A Yarok Brawl deck is very fun and leads to hilarious board states I recommend everyone try it. Also that State of Arena update is very, very good to hear. Glad they understand they need to work towards Pioneer, although I won't rest until we get A/B/U flashback drafts or other silliness that lets me play with the Power 9.

They should make the power 9 cost 5 mythic WCs each.

Btw if you like Golagri make sure you run a copy of find/finality . I had the pleasure of nuking 5 indestructible Nissa lands when I put it on a Rankle. Opponent didn't know and placed a veil , was great!

MRLOLAST posted:Man that is a poo poo way of deciding who wins a match that went on forever. It helps that in paper if your opponent is deliberately wasting time you can call a judge over who can just issue a match loss if they don't knock it the gently caress off. Also it only decides the game so unless it's game 3 or somehow still game 1 then you still have a match winner. It's the fairest way to do it without chess clocks (which would be a nightmare in paper because priority changes a gently caress of a lot)

No Wave posted:? you mean if the opponent times out the game should be a draw? Its a lovely problem used to solve the "my opponent is playing slowly on purpose problem" that has horrible repercussions on actually competitive games that go so long one person times out. In situations like that it is absolutely lovely to lose for time.

Bust Rodd posted:Run removal spells in your deck, then cast it again after you’ve killed it. I mean yeah the correct answer if it's a creature commander is to cook it with Witch's Oven if you can manage to draw a one-off. It still just seems screwy and against the spirit of the format that you can Frogify a commander or whatever and not have to deal with them for the rest of the game. Is that how it works in EDH too?

No, because in EDH everyone runs answers and wrath effects and spot removal so people hardly ever run into that problem. The worst thing that happens is getting your Commander stolen but you just bounce it or kill it and replay them.

Ashiok is such a hillarious commander, people keep playing fetch lands and Golos without remembering about his passive.

(Data shows that players don't often stick around for games two and three in a no-consequences queue like Play. This leads to fewer players in the queues, and worse matches all around. For serious Historic play, the ranked queue and evergreen event will offer Best-of-Three, but casual digital play works better in Best-of-One.) While playing Historic in the play queue does not reward daily win progression, all other game modes discussed above will. Wow, it seems like ranked historic will now count towards our daily wins. That's not what they said beforehand, right?

I had fun last night running the Sultai Cat Food deck from Richmond. Combine the best of both worlds: turn 2 Oko and Cat Oven  In Brawl I was playing the Nicol Bolas deck that mengu was playing and its pretty cool, list below. When I get home I can post an importable version, if brawl is still available - I think I barely have time to play it due to my timezone. https://twitter.com/Mengu09/status/1194591495434723330?s=20

Fun Brawl Facts: Don't make an Ugin deck. You're not allowed to include more than one nonbasic land which produces colored mana. I feel like in EDH, incorrectly-colored mana would just turn colorless. But perhaps that changed long ago. Regardless, you'll get no Gates synergy with Ugin.

Funkdreamer posted:Same, I wonder if people are misconstruing the hangup-on-concede glitch (which I think is still happening) That could be happening. I get my fair share of emote spammer ropers but I also get a bunch of straight time out concedes that could just be them disconnecting and forgetting to concede, or there being some sort of glitch where they concede on their end but I don't get it on mine. All I know is it happens a lot. At least twice a day if not more if I'm playing a lot.

How long do you think it'll take for Pioneer to be released? My guess is December 2020, maybe up to April 2021. I hope with the addition of this, we'll get options of having Ranked Draft for older formats. Have one that's standard and one that's Pioneer that way it can make Limited be more diverse but still give players progression in the season.

I mean they could add all the cards by the end of the year if they wanted. The real question is "Which method makes them the most money without abusing the playerbase?" and that certainly isn't jamming all those cards in that fast.

While we all know that Wizards is not our friend (especially if you're bi or gay!) it is more or less impossible for them to get Pioneer into Arena by the end of the year unless they massively increase their team size. Adding that many cards all at once into their game that is already making GBS threads itself thanks to Unity would be an undertaking to say the least.

Stuff like Theros block sort of solidifies into a single coherent mega-set, but I can't wait to see the ones they make for RTR/GTC/DGM or Khans block. I hope they let us draft those messes.
