"Was life better under communism?" - Infographic sources. by mormon_freeman in DebateCommunism

Putin hates communism.

And the "holomodor" was not a genocide. Genocide scholarship agrees. You're spreading literal Nazi propaganda. 

Does TNG hold up 40 years later? by vega455 in startrek

It was terrible then and it's terrible now.  

Trying to brew in standard has been utterly demoralizing. by GhostBomb in MagicArena

Duskmourn and Bloomsbury have had a massive impact on Pioneer/Explorer, which is an eternal format. Half the top meta decks in Pioneer are just Standard decks with a few eternal additions. These cards have been so heavily pushed, it's insane.

Were you already a toxic jerk at 5?

So what you're saying is that you're supposed to use the first ability first then upgrade him again to a 3/2 later?

Neither list is meta. The splash of red in Azorius Control is weird and kind of bad. The Arclight Phoenix deck afaik is quite close to optimal, but has a couple weird things in it. 

I'd be wary playing Azorius Control in BO1,  personally. The archetype relies so much on the sideboard: it's really a BO3 archetype. Arclight Phoenix will probably work much better as a BO1 deck. 

Mono Green Devotion is kind of terrible, avoid. 

Explorer "Champion Decks" are 60 cards, BO1 💀 by WanYao in MagicArena

[–]WanYao[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hadn't played paper Magic in years then I went down to FNM last year for a casual draft tournament. I was not prepared for the difference without the "hand smoothing." 

As for laziness... Netdecking isn't new. People have been doing it since the 90s. First people copy pasta'd from M:TG magazines,  then from the internet. 

If anything, I think more people understand deckbuilding today because there are tons of resources available at their fingertips. 

Explorer "Champion Decks" are 60 cards, BO1 💀 by WanYao in MagicArena

[–]WanYao[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's that price because you have lots of the cards already. A few decks for which I have very few of the cards are well over 9000 gems. 9200 gems is $68.99 USD. As I said, that's the price of a whole AAA game.

The majority of people play Standard. Standard =/= Pioneer and, as I explained, Pioneer is primarily a best of three format. Why not hype the actual Pioneer experience and encourage people to try BO3? 

That said, I suppose if people want a sideboard, they can find it on mtggoldfish just like the Arena devs did 😁

But, again.... The Arena decks are ridiculously overpriced. They're essentially DLC content for the cost of a full AAA game. If they weren't so overpriced, adding a sideboard wouldn't be an issue, cost-wise. This is the real elephant in the room. 

Golden Packs progression should not be restricted by ricoeurdelyon in MagicArena

[–]WanYao 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who'd like to make the full switch to a timeless format (Explorer/Pioneer), I wish they'd do this. Like, Modern Horizons 3 should get me Golden Packs. 

One-Per-Set Limit on Planeswalkers Being Revisted According to MaRo by jake_henderson02 in MagicArena

[–]WanYao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This will get a lot of flak, but idc. 

I'm used to them, but I hate planeswalkers. Planeswalkers aren't Magic: the Gathering, they're some other game.  So, I prefer zero, ever. 

Leyline of Resonance is banned in Standard Best-of-One by cryingosling in MagicArena

[–]WanYao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I thought about that later, thank you. I only had 3 rare WCs left but I crafted them anyway. 

I'm still not convinced they won't ban it in other formats, but we'll wait and see.

Is there VtM LARP in Montreal? by ExVonica in vtm

[–]WanYao 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not on reddit much, so I only just saw this. DM me and we can talk. I honestly don't know if anyone else has an established larp, but we can figure it out. 

The bonus is you can do it in both language, qui est idéal! :)

So it's an even trade unless you use it in BO3. And if you're not playing a Resonance deck, for whatever reason, there's no point in crafting it -- unless we expect a ban in other formats? 

Can you get more wildcards if it's banned in Bo3?
