. The stream is just a giant infomercial for the events. if you don't go to the events and spend money they aren't making money. That is also a bad argument. People who do infomercials/commercials make a lot of money.

Read your own posts before you call me dense. We have no idea what SCG's income statement looks like but even if he can't get paid a decent salary from SCG he should definitely be able to work for WOTC since he's pretty widely viewed as the best at what he does. These are large organizations with big ad budgets.

Cactrot posted:I think what was actually happening is that Patrick was a contract employee for Activision who got moved to a permanent salaried position and ended up making more money without needing to work weekends. This is probably what happened. I agree. But my point is that the chances that he's as good at whatever he's doing at Activision as he is at MTG Coverage is low and it sucks that he can't make a good living doing that.
