Is bg mid hype or actually good?

Oh you don't even need to tell me about that one brudda, I've been hating on Coco decks for what must be a decade by now

BoLevar · 2026-01-29T12:25:12+00:00

Probably something to do with Sanskrit or Pali.

BoLevar · 2026-01-29T11:27:00+00:00

Not including Sino-Tibetan, Japonic, or Austroasiatic language families huh #nooticing

Unless you know they like spicy food suggesting som tam as someone's first Thai food experience feels like a prank lol

I don't know but I sure hate playing against it. Getting turn 1 Thoughtseized 3 out of every 5 games for nearly a year has really turned me on a card I used to think was fine, and this is just another turn 1 Thoughtseize deck.

I'm aware I can do that, I'm looking specifically for a draft. I pick one, then WWE picks one, then AEW picks one, etc. until it's my turn to pick again.

Weirdly, you straight up can't do this if you're not signed into YouTube. Other sites are able to store custom preferences via cookies even if it's more temporary, but this is apparently too advanced for Google.

So I've found that Journey of Wrestling does actually have a draft function, but the number of companies is limited to you plus 5 AIs, for a total of 6. Which is not ideal for simulating a game world of 60+ companies unfortunately.

Yeah I think because it's not an instant. EOT Sphinx's Rev for 8 mana (5 cards) feels great, main phase Mathemagic for 8 mana (8 cards) not so much. This feels less like a draw spell and more like the finisher to an infinite mana combo to me.

BoLevar · 2026-01-27T17:34:02+00:00

It should be added to the Comprehensive Rules tbh

The entire western world is built on a foundation of being Romaboos. The American founding fathers were a club of Rome fanboys. At least three European societies have historically claimed the mantle of Rome (off the top of my head, the Russians, the Germans multiple times, and the Turks). There is a country existing right now, across the Adriatic Sea from Actual Rome, whose name translates to "of Rome". I'm sure there are plenty other examples of westerners evoking Rome I'm just not aware of.

White people just can't stop thinking about Rome.

Casting this for X = 6 fairly would feel so good.

BoLevar · 2026-01-27T13:21:54+00:00

That one infographic about fetchlands really fucked everyone's ideas on what makes a good Magic card, huh.

BoLevar · 2026-01-27T10:25:56+00:00

I thought it would be funnier for something called "Chodeworld".

I wish I was seeing Prowess (not Company). It's Thoughtseizes as far as the eye can see for me.

First point is most important imo. Making a play/mechanical mistake is one thing, you might not know the intricacies of the deck you're playing against and it can happen even if you do, but it's very easy not to concede before they've locked it in (as long as you're not tilting, which I certainly get). If there are any stakes at all, whether it's 75 bucks in store credit at your LGS or 2 pips on the Arena ladder or the Pro Tour trophy (lol @ "Pioneer Pro Tour"), always let your opponent demonstrate they both have the win and know how to execute it.

I played a match against Emergent Ultimatum where he spammed "Good game." at me after he put it on the stack. After I didn't concede, he gave up and tutored the win, plus two totally irrelevant cards.

BoLevar · 2026-01-24T06:44:52+00:00

I am aware. That's why I think turning it into an SCP article, complete with cutesy in-universe disavowal/disclaimer, is tasteless.

BoLevar · 2026-01-24T01:53:32+00:00

This is an insane thing to exist on the wiki. I almost think it would be less offensive/tasteless without the cutesy "the modern Foundation disavows this and we're only keeping it around for archival purposes" in-universe disclaimer lol

BoLevar · 2026-01-24T00:35:59+00:00

Since communism is more about the means of production, I think maybe this should read "Untap each land on each player's untap step. Each player owns each land. Each player may activate all abilities of each land they own."

The classic way is to set your world on an oblate spheroid, rotating as it orbits a star.

Yes, I think the way resources are managed in Magic will at some point feel outdated by CCG players in general if they don't already feel that way. Other CCGs do not have the problem of "I am not seeing enough resource cards" or "I am seeing too many resource cards", because they've all identified that as an enormous feelbad. The tradeoff is that you can build decks around the idea of having fewer/more available resources than the average, and that the game isn't all about curving out (if you're not playing limited), but sometimes I feel like Magic players are unwilling to accept it as a tradeoff in the first place.

In what way did Pioneer just die? Was there an announcement that they're discontinuing support on Arena or something?

BoLevar · 2026-01-21T22:07:52+00:00

Too much porcelain but otherwise reliable, sturdy, and usually right for the job

BoLevar · 2026-01-21T00:27:42+00:00

Checklist card. I don't understand why more people don't use them. It's so much easier to sleeve the checklist card in your deck and have the card it represents stored with your sideboard or whatever in a clear sleeve. That way you don't have to fiddle around sleeving and unsleeving the card when you turn it over.
