Btw, mono black and b/w zombies is a real deck. The budgest b/w version without relentless and lily is what I would play if I was to suggest a deck to someone. The pushes are the only expensive card that is basically mandatory.

Yeah I've bought up most of the zombie stuff since it was all relatively cheap (besides Relentless Dead and Lili cause I'm not about to spend that on those cards) and it's pretty fun too.

The BW zombies list has no relentless dead so I guess it's cheaper. Standard looks to have a few budget friendly decks this season.

Dual lands are more expensive than swamps.

Apparently Wizards is going to offer a limited time play point bundle in time for Iconic Masters draft on MTGO.

This already caused Cardhoarder to drop their ticket buy price to $0.83. Looks like MTGO is going to burn earlier than people thought.

Maybe now is when I buy into a modern deck to jam with some upcoming free time....

Ticket price is still the same, they just lowered what price they're buying them at because the market is going to crash and they don't want to be stuck with worthless tickets when it does.

Not sure if people have seen it, but there's a new Mono Blue Living end deck that utilizes As Foretold that's super spicy.

I'm pretty confident that if I didn't get my dumb rear end banned on Rich Shay's stream, Gleemox would still be legal. Then again, Numot ran into the Oubliette bug in the Pauper Challenge and probably missed top 8 because of it, and it isn't fixed yet, so who knows what actually triggers WotC into taking action.

The fact that both of those people still pump money into MTGO is why.

They'll likely ban something from energy, the question is which card and if they will ban something from a non-energy deck (RR) so it doesn't just replace energy as enemy #1

the environment has been dominated for several months by two archetypes: Temur Energy and Ramunap Red. Together these two archetypes represent more than 40% of the competitive metagame

I guess that sounds better than admitting that Energy was more than 50% of the meta.

Is this the worst Standard ever? Over the last year it's seen eight bans which is on par with Urza and Mirrodin standard, except none of these cards are even memorably powerful. It was just an exhausting, lovely format to play and they used bans to force mid-season rotations because lord knows the new cards wouldn't do it.

I think the changes to rotation and the revert really screwed everything up.

Is this the first time they used MTGO stats like that to justify their actions? I'm out of the loop a bit on standard, so I was caught of guard by them also going after Ramunap Red, but the data made it looks like a pretty good call?

They used data to ban the cat combo 4 days after a B&R announcement.

And yet they couldn't also google that Temur Energy was too strong and very likely to eat a ban? Bans kill decks, boo hoo.

This argument would work better if they weren't banning the top 2 decks of each meta.

Hiding MTGO data really promotes enfranchised pro teams. It's weird looking how it's so different for HS where pros actively release content to explain the meta to the rest of the player base.

The people that were interested in standard already had their playsets of him. When standard is so bad they have to ban stuff, it's not like everyone will come back to the format. They might have already bought into modern/legacy anyways.
