No. It just tells you how many of each colour you need; it doesn't look at the available mana in the format or your mana curve and construct the mana base for you. Seriously, I'm sure that sometimes you're deliberately dimwitted. Spoken like a true simpleton. If you know how to use Excel it can do ...

That table diesnt actually teach you to build a manabase.
You don't need to learn to build a mana base when you can have Microsoft Excel build you the most mathematically accurate mana base available?

I haven't exactly been following standard. Is there a red spell for under 4 mana that kills pretty much everything in the format, or is tempo red pretty much a lost cause?

Master of the Feast was a SB card last season against GR Monsters because they couldn't get rid of it. It didn't matter that they drew extra cards because none of them would be removal to stop him, and he's so fast that even with the extra card they couldn't win the race. If a popular deck exists t...

Against tokens (specifically Xenagos) or small creatures, sometimes Desecration Demon never got to untap, and opponents went straight around it. Giving your opponents a choice whether your creature can do creature things is not upside. Master attacks for 5 each turn, it's as simple as that. I'm not...

I'm not sure if you're trolling me right now or not. What downside is there to "You either sac a creature or get hit by a 6/6?" Especially when the deck that played it already specialized in causing them to have no creatures to sac? The only time it was bad was when you're already losing, ...

Exactly, and Master of the Feast is a similarly large undercosted creature.

My post is ambigous, I was talking about Master in the second sentence.
Except significantly worse since there is basically no downside for your opponent. Desecration Demon was huge AND had upside.

It's something I personally stopped hearing about long ago, guess I am in the wrong (right) crowds
It's got a hardcore following, and those people are fanatic. It's not a TON of people, it's mostly big on college campuses. I live right by UNCC so I run into those types a lot.

To be fair most esports pros/personalities are like 16-22

Whereas most magic pros/personality are in their mid 20s or older
Most of the top Smash players are 20-25. I think Hungrybox and Mew2King are both older than that.
