In BO1 you generally won't take sideboard cards anyway so showing it doesn't really add much to the discussion.

Ever since his episode of the Game Knights I just hate his play style, his attitude, his waggly eyebrows, literally everything about him. I’d rather Nassif takes the whole thing but if Ken N. and his Mardu Regi-Sword deck win I’d be happy about that. That’s the thing about being an online personality... some people just hate your personality.

You're welcome to your opinion but I just don't get it. He's one of my favorite Magic players precisely because he's always seemed like a super nice guy. Dry sense of humour, but never gets disrespectful or too salty.

Hoogland’s meltdown wasn’t over the MPL, it was not being invited to the Mythic Invitational. An event he had already declared to be not interested in on account of it being BO1.

Hoogland seems less like a hateful misogynist and more like a guy whose brain occasionally goes white hot and he forgets his words mean things.

It’s hard to reconcile misogyny with how he arrogantly proclaims his wokeness on stream whenever possible. I guess he could be faking it but I don’t get the impression that he’s capable of faking anything very well.

I think it might have to do with flaky network connections, the client seems to be really bad once you desync somehow and barely ever recovers gracefully.

They did mention in the last State of the Whatever blog post that they had identified some issues that were causing the disconnects and crashes, and were supposed to be on the way to fixing them in Thursday's update. I would't get your hopes up though. They will probably introduce new issues instead.

Speaking of Pioneer, I'm seeing a lot of people online, popular MTG content creators too not just randos on r/whineaboutarena, advocate for adding Pioneer to Arena. How do they think that would work exactly

I don't think anyone expects them to be able to implement it right away but if this isn't their long term plan then they are dumb as poo poo.

You misread his post, they were winning.

The answer is, they noticed they were playing doltos and decided to rope because you can't not rope when you play doltos.

Misplays encountered today:

My plat opponent redcap melee'd my 5/5, then later played glass casket with no valid targets.

Then my diamond opponent didn't realize they could get rid of trapped in the tower with faerie guidemother and lost a match they would have won easily. How do you get to diamond without knowing this interaction?
