birthing pod, dig thru time and ancestral recall banned in modern

[SHOWITME]

discuss

[Skittlez]

As it should be. Nothing to discuss.

[SHOWITME]

naw, blue finally became playable in modern :(((( fuck

now i got like 1 more week to come up with a new list to play in maryland

post suggestions pals.

before i had blue moon sleeved up, and planned on taking that.. now leaning towards bug control. not sure if blue moon is strong enough without dig through time // resurgence of zoo, which might be too fast to handle.

All the cool kids play Commander anyway ;)

I've been playing ad nauseam combo, my worst matchup was infect, and now since the format is getting grindier infect is having a hard time surviving

[SHOWITME]

liliana is back, which means thoughtseize, abrupt decay, murderous cut are also back. its a bad time to be playing infect.

also, pod gone, u will see increase in twin, which means u will see an increase in spellskite, which also means its a bad time to be playing infect.

thoutseize muta vaults all u need 2 win

[Tehwoot]

stopped playing, shit got to expensive to keep up with. Pod would have bummed me out if I was still playing.

ancestral recall pretty much is a one mana card that turns the tables and gives card advantage. Top decking ancestral is pretty much a link to a possible second ancestral, or a third, etc giving a larger card advantage because of it.. Pretty obvious why its banned.

fuck deck building from large pools. its all about drafting and sealed deck (rip)

nothing to discuss about limited, as it is also part of PT fate reforged, well drafting is anyway. Just posted this to see what pals on the box thought of the change to the banned list, seeing as it comes at a very critical time, just weeks before the pro tour and forcing most, if not all players, to reconstruct what some of us plan on sleeving up for next weekend.

What you say about my mama?

[Kimm Bare|y]

Played from Tempest to Mercadian Masques. The game went downhill shortly after IMO. Exponentially.

[Formshifter]

anyone else remember when magic was a good game and not just decks full of 1 card wins?

Commander still is good. When you have a hundred card deck with only one copy of any card it basically eliminates 95% of the bullshit that's in regular Magic. Of course, the whole commander thing adds its own unique level of bullshit, but that's part of the fun of the format :)

[xKoopa]

came in this thread

have no idea whats going on

[Kimm Bare|y]

Fuck that commander firegiant shit. Yeah ok 100 card one of every card decks are so much more accessible than a classic 60 card deck.

Fuck outta here with that bullshit

Hearthstone all the way brews. The neckbeard fun minus the smell

GG

*shrug* If you're like me and you buy packs you'll often have just one or two copies of lots of rares. In standard Magic that's not enough because you want four of everything, but in commander you just need one, so in that sense it is more accessible.

But that's not the great thing about the format: the great thing is the lack of predictability. In standard Magic you can have four of a card in a sixty card deck, which makes it very likely that you'll draw that card. If you throw in two similar cards (with four of each) you are all but guaranteed to see one of them, which makes all sorts of broken combos easy to achieve.

In commander even if you find five different cards that do the same thing you still have only a five in a hundred chance of drawing even one of them in any given draw. It completely changes the environment and moves the focus from building decks with predictable combos to building decks with good synergy, but with a million different ways they can be played.

I have heard great things about Hearthstone though.

hahahhaa, laughed hard at this.

stop talking about edh, that format is for autistic retards who just like to sit at a table for 6 hours and drool over each other. fucking people make me sick

mtg definitely was better back in the day (although tempest was a horrible set, and MM block was fucking trash for constructed but had a blast playing limited.... but urza block was sick, greatest of all time)

either way. i think i am still sleevin up blue moon for next weekend, hopefully i can finally day 2 a pro tour and stop being trash

[Errakus]

I only play Standard anyway, because I love to throw my money away.
