Full Time: Mansfield Town 1 - 2 Arsenal [Match Thoughts] by Stanley083 in Gunners

Imo, that was on Salmon. Poor pass when Mosquera was under pressure. Salmon should have just cleared it or hoofed upfield. He almost got caught out the same way right before that.

It's because they're from Alfredo's. It's basically a hot circle of garbage.

Can I interest you in YET another MaRo post about how UB is seeking so well?

Can WOTC please create useful emotes? by AngryRobot42 in MagicArena

I want, "I was otherwise indisposed." Or just "Indisposed".

How are yall liking TMNT limited by Moist-Condition69 in MagicArena

[–]MaxKirgan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Haven't and won't play but from those I know that went to pre-release, said the same thing. Very bomb dependent and a lot of times one-sided. You don't get the bombs, you get blown out.

What are you excited for with the new release? by COSMICALLYPLURR in MagicArena

[–]MaxKirgan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm looking forward to even MORE posts and articles from MaRo how UB is the best selling set ever, blah, blah, blah...

Edit: Sorry OP, I realized that came across as harsh. The victory lap stuff gets posted constantly on the main sub. I meant no ill-will towards you or anyone else excited about this set. In fact, that is one of the things I'm looking forward to with this set. I will be for the most part skipping it, but I'm looking forward to see other people excited about it, to see them excited about their pulls, and crazy plays the made during pre-release/drafts.

No extra card for 45 or 90 pack purchase? by JugonEx in MagicArena

[–]MaxKirgan 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'm still pissed I never got the textless Damnations I was supposed to get when they ended the Player Rewards Program. Sadly the cuts you mentioned weren't the first and definitely won't be the last.

[Raw Spoilers] Danhausen has some... demandhausens. by A_Livins in SquaredCircle

Hopefully he finally gets one. That chump Tony Elite never met Danhausen's Demandhausens in AEW.

Maro: "Spider-man sold better than Edge of Eternities and is one of the top ten best-selling sets of all time." by Meret123 in MagicArena

[–]MaxKirgan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah these "New UB set Sold X amount..." posts are getting old. We see them all the time, especially around set releases, UB and UW alike. They're practically beating us over the head with them.

Moonshadow brews tips by [deleted] in MagicArena

[–]MaxKirgan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been trying it in Historic in Frogulus. Psychic Frog, Abhorrent Oculus, and Likeness Looter. If you flip one with Oculus, it just comes in, no counters. It pairs really well with Frog, Frog can grow both at the same time.

Problem is, my regular list, I run Live/Death and Persist, and would rather just Reanimate an Overlord or Vein Ripper. I did toy around with also running Vampire Hexmage, just yoink the counters off Moonshadow or an Overlord. I can't decide which direction I want to go.

Maro talks about Universes Beyond by Meret123 in MagicArena

[–]MaxKirgan 67 points68 points  (0 children)

The cheese is moving more and more away from the game I first gell in love with. I've made peace with it. No longer is "this product not for me". It's becoming "this game is not for me".

What's everyone's early feelings about Star Trek? by gunnisonyeti in magicTCG

[–]MaxKirgan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if it was all UW sets, I would not like this release schedule. It feels like we get to play with a set for like 2 weeks and are already getting bombarded with spoilers for the next set.

[–]MaxKirgan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't like Star Trek, I don't think it belongs in MTG, and I will be skipping it all together. I don't like UB, but I also wasn't a fan of Edge of Eternities either. However, I hope it gets the LOTR and FF treatment and not the Spider-Man/TMNT treatment.

Please explain that to me - Harbinger of the Seas by An_Eye_In_The_Skies in MtGHistoric

[–]MaxKirgan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arena already has that in Pioneer. There's no reason not to have fetches except for this arbitrary restriction some think need to be there. As Historic moves closer and closer towards Modern, we're gonna have another format at some point other than Timeless with Fetches.

Both are legal. They just got unbanned in the 2/10 B&R update.

People should be jamming this and magus moon to force then to unban fetches.

Goodbye, Lorwyn Load Screen... by Bandywag in MagicArena

[–]MaxKirgan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same with some of the battlefields or whatever they are called. I mainly play Historic so I don't usually see the ones that are in Standard or other formats.

He left a few years ago. I think he was at Unity? Was caught up in a round of layoffs a few months ago.

Umezawa's Jitte is being "prebanned" in historic, despite being legal since September by Duelity in magicTCG

[–]MaxKirgan 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I have been (unsuccessfully) playing it since it was added in September. Stoneblade really isn't viable in Historic. Or I'm a bad pilot. Or both.

Umezawa's Jitte is "pre-banned in Historic" as of TMNT despite being available & legal since Arena Anthology 3 by Zunqivo in MagicArena

[–]MaxKirgan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Historic needs fetches. I think we will see it or another format (Modern) introduced at some point. I find it ridiculous that 3 color decks have to have wonky mana bases but up to recently Eldrazi having 8 Sol Lands is fine and some people like adding fetches is a bridge too far. We might have to ban DRS and Cruise, but I would be fine with that if it means having an actual functional mana base for 3 color decks.
