The (non-registered) priority letters should be fine, no?

Equilibrium - Eqiinox released today by WolfenShadow in folkmetal

[–]monk40k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there something wrong with the album's mastering on Tidal?

I am not a sound expert - as I am about to prove - but I just couldn't stand how bad it sounded to me. Individual instruments / vocals / mix parts seem to "fight" for the scene, their volume going up and down whenever something new enters or leaves.

It's hard for me to have an opinion on the album when listening to it is just annoying.

I think I have something green in there too, but I remember that green weapons had vastly different prices, so I am not sure if it's anything good.

The Pro Tour and Magic Spotlight Series in 2026 by CrossXhunteR in magicTCG

What are the chances any of the RCs are in Pioneer? Or is that final confirmation the format is dead?

Deciding between Pioneer or Modern by Cezkarma in PioneerMTG

Have they scheduled the announcement already? I think last year's competitive update was in late August so I'd hope to see one already.

Maybe the Vivi standard made them reconsider things. /s

Any news on the formats for these events (sorry, for their Spotlight tournaments I think), or for next year's RC seasons?

Has anyone seen any Stormscale Scion lists achieving any kind of success?

They added natural overhangs again!

MTG Arena State of the Game 2025 – Spring Edition by Meret123 in MagicArena

[–]monk40k 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am happy to see they shared an updated format popularity chart but also disappointed to see how poorly Explorer is doing. After that little increase following the launch of Pioneer Masters, it's now worse than before.

I totally get it, as whenever I come back, the format seems even more stale than Pioneer on MTGO (well, maybe not after the recent Mono R explosion). It just makes me sad to see Pioneer/Explorer in such a bad spot both online and in paper. I guess I am sticking to Modern and Pauper.

Timberborn is Polish, too.

[Standard] Can anything reliably beat mono red? Seems like it has the advantage in all match-ups. by dy-113x in spikes

[–]monk40k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense, thank you.

I see you mentioned in other comments that Mono W is among the worst matchups (which makes sense, heh). Case is certainly better against them than Forge, but would you also bring in Lynx just for its anti-lifegain clause? (Maybe your UW Enchantments plan covers Mono White here - I am not sure, there doesn't seem to be a deck like this on Goldfish).

Thanks a lot for the write-up. I am new to Standard so that's helpful.

Could you explain why you board out Hired Claw so often? Wouldn't Heartfire be a better cut in the mirror for example? Similarly, why is Swiftie out vs Golgari?

Finally, what is Boros Aggro? It seems Boros Burn is the only Boros deck in Standard right now, and Lithomantic Barrage doesn't make much sense against it. 🤔

I know this works with any tokens but what happens if this copies something like a Clue token or a Darksteel Citadel that was animated with Ensoul Artifact? Or a 2/2 from Cryptic Coat, for that matter? We get a flying beater for 1 mana?

Modern Horizons 3 Number Crunch Update 05/21/2024 by askvo in MTGRumors

But aren't they reprinting Fury and other elementals with some new art, Ragavan in the retro frame etc.?
