I played the One Piece TCG for a bit and it's resource system, a mana deck was really interesting. Each turn added 2 "mana", but the player going first got 1 to start rather than 2. Curving out was odd/even depending on play/draw. I really liked that system for what it was.

Ignoring standard, this could be the next banned card in Legacy if it plays out similar to Expressive Iteration at all

Alright WotC. There is a BnR update coming on Monday, this is what the data says about the Legacy format since the last BnR.

Oops All Spells has won nearly 20% of Challenges despite only being 6% of the meta.

It's an absolute mess that you didn't ban it before tbh.

Increasing the paper share of decklists is a good idea. Doing that by decreasing mtgo decklists is the wrong thing.

Maybe all this push back leads to even more paper lists posted or more paper events to post!

Man, I really wish I knew what archetypes did well last weekend

Limited Players:

This common has .02% game in hand winrate higher than the uncommon, therefore I will pick the common

I swear to god, Wizards can't get out of their own god damned way sometimes.

They are making Magic Online change what decklists get published. Only the Top 8 decklists will get posted for challenges under 64 players.

Paper only players really have a hard time grasping just what MTGO data means and just how much worse the average paper player is versus anyone who grinds MTGO. One of the most eye opening, level up moments you can have as a player is starting to grind online instead of locals.

Ok WOTC, we kept our metagame more stable and balanced for EU and Asia Eternal Weekends. We can ban Tamiyo and both oops creatures now

Somewhat happy about the Legacy changes, a little surprised they failed to mention Taimyo or The One Ring at all. But I am extremely disappointed in the PFP for banning the 11th most-played deck on MTG Goldfish with a bad win rate because some midrange players cried enough.

My biggest hope for the b&r is that the next one is in early February or late January

Highly recommend just setting the google doc to web view and not worrying about that anyway

5 months ago 3 0 1 0

if I was at wotc and needed to start the meeting for legacy bnr, this is how I'd start discussion there

1) Ban Tamiyo
2) Maybe ban Reanimate or Entomb
3) Ban Planar Nexus or The One Ring
4) Maybe ban Nadu
5) Talk about Oops, and see if things break without usea holding it down
