Why is everyone giving Standard such a hard time? I mean sure it’s constantly riddled with broken cards, gets solved far too quickly, and produces unfun play patterns, but it wins me a lot of money. Isn’t that enough?

Remember Shadows Over Innistrad? The first open was dominated by Bant Company and WW, and yet at the PT most pros were playing delirium Emrakul variants. Stop whining for bans after two weeks, and start trying new cards.

Hot Take: The London Mulligan has severely shifted the way Constructed format's play out, and exacerbate things when there's a dominate strategy. Magic's had egregious printings in the past, but never has that caused for every constructed format to feel miserable.

In 2009 I quit MTG after losing in the top 8 of 8 PTQs in a row. A month later my buddy Bill showed up at my house at 5am saying I'm going to the PTQ that day. I said no, he said that wasn't an option and handed me my month-old deck. I won. Then took 9th at the PT.
