This does not belong here.
Wizards and any affiliated companies, organizations, stores etc need to stay out of politics. What one gamer does is not the business of a franchise and their product has nothing to do with the behavior of single people.
Wizards getting involved, this website getting involved and others continuously commenting on this and getting involved is what is destroying not just this society but even the American one with the larger more political events.
There will always be sexism and racism what people need to do is stop being hyper sensitive and stop coddling wounds and focusing on the predators. Christine Sprankle lost when she stepped out of the community. Rather than just stick up for herself publicly or take it to court and use out judicial process available she simply gave up and whined about it.
This is a far deeper issue in not just this community but society. She expects us to do things for her, defend her, and react to her "sorrow"
This is the problem. People need to learn to grow a thick skin and defend themselves appropriately.
And wizards apologizing for things like the garruk and lili art coddles this childish behavior.
We cant even have our FU**ing game bc people are too sensitive. The hyper sensitivity and need to coddle those with these ideals seeps not only inot our game but into star wars and now marvel comics with their female iron man and captain america.
Its frustrating to see these companies getting involved in these ideals rather than staying true to their fans and the game/story.
This is the same for this website. We dont care about opinions anymore. State your opinions ONCE and move on. STOP lingering on emotions and the same thing and move on. Jeremy is so guilty of this i mean his videos are 20 minutes long because he rattles on about the same shi*.
He is out of hand and offending ppl unnecessarily but on the flipside others need to stop being offended and move on. And we must all recognize that he does have a point on the leftist philosophies seeping into our games and hobbies and that is very frustrating.

"You can definitely always predict emotions and intent from text"
This is obviously sarcasm but you prove my point. You CANT interpret emotion or intent. So then why be sarcastic? Being sarcastic in text is so easily seen as condescending precisely because you CANT interpret emotion and intent.
And you even further prove my point by talking about ceaseless hunger. It doesnt matter what his insight is it matter how you react to his advice whether its bad or not. Sarcasm CAN and WILL be interpreted as condescending. You can agree as much as you want with him but youre wrong. Sarcasm has no place here where no one knows you, your intent or your emotion. It WILL be seen as condescending and rightfully so. Whwn someone asks for advice your useless sarcastic comments arent needed and dont advance the conversation.
And lets be honest the way he says sarcasm is common and if im unfamiliar with it then...
Cmon bro him saying im unfamiliar with it IS exactly the condescending attitude. everyone knows what sarcasm is. That is the case and point.
Secondly, you dont use sarcasm on a thread where people dont know you nor know when or how youre being sarcastic ( though at times its obvious) that is exactly why its percieved as condescending. If you donf understaand that than idk what else to say.
But thats enough of that im dont talking to and about this dude.
Youre the same dude that had that horrible attitude with ceaseless hunger a few pages back. Bro you need to chill with your trash attitude. Nobody here likes your condescending remarks and attitude. So chillout.
Tbh i hardly win because of E1
Most of my wins are off of geist, baloth, and avatar
But i do see E1 as pretty valuable. I just dont like basing all creature pics solely off of E1.
Secondly as for the removal. To judge a card based on oh it can be removed or it can countered i see the merit but i mean all these cards die to counters, and many of our combos are wrecked by removal. Such as rancor..
Should we stop playing rancor bc we can be two for oned?
I think its good that we have certain cards that NEED to be answered as that should be one of our goals bc that means wer dangerous.
If reverent hunter HAS to be answered and usually is. Shouldnt it be more heavily considered?
Im just wondering i am still kind of a noob but still. I think that is a logical conclusion.
Finally
I really believe we need some kind of card draw or filtering or something. I find by obersving gameplay and playing the deck that it simply runs or of gas quickly pretty often.
So i think we need a little but of card draw/filtering/tutoring.. something
What do you guys think about running just a two of of cards like
grapple with the past
gather the pack
These cards could also help fuel a scavenging ooze and our life total for just a few points.
But maybe having creatures in those spots is just better, i dont know. Though I still believe we need some fuel. And having a 1 of collected company is optimal for this deck.

I think it is perfectly balanced and answers many threats pre sideboard
The 2/2 split with walking ballista and hangarback i think is very very effective and i suggest others at least try it.
I dont run4 chalice simply bc i dont like drawing more than i need. It is literally a dead draw and not to mention tends to shut off my own spells like map and mind stone.
I like mind stone bc of the mid-late game draw which i think the deck really really needs at least 50% of the time.
2 wurmcoil bc he is simply a monster in my opinion and he should be played more.
2 basilisk collar bc I really despise having my only collar destroyed and i love gaining life with this deck. It makes it just seem unfair to play.
However the allure of stompy IMO is the mono color (as well as the budget) however I do see your list as being pretty good and looks fun to play.
Ive been testing Renegade Krasis and i do have to say its pretty good. It is a tad slow but it gets out of control if you had the correct start.
I do recomend it to you guys to at least test it out.
Rancor for example is a perfect card that can cost you 2 for 1 if they remove the creature you attempt to attach it to. There are always responses to things we do and at some point will cost us more.
That isnt reason in my opinion to not play a card.
Many people have said the same about ensoul artifact in affinity though that card has seen many top 8's in that deck and I have had tremendous success with the card myself. But i digress.
Your other reasons however, are valid points and things to think about. I still have to say that just bc you cant "rationalize it" doesnt mean it wont work and in fact has worked and i still think you should try the card at least. Many times that ive played the card it has worked in my favor though it is impossible to say would it have been better as a creature in those instances.
Perhaps ill play a renegade krasis or another pair of baloths.
Though I will continue testing and playing with the numbers to see how the card will do.
I am also considering playing two collected companies instead and just not have evolutions at all. I think that may be optimal.
Well hammers are good tools. Been used for centuries have they not?
Well i may cut EE or not im not sure yet bc I have had success with it though i see the point in going one route of attack with just creatures.
So then what do you think of instead 2 EE and 1 CoCo i go 2 coco and 1 extra creature?
And id like to hear your case for or against CoCo in terms of the arguments i presented
Also have you tried EE in this deck? If so what were your results?
I see you point of why not a creature
Instead however EE has a tool box effect that the deck could use to great effect.
Secondly, sure you can put in extra creatures in its place however EE is not in a taking any creature slots but the slots used for the removal spells.
I see your points but I dont really like drawing E1 and dryads after turn 3 and EE gives me a way to turn those draws into something better. I also like the option to fetch out a thrun or dungrove elder. The point is that it allows you to find a suitable piece for the match up and what you have in hand not just "removable beef".
But thats why I said I know some people dont like EE and thats fine. I dont really like paying 4 life for dismember and prefer this route.
