I only hate playing against Burn/RDW because of the normal attitude of the owners of the deck. It almost never fails that they have to make a big deal about how little money they spent on the deck and pretend like it makes them better or something.
With Extended/Superextended essentially becoming Modern, there was no longer a fear of rotation, which makes staple buying slightly easier(except for Modern banlist shenanigans). But a lot of cards transfer from Modern to Legacy, which is why a lot of Legacy players call Modern a poor man's Legacy(though they're getting close to the same price). G/W Hatebears becomes Death and Taxes, Pyromancer's Ascension becomes TES/ANT/SI whichever storm variant suits your playstyle, Jund becomes better Jund, etc, etc, etc. But since so many of the cards crossover, the prices spiked, Bob, Goyf, Liliana and Clique are the main offenders of this.
In fairness Legacy prices didn't start spiking until Modern became a thing. Not 3-4 years ago, I got a playset of Underground Seas for $300 and various other Legacy Staples that have now tripled in price since Modern.
Not sure if this is warranted or if I'll post twice and let it die, but figured with the World Cup bringing people here, maybe we can get some more action as well.
Arsenal have signed right back Matthew Debuchy and centre mid Alexis Sanchez, I kind of wish that Debuchy was Serge Aurier coming in, but I also understand why it's not(PL experience vs no PL Experience) Surprised to see Arsenal this active this early
Everton have signed Gareth Barry to a three year deal
Ashley Cole has gone to Roma, with young US starlet DeAndre Yedlin apparently not far behind
Luke Shaw went to United for a huge sum of $30m from Soton, Soton getting the English Dortmund treatment this year it seems. Ander Herrera also headed to Old Trafford.
Siem De Jong is headed to the Toon, to hopefully fare a bit better than Luuk.
FNM is the best place to go, especially when starting out, if only because I'd say 95% of people there are there because they love to play the game of Magic. I was watching the SCG replay of Worcester and Cedric and Patrick made a very good point in the fact that even though I was losing hardcore at the time, I was having the time of my life, even today, when I lose turn 1 to Storm in legacy, I still enjoy the game.
I will be rooting for Germany if only because Argentina has been boring me to tears, which, with Cavani, Messi and Aguero I find hard to believe. Sad to see Holland go out like that though.
But I'm attentive of it's location at all times either way.
Also, yeah, I'd say the NFL epitomizes America fairly well.
