Yeah, that change was also pretty popular. I remember the first change to the legend rule (i.e. the last one stays instead of the first one) was also a vast improvement. No more "who is the first to play Lin-Sivvi" bullshit.

I agree with most of your set judgments, but not you conclusion. I count a lot more than two bad and/or unexciting (which is just as bad) sets. More importantly however, the problem is not the third set, the problem is three sets. A good third set has often been part of a block with another bad...

Alara Reborn has got nothing on Fifth Dawn in my mind. That set sucked me right back into Magic after two years of not playing. Bet those two weren't the cards you expected met to list though :)

Pestilence is not at all overpowered in Peasant constructed. It is a fun card though, and I did play the classic Pestilence + Cemetery Gate combo :) There are multiple decks that can beat you though, and enchantment removal can be prevalent depending on the meta (Wispmare and Bonesplitter make...

Journey into Nyx (at the expense of Born of the Gods), Rise of the Eldrazi, Fifth Dawn and Apocalypse. Edit: Small third sets. Oops, strike Rise then.

Super duper awesome news. I am stoked. And I don't even play Standard! This might be their best decision in ages, coming from someone who firmly supported damage off the stack and the new border.

Yeah, I'm now looking at an add for TypeTopia, a gamefied typing course. The last (blind) typing test I did (for a recruitment agency) I was too quick for the test because it was calibrated for non-IT personel. I don't think I need that typing course :D

I need to get one.

Hey, I get appropriate adverts! magiccardmarket.eu is one of my favorite sites, and certainly one of the sites where I spent the most digital money (together with amazon and steam probably).

Oh Peasant. I used to be a driving force behind that format in our local community, until I largely withdrew from tournaments to spend more time with my family. I even ran a blog with deck lists etc: peasantmagicgroningen.blogspot.com. Two guys took over when I quit, but despite their efforts...

I strongly dislike the fact that if all my dudes had been green but otherwise the same, I could have won the game. I'm not saying I would have, but chumping with a guy that would get shocked anyway is better than taking 3+ to the face and having your opponent draw a card. With protection from a...

I think we have to agree to disagree here, because I hate Sword of Fire and Ice as much as any other Sword of X and Y in limited. I lost to it multiple times playing a red deck, and boy would I have loved to chumpblock with a do-nothing creature while winning the damage race on the crackback...

Yeah. I dislike all the swords in limited because I dislike permanent protection in limited. Even if {u/r} isn't doing a lot of blocking, it is doing a lot of removing creature with burn and bounce, and that gets shut down as well. I don't want to run any Swords of X and Y in my cube, ever.

Ten and one green mana source is enough for Helix Pinnacle :)

Yeah, I was a bit tongue in cheek there, Grafted Wargear is certainly top of the line. It's the best equipment I want to run, as Jitte and Swords are OP bullshit and Batterskull is just a little too much in a lower powered cube.

Zombies have been linked with self-mill in Innistrad. When there are multiple cards that let you see/rearrange the top card(s) of your library, self-milling becomes better. Green has a precedent for caring about top of your library in Mul Daya Channelers. There's also the uncommon cycle in...

You mean... Kitchen Finks Lingering Souls ? ;) But yeah, that looks plenty nasty.

Got my first games in yesterday, and it was AWESOME! I didn't expect a bunch of (mainly) commons and uncommons to provide so much play. Our one and two-drops were relevant into the late game, land sequencing felt relevant, and we had a lot of though-provoking gamestates, where playing your cards...

And they have great flavor text :)

The Raptors, the Pyromancers and the Pridemates were played if I remember correctly, but I didn't play their decks. This wasn't the playgroup to appreciate the slow card advantage Life from the Loam can generate, and the Grim Guardians ended up in my sideboard when I was diverted from my plan of...
