I truly admire your ability to ignore me saying I know I need to test more in order to condescendingly tell me to test more.

If you didn't think the 13 games were relevant why did you mention them? You said it feels like you get there a lot which implies you think that 13 games has a meaning at all outside of randomness. They don't.

Not to be a wet blanket. But he did eat a ban for his own cheating right? I think it's okay to be cautious around someone that's been caught cheating previously, but I think it's pretty dangerous to think that someone else's cheating is somehow vindicated. Especially when as I said before, he's already been punished by the system.

I don't agree with the cheating, but it couldn't have happened to a more deserving guy.

It's also pretty fricking absurd that he has the gall to complain about it.

I see SCGs naming standards have gotten even worse.

There weren't really used 3 color identities prior to alara. But with alara giving the shards identities players had to fill in their own for wedges. Makes this shift really awkward.

'Remember, lifelink now happens at the same time as damage' <- It's been 5 years. When do we stop talking about the m10 rule changes.

I like most of the three-color names. The Alara ones are a bit better, though. I think Jeskai and Temur are both really dumb, though.

Jeskai is easily the worst. I don't mind Temur.

Most magic players don't remember a time when lifelink WAS a trigger.

I was also more remarking on the fact that the deck name is similar to people saying they are going to go to the ATM Machine.

Chamber - Marshall (LR) was interviewed by the LRR guys a few months back, and he mentioned that when he's casted for Wizards, they want him to not use slang, mention things that may not be obvious to newer players, ask easy questions to co-casters even if the answer is obvious etc. I'd link it but I'm at work on mobile

I know SCG isnt Wizards but still.

Pedit - yeah I vaguely remember the others, I just prefer slang and Dega didn't have a good one (except Borzhov but ew)
