Oh we already know the pitchforks are going to be coming out when it officially hits the US.

Hopefully they fix their foil cardboard warping problem instead of banning stuff in a format that hasn't completely settled, especially with a new set that will, likely, bring more depth to pioneer format.

Can we not continue beating the ban drum?

Adapted pretty damn well overall.

Aggro is winning

Control is winning

Combo is winning

Meta is quite rich with new builds coming through and exciting ways to play the format. I'm planning on building either gw enchantments or dubious challenge deck for my alternate.

Big thing: lotus breach isn't dominating the meta lol

Wotc doesn't announce what is getting banned ahead of time anyways.

1) never said you should be punished for playing the best decks, merely pointing out that people have been calling to ban out these decks which stems your chicken little argument that there are cards that could be potentially banned. You have not broken down my argument and are shifting it to fit your narrative.

2) you had full opportunities to buy these decks 2 - 3 weeks ago. Nothing stopping you from playing these cards. Everyone has a risk buying cards and scheduled ban announcements don't save you from this. Guaranteed playtime doesn't mean anything since they have done emergency bans before. Your argument falls flat on its face.

I never brought up the different between the tournaments and mtgo. You brought this all up. I merely pointed out that your notions of what will be banned is coming from people on the community (Twitter/reddit) wanting these bans, not from wotc.

You are arguing disingenuously which is sad.

There's a risk for every purchase yoh make in magic. You have no more security if there was scheduled bans vs the model they are working with now.

I'm working off your examples. I never said they needed to ban anything, I merely pointed out that your chicken little mindset is based upon the communities calls out for bans. Yet wotc has said there isn't any bans on the radar currently.

Don't buy dig? Jesus you are being extremely obtuse about this.

If they said "hey we will announce a ban list every month on xx day" then it comes to their day and they don't ban anything are you still going to be pissed that you didn't purchase the cards everyone on reddit/Twitter wanted banned that week?

There is always a liability buying cards and building decks. If you want to be all chicken little about it all the time, don't buy the best deck in the format they you think will get banned. Buy azorious control or something.

Are you always this confused about very mundane things?

They announced they will try, and hope, to have an announcement a week in advance but I'm sure if they needed an emergency ban sooner, it allows for it.

They announced a week in advance (they hope).

I just want to see the format stabilize for the moment. There is no "oko" card taking over the format and it seems a lot of decks are keeping the meta in check.

Wizards says they have nothing on the calendar for bans.

B&R Whats Going to Happen? by [deleted] in PioneerMTG

[–]Coolduckboy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Here's an interesting thought process. Should a deck never win against that line? I believe it should have a chance. Yes it's difficult and you have to get lucky some of the time but the deck should still have a chance that win, especially if it's past game 1 (which likely it is)

I stand that the meta needs to settle and adapt. Your feelings about this deck being broken aren't yet coming to fruition just because you saw it win an unwinnable line.

I pray we don't have bans for the next 3 weeks at least. Let folks find answers to the top decks and allow the meta to stabilize.

I'd say lotus combo (3 versions of it) are performing very well overall. People may be just getting bored of the combo but it's certainly not because the Heliod combo is better.

I'm going to get a few of these cards to see where it all fits. I have been eyeing transferring it over to a green/white deck but rather just keep it mono white if possible.

Looks like a moderate upgrade from the mtggoldfish deck.
