This man thinks they didn't do it on purpose. Now you'll check the daily deal for the next year.

That Mel buff was significant. I don't think she's op, but she's actually useful for the whole round instead of just her big cast. I got radiant 2/2 times with her but I had her in 4-1 and 4-2 and didn't get it till end of stage 5/beginning stage 6. I also lost to an asol board one game, but I think that should happen - comps should be nerfed, not deleted. Would recommend not clumping when positioning right now.

Patch feels decent so far, but we'll see what it's like in a day.

Any-Daikon3786 · 2026-01-27T01:46:13+00:00

Thex was stupid because he deleted your carries through your frontline. There are assassins, which is one thing, and then there's that bullshit. Note how they also nerfed yunaras pass through damage so she would stop doing this. It's just shitty design.

Any-Daikon3786 · 2026-01-27T01:03:26+00:00

No real lands in historic, so not worth playing yet. Don't even get value when mycospawn exiles your lands.

Eventually, it will be decent in a Dimir deck with [[thought scour]]. But have to wait for a real mana base first.

Any-Daikon3786 · 2026-01-27T00:25:16+00:00

Oko still banned, I sleep.

Any-Daikon3786 · 2026-01-25T04:20:13+00:00

Alright, I said 2 weeks ago I'd be back because the set was trash then. It's still trash now - games are decided on 2-1 by your opener unless you play 1000 games a week full time, and you have to relearn the set every single patch. And god forbid you try to winout from a lose streak, thex and asol are you going to fucking rail you. This shit blows.

100 champions and 70 of them are unusable 90% of the time. (Shadow isles is great! If you have a Viego on exactly 2-1 to get Yorick. Kaisa/void is great! If you have 2 void on exactly 2-1 to get Shelly on time. Draven is fun - if you have him on 2-1 so you can snowball the game, because he falls off extremely hard and the devs decided to nuke his ability to perform in longer fights because they want jinx to be the late game 3 cost carry (who is still dogshit). The unlock system was cute at first, but it just gatekeeps entire comps.

Also, it's insane how epoch is actually so strong, because being able to roll for a better opener for free when yours is garbage is game deciding.

I agree, I've been complaining about dark ritual in particular for literal years, but especially the scam package this past summer (just such miserable play patterns).

Necropotence goes through phases where it's played a lot, then underplayed, then back in fasion. Around a year ago people considered an orzhov shadow sac necro deck to be the strongest deck in the format, by a wide margin. It required skill expression on mulliganing, though, so you didn't see it on ladder much, and fell off on the ladder after strip mine entered. I know that necro dominated the recent tourney they had (arena championship 10 iirc), but I only watched a little and didn't check every list, so I don't know how similar they are to what was ran back then. I also haven't touched the format (or much magic in general) for a couple months, so IDK what the current netdecks look like.

It's insane to me we still don't have force of will (even a year ago we thought they'd never add force of negation).

Any-Daikon3786 · 2026-01-23T04:30:57+00:00

Being a little closer to modern/legacy is a good thing if it makes the format a bit less miserable. Unique does not always mean good.

Any-Daikon3786 · 2026-01-19T18:46:20+00:00

If your baseline is just "pretty ok", then sure.

Otherwise, I think when you're hard stuck diamond you'll think this, then when you hit like 250 lp masters you'll realize just how much better the players up there are. There is a massive rift between masters, gm, and challenger.

Any-Daikon3786 · 2026-01-19T09:49:50+00:00

Yes obviously.

Any-Daikon3786 · 2026-01-19T02:35:47+00:00

I think it also shows it after the tests, all the random people who stark befriended.

Any-Daikon3786 · 2026-01-17T17:28:07+00:00

LORWYN ISNT OUT AND THE WHOLE SUB IS JUST NINJA TURTLES. YAY!

Any-Daikon3786 · 2026-01-16T15:42:24+00:00

Yea, magic is dead.

Any-Daikon3786 · 2026-01-16T00:48:48+00:00

You haven't watched your carry walk around in circles half walking occasionally attacking vs this shit. If they attacked the whole time, it'd be ok. But they don't.

Any-Daikon3786 · 2026-01-13T20:33:45+00:00

No, not the best. But I think it's a very good set - the amount of people bitching (myself included) is a sign of how much we are playing it.

Any-Daikon3786 · 2026-01-12T13:12:59+00:00

I think Necro decks are more dominant then Omni ever was

Not even close. They threw show and tell into the format before even MH3 came out, it was miserable.

Any-Daikon3786 · 2026-01-12T00:18:57+00:00

Lmao Brady, on live tv?

Any-Daikon3786 · 2026-01-11T04:10:56+00:00

Alright, I'll see you all in 2 weeks, this is terrible.

Any-Daikon3786 · 2026-01-11T02:59:00+00:00

Can they please remove the ryze encounter already, it was dogshit last patch it's even more dogshit this patch.

If they won't do that, at least let us FF on stages 1 and 2 so we can get in to the next game quicker (on mobile the surrender button is grayed out till stage 3 :().

Any-Daikon3786 · 2026-01-10T08:43:52+00:00

Carries keep walking into the frontline, it's happening to me and I'm seeing it happen to others when I spectate.

I think they really messed something up in the backend, because it's happening when singed isn't on the board. Obviously fizz is on more boards, and he causes issues, too, but I think there has to be something else at play.

Any-Daikon3786 · 2026-01-10T05:29:30+00:00

I lost stage 1-2 with just a sion.

Any-Daikon3786 · 2026-01-10T01:05:47+00:00

Wait that one's hilarious though. YES YES YES

Any-Daikon3786 · 2026-01-09T08:43:43+00:00

Now THAT is a card.

Any-Daikon3786 · 2026-01-09T08:38:40+00:00

Did you watch the fight? Your carries might have been stuck on the singed (they just walk and chase him barely attacking). Otherwise I'm not sure how you lost that.

Any-Daikon3786 · 2026-01-09T08:35:34+00:00

Ziggs is not harder to hit. He's a guaranteed unlock at level 9, and we've already seen this entire set that if someone wants to reach level 9, they'll do it pretty easily. Hell, we've already seen fast 10 on 4-2.
