Oh, they are perfectly fine for casual play and a fantastic way to get into the game for cheap. We are down because we are a bunch of jaded people and the new cards aren't as powerful as previous years so don't worry about us.

We'll see, the appeal for me iin cats s more as a novelty as I've been there and done that for other tribes when I was playing nothing but kitchentable magic for more than a decade.

Its not a meta joke. Lots of people have confirmed they don't hide it when they go around GPs or whatever. It's just not a thing they actively make a part of the conversation.
It's actually a pretty smart way to go about it. They're not the type that have publicists or anything so why would they need to do anything about it? Just do whatever you want to do.
well, you're going to have to upgrade any of those pre-con EDH decks regardless, unless you're playing with a very casual group. Any of these decks get shut down easily by sweepers, which tend to be thrown around liberally. Since you're locked to one creature type, the dragon deck has vastly more room to improve than the cat deck, for example, which has far fewer options for powerful cards with relevant synergy

oh definitely, very welll handled by the both of them. Especially considering the both of them having gone through divorces.

I'm not saying anything about the actual quality of this particular prroduct, but the median response in this thread to every product and release tacks a decent way into the negative, I don't think it has much predictive value.

Pretty sure people mentioned it in this thread after PT Kaladesh.

It's like the Jon and Dany of the Multiverse.

We could ship Nissa and Chandra some more if that helps.

They literally streamed together just yesterday. They both are people very public in this hobby of ours, it's only natural they'd become a topic every now and then.
There's really not that much creepy, apart from the sleuthing.

I expect it to be boring. Not boring and creepy
Can we talk about who we ship from MagicGAF? I'm totally on the Ashodin/kirblar bandwagon.
Thank you.
I'd rather hear people talk about wanting to husbando Ajani or whatever than this.

You guys sure find weird things to get upset about.

I wish the cat deck had more actual cats, not weird people-cats. I think I counted 6 real cats, 1 card that make real cats... Could have missed some, but still.
The Internet and casual players definitely like cats, but I don't know if they have the same love of people with cat heads and cat tails.

In other 'things that constantly happen in here that make people mad' things, why wouldn't you just link it? Takes all of two seconds to do lol
For people who want it

is this like an opposites attract thing
I mean, that's how all the best romantic comedies start, right?
Also, a lot of divorces.
nuking this thread would be kinder than having this discussion

I feel like I said the opposite once before but yeah it is. At least in a GDS meta.

Sadly true.

Which tribes would you rather have seen?
I agree that cats and wizards aren't that exciting to me.
Perhaps Angels and Zombies? Or Goblins and Slivers?

We've had this discussion before knowing all the details.
Werewolves deserve a chance in EDH.
Rats are very one dimensional.
Snakes need more support, particularly a sultai commander.
Dwarfes needed another RW push and no chance to mess up with vehicles in commander.
I really do not understand why they did dragons. Except wanting a guaranteed seller.

Yeah, how dare they do an incredibly popular high-demand tribe!
Our recurring discussions have become stale, we need to discuss whether combat damage should use the stack again.
Wait, he's actually divorced?!

Goblins, Zombies and Elves are obvious choices but maybe too overrepresented, and Angels probably too similar to dragons, so I'd probably chosen Elementals, Allies, Humans, Merfolk, Fairies, Spirits or Eldrazi over those.

Eh sure as I said except for having a guaranteed seller.
Dragons didn't need it as a tribe and as a Dragon tribal player they didn't even make a great jump on point for such a deck.

Nah. This ship is on the back burner for probably at least 6-7 months (if not potentially significantly long) since the next block doesn't seem like it will involve either of them and they've committed to less focus on the Gatewatch along with less "The whole team goes to Plane X". We will need new ships to keep us going in the meantime.
No, but if you ban it control goes back to being T2 in Modern. Let us win for once

I could see Werewolves, that would be cool. I don't really see Rats, Snakes or Dwarves doing much as a tribal theme.

Eh no there's much more to snakes than just Amonkhet and Tarkir. And Nagas with tribal synergies can work if they are powerful enough.
I'd play Hapatra in Sultai snake deck for instance.
All of them got tribal support in the past. Dwarfes also got the vehicles going for them.

I just mean as a boxed Commander product. They seem further down the list than other tribes that come across as more exciting. /opinion

It's really just production costs keeping this one down. Their stance so far is that supplemental products without a premium price can't support DFCs since the cost of printing them has to be amortized over the whole run, which is a real shame -- the absolute best option for making WWs a more viable Commander tribe would be a deck with 6-7 new printings designed for that purpose.

You have to rely on commons and uncommons being the only new information, so you'll find no solace there.
Speaking of which, we are now rivals (of Ixalan) meaning I'm now shipped with you.
Spoilers of Ixalan started three months ago. We can still discuss them. I do wonder though, are you really a junior is or that just a cruel tag?
