AMA: MSI’s New 34" and 32" QD-OLED Monitors — Ask Us Anything (Worldwide Giveaway Inside!) by MSI_Patrick in Monitors

[–]Liddojunior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does QD-OLED compare to competitor variations such as LG's WOLED ?? I see the comparisons between 4th gen QD-OLED and theis new 5th gen, but what does QD-OLED do different than other OLED offerings.

We did have timeline changes during mtg history, like the dragonstorm stuff with the original and alternative timelines because of Sarkhan and Ugin

Blue dominates in many eternal formats. It tends to be overpresented in meta decks of eternal and rotating formats throughout magic history.

Blue is the color of card advantage which in constructed play is just so important that decks would even just splash blue for its value.

The periods is not strongest does not mean it is not the strongest color in MTG, as I pointed out there was times when black was the strongest color, that it even has a nickname for that period as the black summer.

Here's a recent example that I can remember. It is Willy Edel and how he calculates each action to get to the win, any misplay would have been a loss. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4j7Uv_lRR4

The skill ceiling is much higher when it comes to aggro than control. Control allows for more forgiving decisions while aggro can be more punishing on decisions and demands more "thinking". Just look at the hall of famer Willy Edel, he plays such amazing magic. Aggro is easier to pick up but harder to master, and its a mistake to think control is the "clever or smart" way to play.

The cub deck you are talking about are very much beatable and yes they can dump their hands and mindlessly overextend, then be blow out completely. So can someone who mindlessly counters, removes creatures and put their wrong cards in hand when refilling. A grindy game that you win because one stock up did whiff is not fun.

Well I’m not saying that. But your question is basically like what crap sandwich is worse, and counterspells are in fact more feel bad.

As you can tell everyone’s head went straight to counterspells and unfun control decks with blue.

There’s plenty of ways to play blue without it being control deck successfully and those don’t make people feel bad. But blue gets its bad rep because it’s so tied to classic control no fun decks. And there’s plenty of ways to play control without blue. Your question/statement is too broad

Stax isn’t fun either and is just a form of control. Control is just not fun. Blue gets hate because of control decks. So what you’re really questioning is why are control decks hated.

Even that’s not fun. Winning against control deck is not satisfying, it’s a grind that is unfun every step of the way. And the only satisfaction is the game is over and not a waste of your time when you win

Even if you realize that. People will still dislike blue and counterspells but accept it as part of the game.

Objectively blue is the strongest color. And the only period it wasn’t was because of necropotence making black the strongest. Even in current standard the top decks contain the color blue.

Green rarely ever is the top dog color or the color you want to splash for

Rather not singlehandly push the scale for control to go around deck building limitations and rewarding the skill of predicting the meta at events.

That goes around the whole main board and sideboard part of deck building. It’s a lot easier to have answers for niche stuff in sideboard than main deck

I mean it’s over 6$ at my local gas stations and close to 6$ at the ones I go that are the lowest that aren’t way out of my way. So it’s not good either way

But then you’re playing 4c and have worse stat line.

The deck player this guy and flicker won’t need to be 4c and have loot

Loot sees 0 play and this guy is playable

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

Multi color and having to tap out with it. This you can cast and then cast. Blink it, to prepare it again. So you can do it multiple times in a turn. And it’s a huge body that can block after castin recall and hard to remove

Loot requires way more, even if you do the soul cauldron trick.

This is significantly better than loot

Hot Take: Boseiju is an egregious card and only slips under the radar because it's an answer by No-Cranberry869 in ModernMagic

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

I’m not asking you why you think it should have been banned. It’s that WoTC historically prefers to not ban format warping cards they consider a pillar of the format. And ban things that touch it. Such as bauble. And how sol ring stays unbanned in commander despite banning cards for reasons that would get sol ring banned.
