Yes, that is how you play magic: When your opponent forgets to put a +1/+1 counter on theis creature you remind them. A win is only worth something if it's fair.

First game is a master class in midrange and how to force chump blocks from an aggro list. Hao is forced to throw away cards when I would have sat back and lost this game easily as the BG Midrange player.

heard a reference to this match ((I believe) on goldfish podcast where they were talking about how well duke played abzan vs humans so i had to check it out! Little while back Duke published a league video with abzan and it looked like the deck is highly skill intensive so its sweet to see this deck do so well in post- fatal push meta.

This once again proves how disastrously broken Tarmogoyf, Liliana of the Veil, Dark Confidant are in Modern, and their insane price tags show it.

Midnite Reveries I think modern is healthy, busted cards are fine when there is such a variety of ways to play them. This pro tour proved the health of the format
@adamnelson2706 жыл бұрын
Tarmogoyf is one of the most fair cards in modern, and Liliana of the Veil and Dark Confidant are very good but not broken. Their insane price tag has more to do with limited supply than with brokenness.
@MrGd20106 жыл бұрын
Adam Nelson I agree, what I’m saying is the format is full of really powerful cards, so much so that tarmogoyf is contextually a fair card

Duke's deck is basically nothing but gas. Thats the power of GBx decks - they will topdeck better than you 100% of the time, unless you're on Tron. It was pretty inevitable that Duke would find live cards sooner or later. Did he get lucky with the draws? Sure. Did he also play pretty much perfect lines? Yes.

WOTC needs to unban a lot more than just frickin bloodbraid elf... there are plenty of "safe" cards to unban. Like stoneforge mystic, birthing pod and a bunch more. The community says that modern is in a very diverse and healthy state but all I am seeing is more of the same OLDER crap with a dash of new... If WOTC doesn't change soon then Hasbro will sell out and there will be millions of players left heartbroken.
