Got to try out one of my old decks, Devour, it's awful.
The mana base is horrendous for being a tri colour deck, it's way too expensive and has no way to protect the creatures.
But I got to sacrifice a 4 power creature to Disciple of Bolas and got my combo off to do 24 damage in 1 turn.
Endreck Sahr into Predator Dragon, giving me 6 tokens, Devour 10 creatures, it gets 20 +1/+1 counters.
Felt really nostalgic.

They archive the broadcast on twitch so anyone can watch it later, it's just one giant 8 hour video though. Their youtube channel will have everything separated though and is easier to digest.

Efro actually proposed to his girlfriend at the Magic HOF induction ceremony.
I have no words.

How you phrase that:
"This is the biggest moment of MY life, but I'd rather it was the biggest moment of OUR lives."
I would never do that, seems tacky.
Ok perfect. i love watching pro draft from the little ive seen but was at my buddys playing magic so missed it all

You know, if they're happy, then awesome. I can't hold it against them.
But man, I agree. I just...can't imagine doing that.
Did she say yes ? it's kind of weird seeing both of them on twitch; she seem's really ditzy from what i've seen of her.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I think the real question is which story you'd rather tell your kids:
"I proposed to your mom in the middle of a Magic: the Gathering tournament" OR "I proposed to your mom in the middle of a John Cena match at a Monday Night Raw."

One of these days, the John Cena meme will get old. But today is not that day.
In other news, Paul Paul Paul is 3-0 at the PT. Get 'em Paul!

One of the rare cases where just getting a diamond would be cheaper.
Both IRL, and the Mox cardboard kind.
It was a thing early last standard as well. It's a lot weaker without Stoke.
You can get a set for 2.25 on Ebay/TCGP right now. I'd suggest it.
While we're on that topic, didn't Richard Garfield have several one-of-a-kind cards that had to do with stuff such as proposing and having a kid?

Need my Monastery Mentors to go up in price!
(Virulent Plagues existence is going to keep it to a deck that has trouble being super dominant)
It's in the event deck
As a 1x. Doesn't mean it can't go up if it sees play as a 4x.

Hell Yes a Mardu Tokens deck is there. I need to see this deck.
You can't really get much lower than .50-.60 for a rare. It's a low downside buy for a playset.

Rooting for black-green Aristocrats, so glad Nassif won this match.

What a shock, Gideon is God so far
$34 TCG low. Only going to go up.

So basically it's a good thing I've kept my Gideon I cracked until after the Pro Tour ends to flip. Like, Jeez how'd he get that.
Still a bit salty that the New Gideon has 2/3rd of what Elspeth does(Tokens and Anthems) though.

Gideon goes in way more decks than Elspeth, though.

Gideon as a Planeswalker or this specific Gideon?
My main issue is that WotC tries to make each walker have their own flavor in their colour pie segment(Ajani tends to care about life when he's MonoWhite/buffing your whole army through the use of counters, Elspeth was Tokens/Emblems, Gideon tended to be about controlling your opponent/animating himself/protecting your stuff). Gideon 4.0 is Elspeth's things attached to Gideon's Animate mechanic.
It's kind of meh flavorwise to me, especially since he makes 2/2 Knights despite being a soldier.
I imagine Elspeth returns as a God, not as a planeswalker.
Man... don't say stuff like that about flip LIliana. I probably gotta get her if that's the case.

Might as well be a bulls eye
With that said, my best story playing against a Phenax deck was when I had like 80 cards in my graveyard and I managed to draw and play this guy
Ended up being like a 62/48, he conceded with "yeah I've got nothing for that"

Fetus Jace is stupid, stupid good.
Gideon's even dumber.
Not price-wise tho.
divisionbyzorro

Jace can also go into more decks.
Not yet. (though Gideon won't hit Jace's plateau because it's less versatile.)

I like the idea I've seen around that Elspeth will be the face of block 2 of Return to Theros and will have a devotion Trigger flip thing, though the logistics on that are shakey(though if Theros does go from PseudoGreece to PseudoRome it could be a fun idea to show the change).
Granted, the Flipcards are hard to make and if I had to choose between Flip Theros and Flip Khans(The two timelines meeting means they'd either need like 25 cards per faction max in the large set excluding lands or some way to show the conflict on both sides) Flip Khans all the way.
Granted, this is my pipe dream.

I swear if this guy says "temmer" one more time...
EDIT: Now that does sound like a sick curve. T2 Rattleclaw Mystic, T3 Beastcaller Savant, Mantis Rider.
I do love the balls on this guy to put Mantis Rider and Savage Knuckleblade in the same deck.

Phenax in particular can just win really fast, my friend had one that by turn five could mill any player out of the game in one turn
