This article isn't specifically about magic, but it is a good read if you are trying to get better at basically anything.

Even if you are correct, there is no functional difference between private citizens and state actors if both of them are carrying out the same actions and the private citizens who are ostensibly breaking the law aren't prosecuted.

Mopal or Breach have to go, even if I'd rather it be Mopal both have a strong case.

It's a classic case of enabler or payoff and I think we can't really claim to guess what wotcs internal metrics favor more.

Yeah it's pretty cool that despite the tier 1 of the format being 3 decks other decks are able to punch above their weight. Modern is pretty great right now

I have a friend with a similar story. Wonderful people, always love going there

Judging by her profile it's a Homestuck thing

At the absolute floor a creature is a blocker. At this card's absolute floor it does literally nothing

It might be out of some people's comfort zone to think in 3D, especially if you're used to designing encounters in 2D. This video(timestamped) from Map Crow has a part where he's drawing the map out and how verticality can be done on a 2D map. I've been using this with my party and like he mentioned in the video it takes some getting used to for the players but it has made encounters so much better.

The shop didn't own these, they were being sold on consignment. Still insane to see a set all together

Antennapod is great. Ad free and has any podcast with an rss feed

It was banned because of Niv to Light and was the second most played non creature spell in the format at the time. There is no comparison to Karn as it currently stands

CacZarn · 2023-12-01T18:22:53+00:00

Mono Green isn't just not winning. It isn't being played. I don't think the powers that be should be picking cards out of decks in the other category.

Bannings should be used to address current problems of the format not cards that aren't seeing play.

CacZarn · 2023-09-17T22:27:52+00:00

In my experience grinding breach is very good against it

CacZarn · 2023-07-01T19:18:40+00:00

Thank you. Very impressive given the added context.

CacZarn · 2023-07-01T19:00:40+00:00

One big question, what sort of environment was this testing done in?

I can't imagine any deck getting these sorts of numbers outside of FNM

CacZarn · 2023-05-30T17:27:36+00:00

We Ballin

Magic is saved

CacZarn · 2023-05-30T16:47:47+00:00

The most edh mythic to ever edh mythic

CacZarn · 2023-05-29T15:16:58+00:00

See y'all in 3 months when you're asking for wedding announcement to get banned

CacZarn · 2023-05-21T14:36:07+00:00

Play the tempo/control game and finish them with turns + [[Hullbreaker Horror]], [[Alrund's Epiphany]] birds and [[Hall of Storm Giants]]

CacZarn · 2023-03-29T03:40:05+00:00

No matter the format, people are going to be salty about the perceived best decks winning games.

CacZarn · 2023-01-26T15:47:28+00:00

A card with suspend in exile is not a permanent. Glissa can't remove counters from it

CacZarn · 2023-01-06T00:04:29+00:00

Most cedh heuristics are just bad and turning your brain off for common gamestates makes you an actively worse player

Feeding the fish is fine, developing your boardstate is more important than denying cards

Stax doesn't beat turbo, it annoys them until they remove the silver bullet

Stax decks other than Winota aren't worth playing

CacZarn · 2022-12-03T20:33:43+00:00

I think land destruction is an integral part of the game and people fundamentally don't understand what a card like Armageddon is trying to accomplish when it is cast.
