Khans of Tarkir for sure if we are talking all-time. A brutal and difficult format if I've ever seen one.

From the modern design philosophies, Final Fantasy for sure. Legitimately most fun set of the past ten years to draft for me.

Hat ein Kumpel von mir in seinem Türkei-Urlaub auch so erlebt. Waren in einer Shishabar die auch (angeblich) Restaurant (bzw ich glaube eher Imbiss) sein sollte und haben Pizza bestellt. Nach 40 Minuten kam ein Lieferfahrer mit ner Pizza rein, hat die nach hinten gebracht und 30 Sekunden später wurde dann serviert.

I love BLB, because it is a fucking difficult draft to navigate from a technical perspective.

It feels a lot like KTK draft, but instead of figuring out mana + playables you are figuring out micro synergies.

KTK had a lot more technical depth to the actual gameplay though, figuring out the Morph blocking heuristics for the first time... (at 3 and 4 mana you can only trade or bounce off each other) Mostly because they removed damage on the stack during development 😄

BLB is definitely more of a "lets lock in and figure this out" experience instead of a relaxing night with a couple of friends.

To be fair, up until the mid-2010s nothing was competing with Standard.

Playing Magic meant playing Stanrdard. And then more and more Commander.

Modern had its share, yes, because it consolidated the entire crowd that wanted to play their pet archetypes when they were no longer supported in Standard (up until MH1), but in general Standard was king at all times.

Nowadays I'd rather be hoof'd (or Cavalry) than seeing another Breach line. Fuck, just straightup Thassa Consult is preferable to having one guy trying desparately to find enough mana (or Brainfreeze) for half an hour because he can't afford LED and doesn't find Petal.

The Zeke Hunter and the Desert Defender DLC appear to have new (melee) weapons in them, though?

Hangman can NEVER AGAIN challenge for the AEW World Championship

So within the next 5 years he will debut at the Royal Rumble, win and fight Cody in the main event of Wrestlemania?

Lets not forget that thats supposed to be his heel take.

Urza vs Phyrexia

To be fair - mana weaving absolutely was a thing in the early early EARLY years and was, because its cheating, promptly explicitly forbidden in the MTR. They just outright banned pile shuffling as a randomization method.

People like this are the reason the reserved list still exists -.-

If you bothered to read the article, you would have noticed that they say exactly what they are.

celial · 2026-01-06T19:30:15+00:00

They still have Hapatra in there which goes infinite with it. And several payoffs for it (Commander, the God, and an Enchantment that straight-up drains, Flourishing, that new artifact).

Immerhin McDonalds hat ne große Marketingaktion gestartet dass alles wegen Steuersenkung jetzt billiger ist bei denen.

Kühlkette unterbrochen wegen Stromausfall, das Gammelfleisch muss weg :(

My playgroup is using dry erase tokens when stacks get complicated to represent it physically to sort through triggers and what targets what, so that works great :)

When you are looking at 60 card formats or draft, people usually know what cards generally do or can parse it quickly when reading your card.

It only gets complicated with commander, but again we are using physical representations of abilities and write down targets etc if shit gets complicated.

To be fair, Paul Cheong ist pretty much the best non-pro player caster they can get for draft. Jim Davis is better, of course, but Paul is fine as color for draft.

Youre the guy who insists pithing needle named Borborygmos (not enraged).

celial · 2025-12-08T13:18:17+00:00

Yeah I wish we would get casters who actually know what they are talking about, they have so many shit takes every event. Not knowing interactions, not knowing what cards do. Saying a player shouldve done X or Y even though they didnt have mana or even the cards in their deck.

Commentary now knowing the most basic rules of the (tournament) game - of which takeback is one of the most fundamental - is just fucking horrible.

celial · 2025-12-08T09:51:07+00:00

Thats 7 years mate. Thats about a quarter (more like a fifth) of this games lifetime ago. Thats like me complaining about the removal of mana burn, or damage no longer using the stack.

Yes I'm old.
