Do you guys see any future to a U/R counterburn deck with Curious Homunculus, Guttersnipe and Insult//Injury?
Insult//Injury deals 12 damage to face if you cast both parts with Guttersnipe on board.

It's 10 damage since Guttersnipe's effect will resolve before Insult. Even then they're gonna kill Guttersnipe, or you, before you have a chance to do your 9 mana wombo combo.

Hopefully Harsh Mentor can push it back down again but we'll have to see. Tron is the most degenerate cancerous deck in the format though, its not even hard to get it online either despite what babbies will tell you. If you start with even 1 piece in hand and a map you'll easily have it turn 4, two of the lands in hand can almost assure a turn 3 tron since between map and sylvan scrying thats 8 ways to find the other land not counting just naturally drawimg into it, then all you need is one of the many dumb payoff cards in hand and you are assured a win. I saw a game where a competent Jund player kept a good hand in the blind, his opponent was on Tron and didnt cast a single spell the entire game until turn 4 where he cast ONE fucking Ugin and won the game off that and no other spells.

Would be fine, might give normal Jund a resurgence. This is the most plausible unban and the one id like to see most.

Without meaningful land destruction or disruption this should stay banned. Its not the most broken thing on the list but its a strategy that is hard to fight.
>Birthing Pod
Not sure about this one
>JtMS
Yeah hes probably fine, a 4 mana walker isnt gonna make control good suddenly especially since tapping out turn 4 for a brainstorm or fateseal can easily be a death sentence against the aggressive decks in the format
>Punishing Fire
Would like to see this but I feel like its giving Jund way too much power. Maybe.
>Second Sunrise
No. Stupid 30 minute turn combo decks are annoying and unfun to sit across from. This can stay banned forever.
>Umezawa's Jitte
Way too good, completely warps the meta around it if it becomes legal. Never ever.

Another no, gives too many free wins and takes the skill out of the game.

>sets a ceiling on the format

I'm sorry, your durdley bullshit flavor of the week deck will never be good even if you had tron banned. Aggro is good because, surprise surprise, killing your opponent quickly is generally a good idea.

>>53046368
>Which card sucks that you want to play with?
Blood Moon, everyone says its an amazing card but the decks built around it suck ass

NuGideon is going to warp the format such that only tron or it are passable decks.

Eventually wizards will realize this, and ban tron, because it's keeping the truly good control decks that could fight gideon tribal out of the format

And finally, modern will be diverse and perfect.

>>53046517
Plus the small servers are usually never laggy

>>53046530
I play aggro so that argument doesnt work. It does set a ceiling on the format, decks like Abzan and Jund literally cannot beat Tron except through extreme luck.

>>53046552
So we have two so far, can we get at least two more?

What? Why doesn't everyone play tron and aggro then? Why does anyone even bother with control or midrange?

>>53046530
Also
>inb4 b-but theres sideboard cards that you may not even see that dont actually stop them like Ghost Quarter and Ceremonious Rejection!
Only SB card that beats them is recurred Fulminators or Crumble and good luck getting to 4 lands for Crumble while they exile your lands with Karn.

>>53046569
Man do I love playing the Tron vs Junk matchup

>>53046547
RUG delver is the best blood moon deck. Don't let jerks tell you the deck is bad either

>>53046648
They don't. Do you even play modern? Most decks are tron variants are aggressive strategies

>>53046344
Rite of flame would push storm over the edge, never gonna happen. Just be happy with your turn to blood moons

>>53046721
Not on modo, but plenty of people play both jund and abzan at my shop

>>53046648
Because Jund/Abzan have good matchups against the aggro decks and a lot of combo like Scapeshift/Ad Nauseam thanks to hand disruption. Tron s not the only deck you'll play against but going up against it is an assured loss usually which is bullshit since it wasnt about skill it was about being matched against a deck like that, that preys on slower decks while also having decent game against everything else.
Ill elaborate on this further by saying that you can tune/make a deck to beat another deck usually, theres a guy at my LGS that has a hateboner for Burn and builds decks to beat it, but this comes at a cost of making your deck worse in the other matchups, notably in this example he generally wins against Burn because he has so many main and sideboard cards to fight it, however he usually never makes top 8 because he loses to every non Burn matchup because his decks arent constructed with a wide array of answers, the only answers he has are to Burn. With Tron this is not the case, the deck has a 90-10 win rate against any non fast aggro deck and still has game against Aggro thanks to chalice. Its a catch all deck that completely invalidates certain strategies because if you cant win before Ugin or Karn comes down then you cant win at all.

