If hybrid rules change, I will go out of my way to play some variant of this mess, and you can't stop me.

Feels like more of an error in WotC clearly explaining commander color identity than the rules themselves.

"Each mana symbol in the mana cost and rules text," is a clean explanation of color identity that stops functioning if hybrid rules change.

Family YT Premium + Music made it a pretty easy decision.

Leyline of the Guldpact is a mono-green card in this alternate timeline.

The five color card is mono-
green......

I'd argue Entomb over Reanimate. Entomb + Reanimate flies in the face of sub-bracket 4 play with the new descriptions.

One is more likely to be doing sus play lines running Entomb over a one-off Reanimate.

Also, if we're adding a 6th Commander Bracket, it should be "No Banned List" - Bracket X.

Fight me.

Encyclopedia of Magic needs a purchase limit. They can't have the same garbage happen like they did last time.

Suspinded @suspinded.bsky.social · 2d

Brackets need a little more firm definition and possibly another axis to guage intent before it's going to be optimal for broad adoption. It's helping, but not socially reasonable when players and store owners will be wrestling with semantics on what counts as what.

My high B3 Hojo list made it to the final table with optimized Edgar Markov, and two decks who coasted the infinite rules to the top table, one of which, surprise, wins with an early infinite in their broad scope of "not an infinite."

Suspinded @suspinded.bsky.social · 2d

They only defined unbounded 2 card loops as actual 2 card infinites. If you could "stop" your loop in any way, even after 1 billion loops, it didn't qualify for B3 invalidation....

Went to a store hosting a Bracket 3 commander event with next to no stakes for performance. No motivation to play deep other than bragging rights. There was a pre-event announcement regarding what defined an "infinite" which sounded like legally splitting hairs.

This last weekend has taught me the standard LGS cannot navigate Commander brackets sensibly if the players will not adhere to the intent of brackets in good faith.

It feels unnecessary until it finds something. Always glad when something stays in the "feels excessive" category

Much like other information retention, people who know now have to fight clout based disinfo when trying to correct people.

It's precious playing with players who haven't experienced the wild design decisions of old WotC. Watching people process what OG Jitte does in real time is a treat.

At this point, assume that's where they stand until their actions prove otherwise.

the trump poop video is such a classic Mister McMahon move. It illustrates exactly the criticisms leveled against him - portrays him as a king who looks a lot like Immortan Joe, shows him literally enshittifying the nation - but since he's a heel, it just puts him more over with the marks

Large news outlets are going to focus blue state protests to keep the "leftist extremist movement" narrative alive.
The more visibility given to small town and red protests the more pressure against the narrative can be given.
Keep this up! Spread these protests to dissolve the MAGA narrative.

We won't make the national news bc our crowds were smaller & the photos aren't as impressive to ppl who aren't from here, but I rly hope that ppl in big cities understand that small cities and towns all over showed out today, too.

Some had their largest protests in living memory. Ppl are pissed.

Thus, the hubris. :)

Standard sets are only buffered when Standard is worth playing.

Suspinded @suspinded.bsky.social · 6d

Seems like they implied "you don't have to buy it," to supplemental product.

Now that everything is standard product, it's the only place to skip a release. Curious if they thought making everything Standard would combat noted product fatigue.

Suspinded @suspinded.bsky.social · 6d

I think there's a certain hubris to thinking main line standard releases are immune to, "It's not for me" sales damage.
Turns out when they make everything a mainline standard release, it's more likely to impact that line of sales when something misses.

Suspinded @suspinded.bsky.social · 6d

I marked a 3 to show they didnt influence at all. Bad sets are bad, and if someone's going to get punished for saying that, whats the point of the program. Accountability is key.
