Bacon @nowwithbaconmtg.bsky.social · 09/09/2025I try to be reasonable with my expectations because I understand that this is not an easy job to do and has many factors at play; but MTG is the only competitive card game at the moment that has been continually dealing with balance issues and ban hesitancy. The article does not make me feel hopeful 150
Bacon @nowwithbaconmtg.bsky.social · 09/09/2025I appreciate the thought put into not wanting to ban a deck people dropped money on for the competitive season; but this disregards people who dropped money on a deck that's not viable or competitive due to the extremely constrained format. 171

Reposted by BaconRobert Taylor 🔥 @fireshoes.bsky.social · 02/07/2025There are some pretty cheap Standard decks on Magic Online right now, if you want to jump in. Boros Convoke for 8 tix, Golgari Midrange at 11, and Gruul Aggro for 29. Even Dimir and Mono-White are only about 75 tix. #mtg #mtgo www.mtggoldfish.com/tournament/s... www.mtggoldfish.com/tournament/s... 1244
Bacon @nowwithbaconmtg.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Its so fucked up to read the standard section in the B&R and then look at the state of Pioneer. Like alright, still not consistent with ban cadence I guess. 120

Bacon @nowwithbaconmtg.bsky.social · 20/05/2025Why is it always "Players complain too much, if we ban cori, they'll complain about beans and pixies again" and not "Maybe WOTC is printing extremely fucking shitty cards repeatedly." 121

Bacon @nowwithbaconmtg.bsky.social · 01/04/2025People like to complain about how bad emergency bans/shaky ban windows was; but this is just like, functionally way worse. I'm not quick to forget the: "Listen we're banning Nadu, we promise, we just aren't doing it for another month okay?" Like how is that precedent *good* for a format 010
Reposted by BaconHawkfrost @hawkfrost000.bsky.social · 01/04/2025No standard ban announcements except once a year, no modern ban announcements for six months, no pioneer ban announcements ever. Why even schedule quarterly ban announcements? 243

Bacon @nowwithbaconmtg.bsky.social · 17/01/2025My genuine opinion on all formats: Playable Black/White deck? - Good format, obsessed. No playable Black/White deck? - Bad, its no good, I'd rather explode. 110

Bacon @nowwithbaconmtg.bsky.social · 17/12/2024Theres no actual reasonable reason to unban this card so I have to assume they have a product to push before they re-ban it 100

Bacon @nowwithbaconmtg.bsky.social · 16/12/2024As someone who did play with these cards, I dont understand where the nostalgia is from. People did not enjoy these decks!!! 000
Reposted by BaconCalebDMTG @calebdmtg.bsky.social · 16/12/2024-i don't think ring + raptor is enough to keep boros from being #1. Ajani would've been a more effective ban -"mox opal doesn't fit into any strong decks" Y'all didn't have Belcher variants last time.
