This is not the first time at 14:38 when Richard says that Pioneer was fair at the beginning. Oko and Field of the dead were there for the first 2 months, then there was only a month before Theros brought Inverter of Truth/Oracle, Heliod/Ballista, and Breach decks. Those weren't banned for another 7 months, then it was another 7 months for them to ban Teferi, Uro, Wilderness Rec, Balustrade Spy, and Undercity informer. That's like a year and a half at the beginnning for Pioneer to be a graveyard of combo decks before they straightened out the format.

When they talked about how everything is just a "mid-rangy pile + some sort of scam" it reminded me of a video by Eternal Durdles how every legacy deck that wants to be successful nowadays need a certain percentage of "free wins". I guess it applies to Pioneer too :D

I think once Wizards gets into its Biorythm we'll see a bunch of unbans in a Flash. These unbans might cause some Upheaval and I know a few players are having a Recurring Nightmare about some of the scarier cards. I think everything will be fine and the format will Balance out. Just sit back and Channel some good vibes.

I said it back then, I'll say it again: Phoenix is a great standard bearer for the power level of a format, even with Treasure Cruise. It usually is interactive and comparably fair in how it plays out, it can be disrupted reasonably easily from it's main plan, and it requires knowledge and skill to play well. You can have some cards around like Treasure Cruise (or One Ring in Modern, although that is too ubiquitous due to color) that enable you to do *more* of what you're doing, but not immediately win or end up super far ahead because of it.

Difference between charizard and black lotus is huge, like everybody collected pokemon cards as a kid, nobody played, everybody played magic as a kid, nobody had a lotus. It still had a mystique and appeal to early players but I think the rise of power is done, I mean the 50 year old wealthy people who buy them will age out and there isn't a new group of people looking to pick them up, difference between charizard and lotus is lotus was a play piece and charizard was always a collectible and the same thing will happen to Charizard eventually but it's got a longer shelf life than Lotus because of the new wave of young pokemon collectors, that got into through influencers specifically hyping up that card and that just doesn't exist in magic.

37:20 The Leyline is so fragile, Seth. Yes, they have nut draws, but they also have so many nonfunctional hands. I only play Bo3, where it is there from time to time. But it is not oppressive at all. And if you hate losing to it, UW Enchanties beats it up a ton.

I hope for the best healthy choice for commander ban list according to a clean format for playing at cons/magic fest type events. For my personal play groups and if you play against me then please play cardboard. Anything goes, and if it creates a one sided game then at least I am with friends whom I love and I can ask to choose a different deck next game. But yes, when you play magic you should play any cardboard legal and if that is MLD then sweet!

I respect crim so much for his outlook on the game when you guys touched on standard mono red. I absolutely despise playing the red leyline decks even with plenty of options for cheap removal, it just completely destroys so many decks... You can't keep any hand without turn 1 interaction available as you don't know what you're up against, you can't have tapped mana early... It's just a complete mess that forces certain deck building choices unless you want to risk losing on your opponents turn 2. And mind you there's no other turn 2 lose the game deck to consider building against so it's really just not healthy for the format imo.

I think Pioneer is good but I dont know how good standard is. I dont see many standard events fireing and I live in an urban area. It feels like Commander the Gathering is the only format that exists in paper anymore. Both Limited formats are the worst they've ever been and it's always been my favorite way to play.

Pretty confused by Crim's opinion on the leyline deck. Saying he thinks it is maybe fine when he then goes on to say he has been playing a deck that is strictly designed to hard counter it but that deck then also LOSES TO EVERY OTHER DECK. Kind of a weird take on the situation and makes me lose any credibility for that opinion. Having said that I do agree it may not necessarily need a ban in bo3 but in no world should it exist a minute longer in bo1 and every day that passes is just another failure by the wotc testing department as far as I'm concerned. Bo1 games are already heavily dictated by the first coin flip of who is on the play and then if you don't have a hand with 1 mana interaction you might have already lost without even knowing it yet.

When a deck is good it's unfair to Richard. When a deck is some random midrange, it's bad and dies to removal and is unplayable. His opinions are literally the same regardless of the deck and it's absolutely insufferable. The incarnation deck is pretty fair and you can roll it over with side board stuff. You can't win any argument with someone who has immovable opinions. "What fair decks are still winning tournaments?! Oh but it has these cards so it's unfair" 😂😂😂
