Evan and Brad had some scheduling problems for Oath but they plan on doing the next set.
If you have the time, LSV and Marshall Sutcliffe also go through a card-by-card review on the Limited Resources podcast. The common / uncommon review runs over 4 hours for the latest set.
Just stick to gaf's evaluation. We usually on point. /kappaface
Sweet, my lgs are gonna start shooting off 8-man pod drafts whenever it fills up throughout the night. I always hated any other number since it feels drafts we're meant for 8. Gonna be rougher tho, single elim, but 1st place gets 8 packs and 2nd gets 4 packs. I'm game! Gonna be drafting so muchhhhh!
Yeah, definitely looking forward to running a bunch of drafts tomorrow night. I like the 8-4 pack split in real life when drafts are constantly firing, because it makes so much sense to just split the finals and go draft again. (And since there isn't a casual draft option like there is on MTGO getting to the finals is easier 
)

Was Karn Liberated any good in Standard?
He was ok. Saw play as a topper.

I ask because he's obviously ridiculous in terms of what he does, but Eugene seeing a ton of play right now probably has more to do with a deck actually existing that doesn't do anything but cast fucking gigantic things - this has not been a real deck in recent memory.
I am an island.
I love that a ramp deck exists. Shame Karn didn't have that to work with back then.

I think Jace and Mystic got banned really close to the time Karn came out right? I have to admit they did a pretty good job of actually making gigantic fuck-off Eldrazi dudes playable this time, although its pretty funny if you think about it that the Eldrazi Titans are actually better cards than they were last time.
I played Eye of Ugin and Eldrazi Temples when they were legal. They were bin rares. :lol

Speaking of ebay stuff getting cancelled, I hope this purchase of 3 Boom//Busts for $9.50 shipped goes through.
Not gonna lie, I'm furious. I decided I'd email the seller, give them a day, then if they don't respond, notify eBay about this user's behavior. I have no negative feedback, so I don't want them to hit me with negative feedback as a repercussion, but I'm definitely going to let the powers that be know that this seller is backing out of sales.
They got bigger, they were hungry
I don't think sellers can give negative feedback anymore and haven't been able to for some years unless it was changed back.
Yep. Sellers only leave a sentence of feedback for the buyer now. Usually they're prefabricated messages that are left when the item is sold. The seller can leave a bad message, but there's no way of telling the buyer is "bad" unless they open up your feedback and read them all.

Sellers haven't been able to neg in years
I'm relatively new to eBay, more accurately, new to bad things happening on eBay. I'd honestly rather just have the cards but maybe leaving bad feedback will make me feel better (it won't).

I don't preorder anything from eBay for that reason - the seller can just start a new account where they sell standard shit at normal prices to rebuild feedback.
I buy and sell cards on eBay all of the time though, just not preorders.

Speaking of annoyances dealing with people online, I'm starting to get the feeling that nobody on pucatrade or deckbox actually picks up cards to play with. Apparently I sent a card with "surface scratches" and the guy was livid. I didn't even know surfaces scratches were a thing. He sent a picture back and I still couldn't see anything wrong. Couple months ago some guy took issue with a tiny corner nick on a dual I sent him. It's like, the card is 22+ years old, if a tiny imperfection is that surprising then he really should be only exchanging cards in person. I think the only time I ever got annoyed over condition in an online trade was when I received a card with a huge crease through the center without warning.

I've never had a problem on Pucatrade with that. The bigger problem is the fact that people won't send me certain good cards at all.
It's much better for picking up mid priced role players or Standard Mythics.

How does Puca work? You switch your collectables with someone else right? Do Puca moderate the trade and protect against scans etc?

Why are you selling it anyway? Didn't you just finish it?

My Boom/Bust deck can beat Lantern. By playing Noble Hierarchs and just swinging for 1+however many other Hierarchs and Qasali Pridgemages I got out.

Ghirapur and spellbomb?
I need to do this.
So, I bought a Four binder by Decktutor this week.
I love this thing. It's a binder that is designed to hold playsets
It's a really nice way to look at something when you finally accomplish it, like collecting all 20 KTK fetchlands
And if you are looking to build a deck, it's a nice way to track what you are missing. As you can see here, if I want to build modern fish, I still need 2x Master of Pearl Trident, and 1 Master of Waves
My only issue with it right now is with Sleeves- Dragon Shields and Art Sleeves don't fit in very well, and I'm finding that Ultra Pro sleeves not made in the last year or so don't fit either. Brand new Ultra Pros fit fine, and Unsleeved the cards go in securely, but it's kind of annoying.
Would recommend the product to anyone.

Technically it should have been finished 3 months ago but it took that long to get my last cards from the scammer on deckbox.
Frankly, I never go to any local modern events and there isn't gonna be a modern pptq for a while. So I just have this 850 dollar pile of cardboard that exists almost exclusively for goldfishing.
On top of that, modern has always been my least favorite format, it's closer to edh than legacy with all the bullshit going on. Lantern at least let me enjoy the format because there's a lot of decision points, but ultimately I don't really care either way if I'm playing it.
I'll always be a primarily limited player because magic is all about solving puzzles to me. Constructed gets dull when you play the same games over and over. That's why I post dozens of decklists for decks I'll never build lol

And where's the 4 by 4 symmetry? That binder is killing me.
20 Pages, each one holds 6 playsets.... 120 playsets/480 cards
The thing is a perfect square, and it's already huge. It won't fit in a drawstring bag, and I don't think it would fit in a backpack if it was much larger

This is why I say Abzan Coco is good against Lantern.
It's all about density of relevant cards. Abzan Coco and Burn have the highest number of cards in Modern that can continue to interact through an ensnaring bridge.

I have two of them. It would be way too fuckhuge as a 4x4.

I used to use binders, but I brew too much. Kept pulling the cards out. Now I used holiday boxes.
