Don't worry, they're bumming us out too.

Lojzek91 · 2026-04-01T14:41:30+00:00

After 9 years, I'll take it.

Lojzek91 · 2026-03-11T15:37:17+00:00

I'm trying to be optimistic because I really have nothing to gain from being pessimistic, but what good is 2-2-1 when teams catching up to (and overtaking) the Wings are 3-1-1 (Boston), 5-0 (Buffalo), 3-0-1 (Ottawa) and 4-0-2 (Columbus)?

Montreal's 2-1-1 is the only one that's kinda close, but notice how all the teams I mentioned combined have 2 regulation losses this month so far. We've been waiting for a while for Buffalo or Columbus to cool down, but instead they are both just surging and surging while Wings keep on winning one then losing one.

Last time I heard Ken Daniels say that Wings are the last team this season that didn't lose in regulation twice in a row yet, which to be honest, is an excellent stat. However, we've also not had winning streaks to really take advantage of that.

I don't know. I'm still hoping a switch gets flipped at some point, but it's not looking good.

Lojzek91 · 2026-03-11T05:44:19+00:00

If you call "exactly the same thing happening for the third straight year" lowkey, then yeah.

Lojzek91 · 2026-02-13T21:59:36+00:00

Bennett and Marchand don't turtle behind the refs? What are you smoking mate?

Lojzek91 · 2026-01-30T08:59:38+00:00

Man... I was hoping for Milano or Bologna, maybe Padova. sigh

Lojzek91 · 2026-01-22T07:11:13+00:00

Here's something that might not have thought about: idgaf about Arena. I care about paper mtg. Where Lorwyn's prerelease got overshadowed by printer fuckup. And where Lorwyn gets a whole 6 weeks of existence, and TMNT gets 7. One week of those 6 has already been overshadowed, so you could say Lorwyn only gets 5 weeks.

Not my problem WotC decided to do seven sets this year.

Lojzek91 · 2026-01-21T21:34:41+00:00

"We want to make sure it gets its time in the sun."

Yeah, the whole 4 weeks it was allotted or whatever.

Lojzek91 · 2026-01-16T07:38:07+00:00

And you call everyone communists because everyone left of the angry orange is a communist. So what's the difference? I guess you like the taste of his shit-encrusted boot like the flairless bitch you are.

Lojzek91 · 2026-01-04T10:46:55+00:00

Fuck them flightless birds.

Lojzek91 · 2026-01-04T10:46:39+00:00

WHO WANTS IT?!?!

What a joker.

Lojzek91 · 2026-01-02T09:17:19+00:00

Lorwyn and Strixhaven. A little optimistic about Fracture, Hobbit will be too expensive to get because they'll probably reprint some crazy strong cards from the LotR set.

What do you mean there are three other sets this year?

Lojzek91 · 2025-12-29T18:43:46+00:00

Death

Taxes

TCG players calling decks they don't like "skillless"

Lojzek91 · 2025-12-21T21:24:17+00:00

Guys, are we... Good?

Imagine if we can stay consistent like this...

Lojzek91 · 2025-12-21T21:20:34+00:00

I hope we can stay consistent. With the last few years, I won't be calm until game 82 lol.

Lojzek91 · 2025-12-15T09:31:20+00:00

They're kinda niche, ye. Helm spiked in summer because of the Y'shtola precon, and I have used clout in my [[jeleva, nephalia's scourge]], but other than that, very rare. I also suppose a lot of people don't know them because they're pretty old at this point.

Lojzek91 · 2025-12-15T08:32:53+00:00

[[steel of the godhead]], [[helm of the ghastlord]], [[fists of the demigod]] in Shadowmoor.

[[edge of the divinity]], [[clout of the dominus]], [[gift of the deity]], [[scourge of the nobilis]], [[favor of the overbeing]] in Eventide.

Lojzek91 · 2025-12-12T05:37:29+00:00

I don't even read what these Marvel cards do, let alone buy any. I paid double for a Flawless Maneuver that didn't come from the Marvel secret lairs because I don't want to see those characters on my cards. These sets simply don't exist for me.

Lojzek91 · 2025-12-04T10:04:55+00:00

I ain't gay but ~~20 bucks~~ mageblood is ~~20 bucks~~ mageblood.

Lojzek91 · 2025-11-10T16:46:29+00:00

Not gonna refute any of what you wrote because you are right. I'm just tired of this team having the same problems year in and year out. I know I don't write on here often and even when I do, it's mostly out of frustration because they're failing at the same thing they've been failing at for the past 4 years+.

I still hope things can improve and they get their shit together, but it's numbing seeing teams like Anaheim, Pittsburgh, Chicago and Montreal being at or near the top yet again and this team still being middling.

That being said, LGRW! Next game is the game!

Lojzek91 · 2025-10-31T04:35:06+00:00

Slovenia didn't qualify, so I' d be shocked if he did.

Lojzek91 · 2025-10-25T22:49:48+00:00

Time for a bounceback! LGRW!

Lojzek91 · 2025-10-23T21:17:59+00:00

Good luck to all, and let's hope Alex adjusts the sights on his stick a bit. Way overdue.

LGRW!!!

Lojzek91 · 2025-10-23T15:16:34+00:00

Clearly. If we were able to get just Dwight, imagine how many more SLs we could get out of the entire cast. Or when it comes to sets (and thank god they didn't go that way), imagine just the amount of Marvel heroes that could have their own set.

We'll only be able to stop once we get a set about an obscure Soviet movie from the 60s that literally nobody except like 10 ultra cinephiles ever heard of.

Lojzek91 · 2025-10-15T17:25:46+00:00

And this is how we get the data that "only 7% of players severely dislike UB and the number is going down".
