Yeah, when I need them to the Pegasi helped me get in for at least 2-3 more damage per turn, which accumulates into lethal if the Coursers stick around.

That MTG chapter read awkwardly when Jace popped in and out; wasn't there supposed to be a dinosaur there?
To me, what makes it awkward is that Jace is blatantly not the same character that planeswalked out of Ixalan.
Also, even though he's perfectly justified, ghosting Liliana like that was pretty cold of him.

The first few Dominaria stories were pretty good IMO, but then the pacing went out of whack.
Some of the most recent ones feel like "story point whack-a-mole" to me.
I've found myself missing the young fiction, shounen-manga style of Ixalan story*, which is pretty disappointing considering Wizards are actually hiring pro writers now.
* Well, not the Huatli parts. Those were baaaaad.

Going to a Modern event on Sunday in a new store. What should I wear?
I'm thinking UR Kiln Fiend/Thing in the Ice.
Ready to rumble.
My weapon of choice
RIP well written and interesting Jace
It turned out I didn't have Kiln Fiends or Mutagenic Growths, so I ended up taking good old Affinity to the event.
the event
So how about that announcement day.
Aka
Return to Return to Ravnica 1, 2 and 3.
trying to figure out what deck to build next T_T
- - - Updated - - -
Or I could 'finish' my mono black control deck but thats like already finished imo I'd need to swap out one of my removals for a few moreof those instant god killing things which remove them from the hand as well which i don't think is too important in UW meta
Cruor gave me a key to Arena so now I'm technically back playing MTG again. All of these keywords confuse me and I'm sacred so I just built RDW and went on a winstreak.
Is this block just weak as shit or is 3cmc seriously the new standard for "search for basic and put it in tapped"
Ramp has been costed at 3cmc for a while now in Standard legal sets, yeah.
Meanwhile, BBD spoilers are all out and I have a mighty need to get a copy of Archon of Valor's Reach.
What exactly happened that we have viable 2cmc counterspells and reliable 2cmc removal but BASIC ramp has to be costed at 3?
There are 2 CMC ramp spells in Standard but they make you jump through some hoops (Thunderherd Migration)
Also, Llanowar Elves (DOM) is the first CMC 1 dork in Standard since Elvish Mystic (M15) rotated out with the release of Battle for Zendikar.
According to WotC, making ramp less efficient lets them make stronger three- and four-drops that don't break Standard (?).
Pfft that Dominaria ending.
W H O O P S
Serves her right for signing a contract in Infernal/Abyssal without actually knowing the language, or Comprehend Languages.
It seems the DOM Standard metagame has been solved, best deck being mono-red aggressive midrange splashing black for anti-control cards.
Wasn't the pro tour top 8 something like 7 red or red-black aggro decks?
DIVERSE
Better that than unlimited UW Control mirror matches IMO, but yes.
Big Arena update.

Arena is now Standard-complete, with the banlist and everything.
Also, there are now best-of-3 events.
Also, everyone gets playsets of a bunch of KLD block staples including Chandra, HoK, Courier, Fumigate, Ballista, THulk, etc, plus two of each common/uncommon, plus one of each rare/mythic.
Greatness, at any cost.
