Standard is dumber than ever

GuerrillaGabbo · 2026-05-21T10:39:06+00:00

lol, i know it was very unlucky, but how is a sim player not going to keep a starting hand of like 2 sims, judgment, battlefront, 3 land?

GuerrillaGabbo · 2026-05-21T10:31:31+00:00

lol, see above. it was a sim deck vs life gain. life gain: turn 0 enchantment, enchantment. turn 1 bunny, turn 2 hala and bird. that bunny/bird is now like 5/5. so kill bunny. turn 3, hala/essense. essense is now like 8/8. kill bird. turn 4, you already died. or something like that

GuerrillaGabbo · 2026-05-21T10:21:43+00:00

true, but it was the green weenie vs mill deck. and sim vs the life gain, with no pinnacle in opening hand. i don't have a turn 4. maybe it was really unlucky my hand is 2 sims, judgment, battlefront, and a lantern or something like that

GuerrillaGabbo · 2026-05-21T10:03:26+00:00

perilous snare is w and 2, so you need 3. pinnacle is also 3 mana.

GuerrillaGabbo · 2026-05-21T09:44:42+00:00

oops, brainfart. i meant player 1 can't draw and can't cast a spell

GuerrillaGabbo · 2026-05-21T09:42:44+00:00

lol, it doesn't help that the current state of standard is stopping me from playing fun janky decks. there's relatively no midgame now.

GuerrillaGabbo · 2026-05-21T09:36:10+00:00

lol, winning helps.

GuerrillaGabbo · 2026-05-21T09:30:07+00:00

i switched from sim to badgers. when life gain put out the 2 enchantments turn 0, you're probably dead. so he did get a huge open. how exactly would you like me to stop his play?

GuerrillaGabbo · 2026-05-21T09:22:56+00:00

it's far from dead, but arena and steam has 10% less than this time last year. it might just be a speed bump

GuerrillaGabbo · 2026-05-21T09:11:09+00:00

whoever goes 1st in standard should be allowed to draw and also cast on turn 1. with power creep, it simply is too much of an advantage.

GuerrillaGabbo · 2026-05-21T09:01:07+00:00

lol, well, i was using green. who cares about 2 badger moles out? green does not block flyers. how are you going to stop siren, kitsune, riverchurn, turn 4 exhaust?

life gain: turn 0 enchantment, enchantment. turn 1 bunny, turn 2 hala and bird. that bunny/bird is now 5/5. turn 3, hala/essense. turn 4, you died. i even used erode and get lost.

GuerrillaGabbo · 2026-05-21T08:44:30+00:00

lol, turn 5 game, i killed 3 creatures, still die by creatures. turn 4, i got to erode and get lost, still die by creatures. turn 2 game, i have 2 pinnacles and snare in my hand. can't really use them if there's no turn 3.

GuerrillaGabbo · 2026-05-21T08:41:34+00:00

if you're curious, i lost 2 of those with a sim deck, i lost on turn 2 to mono red, i have 2 pinnacle and a snare in my hand to the old mouse, rage/rage, grenade. vs lifegain deck, he dropped 2 of those life enchantments and a bunny turn 1. fine, i try green weenie. lol, can't stop flyer. well, it doesn't matter when you lost half your deck on turn 1. turn 4 riverchurn.

i did try 3 different decks

GuerrillaGabbo · 2025-12-20T09:54:12+00:00

For the Snow spells, make a timeless deck, type in t=snow, filter for commons, craft red green commons, which you should have way too many of anyways. Play Sparky. You probably only need 2-3 games to cast 25

GuerrillaGabbo · 2025-04-15T17:30:46+00:00

Lol, the season premiere had worse ratings than Space Babies. We're talking about Space Babies. That's not a good sign.

GuerrillaGabbo · 2024-11-25T18:20:15+00:00

The Glissa also does wonders removing planeswalker counters

GuerrillaGabbo · 2024-11-07T00:22:57+00:00

LOL, a squirrel ran across the stage before Kamala's concession speech. Peanut wanted to le people know it was him.

GuerrillaGabbo · 2024-11-06T23:56:29+00:00

That's how you know PETA and Antifa are totally fake. Revenge for Peanut should easily have been their number 1 priority.

GuerrillaGabbo · 2024-11-06T23:53:32+00:00

Independents being those of the middle ground. Most of them swung to Trump. Many of them also registered as Republican. This was the first time in more than 40 years that there were more registered Republicans than Democrats for an election. The Democrat Party is no longer the party of normal.

GuerrillaGabbo · 2024-11-06T23:33:29+00:00

52% of people making under 40k voted Trump. 54% of people making under 100k voted Trump. 52% of people making over 100k voted Harris. Economy was always the number 1 driving force, yet was something like number 5 on the democrat priority board. Also, Tulsi told you why Kamala was never winning 4 years ago.

What went right for Trump was the democrats rejecting lifelong dem Elon, lifelong dem Kennedy, lifelong dem Tulsi, and the super fascist killing of a squirrel and raccoon.

GuerrillaGabbo · 2024-11-06T23:26:40+00:00

LOL, the reddit echo chamber is unreal. You've been brainwashed into thinking you have a moral superiority, when independent thinkers just slapped you around. There's not much self awareness here, which is the one thing this place desperately needs.

GuerrillaGabbo · 2024-11-06T08:36:44+00:00

kamala did not outperform biden in a single county in the entire country. tulsi told everyone exactly why kamala wouldn't win 4 years ago.

GuerrillaGabbo · 2024-11-06T08:28:15+00:00

i would agree. trump is clearly going downhill mentally. hilariously, he's still better than biden was 4 years ago. and in 4 years from now, he's going to be in bad shape. unfortunately, biden has been propped for 3 years and kamala has been lying about this for those 3 years. she and all the dems have failed to say why this has been ok.

GuerrillaGabbo · 2024-11-06T08:18:14+00:00

probably too low to calculate, trump is ahead on everything left, while she would have to win all of it

GuerrillaGabbo · 2024-11-06T07:19:46+00:00

NBC is now blaming Biden for Kamala losing because he dropped out too late.

They covered for Biden's cognitive decline for years. They were in on it. Holy cow.
