The Magic: The Gathering Thread

Here is a You Tube Video explaining most of the problems Magic Pro Tours actually have on Twitch

https://youtu.be/uy4BESjEMX8

Magic Pro Tour got as many people watching it as Combo Breaker?

Bunch of cucks can’t get their own fanbase to watch a game that has outside the worst entry of a 30 year old fighting game series with a way smaller player base?

Cucks.

Funny enough that’s exactly what I was aiming at with my show CYS Radio. Unfortunately we had one dude ruin it because he wanted us to be more informative and more open to everybody instead of saying all the ridiculous shit we were gonna do.

M:TG community can stay ass.

They focus on Type 2 trying to boost sales and the same players over and over. I feel in the FGC this is ok since the gap between Punk and the 40th best person is HUGE while in MTG the gap between whoever you consider 1 and the 1,000th is relatively close. They also refuse to lose money so making a PT a format like Legacy to bring OG skilled players who are beyond great at that format doesn’t happen. This could oddly be a smart idea as it would showcase players length of play and that people could play this game for 15-20+ years and showcase the games history.

Did you watch CB? The part where Tasty Steve I think was talking about the YUGIOH theme, as I watched that I was like would of been sick AF in a magic stream. YOOOOOOUR MOOOOOOVE!

Its funny I find Magic way more fun to play and Street/Mahvel so much for fun to watch.

Till then fuck this game as a whole as I stick to 1 Legacy deck and enjoy myself when I do decide to play which is pretty rare recently.

Sadly a while back like you I came into needing TONS of money for some shit so I have to soon dump most of my shit to get that bread. Luckily BR Reanimator was a cheap AF deck to finish and I actually enjoy so I don’t have to just move on.

Hence why I stick to mostly commander.

You would’ve liked my show. I had so many ridiculous things planned but that one person with their shitty attitude. Its so weird how try hard people wanna be in M:TG. Ridiculous actually.

(It’s kind of bad that when I see “Marvel” now, I just think of that stupid Aetherworks Marvel card. It’s to the point where “When’s Marvel” mentally ends with “going to be banned from Standard?” now.)

I don’t really follow any Magic: The Gathering coverage beyond MTGGoldfish’s videos and, less frequently as of late, ChannelFireball’s non-tournament match videos on Youtube. As such, I don’t have any opinion on the above talk beyond sniping that I can’t say I’m surprised that, even just in passing, it seems like WotC is still shooting itself in the foot as of late, which is a damn shame; the concept of “e-sports” still largely strikes me as insipid anyway.

Anyway, I haven’t been keeping up with Modern as of late, so I was a bit surprised to learn that apparently some Affinity decks are starting to use Day’s Undoing, especially since that card barely made an impact when it was in Standard when Magic Origins was around given the Blue mythic rare everyone cared about from that set was Jace, Vyrn’s Prodigy. Still, when Day’s Undoing goes off in optimal circumstances for Affinity, it seems extremely disgusting:

Gee. I leave for almost half of a year and come back to see that moderating the American politics thread has corrupted you into using this dumb word. I’m not sure whether to blame myself or pedoviejo or both.

Modern is healthy and fun. There are a bunch of new decks getting around at the moment

Dark Ritual was never printed in a Modern legal set. Also,

http://magic.wizards.com/en/events/coverage/gpkob17/top-8-decklists-2017-05-28

Recent GP top 8. Even the familiar decks are a bit strange to look at.

Neither. One of our local players had a mild stroke after Trump’s election and started calling everybody cucks. The US are cucks, mexicans are cucks, everything is cucks.

Cuck is hilarious when its coming out of the mouth of a Mexican trying to make sense of the US politics. Although thinking moderating that thread would cuck me though, :coffee:

Yep, last actual set (and not a premium printing, Dual Deck or some sort of collection) is Mercadian Masques.
Only other way you see legal play of Dark Ritual other than Legacy, Vintage and Commander is in Draft as Amonkhet Invocations are all legal for draft (but not standard).

(Noted, Pertho.)

Gods, the typing format on those special Amonkhet cards are just such as pain in the ass to try to decipher. Why the hell didn’t they think to make the type font of the actual name and types clearer?

So “cuck” to you is the same as “toxic” is to me, @“The Damned”. I’m not even sure what it means anymore with how often it’s used. My best guess is “stuff I don’t like talking about”, but eh.

This is one of the few non-gameplay MTG content that I wholeheartedly enjoyed.

Forgot about this broken card:

Didn’t know this happened /hasbro

That’s pretty sweet. Wizards should put real money in boosters instead of expeditions.

I have been doing ok with this UW Cycling Control list:

MD:
3 Drake Haven
2 Kefnet
4 Censor
2 Blessed Alliance
2 Immolating Glare
2 Stasis Snare
2 Void Shatter
2 Disallow
2 Forsake the Worldly
4 Hieroglyphic Illumination
4 Cast Out
4 Fumigate
2 Pull from Tomorrow
4 Irrigated Farmland
4 Prairie Stream
4 Port Town
6 Island
6 Plains
1 Geier Reach Sanitarium

SB:
2 Linvala, the Preserver
2 Stasis Snare
1 Blessed Alliance
1 Immolating Glare
3 Negate
2 Dispel
1 Kefnet
1 Sphinx of the Final Word
2 Forsake the Worldly

For the past three weeks or so I have only lost to the pseudo-mirror (Jeskai Cycling Control) because this one guy in my area plays a deck that sacrifices all chance of beating Zombies or Mardu in order to prey on control decks (Sphinx of the Final Word and full set of Negates maindeck, LOL).

I feel negate is very maindeckable right now. I’m playing at least 2 md in my Bounty of the luxa deck. Too many good targets. Still, standard is ass.

Btw, you guys saw the new Nicol Bolas ? I’m not impressed and I doubt it will see much play. The old Bolas was better and cooler, his ultimate was badass. There’s a new GR walker that I feel will have the same fate as Arlin. But, the new 3 mana sweeper is very intruiging. not untapping for a turn is big, but so is a 3 mana unconditional wrath.
