Lot of people want to play with stoneforge which means lot of people want to play with path which means you want protection from path. I think whether you play the white/black sword or white/red sword prob comes down to which effects you'd rather proc

Drawing a card and dealing damage are the two greatest pleasures in magic, so I'd always play with fire and ice first personally

They're a shapeshifter and instead of having a cool art where they're changing forms or something cool it's just some dude lounging around

Remember that the set started purely as aurthurian myth with no fairy tales. Its very likely that there were even more game of thrones influences before the fairy tales took over.

Also its called Throne of Eldraine

Playing in an Open tomorrow and trying to decide between UW and Bant Stoneblade in Modern. I'd like to hear people's thoughts on those decks, I know UW's got the better record overall, it seems like the more consistent option but Bant is powerful in it's own right and I really like a lot of the cards played in Bant shells.

im not saying you should play bant, i'm just saying you get to play with baleful strix with bant snowblade

It's like the lore team, who wasn't even working there when "I want a banana this big" went on a card, have life-breaking PTSD from it.

Like "this fanfiction about Recess where Spinelli is in high school and a goth now and TJ smokes drugs" is the most important thing they've ever created and it's SERIOUS.

spinelli wouldn't be goth, she'd have been butch, this fanfic is TRASH

I have not watched the entire series for reasons but I like how apparently, later in the show, rules of the game actually start to matter and Kaiba needs to sacrifice two monsters to summon Blue-Eyes rather than just playing it straight from his hand like characters did early on in the show

honestly the early episodes that i've pushed through give me a headache because so many rules of the game are straight up ignored and yugi only ever seems to win by some sort of cheating

Yugi has the superpower of cheating, that's what the heart of the cards nonsense was, literally willing the perfect card to the top of his deck

Not even that, but also things like the "I'LL ATTACK THE MOON TO AFFECT THE TIDE" nonsense that he just made up on the fly that also, somehow, works. Dude just plays the classic game of "I win" that little kids play where rules are changed and the only one that does not is that they will always win.

Eh I was always willing to turn a blind eye to that since both players would do it and to be perfectly honest I love cheesy poo poo like attacking the moon or turning the game field into a labyrinth or using a time wizards power to turn a dragon into a fossil or...

And by "maxed out" you mean leveling up all the way to the top?

That does actually seem pretty good, although that level grind seems daunting

As far as f2p games go it's pretty lenient, like you can go a couple days of no play and still keep up in quests and stuff. I made it to 100 and def didn't have to grind quests or whatever

Someone in the Modern Jund subreddit asked about swapping Questing Beast for Bloodbraid Elf or Huntmaster of the Fells in 4 CMC slot and I was basically like "that's bad and you're bad for thinking that" and now I'm thinking that I may owe that person an apology.

I don't play modern but offhand it doesnt seem like a terrible tool to have, the only thing I'd be leery on is that huntmaster and bloodbraid are two for ones while questing beast doesn't have that

Oko really does mess pretty badly with a longstanding weakness of UG; that it sucks really badly at dealing with “answer me or die” creatures. I would almost go so far as to call it a colour pie break.

I think the pongify would have been immensely more "in color" if it was a minus. That way they couldn't just blast your creature every turn. As it stands it's basically a kill spell as a plus, which I believe they've never done before since that seems pretty obviously broken!
