Okay so Tablet of Discovery is one of the strongest cards I've ever gotten to play control with. So what if we made a control deck with it and made the deck good?
Exploring this revolutionary idea tonight.

The nature of Magic sets’ unified art direction creates some real odd dissonance in groups like Prismari.
The faction of people who wear vivid clashing colors to stand out somehow all blend together because their dress code leaves them indistinguishable from one another?

Y’know, it’s interesting how rarely (never) we hear in regards to problematic metagames: “we expected the player base to do a better job finding decks that beat the top decks, because we found them in internal testing”. Wonder how often it happens but goes unsaid.
How come a date at a restaurant is normal, and a date at the mall is classic if a bit boomer, but when I suggest a date at costco *I'm* the weird one?

Alarm clocks need to come with a sock warmer function that kicks in ten minutes before they go off.

Excited to be playing the PT this weekend. After much soul searching I think I’ve corrected my mistakes from Worlds and I’m happy to announce I will be playing double the amount of cursed recordings.
It’s interesting to me how a lot of people read this post as being about card balance, rather than card design.
I think the difference between those two topics is pretty important to distinguish, because they’re almost non-overlapping. But I’m not sure how best to do it.
So, starting town’s got a pretty weird design element in making you track the first three turns of the game we’ve played with for a while now.
Is it fair to call this a design failure compared to fastlands? Seems like added likelihood for GRV errors with no added gameplay value.
Ooo, been a while since I qualified for one of these Arena Championship thingies. Glad I decided to hop in the qualifier last Friday after hearing cutter was popular in Pioneer (to live my high noon life).
Happy with my build, only dropped 1 match over the weekend.
How old does it make you if window shopping at Costco sounds more fun than window shopping at the mall?

The replies here are a good show of why RCQ level events are viewed as angle shooter territory, and PTs / Pro REL events/players get stereotyped as “relaxed”.
Policy on takebacks with no info gained is lenient. Magic is better when players are playing the game and not the rules.
