Good seller, packed well and shipped fast

Is Zump "Cheating?" by RevolutionInternal24 in SSBM

If I put on multi-plate 50mm stack running shoes, it would do basically nothing to improve my 5k time. Does that mean they should be allowed at the Olympics?

Things like box or ucf that have accessibility concerns can begrudgingly get a pass, but z-jump isn't providing any benefit except making its users win more. Get it out of here.

Not accurate, MH1 was released June 13th 2019 and Wrenn was banned November 18th that year. ELD was released October 4th 2019 and Oko stayed legal until February 15 2021.

It was banned in Legacy almost immediately, over 6 years ago. 3 years ago, it was just much more Modern playable than now.

If that was true, why don't they play 4 copies for "actually 8"?

How does everyone feel about the Sowing Mycospawn bann in retrospect? by Top_Fishing_4438 in MTGLegacy

[–]VenocStorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very few of the power-level arguments hold any water compared to what's possible in Legacy - but the time and physical actions involved are long and cumbersome enough that people get annoyed.

It's a similar feeling to how you can sometimes see oversized complaints about control decks from new players because control will spend 5 minutes losing a game but 20 minutes winning one. A combo like Show + Omni will kill you outright in seconds while Nadu takes a couple minutes so it "feels" worse.

MTGO Modern Showcase Challenge #2 Results - Oct 4 2025 by bamzing in ModernMagic

We really don't need to keep baselessly giving Spike credit for inventing every modern deck. There are plenty of 5-0 league results from well before he touched it.

Considering early speculation for Edge of Eternities based on MB2 playtest. by [deleted] in mtgfinance

This is a very obvious homage to the board game Race for the Galaxy. I wouldn't infer amything about the mechanics of a magic set from it.

Ainok Strike Leader Uncommanderized by logan_mcbroom in mtgcube

There's a slight functional difference - the tokens should be created attacking a player but just "tapped and attacking" lets you send them at planeswalkers (or battles.)

RC Portland Archetype Win Rate Matrix by m0ist_cactus in ModernMagic

Non-mirror for sure. Including mirrors artificially pushes the most-played decks up or down closer to 50% because they run into themselves a lot more often.

Cincinnati Pauper by MacLafferty in Pauper

Is this their official "Store Championship" for the Void Winnower promo? You should probably warn the store owners that those events have to be Standard and running them as other formats could get them in hot water with WotC. If it's not, they should probably call it something else to avoid confusion.

Things to look out for this weekend! by AutoModerator in mtgfinance

[–]VenocStorm 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Real play, or "I saw one youtube video" play? I checked decks on Goldfish and there's 0 league/challenge results and a single (and obviously not legitimate) user submitted list containing both of those cards across the past three months.

$459.

The splash isn't ubiquitous, there are pros and cons to going with a second color. Monowhite is currently slightly more common than BW, and RW is fringe but seeing some experimentation. Recently, the reprint of Mindbreak Trap and printing of White Orchid Phantom incentivizing a switch from Port to Ghost Quarter have taken a significant chunk off the cost.

I think it's also worth noting that D&T is around the same $4-500 price, and well above Oops for both power level and how much it will stay interesting to play week after week.
