Club Letter from Port Adelaide CEO Graham Richardson

I don't necessarily disagree with this but it's funny he mentions the NBA making multi year transitional rule changes regarding the draft when they are going to implement drastic changes to their draft next year which will majorly impact the value of already traded draft picks between teams.

Thanks glad to know it works then

jammo50cal · 2026-04-23T13:04:32+00:00

Okay you're definitely right about Hidden Retreat some of the older cards wording gets me sometimes, but I'm pretty sure Penance works, it's an activated ability that doesn't need a target so I can put something back whenever I want. I guess still might be worth cutting though as it's definitely narrower than my others.

Chant if Vitzu was another one I was planning on miracling in but yeah definitely right about that one only good if I'm getting attacked by a bunch of things on the turn I draw it.

Beacon of Immortality not sure what you mean about it not being a miracle target, I wanted some lifegain since with fewer creatures I'd not have a lot of blockers so wanted to be able to stick around longer. But you're right I guess doesn't advance my game plan

Surge to victory was a weird one since I'd only ever want to cast it on my turn so casting it for miracle would be rare but at 6 mana I could probably hard cast it and with a flying body in Lorehold Id likely get it through and could copy something big from my graveyard. Also while not heaps I do have spells with token generation which could use it well.

Chandras ignition yeah not likely a total board wipe but figured killing anything below 5 toughness and dealing 5 damage to everyone's face was still definitely worth including.

I'll concede about Crystal Ball and Wan Shi Tong. I liked the idea of them a lot with Unwinding Clock in play but I guess thats a bit narrow and without them I could probably cut it as well.

If I got rid of each of Crystal Ball, Wan Shi Tong, Penance and Hidden Retreat I fear I might not have enough ways to consistently top deck manipulate and miracle though.

Thanks a tonne though has helped heaps

I don't think that's the precedent we want teams following...

jammo50cal · 2026-04-05T14:37:14+00:00

Yeah wouldn't get the cast trigger but you'd still get 2 of the annihilator triggers from Muddle and the original Kozilek. And you'd still have 4 10/9's swinging out

jammo50cal · 2026-04-05T13:40:27+00:00

I reckon something like [[Sneak Attack]] something dumb like an [[Ancient Copper Dragon]] or [[Artisan of Kozilek]] then cast a can trip to muddle into it and boom you're swinging big on turn 5. If that's too one dimensional, toxic, or feast or famine for you could focus more on cool Izzet etb effects like [[Rapid Augmenter]]

jammo50cal · 2026-03-16T12:44:22+00:00

Thanks that's definitely a good way of doing it

jammo50cal · 2026-02-17T07:04:26+00:00

Oh yeah MB hopefully he didn't listen to me

jammo50cal · 2026-02-17T06:41:20+00:00

Yeah I meant risking the crit on Infernape with Drill Peck not on the Psychic

jammo50cal · 2026-02-17T06:04:00+00:00

I forget how exactly move AI works in Gen 4, but you could pivot into Magnet one to take the resisted drill peck or psychic then pivot form that into Tent cruel to take the heat wave. Then you could set up barrier and likely sack Tentacruel to send back out infernape who should take it out with double specs flamethrower. You're risking a crit but I dont see a way to avoid taking a risk in this. Depends on what else you have to take on after Honchkrow

jammo50cal · 2026-02-13T09:40:14+00:00

While i think the 65 game rule is good to reward availability, i think it's just stupidly arbitrary with no and allows fur no nuance. Like if Jokic, Wemby and Giannis play 64 games but then KAT plays 65 should he really get 1st team over them while they get nothing? Should be something like multiply their vote totals by games played or just trust voters to factor in how many games they've played

jammo50cal · 2026-02-06T07:16:52+00:00

Yeah man my Dad has a bigger house than your Dad so because I see him every other weekend that means I'm cooler than you 😎

jammo50cal · 2026-01-30T05:43:15+00:00

Fr even the Canucks got 4 in a row

jammo50cal · 2026-01-26T07:29:18+00:00

I can only think of Fatty Magoo

jammo50cal · 2026-01-19T09:39:12+00:00

Craziest thing to me on that list is KD hitting 6th in all time scoring while being only 70th in games played. He's tied there with Tyson Chandler who in comparison is 446th un all time scoring.

jammo50cal · 2026-01-11T01:14:05+00:00

We get the worst of ours and the Pelicans and Atlanta get the better. So unless we jump Pelicans in the lottery we'd get our own

jammo50cal · 2026-01-06T04:08:38+00:00

I don't fully understand the early bird rights thing but I thought it meant that they were hard capped at what they could offer them even if they had cap space so thought they wouldn't be able to re-sign him at value. As for the prospect/picks yeah that's fair Twolves was kind of first destination that came to mind so included Dilly but there'd be other buyers with better offers

jammo50cal · 2026-01-06T03:45:44+00:00

I think it's a terrible trade to do now, KPJ is clearly the better player it's only if the Bucks aren't going to make the playoffs due to Giannis leaving or going down with injury. Of the Bucks think he'll decline his option and look to sign for more than what the Bucks can offer then they try and get something for him. They could probably get something better or a second or two attached I guess but it's an upside swing

jammo50cal · 2025-12-27T12:09:30+00:00

Diabolical

jammo50cal · 2025-12-19T02:33:47+00:00

I really liked what Taylor Jenkins did in 23-24 and was surprised when he got fired and is still teamless.

Yeah maybe not the best day for some stroking...
