@PiemontiAndrea Before I knew you I’d have said you’re a 2 - but now that I know you, I’d say you’re a 12.

@Mengu09 @Boggememes I think part of the problem is the cost of standard decks. If you’re mainly a Modern player and not already invested in Standard, buying one of the top decks would require a significant investment - and a lot of the cards are unlikely to be playable in other formats.
English
@Boggememes I think this standard is great with lots of variety and very fun gameplay, but magic players in my aerea - and it seems like a trend outside of USA - just prefer other paper formats to Standard and these promos arent high enough incentives for them to be interested.
English
Please Wotc allow stores to run these events in formats that aren't exclusively Standard. I want to be able to compete in events locally with some nice prize support from Wotc, nobody plays Standard in my aerea, these events aren't firing.

Just out here hearding cats should have 6 but fumbled a game 3 vs spellamentals. Sultai Reanimate is still good.

@EternalManiaBE The info for the team trios event says the Old School seat is ‘Swedisch rules’ - what does that mean, and how does it interact with the proxy policy?
English
One month to go before Eternal Mania kicks off! We couldn't be more excited.
Keep in mind that presales will end on July 31st. So be sure to register for your events on time!

@oldemodave @mtgGoatHam Well played @mtgGoatHam - I would have preferred that things went the same way they did when we played in the Swiss, but you deserved to win.
English
Had to stop stream at top 8 slight tech difficulties meaning we come back another day for bigger and better! However @mtgGoatHam wins his invite with boros energy I'm sure he will do the winner post soon

@PiemontiAndrea @Nick_Csgrv @callumsmithmtg @MattBrown_TCG There’s also this Doomsday deck which loops two Doomsday with Future Sight in play to drain the opponent out 1 point at a time with Ebony Charm.
English
@PiemontiAndrea @Nick_Csgrv @callumsmithmtg @MattBrown_TCG There also a deck that mashes Doomsday and Stiflenought (and Hermit Druid) together since Dreadnought is a big guy you can exile to your Sutured Ghoul and Vision Charm can also work as part of your Doomsday pile. mtgtop8.com/event?e=52175&…

@DmitryOpines @AlexFergus0n “Only one of the men had a swastika tattoo - the rest of them were just men who like to participate in group activities with a man who has a swastika tattoo!”
English
@AlexFergus0n Yes, vital we police our language carefully when describing the fascist mob of drunken thugs attacking mosques.
English
We're just normal men...
we're just innocent men...
... covered in swastikas.

I wonder how Keir will get away with calling everyone that protests “far-right”. They’re just ordinary people fed up with the same old crap, year after year.

@mtgbanding …a Scryfall search led me to the basic Plains, and when I realised those were the only five cards Rob had done in Onslaught it all made sense, and I thought the swap explanation was just way more likely than any other. I kinda thought everyone else must already have noticed 😂
English
@mtgbanding Well… Rob Alexander is one of my favourite Magic artists, particularly his lands, and I’d always thought it was weird that there was a cycle where he’d done 4/5 - but recently a friend and I were debating (arguing) about who did the best basic lands and… (1/2)
English
Let's go back to Rob Alexander's one basic land in Onslaught and complete the swap. Tony Szczudlo also illustrated three other basics in Onslaught. Seems like a decent fit, but what seals it is...
English
Shoutout to Douglas Penman, AntonStengel, and others in the Premodern Discord for their investigative work. I love digging into Magic's artwork and history. This one was a joy!
English
@BonanniClaudio We’re just starting testing for the Czech Premodern in September and thought this was a spicy one to throw up against the gauntlet - I’ll let you know what we come up with.
English
@_DPenman Not yet and i don’t know if is going to be good anough! I’ll post something next weeks. Are u playing it? Any thoughts?
English
@0ldoini My neighbours stood on their balcony and filmed the police arresting a family of travellers who had parked up on some private land opposite our building - then shared the video in the group chat and they all laughed about it until I called them out. Absolutely awful people.
English
We got kicked out the chat for ‘attacking someone who serves to protect us against crime’!
Sophia@0ldoini
Today he was claiming there was no racism in the Met so I whipped these screenshots out and now the whole chat is locked down

@AliceFromQueens @AustinDunno @quirkyllama Startup Founders: This isn’t 2004 when every idiot with a social media site was fully funded; in 2024 we’re solving harder, existential, future-of-humanity, type problems.
Also Startup Founders: Paying capital gains tax on unrealised gains is an insurmountable problem.
English
@AustinDunno @quirkyllama @_DPenman there;'s no reason for that kind of projection based on a higher effective tax for a few dozen ppl. You've made a series of false claims that I've corrected. You've wisely moved on to unfalsifiable claims but they're nonetheless implausible
English
@AustinDunno @AliceFromQueens I mean… the entire VC industry exists basically to throw cash at 25 year old kids with startups that are 90% likely to go to zero. You think somebody won’t come up with a profitable way to also lend them cash to pay their capital gains tax? Have a little faith in the system.
English
You saying a 25 year old kid that has a couple mil in unrealized cap gains the second his first seed round hits (before he even starts to code or make a sale) are going to be able to borrow a half a million to a million at pay taxes, even though its 90%+ likely that it goes to zero?
