It's perfectly fine for [medieval Europe] to be populated with dark-skinned people, but no one questions why [ancient Egypt] or [medieval Japan] are devoid of Caucasian natives.
speaking of double standards - I've edited your "argument," applying the filter of your own wish that Wizards' fantasy worlds should stick to their source material/inspiration more. hope this helps.
who am I kidding, you're beyond help. -

That's all that people like you ever do, which is why you'll never understand the arguments against which you speak.
Can you boil that argument down a little because all I'm seeing is "wow one thing is bad, and another thing is good! How strange" repeated over and over. -

Xeruh posted a message on [ELD] Mothership spoilers 9/16— Queen Linden and her retinueIt’s not political to have female knights. It’s not political to be a PoC who is a ruler. Both of those have existed in our world, let alone a fictional world.Posted in: The Rumor Mill -

and there are no "people of color" in grimms. i hate that in your face sjw bull*****. maybe rewrite european history completely to be pc? maybe then nobody will notice how liberal society actually became.
but leave politics out of the fcking game. it completely destroys my immersion.
Wrong. This isn’t Arabian Nights. This IS WotCs world. Inspired by fairy tales and Arthurian myth. It’s not sjw ***** it’s just the story they wanted to tell with the characters they wanted to use. This isn’t medieval Europe. It’s Eldrain. -

Dusk707 posted a message on Core 2020 Name and Number CrunchBuy-a-Box does not count as a mythic for the set (it is denoted by the +1 next to the mythic count in the OP). Also, the BaB promo is a Shard Legend, not a wedge legend.Posted in: The Rumor Mill -

k0no posted a message on The State of Modern Thread (B&R 20/05/2019)Haha.Posted in: Modern Archives
I just want to state, before the site gets archived forever, that the nonsense mental gymnastics people are doing, in order to get riled up and call for bans for a card that isn't even released yet are staggering.
I hate it. I hate the knee-jerk "everything's a problem" mentality every time a new set comes out, or a deck happens to do well at a tournament. I hate the inscrutable need some people have to just complain and call for bans at every turn, completely ignoring the twenty, thirty times when they did exactly the same thing but everything was fine after the format adjusted.
It's completely exhausting being surrounded (in a community sense) by players who instead of appreciating new things or incorporating new variables into the landscape have to see every new thing as a terrible, insurmountable threat.
It's baffling and frustrating that players of a format like modern will spend their mental energy creating a philosophy which argues against the natural churn of the format and retreat into stagnant ban-talk, complaining that things aren't staying the same instead of innovating and altering their approach.
If there's one thread I'll be glad to see disappear from the face of the planet, it'll be this one. For most of the last half-decade it's been the more or less the same small-ish crew of complainers, endlessly riling each other up in an echo chamber of perceived problems and issues that only exist if you lack imagination.
End of an era. We'll miss the primers and the genuine discussion about how to improve and innovate on the constant shifting metagame. We'll miss the people who put in effort and time to help others understand this complex game. Those generous people who lent their knowledge and expertise will be remembered. Nobody will miss the fragmented ban-driven panic and negativity. Its a complete waste of everyone's time and when this site bites the dust next month, I'll feel content to say goodbye to this thread forever. Good riddance.
Here's to a more positive discourse and the faint hope that the new website in the works curates spaces that engender positive, useful discussion instead of a blank slate for useless uninformed negativity to rule.
And with that, I'm out. If you've spent the last five years being angry at modern for a different reason every couple of weeks, ask yourself what you were really angry at, because it sure wasn't modern.
It's been a ride. I wish you all the best. -

DaveJacinto posted a message on The State of Modern Thread (B&R 20/05/2019)I was discussing this event with a couple of friends and for some reason I ended up defending the deck. I surely believe it's way too early for a ban but it's a deck that is doing really obnoxious things. It attacks through multiple angles and it's required a considerate amount of hate/interaction to win.Posted in: Modern Archives
Regardless, the discussion was that the deck that was in number one on the Challenge was a UW Control with 4 snapcasters and 2 surgicals mainboard. One of my friends reply to that was that if we are mainboarding hate it means that the format is busted. That made me wonder...
Is the format broken? If we look at legacy... Force of Will is the safety valve of the format, a free spell that interacts with the degenerate stuff that happen in the format. In legacy the stack is where the degenerate decks win from... In modern our stack is the graveyard. Can't we accept that maybe we should just be playing Surgicals main?
If we really think about it Surgical is 100% analogue to Force of Will in legacy. It's card disadvantage, free, instant speed, costs life, deals with the degenerate stuff that happen in the format while being somewhat mediocre to bad in the fair match ups. It's also a card that we sideboard out in a lot of matches.
Probably I'll get some bash over this but it's a different point of view. To be honest it eases my mind looking at things this way. My only grief is that surgicals are super expensive (same as force of will) and playing 4 is a big hit in the budget. - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

That is probably because only that creature from Loryn, Boldwyr Intimidator makes things cowards but it is a creature class I believe. https://mtg.gamepedia.com/Coward

To be fair most decks always have creatires, planeswalkers, especially in abundance, are more scarce of a card to be on the field, and in garruk's wake cost the same as Plague Wind and it also destroys all planeswalkers you don't control. This card is good and I love it but I don't think it is absurd. I could be proven wrong though depending on how standard shakes out.
