well there is the booster pack side of it but then there is also the major trends of boardstate simplification, creature relevancy and bringing blocking back to constructed. Theres always lots of talk about how it wasn't the modern faceplate that heralded the change but something like alara or...

isn't NWO all about creature combat and an era where spells are subjected to the rule of creatures? Like a lot of proponents of NWO are always extolling the horror of the bad old days where people won with their vedalkan shackles, a single copy of a blinking spirit or by tutoring for multiple...

I like the late format RW decks. I liked that against all of Maro's wishes and against all modern discussion of new world order improvement the best endgame deck in the format was a bullshit wincondition-less 8 wrath deck that tried to merely outlast every opponent. Theros was an interesting...

This set seems great for standard and it really ups the removal density, speed and variety in limited. The draft format is going to be quite different with so much emphasis being put on 2 colour pairs and 4/4 fliers. I don't think it's very fair to be treating this like a normal block and this...

Same thing : )

Did you get to venser anyones land?

Are we human or are we dancers?

2/1 flying flash isn't too bad just in general

to me it's a personal insult. I guess it might be okay with eidolon.

I sorta prefer good blockers to good attackers in black so that cat demon sorta interests me. It does seem kinda complicated to have something to exploit, but even control decks now usually play a tonne of creatures. So many draw on death triggers in this block it's nuts! Foul Renewal is...

Having your opponent play the spell you wanted to take with maggot feels like shit and it's even worse when they remove it with the card you wanted to take. If you are playing with someone who knows how to play magic the fiend is just a card with less feel bad to it for the player and if you...

I think I've written on here enough about how the decks with the most cards no one else wants tend to get access to premium removal /staples most. It's because Savannah Lions are great in your deck but table. Control decks don't have a lot of cards that do that except stuff like expensive wraths...

so wait didnt you have any of your own stuff going on? I feel like if someone draws all their expensive bounce guys and tricks and you're drawing a little light then it's kinda alright that they take a game or so off of you. To me complaining about having your land vensered is kinda like...

No Grillo... I love fiend, I hate maggot. I don't know why people keep missing that. Often Maggot feels super awful to me in any format I'd want to play 2 power 1 drops or pushed 3-4 drops. Fiend is ludicrously more fun to play with, offers more options to you, and removes a very important one...

No I don't think removal is your best descriptor of power level lol. Usually when describing busted formats you aren't talking about how the threats were unequal to the removal lol. I know there were formats where control was dominant but still those tended to be very endgame formats and you...

let it destroy lands and we are talkin If you are making serious use of Stone Rain or Demolish type effects in your BW deck then I feel like you've earned unfooting the control and midranged decks (unless they suck already). Plus it's hardly a problem if your removal spells cost 2 generally lol...

Wait fiend is the only one that does anything interesting with sac outlets right? I love fiend and hate maggot. like its so bad when they can just kill your dude in response it's like blarg and the body is sooooo irrelevant without tricks

I don't understand people who like brain maggot. a 2 mana 1/1 that makes them use a removal spell on the card that shouldn't be in your deck? Am I the only one here that sees fiends primary use as: A) Removing the removal spell from their hand to short term advantage and possible even getting...

I'm pretty dubious about how often it's removal or die, like by the time you have your pack rat chugging your opponent should have their own shit going on, it's 3 mana and a card to do stuff with it and players play cards that provide value or have bodies above the curve in cube. Like I've had...

I quite like packrat in a number of riptide cubes because usually removal keeps up with it pretty well, you don't have access to 4 vaults and most only let you play slow value gaveyard strategies and not outright reanimator, so its nice to have another vector of attack / something that can...
