In post 8249, Isis wrote:there's other decks that demonstrate it better than this one but it's pretty funny that jtms was ever banned from a format he's not good enough for.

The deck looks fun. Playing 1+1 Chalice seems like a stressful amount of access to that effect to play but is pretty easy to imagine being correct
I mean I really only want it against a couple of decks. I am pretty sure its correct to cut it against burn, for instance.

I'd probably want to play 0+2
"Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds. How much, then, is this 'other world' worth to you? What do you have there that you do not have here? Money? Power? Something worth causing the prince so much pain for?'"
"Well, I..."
"What? Nothing? You would make the prince suffer over... nothing?"

I think its a much better preboard card than postboard card against a ton of decks.

I'd probably play an incorrect number of copies to avoid stress

As a selfinterested dredge player I recommend you run 4+0 though.

Dredge isnt a real deck so I don't think it matters.

imo it hasn't been for quite some time.

but I think we might be in a good place rn. I had a lot of fun saturday. I feel like the "small creature combo go brrrr" deck in the format being hammer time instead of infect or hexproof is huge since that deck is actually interesting and fun to play against.

yeah I mean I generally push back on the idea that diverse == good. I think there have been a lot of formats that were diverse and bad and a lot of formats that were not that diverse but still good.

I think that they've printed a whole bunch of toxic cards in the last two years and some of those cards are still around (t3feri comes to mind, for instance.) but overall the gameplay is pretty enjoyable.

I don't mind diverse formats, and I think they can be a sign of health, but I also look at the game play. Theros Beyond Death standard is an example of a diverse format that was fricken miserable, though, as the play patters of the format were toxic.

Idk why an obvious joke post made you feel like dunking on me for trying to play magic on a budget
"Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds. How much, then, is this 'other world' worth to you? What do you have there that you do not have here? Money? Power? Something worth causing the prince so much pain for?'"

I'm not dunking on you... I was dunking on dredge, which is a deck that is among my least favorite parts of magic of all time.

Unfortunately no, but that's on the list of cards to eventually get. It's just hard justifying the purchase right now
