Damn, sucks for everyone in R&D. They have to go into work Monday knowing they can spend their whole career making cards and their best design will probably be less awesome than this YuGiOh joke reference card.

- Excited for Pioneer with all our favorite cards: Elk, the Promised End Elk, Vryn's Prodigy Pack Elk Siege Elk Smuggler's Elk Aetherwork Elk Thassa, Elk of the Sea; Elk of Kruphix Reflector Elk Elk, the Fervent Elk Chainwhirler Thoughtseize
- FWIW, the actual worst decision is 6 sets a year and we are going to immediately see the tension of trying to stabilize Standard with a 5 year core set with the format having a 6 week life cycle. Why buy into a deck when a new set preview starts tomorrow?
- Extremely out of Goblin flavor for Krenko to make players secretly learn about the stack.
- > wotc places new set on Ravnica > says its not a Ravnica set > pulls out explainer of what the set is > "huh thats a cool idea to flesh out a plane" > lightning helix and shock lands
- The color wheel of terrible tournament opinions: W - IDs are theft U - Sideboard guides are for people who can't learn the material B - Calling judges is angle shooting R - Netdeckers suck G - Damage on the stack was better
- WotC honestly needs to take an L, announce a B&R revision in 7 days, and just bounce Grief and Nadu from their respective formats. Not even sure why anyone would play a match of Constructed until September unless they are forcing themselves to Pioneer RCQ
- Your PSA to literally never pass this card in OTJ draft and that it is somehow not a Mythic.
- Not emergency banning Nadu was a mistake. I could see how WotC arrived here, but the overwhelming player experience at these broken events is atrocious. It's not just the Nadu games. The the whole format is warped in ways that degrade player's desire to play post-Nadu
- Triome Secret Lair, but they are all just renamed Jund / Abzan Triome so everyone can forget the real names.
- Magic Players: Noooo you can't concede to people in events that's unfaiiir play the game. Intentional draws are theft! Also Magic players: You are legally obligated to accept your FNM finals opponent's request to prize split because it's getting slightly late.
- I see we have reached the "Magic's land system is outdated garbage, modern designs do it better" discourse. Anyways, RIP to Magic because lands suck, long live all the dead games that tried to "do resources better".
