long-rear end nips Diane posted:It was also posted in German, pretty sure it's legit. uhhh have you seen the current Standard 2020 event? Not a single one of the Eldraine preview cards makes the format anything but terrible. At least half the "special" event formats re also terrible. I had zero faith in their ability to pick cards that make formats anything but terrible

In theory I like Goose more than Llanowar Elves in most situations, because early game you can use it like a BoP for a turn, which starts getting your board established. That's generally what you want LE for anyhow, and unlike LE, it's not a dead draw later in the game

I hate this standard because between Field and Cavalcade decks, there is absolutely no room for bullshit gimmick decks, and Eldraine is full of potential for said bullshit gimmick decks

No Wave posted:before we go overboard keep in mind this deck was balanced last set. Aggro being especially weak is more the culprit than field is (though aggro being weak is absolutely something they knew was coming) Cards that existed last standard that rotated out: Alpine Moon Field of Ruin Blood Sun Saying "The card was balanced last set" is meaningless when every good answer to it rotated Also LOL at "Aggro being weak" Cavalcade is insanely fast