>>53046648
It costs a lot of money to switch. As the cost decreases (due to media format, such as Modo or xMage), the presence of tron jumps up huge amounts.

>>53045579
sfm won't be format warping but it may make non-green decks playing white better. If there's any problem it would be junk.

>>53046098
>Being this retarded two threads in a row

>>53046804
>Jund/Abzan have good matchups against the aggro decks and a lot of combo like Scapeshift

Pffffffffffthahahahhahaahaha
No

As someone who plays Jund and Titanshift, this is bullshit. Titanshift is a borderline unwinnable matchup

>>53046804
>the deck has a 90-10 win rate against any non fast aggro deck
This is a complete embellishment. I've been playing Esper Control for years and Tron is 70-30 in their favor at worst. It's closer to 50-50 now that they don't run Eye/Emrakul. I know it's harder for decks without Path and counterspells, but it's not completely unwinnable.

Basically Tron has no opportunity cost to having such a strong late game, there is no downside to playing cards that absolutely rape slower fair decks like All is Dust or Ugin other then a slight disadvantage against Aggro decks thats being shored up by Chalice. The reason I and most people have an issue with this is that it takes the player skill out of Magic, getting paired against Tron may as well just be recieving a game loss. It makes the game less about studying matchups, practicing, and playing tight and more about "Who did I get matched up with tonight?"

>>53046804
So assuming what you said is true, what exactly is the problem? Modern, regardless of what you play, is a pretty fast format. Doesn't some deck have to be the "cap" on the format? Even if you ban tron, something else will take its place and become hated, no?

>>53046648
Read this: https://www.mtggoldfish.com/metagame/modern#online

Affinity: 9%

Eldrazi Tron: 6%

Dredge: 6%

Storm: 5.5%

Burn: 5%

Death's Shadow: 5%

Notice anything?

All the decks in the 5%+ Range are either Tron, or fast aggro/combo.

>getting paired against Tron may as well just be recieving a game loss

Ah, so you're butthurt *and* bad. You make it sound like tron has a 90% win rate against the field, which it doesn't. Good luck out there kid.

>>53046951
No, the deck that goes the tallest in the format after Tron would be decks like Abzan or UW control playing stuff like Elspeth Suns Champion, but they have to have 6 lands in play to cast her not three. Tron should be banned for the same reason cloudpost is, fast mana is unhealthy for Modern. Karn is fair at 7 mana not at 3.

>>53046951
Not him, but my problem with tron is that by design, it is unfair and protected. Wizards, for retarded reasons, refuses to print good nonbasic land destruction. Wizards, for greedy as fuck reasons, refuses to print good planeswalker removal. Tron takes advantage of both of these, and as a combo deck, doesn't have to deal with removal as much as any other combo deck. If we got a wasteland reprint, or a Price of Progress reprint, or From the Ashes, or Ruination, I'd probably be fine with Tron.

Wait people are playing Storm again? What changed?

>>53047018

There are a number of decks that bukkake tron (affinity comes to mind), but any slightly more reactive deck is fighting up such a steep hill based on the completely undisruptable combo tron is able to assemble.

If you can't see that you might be a tron-baby.

>>53047053
Shadow is falling out of grace somewhat, which was a bad MU

>>53047018
Not butthurt, I play Burn so getting paired against Tron is usually just a free win, but again it doesnt feel good because it feels like getting a free win just for sitting down and getting paired against a certain deck, it doesnt feel like a battle like a matchup against Jund, Deaths Shadow, or Affinity can be. Overall id be fine with less free wins if it meant that Modern as a whole was healthier , even if my deck takes a dip in meta share because its "prey" is banned out id be fine with that.

>>53046939
This.
Coupled with the fact that theres barely any decent ld and no playable pw removal outside of dreadbore in modern. And other than crumble to dust or LD+surgical theres no good lines.

>>53047018

>t. Tron

>>53046939
Combo shits on tron if it makes you feel better

>>53047103
No it doesn't. Tron is the best combo deck in the format.

>>53047076
Death's Shadow was super fringe last time I played Storm.

Just looking at some lists online it looks like you get eight copies of Goblin Electromancer now and Gifts is a four-of which seems weird.

