theyve done great banning lots more of the issues/floodgates as of late! really hope they continue to get rid of more & more (sanc included).

in the meantime theres typically lots of great gameplay in ur average Dracotail/yummy mitsu matchup. also gem Knight is a sick blind second otk deck rn too!

oh let's goooo!!!!

LOVE me some psycho goreman!!!!

okay I'm kinda seeing why you married this guy (this is so good lmaoo)

I actually said the same thing (wrt it not being anywhere near the Cornetto trilogy) to my friend on the way home lol

I thought it was fun! my expectations were tempered a bit cause I saw it was getting (sorta surprisingly?) kinda fairly negative reviews, but I totally agree that I like it better than baby driver and Scott Pilgrim. I also totally agree that, esp wrt the writing, its nowhere near the Cornettos

ahh okay sorta think I get what you're putting down. like I said I def think folks should get used to more nuanced convos around formats and the way we talk about em, so I feel that!

TRUEEE

hopefully Im making sense here lol

cause like I totally agree the question of "handtrap or breaker?" is kind of not super useful, & skirts tons of nuance about relevant interactions in a format. but idk, its hard for me to say "ur question is always invalid" cause folks can ask this stuff from v differing areas of knowledge I guess

totally in good faith here ofc, but why? like, idk, if someone lacks the game knowledge or whatever to know there's tons more nuance beyond "breaker vs handtrap format", why isn't it valid to use a colloquialism to get a grasp on a general trend? that's what I'm sorta confused about

esp because I know for lots of folks, optimizing and making their strategy (whether meta or rogue or absurdly casual) successful *is* how they have a good time with the game

I get things can get toxic, for sure, but that goes for very casual play too yk?

i mean...idk, i feel like these are just colloquialisms that players use to be able to identify with each other the general tides of a format. is there a problem with people using these? I guess I'm sorta confused by the point you're making here

omfg holy time capsule

oh shit, that's crazy haha. such a stark difference to now, wild how different it looks. but you should be proud that you can pul both off!
