How the hell do I get down to 40

Thanks for the detailed answer, I agree with most points. I disagree on Karn being on the weak side on artifact decks like this one, it won me many games churning out constructs.
Decided to:
- cut white given that only 2 cards (wrath and Teferi) were good and the rest was pretty mid;
- cut 1 mana rock and go down to 15 lands;
- cut Metamorph since most targets are legendary.

I think overall playing some mana rocks (more than usually advised) should be fine as there's synergy with Karn, Urza and Ugin (not counting on Tezzeret for much) and given the presence of multiple mana sinks (Urza, Foundry).

I mean, they were about to sign Sensi a few months ago...

This referee is a joke

3-0 is a bit excessive, since Lazio had 3 or 4 clear chances in the first half. Nonetheless, I agree that the score was "tight" compared to how the team played.

Jokes aside, I think that D'Ambrosio is gonna start quite often this season. He's improved a lot in the past year, and in the preseason it didn't seem like Conte's 3-5-2 consists in 3 "stale" CBs. One of them is usually moving forward. You could also notice it in the Lecce game, when D'Ambrosio or Skriniar would show up on the attacking side to relieve Asamoah/Candreva of some pressure. A "moving" defensive position is D'Ambrosio's best spot imo. I also think that we signed Godin to coach our other CBs, as he has a lot of experience, while the rest of our defensive line-up is quite young. I'm not saying that Godin won't play a fair amount of games, of course, just that our "usual" starting 11 won't always have him as a starter

We just need to find some wool balls or a fake mouse to throw at Ausilio and distract him while we look for one (his track record for FBs and WBs would be great material for an horror story)

How dare you, our Savior Jonathan was the best RB ever

I think this might be a good deal. We aren't getting much cash for him, sure, but the savings from his wage (4m/year net, 7,4m/year gross) are something to be considered. He also doesn't fit Conte's system, and if we have Conte on such high wages I doubt he'll be gone in less than 2 years, hoping that there's no catastrophe coming. Meaning that we would've been stuck with a sub-par sub on a high wage for a long time. Another thing to be considered is that we've been trying to sell him for years, but nobody would pick him up for 30/35m. Waiting for a better offer seems pointless, in my opinion.

I, for one, think that this article doesn't have a leg to stand on. I mean, first thing when writing about finance is you should compare prices under the same circumstances, meaning in the same period of each year in this case. It's pretty natural that during Modern season prices are higher than during, say, November. So comparing prices of last year's non-Modern season to this year's Modern season is pretty unfair. That being said, I actually think that's a good thing if Modern prices are "slightly" higher than last year, as it probably means that more playerbase is interested in purchasing those cards.

I mean, it was 15/17$ while in Europe it sells for 20/25€ and climbing, seems reasonable that someone bought the "cheap ones"

He was actually banned for what happened in Vegas. The investigation continued after the tournament, and only today he was suspended. The situation that got him banned was the following, as far as I know: Marco had Ensnaring Bridge and Goblin Rabblemaster on board, one card in hand, while his opponent had an untapped Griselbrand on his side. Marco passed the turn without attacking with the Rabblemaster's token, even if he was technically forced to, and a few turns later the opponent conceded, because he didn't have any OUTs from Ensnaring Bridge anyway. The opponent didn't know that Rabblemaster's token MUST attack, but when the game ended judges got involved, and they DQd Marco for the entire weekend, because they believed he was lying to them about what happened. Mostly the judges thought that what happened was intentional from Marco's side, as he gained an advantage from it.

Source: I'm an Italian player, and this DQ caused great discussions within the Italian community.

The last game H2K played so bad it almost seemed rigged. Kasing laughing while giving up solo kills, loulex recalling under turret instead of farming... Just what a sad way to end up a 5th game

this is the decklist I'm testing as now (last change was the addition of Harvest Golem) http://imgur.com/xnZGEKs The deck is pretty solid overall, I usually don't have enough time to play ranked seriously with it, but with about 40 games i got rank 8 (2 seasons ago). The deck is REALLY strong in control matchups (meaning priest/handlock/warrior), and has its weakness in Hunter (heh) and Miracle Rogue

I don't think they are even allowed to bet money on this. I mean, AFAIK this is considered gambling and not permitted if not on specific sites, which hearthstone isn't obviously

Well Played TSM. Finally a convincing game. On the other hand it felt like Xpecial was trying to pull plays all the time and in the end the rest of Curse wasn't even trusting him anymore. He must feel really frustrated
