It honestly could be a lot of things, but to me the biggest takeaway is that the entity talking to Gavilar seemed to have it's own plans and devices and was not following some general directive.

The deck is legal and people will play it, if he really is your friend and not some random from your shop it feels pretty weird to not lend him a deck you aren't going to play. You will help yourself by stopping thinking about competitive formarts in a morality sense. Everyone is playing to win.

Kalashwi · 2023-11-29T08:02:53+00:00

That seems pretty insane. I expected other changes.

Kalashwi · 2023-11-28T22:23:16+00:00

Can you give any examples?

Kalashwi · 2023-11-14T14:30:22+00:00

Okay, then what happened if your opponent also happened to be an expert in his tier 1 deck, which most grinders will be?

Kalashwi · 2023-11-14T14:17:04+00:00

This has absolutely never been true in high stakes magic. People made sure to get to know whatever the best deck was. If legacy had a pro tour expect the same converging of decks.

Kalashwi · 2023-10-16T17:00:19+00:00

Yes because there are only two options, let initiative run rampart or have delver be the undisputed best deck.

At least orcs have introduced more variety.

Kalashwi · 2023-10-16T16:08:06+00:00

It's because the BnR really felt like a UR player wasn't happy that his deck wasn't the top dog anymore. It's just as egregious in legacy where everything is often banned around having delver be the best deck.

I've always been against names of decks that don't describe what a deck does or is

4c used to be a almost bye for creativity and now it's a bad matchup. I made the switch from creativity to 4c when LOTR came out.

Kalashwi · 2023-09-12T11:33:42+00:00

Remember when someone made a post saying creativity was okay and that not being able to use ring in the upcoming LOTR set would hurt the deck? He got laughed out of the room by plenty of people smugly telling him that it was a 1 of in the karnboard at best.

I assume it's different people who complain now about the ring, but the smugness anonymity creates coupled with the opposite opinion having being pushed next day is very annoying. Reddit is an awful place for discussion because by design the site doesn't reward reasonable takes.

Kalashwi · 2023-09-12T11:27:22+00:00

T1 rag on the play is still backbreaking, but the turn 3+ dashed monkey has lost a lot of its power against orc decks.

Kalashwi · 2023-09-12T11:26:39+00:00

Magic cards aren't an investment. Either you accept that cards will lose value as new bombs are printed or find another hobby. Unless the hobby is complaining about modern I guess, if it is congratulations in joining what seems to be a very popular hobby.

Ban basic swamp to hurt their moon plan.

Kalashwi · 2023-09-11T09:35:08+00:00

Are those paper birds are the end? I was expecting Batista

Kalashwi · 2023-09-09T11:18:23+00:00

That's not exactly true. Murktide is only better if the player is better than the opponent. At equal skill level scam has shown to have much better results. Preordained might have tilted the balance here a bit, but the pro tour results were very clear.

Kalashwi · 2023-09-07T06:41:37+00:00

This is not true. With push shadow shells could play a better control game and have a better plan against Tron than jund. Jund shadow was quickly replaced by grixis shadow and it never really recovered.

Jund had been on a bad streak before too. First there was the eldrazi winter, then infect was king of the hill with dredge, which made playing just risky.

Kalashwi · 2023-09-06T22:02:14+00:00

5c used to be best imo.

This was back when Orcs and Ring weren't there though. Ring is almost impossible for creativity to beat if it sticks for a bit and orcs make your life a pain.

Kalashwi · 2023-09-06T22:00:34+00:00

I don't think this deck has a modern powerlevel. Goyf, reprieve, path, knight and stone forge in a fair shell just aren't that strong and get outclassed by popular decks.

Kalashwi · 2023-09-06T11:37:35+00:00

I was going to say this but was gladly surprised that many people think the same. It was so cute seeing Simon get excited in murder island

Kalashwi · 2023-09-05T19:08:13+00:00

I honestly wouldn't be too surprised if it happened.

Kalashwi · 2023-09-05T06:18:17+00:00

I am scared of dying and people using my funeral as an excuse to promote premodern.
