It blows my mind. We're still selling so much paper magic but I'm like where are you people even playing lol

 

Its so weird with there not being events. People are strictly relying on what is trending on Arena. It'll be weird to see if the meta continues to line up between both formats. I wonder if we are even out of this by rotation time.

 

Yeah there is no way I’m playing with people I don’t know anytime soon. My friends and I grabbed webcams and we have Zoom EDH games a few times a month. It actually works out pretty well!

 

Bans were a little underwhelming. I'm curious to know how Uro, which is in 49% of decks in standard doesn't see any type of restriction. It's going to be an awfully long cycle with Ugin around for a year. At least some of the other ramp is falling out.

 

Looks like they couldn't care less about pioneer as a format tbh

 

Holy shit the reprints in 2XM

 

100% forgot about that set even though I have to do mandatory overtime for its release lol

 

hit diamond with mono white life gain

 

Oh, okay.

Announcement Date: August 3, 2020

Standard
Wilderness Reclamation is banned.
Growth Spiral is banned.
Teferi, Time Raveler is banned.
Cauldron Familiar is banned.

August 3, 2020 Banned and Restricted Announcement

 

Meanwhile, Nissa is like...

 

Teferi being banned just now is pretty amusing.

Also WotC has a habit of banning the few expensive cards I actually own. I have Oko, Ballista, and a bunch of other things. I also bought Gitaxian just right before it got banned.

Y’all should be worried about Colossal Dredmaw because I have a lot of those.

 

so fucking dumb. Why wait this long?

Really happy Wilderness is out.

 

Hahaha they just keep nuking the best decks

Meanwhile Nissa and Uro and the jellyfish hydra just be chilling

 

So Teferi wasn’t a problem like six months ago but it is now? Okay.

Also they said this was to expand the meta. Doesn’t this just perpetuate mono red being played?

 

Yeah, the ban wagon pretty much laid it out that way too.

 

And awaaaaaaayyyyy we go

 

Glad I won't be working at CK for that release, I'm so over new sets lol

 

the shenanigans cloning the mirror image are going to be ridiculous.

 

boros embercleave here we go

 

jace is interesting. it can be a 5cmc draw 2, or a 5cmc draw 1, scry 1 every turn, etc. or a scry 1 every turn for 3cmc

i wonder if there’s an archetype where that works. also just realized it’s a free land draw that is strong af

 

Art for Jace looks wicked, serious Tibalt vibes

 

I've had some great pulls from 2XM but I've sold most of them off except this one, so I'm posting it here for no reason.

Also have a bunch of solid foil commons and uncommons like Urza lands and whatnot. I'm trying to sell as much stuff at I can before I move but whatever I don't I might just give away, so stay posted if you're interested

 

New stuff looks great so far. So much D&D love going into it.

 

I was gonna say, we D&D up in here now.

Lotus Cobra is back and there's a new Hedron Crab. Fun stuff.

 

I have a fun ally deck that is pretty much hedron crab and cloning this bad boy. That standard was so fun.
