Rhystic and Remora are so miserable for length of game, play pattern, and color balance in cEDH. They’re getting Brainstorm in Legacy “pillar” treatment. “People strongly associate the DMV with long lines, so we aren’t taking this clear step to shorten lines” type justification.
Lutri unbanned (cannot be Companion).
Biorhythm unbanned.

I think it’s brought everyone up more than it’s held any demographic back. I understand that’s a possible outcome for a “cheat sheet” formatted tool, I just don’t think it plays out that way much.

Through years of teaming and traveling together I’m not sure I ever saw Kai refuse a favor or fail to get along with someone. It probably sounds like I’m doing some mythologizing or something but he was that kind, that generous, that fun, that universally loved. I’ll miss him so much.

He sat and did tiebreaker math with me when I was locked for 9th place at MC London and then smiled wide at me and offered a congratulatory handshake when we learned I snuck into top 8 because of a DQ.

Magic is a really fun hobby when you’re with people who make it fun. Despite having earned the right to be an aloof “genius” if he had wanted to be, Kai was the warmest, most welcoming person. He loved to laugh, and I loved to make him laugh.

Although Kai Budde was initially a hero of mine during his great run of PT wins, he then became a friend and teammate for many years. He is one of the best to ever pick up a card, but I’m so blessed that the first thing I think of when I hear his name is his smile.

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step.

2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

They’re gonna realize the spoilers for the next set at the current set’s prerelease was an advertising bridge/accelerator and make it a thing. (I hate it here)

Transparently, I started typing an example earlier to show my work but it supports your take better than mine. If players XYZ are in a race where each of them can solve part of the map, but none can find finish line alone, even if X always run fastest and "wins" once they share info, is X "best"?