Modern is "who did I get matched against tonight: the format."
If you want things like player skill to be a factor then play a better format.

>>53047161
The new baral storm is much more resilient than old ascendancy lists, you get the ability to play a guy and go off at nearly instant speed, without the opportunity for a lot of counter play.

Thanks sheldon! I'm seriously considering just ditching MTG, it's pretty dated at this point.

>>53047168
Theres nothing durdley about playing the best beaters and hand disruption in the format and then losing to a turn 3 Karn because your deck wasnt packing enough Lava Spike effects.

>>53047176
I dont feel this is the case, theres a lot of player skill involved in some of the top matches like Jund, Abzan, Burn, Affinity, Scapeshift , Storm, and Company decks

>>53047206
>Sadly, there is no better format besides commander

Try legacy or even the new standard.

Legacy is super open RN due to the banning, and standard has a playable mono-blue control deck.

Honestly if they ban cards for not being fun to play against they should ban tron. Just being objective. I don't actuality care

Honestly, nobody sits across from tron and thinks, oh boy this is going to be a fun and interesting game of magic in about to play.

>>53047209
Just Thoughtseize the Karn lmao

>>53047290

>>53049041
No tron is overpowered because it's fast mana via land in a format where there is currently no good LD or way to hate it out. Have you even been reading the thread?

And no we don't have 4c goodstuff you mong try again.

>>53049109
>No good Land Destruction
Lemme guess, because siding in ghost quarter or tec edge means you can't bolt/thoughtsieze/path on t1?
Because you want to run 3 colors with a greedy mana base, right?

>>53049178
No you fucking idiot. It's because Ghost Quarter fucking sucks.

>>53049178
>ghost quarter or tec edge
Ghost quarter is barely land destruction, it stops them for a single turn while setting you back by more than a turn in most cases.

Tec edge is never online early enough to matter unless you are also doing other LD or permission.

>>53049046
Chalice is the true enemy that needs to be banned

>>53049178
>tec edge
>when tron comes online with three (3) lands nd it requires 4

Yeah no good LD retard

>>53049491
Nah it's a valuable crutch for all kinds of awful jank decks.

>>53049178
Tec edge is hot garbage and gq is a tempo nightmare.

Redpill me on mill. Does it piss people off as much as everyone says it does?

>>53049634
It's basically burn except you have to kill from ~50ish life and your "burn" spells are more inefficient

>>53049527

>it's a valuable crutch for all kinds of awful jank decks.

What is Blood Moon?

>>53049634
It pisses off people who think they're good and know that mill isn't. There's enough graveyard value decks and emrakul decks that you probably won't get good mileage out of it in modern.

>>53045358
Should living end decks use As Foretold?

>>53049634
It's frustrating to play against, there's a mill player at my LGS who I've played against twice. It's not so much the mill that has beaten me but the crypt incursion for 40 odd life when they are on 1 or 2 life and I haven't drawn into my tormod's to clear my grave yard of creatures

Why do you guy hate a deck that is the 8th best deck in the format? I get that it beats the fuck out of jund and junk which require a lot more money to play so the salt can come from there but seriously we have this discussion so much. Death's Shadow seems to be on the watch list more than tron is right now.

Oh you.

>>53051774
All I see have been meme and people not think about the good tron hate that is out there not to mention that it have plenty of bad match ups. To be cancer it would have to take over the meta not just be a bad match ups for mid range deck. You can cast stoney silence and slow them down enough to beat them or you can cast crumble to dust a well. fulminator mage i a good card you can get with cord of calling for junk combo deck.

>Playing?

Basically everyone at my LGS folds to Blood Moon so I cheese wins with it every week. It's really satisfying to sleeve up decks that only play basic mountains and ritual out a blood moon or chalice.

>Bans/Unbans?
I feel like at some point we're going to lose Mox Opal and/or SSG. I hope it's the opal because I really love to play SSG in my all-in Red builds, but fast mana is bad for the format generally imo.

>>53051961

Zoo variant has threats that stand better on their own and plays a more versatile burn package. Can also power out more dudes and go hella wide.

8Whack is more explosive and a much better meme though. Play 8 whack.

I didn't realize that differing opinion and valid points were memes tron baby.

>good tron hate
None of the cards you listed are good and here's why
>Crumble
Gee land hate that comes down a turn after tron comes online. Sure hope none of yuor lands get exiled.

