Thanks to everyone who tuned in, I think that was the best stream yet in terms of quality. I switched to OBS, which ran much better than xsplit. Added a webcam and a better mic, and things ran great. Highlight of the night.

Holy shit that was the most amazing cube sequence!
Hallowed moonlight is good against unfair decks like twin and reanimator right?
It's really fucked up that both squelch and shadows aren't really good enough to be anything but ringers.
I almost forgot though, medium white cards are often arithmetic better than choice blue cards right? There's just less room, a worse deck around and honestly blue decks can play white (they don't need half sideboard cards half cantrips they've got the bloody sb cards and good cantrips)

What in the lords name did you even say there. I can't begin to parse that!

Lemmie fill you in with some card tags:
The second bit is (I think) the admission that blade splicer and brimaz are probably better than man-o-war and co. Blue has less room for dorky but powerful 3-4 drops because of all the strong control cards that usually get included, and the difference between Hallowed Moonlight and Ponder is night and day, plus blue has strong cards that fill niche needs like vapor snag or remand that work fine in the maindeck, but can be devestating against certain archetypes, like unsummon against an auras based stratgy, or remanding a delve spell (That happened to me quite a few times last draft)
I wrote an article today. Fingers crossed!
Also played BFZ sealed with my brother today. Put together this really fun 4-color control deck, probably the most fun I've ever had playing Sealed.
Also, new Kiora is a really cool design. I'm a fan.

Thinking about building the Eldrazi Domain cube on MTGO. Would that be interesting to anyone else?

Damnit "Pod" is too short to search on these forums, but nobody ever types out birthing pod

Also huh, we don't seem to actually have a dedicated pod thread. There's that one where someone wasn't actually that hot on it and we all convinced them to add it because it's like 3-4 cards in your green section for a whole new deck, but nowhere where we're like: so what does a good pod list look like?
Make a thread.
Is this not a Birthing Pod Thread? I remeber it starting out as one, but then again, its a Riptide Thread...

True but a primer of sorts would be kind of cool. A place to keep all the cool pod cards
The original Pod thread happened way back in the Google group, in yonderyear.

That must have been it!
That's the one where we all wen't "Just run it, it's a whole deck for 3 cards
"
