will they finish this cycle

One of God's mightiest creations was the idea that generated this set of functioning cards

Playing against the dominant deck in standard means getting slow punched by a grandma from a Nickelodeon cartoon while your opponent draws twenty cards and if this were a hypothetical someone made up for why they didn't like Universes Beyond I'd tell them to tone it down a little bit

I don't want to hear one peep about the mole until we get ancestral recall out of standard again

People will always be like “lmao they actually blocked me” yeah man I pressed two buttons to get rid of a weird guy and I’ll do it again

What's his deal I wonder

I've pulled beauty from the jaws of creation and yet still you all forget my power

I do not think it’s smart for the long term to imply that being Pro UB is progressive and anti UB is exclusionary. Massive oversimplification of a complex issue and one that paves the way for people mistaking consumerism for political engagement

Designed my own Jaws because why not? "Shark smells blood" was a fine take but I wanted something that felt more evocative of the movie. Both an homage to the slow burn of the Jaws theme and a mechanical homage to the fact that everybody would've been fine if they just stayed out of the damn water

It's simple, just kill Alchemy, move its budget into digital universes within sets for each UB, eventually print a masters set of the big hits, effectively silence most of the loudest UB critics

The way my feelings on UB would change if we had more of these sets

Product fatigue stuff doesn't really phase me and the scalping stuff doesn't effect me too much but I am genuinely sad at what's been done to Standard in all this

Kept EDH data for a year! Game count was 123, win count was 37! If I were doing this again, I'd track less info about opponents (largely useless) and more about turn count and stuff. Unfortunately I will not be doing this again as it feels like homework!!

Did this last year…how does it hold up?
