Talking to red sox is better because he's way less of a dick

Hes a contrarian for the sake of being a contrarian. He only comes to these topics or makes shitty polls to annoy people.

Say what you will about Corrik, he does have convictions (at least in his own mind), however faulty his arguments and conclusions are. If red soxs posts are to be believed, he is willing to sacrifice any shred of moral integrity to spite the other team and uses empty sophistry to seem more nuanced than he is.

However, I dont think they are to be believed. I think he is just the best baiter on the board, an old school troll that I can respect in a twisted way very few play the long con anymore but that contributes almost nothing of value.

How do you draft Thrones well? A buddy of mine opened an LGS and I'd like to support him.

Do any free, legal draft sims still exist?

The closest you can get is MTGArena, which is still drafting with 7 bots and not people. I know there are some other ways to go about it, but I have no specific information.

As for the format... well, for the first time since OG Ravnica, the mill deck is real. GW Adventures, GB food, and RB/RW knights are good archetypes. UR is insane if you get the good payoffs. Go-wide strategies arent great because of Revenge of Ravens, which blanks your 1/Xs. As usual, draft a good curve, take removal when you can find it, and bounce effects are much worse than usual because bouncing an adventure creature is terrible value.

Tulsi and Yang have a lot of overlap so that's not too surprising. There's a small contingent of Bernie/Yang/Tulsi internet people that have the same energy of the people that went from Bernie to Trump in 2016.
A lot of the bots have been posting pro tulsi stuff in bernie twitter/reddit threads. I haven't seen enough yang stuff to botcheck but they've definitely been courting the outraged bernie crowd.

How can you tell the bot-ness of someone?

1 drop for a 4/3 seems pretty powerful to me. Hard to deal with in the early game depending on what youre up against. Might be easier to just take the 4 damage to prevent more than 4 in the long run.

Thats the problem it isnt a 4/3 unless your opponent chooses for it to be a 4/3. This is the Browbeat problem and why a lot of cards like this are traps both sides are great in a vacuum, but when you have context, your opponent will always choose the side that is worse for you.

On turn 1, they either dont have removal, in which case it becomes a bolt+1. Pretty sweet. If they do have the removal, you just played a creature that dealt no damage to them, as opposed to Goblin Guide, Monastery Swiftspear, or Eidolon of the Great Revel. You spent a turn doing nothing, which you cant afford to do. Mid-game, you need cards with reach, which Vexing Devil does not provide. A 4/3 for 1 is completely irrelevant in a burn deck by turn 3, in which case it again dealt no damage.

Yeah, it is hard for some of you to believe that people can set aside differences in political beliefs and still value, honor, and respect others whose views differ from your own because so few of you seem to embody that in yourselves.

That is why Ellen hanging out with George Bush can be slammed so vehemently and it be so hard for you to believe that a Republican can say something honoring a deceased Democrat.

Many of you have forgotten we are Americans first in your crusades. I hope Gowdy and Ellen and hell Tulsi can start to open your eyes some to your narrow views you hold.

Now now, dont be like that. Often, self-reflection is among the most difficult things people can do.

If you cant ethically consume the product of the NBA because of the influence of Chinese money and market, how is that any different than the multitudes of other companies that depend on the Chinese market? Nike, Apple, every video game company owned by Tencent. Are you cutting all of that out too?

Fair. It feels different here because the cowardice seems explicit for once, happening in broad daylight instead of boardrooms. But you are right in that theres little functional difference. Like I said above, this isnt exactly a big sacrifice for me.

Not quite the same thing. If I wanted to watch college football and be disappointed by the Wolverines, I could do that and just not watch Penn St. games. Having the integrity of the entire professional league in doubt means no pro basketball, period. Thats a big thing to give up for some people, especially if the mindset kicks in of my decision not to watch wont matter in the scheme of things, so why deny myself something I like?
