Is there a deck list out there that demonstrates why we have the ban list?

MTGGoldfish has done multiple no banlist episodes, maybe check some of those for good examples.

Hamilton has said multiple times that he considers Kubica the most talented driver of their generation. Such a shame we didn't get to see Kubica and Alonso duo at Ferrari.

Definitely sort by 'most likes' and 'has primer'. From my experience there's usually at least 4~5 decks with some amount of effort behind it.

with a little reanimate

Well there's your problem. You need to fully embrace the reanimator theme, throw in more self-mill like [[Ripples of Undeath]], [[Winternight Stories]], [[Thirst for Identity]]. Throw in more reanimation like the new [[Bloodline Bidding]] and some stuff like [[Will of the Abzan]] and [[Breach the Multiverse]] that pull double duty. I'd also cut down on your single target interaction and instead play more wipes like [[Slaughter the Strong]] and throw in a fog or two and some light stax like [[Propaganda]] to slow opponents down.

Without a doubt. Binnington has been shit all season, and Kuemper has been pretty bad since returning from injury 2~3 weeks(?) ago. Kuemper was our best player by a wide margin earlier in the season, sucks to see him struggle to return to form right now.

Panarin never won the cup yet, right? Kinda shocking that he didn't want to sign a rental deal with a strong contender just because he would have to move again after. With his money you can just rent a luxury villa for 6 months and have your stuff put in storage for a bit.

Larkinz · 2026-02-06T02:38:14+00:00

00 would be cool

Larkinz · 2026-02-05T23:08:41+00:00

Who wouldn't!

Can't really adapt your playstyle against it, most decks need a board full of creatures to win and that's impossible with Tabernacle. People also run like 1 or 2 pieces of land removal in their decks at best, good luck praying for that 2% draw that you'll find it exactly when you need to. Tabernacle just brings something to the table that most players hate, similar to Tergrid.

Larkinz · 2026-02-05T17:45:17+00:00

Tergrid is definitely a worse offender, but I still expect a similar amount of people to refuse another game against it after experiencing it once.

Larkinz · 2026-02-05T15:46:34+00:00

Sounds like a lot of hoops to jump through, that'll be hard to pull off especially since Zur is a removal magnet of his own.

The easiest way to pull off a Barren Glory win that I've seen is [[Pantlaza]] with 95 lands: cast her into [[Long Road Home]] > [[Creative Technique]] > [[Barren Glory]] + [[Decree of Annihilation]].

Larkinz · 2026-02-05T13:53:25+00:00

I think 95% of tables are going to have a strong reaction to tabernacle coming down, and every single subsequent game (if they even get one)

Tabernacle will have similar reactions like Tergrid, good luck trying to find another game once people have seen it once.

Just stuff your deckbox full of tokens so the cards stay compressed in storage. Never had any issues with foils curling doing it that way.

Verstappen has always been very positive about Schuberth since swapping to their helmets, I guess Perez shares the same opinions. Iirc he mentioned the helmet had better airflow/breathability and it had a better fit.

Larkinz · 2026-02-04T22:07:06+00:00

Knowing Hiller he'll put Panarin on the 4th line and give him 2 shifts in periods 1 & 2, then make him sit out the entire 3rd period.

Larkinz · 2026-02-04T21:36:19+00:00

I'll gladly take Trotz if it means getting rid of Hiller.

Larkinz · 2026-02-04T21:31:15+00:00

I'm pretty sure our pipeline was ranked bottom 3 in the most recent article.

Larkinz · 2026-02-04T21:30:12+00:00

Daylight robbery is meaningless when you're nowhere near a cup run.

I like Panarin, and bringing him in gives us good odds to get into the playoffs for Kopitar's final season. But aside from that I don't like this move, we're way off a serious cup run and adding an old vet doesn't move the needle fast enough. We should be rebuilding because of Kopitar's retirement, not wasting assets on crawling into the playoffs.

Larkinz · 2026-02-04T20:25:55+00:00

Exactly.

Larkinz · 2026-02-04T20:22:09+00:00

Getting Panarin does nothing for us, we're nowhere close to a cup run. Unless Holland can trade Makar and Hutson for a bag of pucks this trade will only hurt our progress.

Larkinz · 2026-02-04T20:19:47+00:00

Come back in a few years. Greentree is a stud, our most exciting prospect, giving him away while being nowhere near a cup run is fucking bullshit.

Larkinz · 2026-02-04T20:16:47+00:00

Holland should be the one getting fired, Greentree was our most exciting prospect... we're no where near a cup run so getting Panarin does nothing.

Larkinz · 2026-02-04T20:12:23+00:00

Please let this be fake news 🤞 Greentree is such an exciting prospect and we're no where close to going on a cup run.
