THAT dude's voice grates on my audio processors. It's way worse when he's visible in the video because the voice does not seem like it should match the face.
Thoracle is literally the worst card ever printed and I would be fine with them hitting ctrl+Z and banning it from all formats.
I swear he has undiagnosed dyslexia. His pronunciation is comically bad. I know he sometimes does it intentionally for engagement but some of that is natural.
Possible but extremely unlikely
E Tron gets better but probably still won't be top tier. Bogles isn't really good enough anymore and I don't see the new support cards changing that or fixing its problems. Same with infect. 0% chance of a Belcher ban
0% chance Fury is unbanned this soon after its banning. Maybe in the future, but extremely unlikely. WOTC is very gun shy about unbanning previously banned Modern cards after GGT gave Dredge a steroid shot in the ass.
Grist is very solid, but not ban worthy. Will likely slot into Yawgmoth shells. Agree on Ral
Legacy is weird. Since the card pool is so huge the random bulk becoming strong has happened before. Though it's usually a case of a new archetype or deck being created rather than slotting into an already existing one.
When I first saw his photo he really did look like I expected.
Sadly, it hasn't been updated since he tried making a casino scam channel.
Big words from a myr with a nosejob.
I'm pretty sure that they designed the set for Aspiringspike, dude sounds over the moon over how it looks like it turned out. He wanted a bunch of powerful build around cards, most of them not for existing T1 and T2 decks and that is exactly what he got.
The guy has had more successful businesses than videos if you believe what he says, but he's always broke somehow.
The curse of being good at limited is that everyone malds at you at every opportunity.
I just finished my event, and I switched from a mid to bad mardu modify strategy in round one to 5-color colorless in round two and it took me to a 2-1 finish. Unsealing of kozelek and path of annihilation are gas, and I think we’re in for eldrazi summer (in limited).
It's definitely better as a draft set than sealed, and it's a worse limited format than MH2. I opened a decent amount of money, but the sheer pricing of the set means no events will fire. As always with modern magic, a good rare will 100% take over the game and if you can't answer it it's over.
Particularly since you can both tap the spawn for mana and then sac them for more mana, the card's acceleration is nuts. The main thing that'll hold it back is that it's likely to be drafted quite a bit, so it'll be hard to get all the pieces - and you have to be all-in for path. Unsealing is just plain nuts, though.
Yeah, but so long as the removal suite in the set is decent, I don't really hate it. There's also a lot of really solid artifact-enchantment hate, some of which is good enough to be mainboarded, so I don't think that this'll turn out to be too much of a prince set. But yeah if someone plays the bestow phoenix you're not in for a good time, that's for sure.
I like the lands?
The Wanderer and Kaito. Possibly Araithia and Tayo, but a reach on that one given her second job.
Wanderer and Kaito are a romance but not a couple, because she's too lost in the multiverse for them to move past their childhood friendship. Plus with Kaito in Spookyhouse, were going to get confirmation that he's desparked and following omenpaths to find her, so the brief stability they had prePhryrexia is over. I don't even know who the other two are and I'm pretty into MtG lore and they have no cards so they don't exist to WotC until they read about them on a Magic wiki.
Clearly powercrept to sell overpriced packs. Skipping entirely, as I did Tijuana Junction and will skip Bloomburrow, and maybe buy the cheap singles I want if Spookyhouse doesn't drive me out of the game all together before I skip Whacky Racers next year.
Nekusar x Tergrid is canon in my heart.
