If only we had a card in Standard that would punish a player for putting too many tokens into play to neuter Field of the Dead / Scapeshift. Should probably be Red and deal damage. Ah well...

For reference, the top Hearthstone (Kripp) & Magic (Numot) streamers have a hard focus on limited. Games of limited include deck building + playing with different strategies and make for engaging content. It seems like we need to improve the way the content is shown.

I'll compose a longer message tomorrow but fun factoids after the GP win: * I have only played this limited format on Arena / IRL (2 drafts on MTGO but zero games). * This is also true of Standard. * I did the trip to secure Gold but locked it by NJ. Decided to go anyways.

I’ve done a lot to avoid anger in life. However, there are still two things that get me no matter what: 1. Internet that is slow / randomly disconnects when promised as fast. 2. Seeing people not treat others as fellow human beings. I’ll work on 1. Think 2. will stay.
