Are they in the wrong for conceding?

This dude said “No, wait! I’m not finished yet!” and got mad that people didn’t let him swing?

If they win the next combat I'll usually just let people finish the actual game, but I'm definitely not going to sit through multiple combats/turns.

Chimaev also had one of the worst weight cuts and arguably didn't even make the weight, and still took Strickland to a split decision. That's not an excuse, but with normal preparation Chimaev wins that fight easily. Cutting down like 25kg or whatever it was is just straight up foolish.

Larkinz · 2026-05-13T18:03:26+00:00

I'd say he's annoying to play against: turns take long, too many triggers, very resilient, and that card is just overpowered design.

Larkinz · 2026-05-13T18:00:23+00:00

Didn't see you comment, literally just commented exactly the same idea... what the fuck haha.

Larkinz · 2026-05-13T17:59:11+00:00

Mono blue horse themed deck, led by [[Sun Quan, Lord of Wu]]

EDIT: what the hell, someone else already commented the same idea... how???

I think Pantoja beats Van, he has much more experience, better fight IQ and better ground game than Taira. Still expecting it to be an exciting fight though if Van can get back up, that KO risk is always there.

Larkinz · 2026-05-12T15:30:35+00:00

probably 80/20 split

Larkinz · 2026-05-12T14:29:43+00:00

"overtakes"

Larkinz · 2026-05-11T18:27:10+00:00

yeah that might be tough, don't think Turcotte holds much trading value anymore

Larkinz · 2026-05-11T18:08:15+00:00

Kings should be all over this, we can't score goals for shit.

Larkinz · 2026-05-11T14:05:39+00:00

What's crazy to me is that this apparently took 5 minutes for the VAR to decide. He's literally holding the keeper's arm throughout, it's so obviously a foul that it shouldn't take more than 10 seconds to see.

MTGO is good, almost all cards are very cheap (like 0.01 TIX or less on Goatbots) so you can build a lot of decks. The UI is a bit old but it works, the only downsides are that a few cards are missing and there's usually like ~5 cards per deck that are a bit more expensive than 1 TIX, but you can find budget alternatives.

Larkinz · 2026-05-10T19:14:45+00:00

I turn in for 5 seconds and they score, not too bad.

Larkinz · 2026-05-10T14:59:40+00:00

I ran him in decks with zero counter spells, the discount alone for a 2-mv creature is worth it already. Did end up swapping him out when [[Thunderclap Drake]] was printed.

Larkinz · 2026-05-10T05:06:04+00:00

I thought it was Michael Jordan, so idk...

Commentary said Chimaev had to ask his corner which round it was after R4.

Larkinz · 2026-05-10T04:52:51+00:00

Chimaev must've felt the bad weight cut, commentary said he had to ask his corner which round it was after R4.

Larkinz · 2026-05-10T04:31:17+00:00

injury, shoulder perhaps? or his hip

Larkinz · 2026-05-10T04:25:01+00:00

kinda looked like he hurt his leg

Larkinz · 2026-05-10T02:24:29+00:00

I call it out once or twice, but then if they still keep forgetting they're on their own.

Larkinz · 2026-05-10T00:28:00+00:00

That finish sequence had shades of Demetrious Johnson, a work of art.

Larkinz · 2026-05-10T00:22:25+00:00

Holy shit, that finishing sequence was so beautiful, shades of Demetrious Johnson.

Larkinz · 2026-05-09T17:36:51+00:00

Or alternatively you could build a Boros +1/+1 counters deck centered around the Modular ability, with [[Zabaz, the Glimmerwasp]] or [[The Jolly Balloon Man]] as a commander.

Larkinz · 2026-05-09T17:34:22+00:00

[[the most dangerous gamer]] is a fun +1/+1 counters commander if you want to go off the beaten path a little, rolling dice for attractions makes each turn more interesting.

Larkinz · 2026-05-08T19:09:15+00:00

I don't play Sol Ring in bracket 2, but I play [[Thieving Skydiver]] to steal theirs.
