What does everyone think on how the game would feel if everyone spawned with three thrusts that didn’t fall on the ground as pickups when killed?

I feel like thrust is the missing key ingredient more than the starting weapon in the “skill gap” conversation.

I think it would also make players stop and think before hoarding each power up like repulse and grapple because it would mean giving up thrust, and those could be used more strategically.

The United States hasn't been in many penalty shootouts over the past 20 years, so most have come from the run of play. For me, two stand out.

Like most discussions we'll have over the next ten years this one is going to come down to the GOAT vs the Baby GOAT.

Excusing the obvious difference in video quality (us millennials and Gen Xers lived a life without direct capture for a long time), which penalty is the best o

For years with the national team Landon Donovan was both the team's best scorer and its best finisher. In 2002 he played almost exclusively as an out and out striker but in the years leading up to 2006 and in that World Cup Bruce Arena started to play him as a withdrawn forward behind a single striker. The idea was that this would combine Donovan's best skills, but that proved to be a disaster at the 2006 World Cup. Once Bob Bradley moved to playing Donovan and Dempsey as dual AMs, the team had its best run of form with Donovan from that point forward.

So what does this mean for Berhalter with Pulisic, who is this team's best finisher and its best creator?

I think the solution is to play P

I don’t understand why the limited spots of these Anthologies are being wasted by cards they chose to omit from Amonkhet and Kaladesh remastered and/or Jumpstart.

Allied commands? Sweet!

Random Kaladesh or Amonkhet block uncommon or rare? Why?

I don’t understand how this card continues to fly under the radar in historic.

I'm so happy for David Dahl, I will be happy for Story when he's traded, and I will be happy for Nolan too, even if it's to the Dodgers.

I'm just hoping that Gray, Freeland, and Marquez can go be stars somewhere else too.

Maybe someone can help explain this to me, because maybe I’m just naive.

But I haven’t seen any clear direction from a tactical perspective at all other than parking the bus and hoping a long ball or a cross from the other wing hits Aubamayeng and he can finish the one or two chances he gets.

Like what is the team trying to do when it has the ball?

I just see a whole bunch of square passes in the opponents half that amount to nothing.

I’ve read a ton about set piece work being done but we’re not scoring on those either.

So what are we doing other than just playing anti-football?

If somebody can help me out here I’d appreciate it.

I haven't played standard since the last time that Theros was in Standard, but has Constellation changed?

When I play Archon of Sun's Grace and then play multiple enchantments naturally, or have them enter from Yorion I'm only getting one trigger, and thus one Pegasus.

Am I just stupid and not understanding how constellation works now?

Hey, so I just jumped into Arena when the Mac client launched. Over the past few days I've been having network connection issues. They happen frequently when my opponent concedes a game, and then I'm stuck. Sometimes closing and reopening the client works

But...my opponent conceded game two just now and I got the disconnect. I closed the client and reopened it after the network disconnect. And was given this great screen...

I just kept seven cards but then when the game started I drew a Hydroid Krasis and it was the only card in my hand.

I rebooted the client and my opponent was on their turn three already?? What can I do to stop this, my connection is fine throughout all of this on my
