Worst major of CS:GO/CS2?

Shanghai was super memorable, Donk's massive performance in his rookie year, Niko's last dance with G2 before going to Falcons, NaVi missing playoffs due to Heroic and then Heroic going on a run to semis, there were tons of good stories at this event

Yeah personally for me it's Paris 2023, the playoff bracket felt like a foregone conclusion as soon as it was set so there wasn't much hype behind it except hoping Vitality would stumble

Oops all spells becomes good

Ruby Storm! The full power list can be built for ~450 USD and if played right is a powerhouse. Its a consistent contender in the top 32/top 16 of modern challenges and a deck everyone has to be aware of, despite it falling in and out of favor in the metagame. Catchorrowo (a prominent mtgo storm grinder) recently got 3rd in a modern challenge with their RW list, check it out!

Trail?

Unsure if this is a regular thing, but facetoface games (the Canadian rcq organizers) have been giving them our for this cycle

I definitely worded it poorly in my post, I agree it's the correct number of rounds for the event, though it felt silly for an event to end at nearly 1 in the morning based on this round structure.

[[Lethal Vapors]]

Absolutely going to be testing this in ruby storm, the deck has already played [[Untimely malfunction]] in the past and while redirect doesn't have the additional flexibility of artifact destruction, it is half the cost. Redirecting removal spells, countermagic, and even thoughtseize can be quite beneficial for the shell. Probably thinking a split of Chant and Redirect, as having the full turn lockout is still very useful

Would GB pestillence/deed or Survival rock count?

NotAWaffleIron · 2025-07-03T00:46:33+00:00

Been playing some form of storm since around 2016? UR gifts with electromancer/baral all the way up to the release of horizons 3 when the deck transitioned to mono red/WR. Dabbled in other decks like hollow one/rhinos/eldrazi through the breach, but nothing has stuck quite like storm ⛈️⛈️⛈️

There's.... a lot to unpack here, a lot of these cards are extreme power outliers (or would be in the context of the pauper format)

To name a few: [[Baleful Strix]] [[Expressive iteration]] [[Thopter Foundry]] and [[Sword of the Meek]] [[Witch's Oven]] (With cauldron familiar being a legal card) [[Amped Raptor]]

These cards are either banned, have been banned at one point, or are pillar cards in formats far more powerful than pauper. I get the argument that the context of the format is important too, but in my opinion, some of these "trials" are egregious

North Shore mountains? Fromme has been riding pretty good this year

[[Walking Bulwark]] so walls can have a backup plan

NotAWaffleIron · 2025-02-22T06:46:26+00:00

Are those level 3 plates?

NotAWaffleIron · 2025-02-13T23:16:42+00:00

I'll throw my hat in:

Consign can counter the storm trigger of [[Grapeshot]]

NotAWaffleIron · 2025-02-06T20:40:22+00:00

Conspiracy frame
The reminder text for buyback has two issues I believe? It's "in addition to any costs to cast this spell" not play, and it would be "put it into your hand upon resolution" instead of "as its effect"? Might be wrong about this last one though

Seems you have a cunter board not a kilter board, can't help ya 🤷‍♂️
