new karn and Mycosynth Lattice as well in legacy 12 posts decks, it seems WAR has been a pretty good set for eternal formats.

Oh yeah? Well try untapping your lands 2-4 times during your end step!
they chose to ruin their standard format for a year so that play design could say they did a great job at balancing because they didn't ban anything
it's flawless logic
it's flawless logic
Don't you think you're vastly overreacting? Ruin their standard format for a year? Allegiance is one of the best standards in a very long time and Reclamation played a part in powering a single B-tier deck (Temur Reclamation) and a single C-tier deck (Nexus Reclamation). Perhaps you should wait a month or so for this standard to shake out and let control do its thing in shutting Reclamation decks down into the ground.
Krenko TSK and Feather are ridiculous in Tiny Leaders. Once they're down it only takes like 1-2 turns to finish.

Ravnica: War of the Spark—Old Friends and New
by Greg Weisman
These side stories were announced before, but it was unclear what they were. I can confirm this is a condensed retelling of portions of the WAR novel from Rat's point of view, using the same dialogue.

So me and my gf have been casually playing against each other for 1.5 weeks now and I'm just getting slaughtered by her mono-white deck. So far we have 2 War of the Spark prerelease packs, a Ravnica Allegiance deckbuilder's toolkit and a single 35-card War of the Spark white theme booster. So I guess my gf had a bit more to choose from but still. I've tried to go against her with a blue/green and blue/green/red deck and she keeps destroying me with a bunch of creatures with lifelink and first strike and with some really good instants and spells. We're gonna try to switch up decks to see if the decks really are unbalanced.
with few resources, mono color aggro deck will 90% of the times be better then a three color pile.
This actually seems like a smart way to approach the story. Locking it away behind a hardcover novel kept a lot of people out.
That's not always true. Mono-color aggro almost never works in limited. I'd wager that, unless the prerelease packs contained major white bombs, he could build a pretty good two or even three color deck that would slaughter a mono-white aggro deck.
They blew past the limitations of limited environments when they started adding in other sets and preselected groups of cards (the white theme booster). They're very much in constructed territory now, though in a small pool for it.
I've been using the Steam Link app to play Arena on my phone and it's amazing.

There's gonna be a loooot of amateur cut cards in a few weeks. Break out the kitchen scissors.
Do foil sheets have a specific size? Depending on the size, that seems like a pretty damn good thing to get for free
So the big issue is that uncut sheets are VERY expenisve to frame, but holy shit that's incredible. I will likel;y be buying someones from Ebay and getting it framed- they don't put uncut sheets out that often, and it's a bit of a white whale for me!
If anyone is getting their sheets and is looking to sell, I will be interested.

There isn't really a price for them, as they only get distributed as gifts from Wizards to employees/special causes, and as occasional Prize wall items at GPs. There isn't a great demand for them- the only thing you can do with them is frame them (and unless you are friends with a person who does custom framing, you are looking at multiple hundreds of dollars- it's a weirdly sized large object), or very carefully cutting the sheet and getting the cards, which is going to be really difficult to do in a form that is tournament legal- it's not something you are going to be doing with a pair of scissors.
I'm going to wait till they start showing up on ebay en masse and seeing where the price ends up. I wouldn't be surprised if this ends up being the largest release of an individual uncut sheet ever- there were 10s of thousands of canceled orders i believe
Modern uncut sheets have 11x11 cards on them, so about 27.5x38.5 inches.
2 of each rare and 1 of each mythic to a sheet.
That lawsuit will go nowhere. There are no damages and there's an affirmative defense. And they're not even suing the right defendant. Amateur hour was at Werner Weatherington PC apparently.

Fucking lol at creating a class action lawsuit over this shit. I mean yeah they fucked up pretty badly and turned the sale of the mythic edition into quite the shitshow. But at the end of the day it was well known that it was a highly limited product that there was a very high demand for due to the cards included. And all that happened if you didn't end up getting your Mythic edition(s) is...what? You had to spend a few minutes checking for updates over a few days to see if your order got cancelled? And some money you clearly didn't need that badly anyway weren't getting refunded until around a week after your order cancellation?
Do class action lawsuits happen for other limited products that sell out in minutes? I don't get it. If anything shouldn't it have been against the EBay for the tax hiccup?
They're arguing that a contract was made with Wizards (it was actually made with Hasbro, so Hasbro should be the defendant). If there were damages, and let's be clear, there aren't, Hasbro might be liable for breach as they did commit breach of contract (though there are multiple affirmative defenses to breach that they can and will claim that make that a non-issue). Assuming there somehow were damages and that Hasbro didn't have a defense to its breach, it would still ultimately be eBay's fault and I'd be really surprised if eBay and Hasbro's contract didn't include an indemnification clause which means eBay would need to pay for it. This is a very simple synopsis of it and really there's more hoops to jump through.
I do with my wife and kids. She has a sick Ezuri deck that I use as a barometer of whether my builds are good enough. Feather and Krenko just demolished her even when she had her ideal board state.
I've been busy working but on my off time we're going to start messing around with Oathbreaker. Seems like a fun format and a preferable alternative to having Planeswalker commanders in regular EDH.

Yeah, although I have always wanted a foil sheet and will likely just eat the cost on getting it framed, I just can't imagine that many people will have a use for these. I figure that most of them will end up stuffed in a closet and the rest will get flipped on eBay, devaluing the hell out of them. Honestly, I'd rather they printed a single promo card for those affected purely because it just seems more manageable.
That said, I am gonna enjoy the hell out of my foil sheet.
I like the sheets a lot, especially one that is half full of planeswalkers. But framing is gonna be a real deal breaker. You're looking at $200 minimum if you cheap out on the acrylic front and border mat.
woops i just ordered $50 of cards to finish off a deck and upgrade two decks and now i'm already netdecking mowu

Statement Regarding Yuuya Watanabe
OP
OP
What if he really is innocent? That would suck to not be given a proper chance to prove his case. Of course, I'd sue the hell out of them over that MPL contract so maybe he will get his day in court.
The pictures that his own damn shop posted were blatant as fuck. I can't believe there's any chance he's innocent.
I think the only defense is that someone else marked the sleeves and framed him. I'm not sure how they would've gotten physical custody of his deck, but it'd be quite the sinister plan, since he really can't defend himself in the unlikely case he is innocent.
Someone would need to be alone with the deck, and mark all the cards quickly thereafter. It sounds like a movie plot if you think about it.
Judges confirmed on Reddit that, if they wanted to, it would be extremely easy to mark someone's cards intentionally. While two judges check the deck, only one actually goes and picks it up and there are many opportunities to step aside and do the deed. Now a judge obviously wouldn't do that for no reason, but this is a high-level competition with a lot of money on the line. It's possible another team bribed a judge to mark the cards.
I'm not saying I believe he's innocent, to be clear. I've got no idea. We probably will never have any idea. But it isn't completely outrageous.
