Going to need some mass reprints to counteract the effects of increasing scarcity, the symptom of rising legacy staple prices could be fatal to the format!

DangerDongs posted:It's because it isn't nearly as good as Uro, especially when you consider Graveyard Shell Uro + Emrakul. I know a guy who played a variant of the meme Rhinos + Clone Spells decks. It's... surprisingly effective if it ever gets to untap with a Rhino, because suddenly having a hand full of Rhinos is still a very easy way to win a game of Magic if your opponent ever has to interact with a board state involving exponentially more Rhinos as your life total just rebounds. It's main problem is though that most of the good decks in the format run 4 Thoughtsieze, and more then a few also run some number of Thought Erasure on top of that, and the deck is naturally terribly weak to hand disruption, especially in a format where they can't just tap out turn 4 and drop Rhinos because of stuff like Inverter and Heliod. They've moved on to playing a meme Seven Dwarves + Clones deck instead.

To be clear: assault of any kind is unacceptable and worse than selling someone drugs, I just wanted to hear what not me ppl think about this

I don’t know where just the act of selling them would be, but I think killing off a witness is around a 9-10.

LMAO Pat Chapin was literally moneying pro-tours after serving time for selling coke Tim Allen style and a ton, an absolute TON of Upstate NY grinders paid for all their plane tickets etc by selling weed. Selling drugs isn’t a crime literally anyone should be punished for, it’s just one of the easiest ways to make money. I would put it at a 1-2 on the morality scale.

Selling an elicit recreational drug you have no reason to think is adulterated in a way to be explicitly dangerous to another adult defaults to a 1 and goes up to maybe a 3-4 if the supply chain has actual real crimes upstream from your acquisition of the weight you're moving. (only a 3 because those crimes would be mitigated by decriminalization and thus the weight of the moral burden falls on the state.) For reference angle shooting in Magic like refusing to move your yarded cards to exile because your opponent didn't specifically announce the RIP trigger is like a 4.5.

You guys are generous, I was going to give drug-pushing a neutral 5 and reserve the lower range for morally positive actions like donating to charity and hugging your grandma.

Hugging your grandma can spread infectious disease to an Old who are prone to them. Selling drugs is just selling a few moments of pure bliss and escape from the alienating cruelty of Hellworld.

This made me go back to look at the go to combat thing with thien nguyen and cesar segovia, holy poo poo that's a bad ruling. Happy to see that got changed because it seems like a stupid shortcut

Wizards just announced a Pioneer Masters product for Arena coming later this year, but didn't mention any potential paper release of said set, and I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around announcing it in this way- https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/magic-digital/mtg-arena-state-game-march-2020-03-05 Like you have to be bringing your Pioneer reprint set to the platforms where people can currently play Pioneer...right?

I think they have an algorithm that assembles a product name once a month, automatically generates a press release, and then the team is forced to create that product.

you're looking at it backwards - they can't do pioneer on arena until they start introducing the cards for it and they have to start somewhere there isn't an accompanying paper announcement because there isn't a paper product, it's purely for arena

I mean... you kind of have to assume that a proto pioneer format would be announced along side it, or more likely they are literally just going to drop blobs of Pioneer into Historic until it is literally Pioneer and then discontinue Historic.

to clarify since some of y'all seem to mainly follow arena only for what it means for paper, the devs have concluded that releasing old sets all at once would kind of suck in a few ways -- most importantly, there's no real good way to add in collecting newly introduced sets that wouldn't be rear end for people who can't spend the money to just buy several dozen packs or dump a bunch of wildcards on stuff that isn't standard-legal. there's also just not a great way to shove in rereleasing entire sets that wouldn't overshadow new releases (do you think the playerbase would rather get kaladesh boosters over ikoria?) with that in mind, what they've moved towards is releasing curated, smaller sets of a chunk of 'important' cards & the tease of 'pioneer masters' is almost definitely one of those given its offhand mention in the same paragraph as the historic anthologies and their remaster of amonkhet. there's no chance of it being an accidental announcement of a new paper reprint set in that context, and since neither of the historic anthologies got a paper version it's unlikely that will. edit: I spent a while typing this so I missed a few posts, but they've already announced that pioneer is coming to arena eventually. it'll probably live alongside historic, too, since their historic anthologies already include cards not legal in pioneer iirc
