every time i play against show and tell, no mater how many thoughtseizes and counterspells i have, they just always top deck it or back it up with veil of summer on turn 3 or 4, sometimes they play ritual and show and tell on turn 2. Jim playing against show and tell twice, opponents just do nothing --__-- boromir is cool tho, but not so good against atraxa
Jim! So I've been playing a mash up of Winota and natural order. The set up is the same for both decks if you are green based. And the math for having the nuts goes way up.
After the tournament, the format is pretty much: -Show&Tell -decks SPECIFICALLY tuned to beat S&T, but that also have a combo kill plan Doomwake's Winota, Blue Yawg and Spike's Jeskai are a perfect example of said decks. Everything else just disappeared, even though i can see Breach and Titan adapt to S&T. Standard honestly feels like the only format where pure midrange is viable. Timeless was too, despite Order, Breach and Titan decks, but not anymore.
My hot take about the timeless format is that it would be a lot better with Force of Will and pitch Elementals. As it stands, it is a whole lot of “doing powerful things at each other”, but free interaction can help that (even though people will hate scam when it inevitably becomes a good deck)
I thought the format would be improved by Force of Will, but the more I think about it, the more I think the only deck that can play enough Blue cards to support it is probably ... Show and Tell. So I think Force would end up being better at protecting SnT than anything else. Tho maybe Force is a good enough tool to make a reactive game plan better enough that you could play Oko and Uro and shit
FoW Just breaks S&T in half probably, but FoN Is very much needed. As much as i think Pitch Elementals might be also needed, and It would be interesting to have a Legacy-Like format with both them and Lurrus, i REALLY don't want to play against Scam.

Well in fairness, they couldn't really play show and tell after he had boromir in hand.
everytime you said huntmaster, the boomer in me got excited that huntmaster of the fells had made their return in MTG.

Timeless was just Titan vs Bowmasters, like 80% decks played Bowmasters, 60% DRS, 20% were titan. Now is trash but it was trash too
My back hurts, and I definitely remember Flagbearers.
I didn't even know Ancient Ziggurat is on Arena.
35:30 Doomwake Giant is still not on Arena, sadly.
Can we unban Winota?
Huntmaster effectively lets you sideboard a creature for a creature. That's the way to think of the weird tutor/cranial effect.

Id rather force of negation than force of will force of will might be too much
@@rekenneryou could probably do the legacy control shell with force of will and beans
more free spells when comment wooooow soooo original
