    Fun fact: in magics lore there is a sort of "one ring' Lim-dul as a simple soldier once found a ring that corrupted him. The ring contained the essence of Mairsil the Pretender and it gave Lim-Dul great power. This would be an awesome Universes Within "Skin" for the One Ring.

    True but also lore wise Liliana took Lim-Duls ring and buried it far beneath her families home to the point where her magic couldn't sense it anymore. This was to prevent Lim-Duls (Raven Man)corruption and from Phyrexia obtaining it

    True story about unsleeved cards: In my office we would play magic during our lunch break in a conference room. This one guy who play back in the very start of magic, and had full collections of all sets up to something like the Urza block. We all knew he had the power nine (actually 8 because someone in the 90's stole is Mox Pearl), and we asked if he wanted to build a deck to play with us. So after a bit of prodding, he built a 5 color sliver deck using just cards he had, no new cards. So we sit down and he has this deck completely unsleeved, is bridge shuffling it, and starts playing OG duals, and sliver queen, etc. At one point he probably had $10,000 worth of cards on table completely unsleeved and didn't even give it a second thought. I told him that I would leave right now and go buy him sleeves just so he wouldn't ruin these cards. He declined, but it was wild to see and remember when I started playing during revised that we never sleeved our decks.

    Had a similar situation at boarding school in the early 2000s - friend had a huge collection of cards going back into the 90s, including some pretty valuable nonsense. We would just put all the cards into a huge pile and dig out whatever to make random decks every play session, no sleeves, no respect, just pure savagery. The first time I saw a sleeved card I thought it was weird. You should be rawdogging your opponents with the unprotected savagery of a dog-eared black lotus that has an ever growing tear with every shuffle

    I constantly get that offer as well. I tilted someone by playing an unsleeved Cabal Coffers and Urborg. I do refuse to put my drink on the tables. The issue is I have approximately 200 unique decks, one being a Battle of Wits. That’s 12,190 sleeves. At 100 in a pack, $6 a pack, I’d end up spending ~$750 on just sleeves

    My opinion on pre-scheduled B&R vs. random "whenever they feel it's necessary" B&R is that pre-scheduled is better, but it should be more regular. Not once per year, but some fixed amount of time after each set release. Long enough to have a good idea of the metagame and allow counterplay to develop, but not so long that problems fester for ages like the once yearly updates would cause.

    Just a perfect storm of an extremely awkward time to have a B&R window.

WotC has been complacent with it recently because the priority is revitalizing Standard and pushing out as much targeted Commander product as possible. The other aspect is that Pioneer has essentially become curated by 'Standard's greatest hits' and WotC always favors printing threats over answers lately. This, Pioneer is always deprived of efficient, targeted answers for its meta while it is constantly injected with increasingly proactive cards that encourage combo and value pile play patterns.

    Combo is level 1 of the PT metagame, everyone is going to see it coming. So my prediction is some sort of assertive/aggro plan with disruption elements (discards/counterspells/removal) becomes the level 2 that you want to be playing because it preys on combo. In short, maybe this is finally merfolk's time to shine. Though I personally am quite high on the Izzet wizards lists.

    about the "do people really sleeve their cards?" at around 56:00 onwards: I would imagine that those players who truly play kitchen-sink MTG, with those random piles of cards as decks, they would not care for sleeves. the players who actually get together regularly in LGS and such always have sleeved decks. I personally have one unsleeved deck (it costs 25 bucks total and was purposely made to not be sleeved) and I even riffle shuffle the deck, which always has people go crazy when they see it.

    37:00 The One Ring won't get power crept, but it could get nerf crept by printing more cards that punish card draw (like Orcish Bowmasters). It's hard to see how they reprint it. The name is trademarked, owned by MIDDLE-EARTH ENTERPRISES, LLC, so they probably can't reprint the name without paying another licensing fee. And reprinting it under a new name causes the problem of 8 One Rings in a deck.

This should address modern most with that RPTQ season starting and would be after the modern PT. I may have the seasons a bit mixed but two hard locked ban announcement times should be enough and if a big problem arises then you can emergency ban. That is my idea for B&R scheduling.

    I sleeve some boardgames. Terraforming Mars, for example, I have fully sleeved in the same sleeves I use for MtG. That said, c'mon guys, it's easier to photograph cards without sleeves, sleeves produce glare.

    As somebody who introduces A LOT of people to Magic, I can say from my own experience that people are confused when I mention that they may want to sleeve their decks. They think about Magic cards like any other card game (e.g., poker, sushi go, etc.) - that is to say, something that should be played, not something they are investing in. I see people learning to sleeve their decks if they begin building or modifying their decks, and they begin to see the prices of specific singles. However, if people stick with pre-constructed decks or some form of starter decks, sleeving cards usually isn’t considered or prioritized.

    I feel like the problem with not supporting the assassin archetype in ACR stems from not having commons. You need commons to flesh out new themes in a set and the lack of those commons mean there’s no meat and potatoes for your theme to take shape.

    You can’t have sleeves featured as WOTC doesn’t own a sleeve brand which means they would be promoting and showing favouritism to a certain brand. I’m surprised the Fish Crew didn’t know this. It’s because they are not sponsored by Ultimate Guard.

    Once again I'm a little worried that the pro tour is too close from the release of the set, so pros didn't have enough time to brew hard enough. And because of that most people will pick something safe like Storm, Tron or Nadu. But if the pro tour was a few weeks later we could've seen a lot more interesting and unique decks I think.

    I think it can go the other way too. If you wait a month or two after the set releases the meta can be solved and then you have the equivalent of Standard Pro Tours when 45% of the field is playing some Rakdos variant.

    MTGO league data being open could be the source of so many unwarranted outcries and a slight possibility of some (actual) expert making a good counterargument to WotC reasonings. Doing statistics is hard, but it's astonishingly easy to (accidentally) misrepresent a dataset in such a way to get a pitchfork wielding mob going. You can get a fairly convincing argument out of shoddy stats on a HS/collage graduate level of understanding.