>stony
Needs to be paired with an aggressive opener or else you'll just be raped late game like usual. Not to mention it does nothing against a tron hand that has natural tron or can assemble it without map.

>f mage
3 mana LD isn't good and we can see that from all the other 3 mana LD spells in modern. Only has some game if the Tron player has a slow hand and you have a recursion engine.

The only "good" hate for tron currently is to play a deck that goes under it and that is one of the main problems with Tron.

>it has bad matchups
The matchups are all polarized bullshit and having a deck like Tron in the metagame helps promote linear and uninteractive strategies. Should those strategies be allowed to exist? Yes they should, but they shouldn't be promoted in such a gross way and have their natural predators are completely and utterly pushed out because of fags who play tron.

I'm not against Tron existing but when the only way to combat it is to go under it with shit like Burn, Infect (rip), and similar linear strategies I don't think that's healthy for the game.

Print good tron hate or ban it because if this thread is evident a lot of people are sick of it. That or unban Twin.

How do you all settle on deck? I've jumped around six or seven archetypes, but can't ever seem to find one I've enjoyed for a long time.

>>53053409
There's a lot of factors that go into it
-Playtest, either online, with proxies or a borrowed/budget version
-Cost (I don't feel like buying Abzan, but I can sure buy Burn)
-Your store's meta (if winning is a big deal)

>this 4 mana card that deals with tron after it comes online is totally good against it I swear
kys my man

Crumble would be playable at 3cmc but 4 is too slow against tron.

>>53053667
there's no good anti-tron cards. Tron is weak to aggressive decks, not any particular card. Attempting to interact with tron is a waste of time, their deck resolves around 0 cost cards, you'll never beat them in tempo or card advantage by going after their lands. Ignore everything they do and attempt to win is the best strategy.

>>53053688
>>53053725

Is there a deck that has a good matchup against both bgx and tron?

>>53057437
Just play Esper. Also 5 Snap effects seems way too much. 3 Snaps is fine but I could see 3 Snaps and a Hulk working too.

>>53057482
Define "good". The reason BGx has been, is and will be a force in the format is because its the so called "50% deck", meaning that it's strength is that it's on even grounds with most of the meta. That being said Burn is somewhat favored against Junk/Jund and recks Tron.

>All this talk about countering Tron

>making tron better
why? So it can get banned?

>>53057482
Ad Nauseam can lose to Tron's best draws but should be favored vs both in the long run. RG Titanshift.

>>53057672
They can't/will never ban Tron
The lands are untouchable. The only thing that could be banned are threats and tutors. There's a handful of possible threats and tutor would only slow it down.

>>53057720
What makes the lands untouchable?

>>53057720
>The lands are untouchable
What makes you say this? Artifact lands weren't safe.

>>53057728
>>53057733
Wizards like the idea of Tron lands
They are less oppressive than artifact lands since you don't get free benefits from them right away.
You have to do a bit of work to get Tron online, using Map, Scrying and Stirrings

>>53057783
All the same can be said of cloudpost. If tron becomes the number one deck it's done.

>>53057807
Cloudpost is one card, not three.
They didn't ban Glimmerpost in the same time, right?
You could make a case that they banned all 5 artifact lands at the same time but it was because banning one would just result in it being replaced and nothing changing
Tron-like decks don't exist, I don't think they'll ban it
>But Storm and Dredge
Storm won on turn one and is still alive
Dredge is still alive

>>53057684
Admittedly I play neither but I have a hard time believing a deck with 8 thoughtseises + Lily (+Collective Brutality in the side and sometimes main) would have a hard time against AN.

>>53057910
ramp decks do exist though
so do combo if you classify tron as that
if you think it's control then baning tron will only make things better in that regard

The format is basically
Tron variants
Shadow variants
Eldrazi
Affinity
Burn

Everything else is jank. It's pretty diverse though...

Lantern control: http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/648/220/67b.jpg

>>53058119
and together they're a bit over 40% of the format. Until the bans legacy was miarcle + delver variants at 40% and standard had 1 deck at 40%.
Deck wise (an argument can be made otherwise for archetypes) modern is the most diverse format.

>>53057950
I don't think Tron fit the control-combo-aggro archetypes, it is kind of its own thing
When I say Tron-like, I'm not talking about its archetype but its gameplan
It's not a traditional ramp deck since it use lands that increase mana under specific conditions instead of a ton of mana-generating things. The only other Tron-like deck I know of is the aforementioned 12post deck

>>53057910
What the fuck are you talking about?

