Jace, the Mindsculptor is responsible for the first time that I have ever been slapped in a draft. During a draft of Zen,Zen,WWK I had the misfortune of pulling a regular Jace the Mindsculptor as my rare, and a foil Jace the Mindsculptor as my foil. Never before have I ever considered pulling out of a draft before that; but, alas, the person I'm passing to is my friend, so oh well.
With a tear in my eye, I pass the cash. My friend looks me in the eye as I sadly eye him, and then he slaps me. HARD.
"Why would you pass a jace?!" he shouts, as if his slap hadn't already disrupted the draft enough. Sadly, I pick up my foil jace and show it to him. He was then given a warning for being disruptive and the judge bought me a coke.

I just rewatched Fate:Stay/Night UBW on Netflix. Netflix finally got the second season and the English voice actors for it actually aren't half bad. Also, Ufotable released an OVA for the UBW good ending (featuring Saber surviving the war). I know of an unlisted video on youtube that has english subtitles for it, if you want.
Eh, it's a bit of a Superman argument. How strong is someone who's designed to be stronger than everything else? There really isn't much of a point to debating Saitama vs anyone because it almost always devolves into arguments of "Saitama is designed to be unbeatable therefore nothing can beat him and your argument is invalid".
Powder keg was mostly used before Ratchet Bomb as a tool against dredge and Empty the Warren versions of storm combo. I suppose the question could be better worded as "is this still considered better than ensnaring bridge?"
Thanks!
1) what's replacing REB? I'm hearing that it's exquisite fire craft - but I'm still not entirely sold on the reasons.
2) I was used to seeing powder kegs and pitching needles in the sideboard, are they both gone?
3) what's the verdict on swift spears?
There's very little reason to actually play control when you can just run splinter twin which is control that will combo out of nowhere to win the game. It's been that way for a very long time.

To add my own 2¢:
Until wizards produces counter magic in modern that can reliably stop t2-t3 combos from eating people alive, wizards is going to have to keep banning out whichever combo decides that it wants to be the big man on campus.
well, this is certainly escalating very quickly. I'm not certain it's the right response, but it certainly is a response.
I'm going to hold off on passing a permanent judgement, but by immediate reaction is that having all the judges "go on strike" is a bit over the top.
This is a nonbo. Chandra's ignition specifies that it is the creature that deals damage, not Chandra's Ignition. Hostility's prevention trigger wont happen.

Also of note, the very first reply shows how the card is almost certainly fake.
In edh there are better cards to run than this, but I'd make a special mention to Shu Yun, which doesn't even want this card because it costs too much.
This one is currently Saber of Red, also known as Mordred, from the Fate series. I like it because it's upbeat and silly, while still being an awesome chibi of a character from a series that I like. My old one was Fuuka from a manga, but that one started to irritate me because I heavily disagree with the direction that that manga went.
Spell Crumple and Hinder are going to be replaced by Dissipate and Faerie Trickery or non-counter methods of dealing with spells. The first two have always been slightly worse at dealing with problematic spell, because the exile zone is the deadest you can make a card, but they've been significantly better at dealing with generals. Now there really isn't any reason to run them over the latter two unless you really like to overload on 3 cmc counterspells.
When you tuck a commander (put it somewhere in the library), the recipient of the tucking action may choose to put their commander into the command zone instead of being tucked.
