I know you said this probably won’t happen unless there’s more RC practice required, but really love seeing this perspective of learning the format and it’s helped a lot in a very short time to hear your commentary on the format. I qualified for Dallas but am unable to attend, BeYourGaard wishing you the luckiest top decks imaginables for the tourney!

As much as I love your legacy stuff, it’s nice to see/hear that standard is in a better place. I’ve been watching Gabriel nassif play azorious control on arena/Mtgo and it’s really got me thinking I might be a control player instead of the midrange player I always thought I was. 🤷🏼♂️

When you said "Literally hundreds of mana" my brain heard "effectively unlimited mana, but no way it's literally hundreds" and then you queued into that deck and they tapped a single Swamp and a single Island and had 200+ mana in the pool with dozens of untapped lands. So I guess now I know.

It's been a while since I played standard on MTGO but I'd be happy to see that the leagues are cleaned up. Last I remember the standard leagues were rife with sandbaggers trying to use multiple accounts to farm chests. If the standard leagues are legit now that's a great improvement.

Arena is excellent. The rigged shuffler is only for bo1 matches to smooth out the hands. The card weighting is only for brawl and makes perfect sense, because it's not very fun to have a newer player with a significantly underpowered deck playing against top tier combo and control brawl decks constantly.

Hey Bosh! Just to ket you know, for your standard appreciation, the simic deck you went up against is called simic cookies. The youtuber Ashlizzle is its main champion. If you wanna learn more about the dexk i reccomend you start there. Im a dimir control player myself and that is a tough but winnable match up. But you have to know how to play against it.

@ZoltarDeathNnja2 ай бұрын
@@anergyboy2192 That's interesting that it limits production to 139 of a certain type, but that's also where I'm even more confused. If just a simple 8 bit signed or unsigned integer, the limits would be -128 to 127 or 0 to 255. If we move up to a 16 bit integer, those limits go up to -32768 to 32767 or 0 to 65535. Thanks for the information that it's a limited value, though. I guess it's kinda like how they limit tokens to 200 or something.

I was prepared to have to skip this one, but was pleasantly surprised to see that it was still MTGO and not Arena! I can't begrudge video creators for playing what they want (or feel they have to), but I do unfortunately find Arena completely unwatchable. (E.g. unfortunately-for-me, this is what happened with SaffronOlive's otherwise-lots-of-fun content.) Normally I would also say that I don't care much about Standard, but this video was really interesting, as were the decks on display. If you enjoyed it and do make more Standard MTGO videos, I for one would definitely watch them just like the Eternal videos!

I wish standard was better on arena but the abuse of the non randomized starting hands is so savage i got really tired of it with the win grinding decks.

My main complaint in Standard right now is that Midrange decks are squeezed. You either have Slickshot aggro, Boros Convoke aggro, various ramp strategies (5C Atraxa or Nissa Lands) and control. What about Raffine? What about the 5C Legends? These are just control and ramp in disguise. Raffine runs lots of removal and creature interaction (Bat, Loran, Aven, Ertai, graveyard hate on the wolf or rat, etc.). And 5C Legends generally hits 7+ mana before the game is over between Slogurk and the Relic.
