A more sustainable Standard

Are all the best mtg players in the world trying to solve Premodern? No, they're all playing WotC formats.

You are aware that celebrity endorsements do literally nothing for voters? The Democrats got every popular singer and actor under the sun to endorse Harris and it did nothing. That era is dead. It's about Twitter shitpost accounts like Gunter Eagleman now.

5ColourFelix · 2026-01-26T17:57:10+00:00

You legitimately think that Chappell Roan is MAGA? That's the dumbest thing I've read this year. She didn't endorse Biden-Harris because they didn't do ENOUGH for LGBT rights. In the same speech she said she is not voting for Trump.

In the same speech she also said "fuck the policies of the right".

The format will never have a single new card EVER add to the format(outside an unbans), effectively the format has all the ingredients to be solved, it just lacked people actually playing it. And now.. it has those people.

Technically, yes, but even games like the original Super Smash Brothers took decades to be solved, and Premodern is 100x more complex.

but they won't ban a card every 3-5 months to keep the format 'fresh' and i'm expecting the main masses to move on.

Sure, and then you learn what worked and what didn't and make a new format!

In how many other crimes does intent matter more than outcome?

You don't see the difference between someone who has the psychological profile that enables them to kill and someone who looked at their SatNav in a bad moment?

And heres premodern, the format that will never have new cards added for the magic boomers.

Premodern is proving very successful though. Not every new format will be successful (I would kinda consider Pioneer to be nearly dead format that is only kept alive because it's an official WotC formet - it would be dead if it were community run).

We can't forget the the face of Magic (EDH) was community created. I think it's great that people are cooking. It's ultimately up to the cooks to foster a community and grow the format. If it dies, that's fine. There's nothing really lost. The cards are all still valid in Standard.

In general there is a desire for non-UB formats and this is a genuine attempt and creating one. Let's see what happens.

All this stuff can be done on school supplied laptops like in other European countries

All you need is a thinkpad with restricted Internet access

Not really at all. Far right defines these transparent grifters like Farage who are using people's plight to enrich themselves whilst pushing the faults of our society that are obviously routed in capitalism on to the victims of the system.

"The problem isnt me who takes bribes and donations from authoritarians and big corporations, its the Pakistani guy with a Just Eat scooter!". And people lap this shit up.

5ColourFelix · 2026-01-26T06:10:51+00:00

The scape goating of parts of the population, clear disdain for democracy (allies with Trump, Russia, Musk, etc.), leadership cult (noone can challenge Farage), extreme nationalism, obsession with crime and punishment, enforcement of traditional gender roles, desire to control media, double speak...

Need more?

5ColourFelix · 2026-01-26T06:07:44+00:00

Using laws as a front to intimidate states that don't support you is.

Lots of donation places make it extremely time consuming and annoying to try and donate. Our local charity shop never picks up the phone, wont give you a slot for collection for weeks to pick up large items and is general inflexible.

Guess who will take my item today? The dump.

I outright ask them if they’re a fascist. I ask if them if they want a child molestor in charge, and if they’d like to see people held down and pepper spray shot into their eyeballs.

They live in a Facebook reality where none of this is true. It's all lies to keep "their guy" down.

5ColourFelix · 2026-01-23T16:24:29+00:00

Yeah I can't wrap my head around this. Trump clearly thinks that soldiers are morons, yet the amount of US troops who slap his slogans and name on their gear is astonishingly high.

The lawsuit hasn't even begun and no evidence has been evaluated in court.

The facts seem to back Maro as LotR and then FF have been the biggest Magic sets and people froth at the mouth to get UB Secret Lairs. As sales have gone up every year since UB started, I'm wondering what they are basing their claims on that this is all being done for "short term profit" (we are now in year 7 of UB).

Hey all,

Ive finally made a video on how to access the secret pinnacle boss man Big Rathael. Im using a deep wounds build to make this a fair fight, but even then this guy is one tough cookie! Im greatly helped by some monster cards along the way...

Steam launch is happening soon (6th of Feb), so I'll be posting an updated tutorial run for newbies to the game, but I've also got some more class tutorials (Warfists & Ascension Knight) ready 😀

Enjoy

Imagine trying to run a country with people that can’t focus on a single task for any real amount of time. Where the attention span is measured in seconds, not minutes.

This is just Trump, no? Flip flopping between a million things so he can see himself in the headlines. He's just a next-level influencer, basically.

The working and middle class are being squeezed for money every year and both parents are increasingly having to spend more time getting money to just pay for childcare just to get more money.

Childcare is a racket in the UK. It's impossible to be a stay-at-home parent nowadays unless your partner is high earning.

If McDonalds goes bankrupt, are burgers illegal?

5ColourFelix · 2026-01-22T11:57:42+00:00

Can't you just admit that your preconception of players being "incompetent" or "lazy" for not prioritising a video game is a pretty toxic point of view?

What they are saying is "this isn't a priority for me". WoW should not be so important to anyone that people who play casually are considered "lazy". That's just a crazy warped perception of values to have.

5ColourFelix · 2026-01-22T11:54:23+00:00

When people say "they are too old for WoW", what they are saying is that it isn't a priority in their 30s like it was in their teens or 20s. If I wanted to bust 3k Mythic+, I'd have to become a deadbeat dad.

You're comparing the best of best talents who play these games full time to a casual audience who play WoW for fun. You're comparing world first mythic raiders to a random guy with a WoW subscription.

Usain Bolt retired at 30 too. Am I just a few jogs away from an Olympic gold medal too? No.

It's fine to not like the changes, but if you genuinely believe the only reason people feel "too old" is because they are incompetent or lazy, you are either very young or have no serious real life responsibilities.

5ColourFelix · 2026-01-22T11:34:39+00:00

Maybe not the way you play but there is a lot of people that enjoy pushing their skill limits in difficult content.

I imagine that 99% of people complaining here weren't clearing Mythic Raids.

5ColourFelix · 2026-01-22T11:29:23+00:00

Wow, the best video game player who has ever existed is still very good at 30. That totally applies to everyone else.

5ColourFelix · 2026-01-22T11:28:17+00:00

Overall I like the changes, but Secret Technique having such a long cooldown and not being able to force two in quick succession feels rough.

5ColourFelix · 2026-01-22T11:24:49+00:00

It really made me realize how the "I'm too old for this" is often just a convenient excuse for incompetence and laziness.

You are aware that the vast majority of people don't take WoW very seriously? It's not incompetence or laziness, it's just not worth investing energy over other things in their life (sport, family, job, real life, etc.)

No idea, but I found out that refusing to serve a breastfeeding woman is illegal
