Better days. My favorite Standard formats were SOM-INN, INN-RTR, and THS-KTK.
I made some really fun brews with the stuff from INN block. UB Heartless Summoning (playing Ponder in Standard while it's banned in Modern :story: ) and BW Intangible Virtue were my pet decks. I also stuck with Wolf Run Green with Dungrove Elder when people moved onto the (better) list that I think ended up winning Worlds that year.
Junk Rites is to-date my favorite competitive Standard deck I've ever played. Restoration Angel + Thragtusk was *chef's kiss*
Second place is Abzan Midrange. Siege Rhino, Fleecemane Lion. Abzan Charm... That was the good stuff. Even won a local Game Day with it!

SOM-INN was the format that made me fall in love with Magic competitively. From Scars onwards, I realized that I just wanted to register basic Mountains and the shittiest variants of Lightning Bolt in standard for the rest of my career. Whether it was dealing with Thragtusk recursion, chaining Sphinx's Revelation, or shit like Master of Waves, even if pound for pound your deck was weaker, you had access to enough unique tools and hate pieces to deal with them. I still remember making top 8 at a random SCG 2k event by resolving Seismic Stomp against Mono U Devotion and turning my shit sideways against a Master and like 7 tokens.

Why are there so many trannies in this hobby now?!?!?

1) Autism is a risk factor for becoming a tranny;

2) There are a lot of autists who play Magic;

3) Ergo, there are a lot of trannies in Magic now.

I forget where I originally read it, but HRT is to nerd communities what crack cocaine was to the hood in the 80s. Every male-dominated hobby space that has a social stigma attached to it is now full of perverts and weirdos in dresses.

Joke's on you, my only deck is Sharuum/Glaze Fiend combo.

Rise of the Eldrazi was the best draft format in the history of the game.

Though I was watching the old Magic set trailers on YouTube (yes, I'm aware I'm a homosexual) and looking at the responses to the various trailers, from "This should be a series" (Innistrad, Crimson Vow) to "No, and kill yourself" (Thunder Junction, Strixhaven) I had an idea: what if instead of a normal series, they did an anthology series telling one-off stories set on different planes? Use Nashi or Tamiyo as the framing device if you need one, and if any of them really land repurpose it as a backdoor pilot. It seems like a better way to get the setting on film than trying to follow a planeswalker around.

It's funny how guys troon out and want to be taken seriously as a woman but they'll still be overt with their male nerd hobbies. Every woman I've been out with never any interest in my gaming or nerd shit and they would put up with all my other shit but would put their foot down when I was being a faggot about gaming. So for some dude in a dress to think "Everyone will think I'm a dainty lil lady" while sperging out about their new Commander deck build, isn't helping their cause.

now red has creatures that deal their power as damage to your face when they die and it will get WAY worse if they dont ban a couple of red cards.

I've only ever met one woman who played MtG without being brought/dragged into the hobby by a dad/brother/boyfriend/husband/son, and she had a legit autism diagnosis.

It's part of the reason I find this inclusivity shit so funny: there aren't women playing Magic because nerds are too misogynistic, they aren't playing it because women find card games fucking boring. Women and men play a game like Magic for different reasons; a man plays because he likes the game, but a woman plays because it's a way to socialize with someone important to her. If that person ditched the game, she would too, because it was only a means to an end for her.

It's OK though, they just mercy killed standard by making turn 2 pump spell kills more consistent with red duskmorn leyline

Personal hypothesis is that they keep making mono red cards for Arena standard because they confused "popular because affordable" with "popular" and now they keep trying to rotate the deck every set with mixed success and we are slowly reaching the point where smol brain mono red aggro is just actually the best deck.
