It's kind of crazy to me that video engagement is down because yeah, the commanders are turtles, but there are so few turtles cards in the decks, ya know? Like, you're only hurting yourself and the creators by not watching fun content.

Reading this and thinking about how in the Isaac Asimov iRobot books, it's a bunch of robots TECHNICALLY following instructions/three laws, but are doing so in a way that kills people.

Human Coward Knight would certainly be an interesting creature type line.

"Anyway, we all lost to the Seshiro the Anointed player casting Kindred Summons at the end of the Emry player's turn to put 11 snakes into play before untapping and killing us all."

I just want to point out that GRN standard was a solved format. UW Control, GB Midrange, and Mono Red Aggro were the clear best decks. But the format around those decks was balanced enough to where that didn't mean it was a bad format. It meant you knew what to prepare for when brewing.

Your deck was incredibly unhinged (complimentary) and I enjoyed watching your knowledge of Critical Role and its relation to both Magic the Gathering and Spongebob Squarepants unfold over the turns.

I've now had two people come to my desk today, ask me a question, and then ask me to email them the answer.

Please. For the love of god. JUST EMAIL ME.

I don't know who you are. This is a call to authority and I'm not buying it.

Neither of your examples are criticism, though. They're just people being babies on the internet instead of saying, "I don't like this, so I'm going to walk away now and not engage with it." I'm ok with real criticism and you're right, both creators aren't free from it. This isn't that.

Why are people like this? If you don't like something, why are you engaging with it?

Rightfully so! Keep up the good fight.

What is "everything?" If we published all the 5-0s, that would not capture any of the best players' decks.