I'm quite sure the only reason tron isn't banned is that it hasn't been top1 in two consecutive major tournament. It's sayonara when it happens.

>Cloudpost is one card, not three.
Artifact lands are 5.
>They didn't ban Glimmerpost in the same time, right?
You only need to ban Urza's tower.
>Tron-like decks don't exist, I don't think they'll ban it
That doesn't mean anything or haven't you seen summer bloom, top, splinter twin or pod ban?

>>53058623
>I'm quite sure the only reason tron isn't banned is that it hasn't been top1 in two consecutive major tournament. It's sayonara when it happens.
I agree with that.

>>Cloudpost is one card, not three.
>Artifact lands are 5.
Read what I wrote after that
>>They didn't ban Glimmerpost in the same time, right?
>You only need to ban Urza's tower.
This is a stupid idea. Banning one is equivalent to banning all three since you can't replace it.
>>Tron-like decks don't exist, I don't think they'll ban it
>That doesn't mean anything or haven't you seen summer bloom, top, splinter twin or pod ban?
I didn't see Summer Bloom and Modern Top
Splinter Twin has no equivalent but it was a bit too oppressive at the time Unban Twin?
They tried to create a new Pod with Eldritch Evolution and Evolutionary Leap but failed
Also, wasn't there a "Podless pod deck" around for a while?

>>53057660
My Tron brews always get shit on. That Second Sun card is interesting, I'll have to test it.
Right now I'm trying to come up with a Tron Prison deck that packs Spirit Guide and Chalice as 4 ofs but I'm not sure what shell to put it in. Maybe a Ghostly Prison Spreading Seas Sundering Titan mana denial one.

>>53058878
>This is a stupid idea. Banning one is equivalent to banning all three since you can't replace it.
same for locus lands, none of the lands that went with cloudpost see any play with it banned.

>>53059187
That's not the same thing
None of those land had "This card doesn't work without cloudpost" written on them

>>53059243
Instead they have "This card is worthless without cloudpost" written on them.

>>53059243
Tron lands work without each other. They provide 1 colorless, come untapped. Glimmerpost makes 1 colorless, gets 1 life when it enters and comes in tapped. Both these are just bad versions of other lands.

>>53059280
You're right for Glimmerpost but I wouldn't call Thespian Stage and Vesuvz "worthless without Cloudpost"
They just have no use in current Modern decks but it could change (it probably won't)

>>53059339
>Tron lands work without each other.
Don't play dumb, you know exactly what I meant.

>>53059370
I do know exactly what you meant. And all the lands that combo with glimmer 'don't work' in exactly the same way

>>53059428
No.
Without Cloudpost, we still have Loci in the game (Glimmerpost).
Without Urza's Tower, we have no more Urza's Tower in the game.

>Read what I wrote after that
I read it the first time, I understood it the first time, but did you read what you wrote yourself? It made no coherent sense.
>This is a stupid idea. Banning one is equivalent to banning all three since you can't replace it.
Exactly. Do I have to mention how banning the engine works out for entire decks?
>Also, wasn't there a "Podless pod deck" around for a while?
I'd like to see how they did in tournaments. At the time of banning, there was nothing but giant middle finger to anyone who had bought into pod.

Also, byt the top I was refering to Wizard's ban policy regarding what happened to miracles.

>>53059576
>It made no coherent sense.
You're right. I was a bit busy with work while writing that post, I couldn't write everything I wanted.

>I'd like to see how they did in tournaments.
Same really. I wasn't following much the meta during these days

>Also, byt the top I was refering to Wizard's ban policy regarding what happened to miracles.
It's going to move the meta around a bit but killed an interesting deck in the meantime.
Well, gotta make sacrifices, right?

>>53059626
I suppose so. I would rather like Wizards being more open and honest about their banlists. If you take a card out, say that it's under a watch and might be rebanned (case Golgari grave-troll, what were they thinking?) Or if there is case like miracles in legacy, Aaron could come out and say honestly that they are considering banning it. Legacy was supposed to be stagnant format (quote needed, can't remember exact wording), but they still go around and shoot the biggest deck in the neck like they have in modern last few years. And by doing that they also killed some other decks in crossfire. I can't help feeling sorry for anyone who pimped their decks.

