I think one more run of STS2 will fix me
I was so good not playing slay the spire on workdays and then last night I stayed up until 1am (way past my bedtime). 😵💫
How do you define this?
By the way, LSS, on the stream where you are revealing the next set name, don't let your casters make a bunch of hint hint jokes about talents that do not appear in the set.
Okay I think I'm excited for Zyggy.
I don't have any card alters. Sorry
No, I can't go to Richmond since my brother is still getting married 😄. I'm sending it off with folks who are.
Gonna be boxing up a bunch of magic cards to sell at SCG Richmond this weekend. Sad time since I don't like selling Magic cards but don't see myself in the game any time soon.
Happy Sage bnr day to those who celebrate.
I played Enigma in two Sage PQs and went 3-3 and 3-2.
I've just really had a bad time with sage, playing a few different decks and just have not had fun with the games at all. I am going to play one more PQ with it, and then I plan on not playing it again until forced to.
5) I enjoy playing setup heroes, but heroes like Dash or Prism or Gravy have basically no shot at all. Which means I'm more or less forced into the go aggro vs go grindy, which as already discussed favors the aggro and leads to more coin flippy mirrors.
4) Defensive tools were preemptively banned from the format, which I get - Sink Below and such block so efficiently and generically. But equivalent or better aggressive cards were left in the pool (Burn Up/Shock being foremost) which means there's just not great ways to play defensively.
3) Aggro mirrors (briar v briar, kayo v briar, etc) feel very swingy and decided by who won the die roll or drew up the better hand earlier. I don't really see a way to fix this and it will probably always be how it is.
2)Entire classes of decks are just a non-starter. Gravy Bones, to use an example that is getting a Sage precon, has the intended "setup and use hands efficiently to leverage board state" game plan, but can't do any of that because allies are just worse than whatever Briar, Fai, and Kayo are doing.
I'm going to keep ranting about this.
1) 20 life formats are just too fast. Some decks can push a lot of damage very quickly, and it often feels like you can be on the backfoot from your first turn and for every one of your turns for the entire game.
Silver Age has been an absolutely miserable time for me. Really dislike the format; hope it can be salvaged.
Amazing thread! The only thing I'd like to add is that you should still make guides even if you're not an acclaimed player or have an impressive result. But just do it for free! What happened to making content and resources for the love of the game.
I have my own SAGE MetaFai :) guide that's completely free and will always be free! If you wanna check it out here it is:

This was more about the quality of cards in BFZ (everything except gideon sucked) rather than the effect of the masterpieces.
Go get em champ
Compendium is cool but I wish I had more heroes to play around with. I'm excited to know what the next set is.
I think the story is mostly whatever until chapter 7 onward which I really enjoyed.
So once upon a time there was this empire called Shurima...
Ripped this from @TheQonfused from the other platform, since folks wanted hard analytics on what the reduction in published MTGO challenge results could mean for a metagame. @inspiringtimmy.bsky.social since you were asking.
Just a nice little containment zone for the shuffler truthers to fester in.
Really hope this issue - which actually matters! - isn't treated the same way
This discord channel link (which I havent viewed) reminds me of the Arena forums where mods would instruct everyone who had an issue with the shuffler to post in this stickied, 1k+ page thread that existed primarily for people to complain in without infecting the rest of the forum with nonsense.
It is 2:31 I'm just getting back from lunch.
Will be buying it and just hoping it's better than the last Strixhaven story.
So Commander is peak agency, because we add additional players?
