after playing some matches against temporal fissure post decks recently, ive found myself able to win even after they resolve fissure. unless they can storm off enough to literally bounce everything, then ive been finding that my creatures and spells are cheap enough to sometimes recover. just thought Id mention that, I know the first time i saw temporal fissure resolve i thought for sure I should just scoop, but decided to play it out, and surprisingly still handily won.

as far as the mikey K thing goes, Ive listened to alot of PTTP and enjoy both of yalls content. I agree that Magic is a game first and foremost, and the pauper community should try its best to stick together. dont let all the haters in the comments get you down, and I hope any disputes get solved amicably.

suggestions for the arena: Delver blue vs. affinity. I know personally in this match up Ive tried some different sideboarding options and continues to be unsatisfied with my ability to both counter atog and not die from frogmites and myr enforcers to the face (currently my SB for affinity is 4 hydroblast, 2 steel sabotage, and up to 3 coral nets depending). also, the affinity decks with auriok sunchaser are f’in scary.

once again thanks for all the great content!

Keep speaking your mind…though it’s a shame the focus got taken away from the rest of the article, I especially loved the revisiting of that epic 35-3 comeback with mono U vs aura’s.

I completely agree that public statements (such from MikeyK) are most certainly subject for critical analysis in the public forum. If this were not the case, there would be no accountability, and therefore no pursuit of a higher standard of conduct. However, having listened to Mikey’s contributions for about 2 years, I’ve come to learn that he is a very sarcastic person and can come across as mean spirited, even if that’s not his intention. I do believe Mikey is one of the best players (and content providers) in the pauper community, and because of this, he needs to be above reproach when it comes to making public statements. How he has even treated some of his co-hosts in the past (even if it was in abrasive fun) was very demeaning, and reflects his public image. Granted, Mikey has gotten much better over the past year or so (much less rage!), but he needs to keep on the humble path if he wishes to gain credibility.

Jason, you are a great magic player and gentlemen. I hope you can resolve this issue with MikeyK.