>>53059722
Banning Top is always a huge hit to the format, whichever it is.
It has a really interesting build-around mechanic, even if it sometimes make a tier 0 deck

>>53046458
I love the automation of xmage, but Cockatrice is just so fluid while xmage is one of the clunkiest softwares I have ever used
If we could get a software which responded as fast as Cockatrice with the same GUI, but was automated like XMage, I'd be all over that

>>53059576
>>53058878
>>>Also, wasn't there a "Podless pod deck" around for a while?
Podless Pod is Melira CoCo (the earlier forms at least when it was just Chord and no CoC but the name persisted for a while after CoCo was printed), it was called that for a while after the pod ban.

It strikes me that both of you know fuck all about the format.

>>53059838
you're asking for contradictory things. mtg is a really clunky game, and any automation software is going to emulate that clunkiness if you want full rules enforcement.

>>53059838
Nigga the clunkiness is BECAUSE of the automation.

I would take clunkiness and sounds spazzing out over retards that don't know how rules work and have to be babysitting for 30 minutes.

>>53059861
I don't follow name changes and I don't remember Melira CoCo doing a lot of waves in the format

Fuccboi, non-selfaware version of Rudy taking on the king of cringe MtG youtubers Prof on his "Modern is too fucking expensive" video.

For once the comments are on point instead of sucking dick.

>>53059862
>>53059886
I'm well aware it's a heavily contradictory system, that's why I'm advocating for an alternative to push the limits of that.
I want nice, quick, clean games, and that's what I usually get on cockatrice.

But yeah, the rules lawyering babies has been annoying, especially as of late since everyone and their mother has started to get into modern apparently

>>53059950
You'd have to practically create an AI to handle all the shortcutting that goes on in a normal game to check if it's legit. Maybe not impossible, but definitely hard.

>>53059950
>since everyone and their mother has started to get into modern apparently
Not surprising.
Before the two Standard bans (Seriously Wizards?) and the Legacy ban, Modern was the best 60 cards format.

>>53059966
Yeah, I definitely see the intense coding hassles

That being said, if an experienced programmer would begin working on a MTG Online level of software without the purchase of singles, I'd probably throw some money at it just to see where it went.

>>53059973
I agree completely, I was building ANT in legacy and now that I see WotC is getting more ban happy, I'm not sure I wanna throw too much money into a trap, so I'll just stick with Modern.

>>53059950

>>53047891
Blood moon isn't even good vs tron. It doesn't do the one thing in the format that it's supposed to do so why is it even legal?

>>53060074
Storm also has to get through their 8-10 hand disruption spells, it's possible, but the storm counting isn't the problem.

>>53059940
What a complete rat's ass. Why are the cards as expensive as they are:
Wizards figured out this is the way to make the most money, not validating them being wrong considering they make millions.

Away, heathen

>>53060169
Also forgot that in Big company's perspective, if they are doing so much money now, why go ahead and change things and take a risk things collapsing? We can just nudge the corners to keep things about the same as they are now. If for some reason money is not going in their pocket, they will change things.

Only in Indonesia or some other 3rd world country.

>>53059940
Hes not 100% wrong but not right either

>>53060026
Dude Legacy is safe from further bannings, WotC doesn't care about the format that much.
Just buy Chinaman LEDs if you're really concerned.

>>53060633
I already had them on the way, not paying $120 a piece for mana rocks

ftfy

>>53057944
That's because you open games 2 and 3 with Leyline and go off before they can rip their 1-of Maelstrom Pulse/Golgari Charm.

>>53062037
That too. It's not exactly hard to find people willing to fuck if you go to the right cons. ALA in Socal basically only exists as an excuse for the shitty weebs to get together and get drunk and high as fuck.

>>53062132

And you can probably find insecure pretty attractive cosplay girls that you probably already have common interests with cause you're at a con

So you probably have a good chance of tapping off the bat and maybe find someone worth continuing to talk to if you're not a total aspie or revolting neckbeard and fuck it up before you get out of the gate

That was video was pretty bad. Collectible card game should be expensive, because it's collective card game.

Wat?

>>53062847
It was literally a jewish Astroboy telling us that if we really liked magic we would just pay him for the cards.

He's a fucking slimeball who makes his living off of pretending something is more valuable than it's worth.

I don't even think everyone should have access to every card. I don't like LCGs for that reason, but $1000 is not a reasonable price for cards.
