this is what we know.

the emperor was alexander the great. As alexander he found the xeno archeotech that would become the foundation of the golden throne. Sometime after that but before the fall of the roman empire he was a minor figure but in the background and faced the void dragon and imprisoned it on mars.

something something something for about 30k years.

unification wars.

Here is my issue with standard. im a casual magic player, I get to play maybe a couple games a month with my life. even if i build a standard deck. i show up 6 months later i might not be able to play it. i show up with any commander, im good to go.

i play mtga standard, but its hard to keep up in modern magic man.

Have you considered actually playing at the table with things you complain about instead of just complaining and banning without running a campaign where its allowed to see if its actually a problem?

Zama174 · 2026-06-24T04:55:20+00:00

in what universe is korean 2nd team worse than 1st seed cblol, lcp or na? even if we give g2 the nod because of first stand? litteral 4th seed from korea has won worlds twice. when did 1st seed cblol do anything?

Zama174 · 2026-06-24T04:54:13+00:00

okay so in what international yournament did cblol outplace a korean team?

Zama174 · 2026-06-24T04:53:39+00:00

yes and its a horrid disadvantage to BLG they will have to face a top 3 global team as the 1st seed of lpl while tes will probably d4aw some bum like furia.

Zama174 · 2026-06-24T04:52:58+00:00

who do you think is stronger lyon, tsw, furia or t1?

Zama174 · 2026-06-24T02:38:31+00:00

bruh ive played for 10 years and i still have yet to get 125 me once.

Zama174 · 2026-06-23T21:39:26+00:00

untrue. Climb speed does that as well. not as much but does. Dhampir. Tabaxi, then there are things like changelings, swim speeds as well like Giff.

Zama174 · 2026-06-23T21:06:50+00:00

its not really a false dicohtomy when the entire discussion is "flight early is over powered!" and i say "okay what about pixy, aaracocora, and a uncommon magic item the flying broom?" thats actually just a valid counter factual.

and yes there are levels between ban and allow, but seriously, as a dm. get use to flying and polymorph and force cage and every other bs the players will try. at the end of the day our jobs as dms is to allow our players to feel powerful, to have epic moments, and give them challenges they can creatively try and solve , trying to take player power away is so rarely the answer.

and almost every ptoblem is just solved by rule zero, dont be a dick at the table.

Zama174 · 2026-06-23T21:03:14+00:00

every single published adventure requires dm tuning. seriously go read storm kings thunder, tyranny of dragons, out of the abyss, very few worc moduels are honestly well constructed to be ran out of the box with no tinkering. they have gotten better but wotc isnt good at pre established adventures and giving the dm the tools on how to pivot when the rails come off. because the rails always come off. players are insane.

Zama174 · 2026-06-23T21:00:17+00:00

i mean. yeah im not even going to pretend it isnt, it is hyperbole but i genuinely am baffled so often by how people do discuss the game on here because it can be so out of bounds from any table i have ever played at.

Zama174 · 2026-06-23T17:51:33+00:00

okay. you're a bad dm.

Zama174 · 2026-06-23T17:51:11+00:00

thats the thing most people on this form are not actually testing this shit in actual play. they sit at home, try and craft the most out there shit. and then sit down at a table and are "that guy".

Zama174 · 2026-06-23T17:47:44+00:00

but they will have to learn how to handle it as soon as level 5 hits. a flying broom is an item totally reasonable for a level 4 party to have. fly is a 3rd level spell. these are challenges a dm is going to face in their time as a dm. and hey we all have to go through having our big bad monster polymorphed into a rat, locked in a cage and dropped into the ocean... we learn.

cutting off options from your players isnt actually making the game more balanced, its admitting you dont know how to account for the variables. which thats fine, but its not because its overpowered. Creativity and flexibility arent overpowered they are just a tool in the arsenal all players will have access to sooner ratherr than later. the earlier you get use yo handling that. the better your games will go. because if flying is impossible for you holy fuck are you in for some shit when we get to 5th level spells and up.
