This is so sick except for the fact that based on the panelling on the first one I thought Godzilla was gonna crack that crustacean claw right open like it was a snow crab πŸ˜‚
πŸ˜” Mantle and Bonds coexisting was actually kinda crazy lol
For anyone too impatient to wait for James White to make an official announcement, I have insider information from some of the big TOs about what a Showdown is.

This is how I feel sometimes when I post things - I am just an instrument in the hands of a god who does not know it exists
The Dodgers are an analogy for America, succeeding through slimy capitalist means and unrepentant economic bullying, while a few immigrants in key roles do all the actual work.
As the 2025 Blue Jays taught us, we should do our best to bring about revolutionary socialism even if there is a pessimism or sense of inevitability to a certain outcome. There is bliss in finding purpose, no matter how doomed.
Also just realizing the typo it should be seeing, everything I say is the word of god
Crown of seeds goated unfortunately
I know right!! It’s like dawg it’s fine to just say you don’t like how powerful a deck is, we can still nerf things on solely that basis
in short, rip Bloodsheath Skeleta
the Hemal Patel banlist index
I agree completely also calming breeze sucks but that’s okay πŸ˜‚
Yeah unfortunately I think Bonds stays on the naughty list for reasons outside of just format balance but honestly could be a vibe in the future
See the dumbest part is I know it’s mainly just that people will complain no matter what, but I feel like I’m going insane every time I see a wave of public outcry trend towards something purely on the basis of it being the annoying thing this past 5 minutes
Even in the case of banning a key card to the assassin class like Bonds of Agony, LSS (generally) does not do bans with the intention of completely taking away all the reasons to play a class or hero!!
The toxic part is that I think the bad takes are poopoostinky
Nothing wrong with being pro-bans and wanting some active management of the meta from LSS, but I promise you that decks are allowed to have cool and powerful individual things! And that can be retained while still being balanced with other knobs and dials!
More bans can be really useful to curate a metagame for a tournament season or t3/4 event, or to make tuning changes to overperforming decks. There are plenty of cards to hit that can hold back the power level of a top performing deck without deleting the unique or interesting gameplay loop
Maybe you can call this toxic but I keep saying bad FAB takes like β€œban mask of momentum” or β€œban flick knives” or β€œban storm striders”. I don’t think the correct approach to bans should ever be to delete decks from the metagame, and even with LSS recent more-bans philosophy, it wouldn’t be right
As long as I get my Bloodsheath Skeleta I am willing to sacrifice a few things at the altar πŸ™
I only spent $2 let me enjoy my shiny cardboard πŸ˜…
I feel like when they reevaluate their overall banlist it might come back to the format
