vOv posted:I dunno, I think that wearing a shirt that doesn't cover your armpits is pretty weird. Well some of us play magic and have arms worth showing off in a beater or a cut off shirt. Seriously though, someone already said he was a nice guy and with hair like that he is weird all over the place so what is so scandalous about his shirt?

En Fuego posted:Way to call a guy on looking unique. Go back to your hole. Sorry but I have to agree with Korak on this one. Good for him for being polite/smart but he still looks like an idiot. I think there should be a dress code as well. Last thing I want to see is half of someone's body (be it armpit, stomach, rear end) hanging out of their clothes when I'm playing MTG. Also people dressed like slobs at tournaments present a negative image of the MTG player base.

Samael posted:http://manadeprived.com/crouching-magus-hidden-strings  There are more consistent hidden strings dot decks out there right now. Watched Greg Hatch play it on stream a week or two ago and it just isn't as powerful as other decks I've seen abusing Hidden Strings. Just straight UW Heroic is better.Chapin-Finkel story tldr: Finkel knocks on the hotel door of Chapin and few other guys that had just played in the 96-97 PT Paris event. Finkel had been up gambling for money on mtg games. He zombies his way in, climbs into bed with one of the guys and curls up to pass out. It wasn't even his room.

Fingers McLongDong posted:Is the hate for edh because a lot of people like to drag games on to show off combos and cards, as opposed to going for kills? Yes. This. I don't necessarily hate the format, which is why I haven't just taken my decks apart. I hate the 2-hour circle jerk that the games always end up being. Everyone sits around being worthless until someone (me) dares to attack, then it becomes a game of everyone kill Steve because he's not using an infinite combo to kill people. I've seen a guy with enough damage to be lethal to any one player not attack when I was the only other one with creatures because he thought I'd attack him, even though he could kill me in 1 shot if I did. So I Wrathed and killed him with Commander damage. Scarletbrother: We're cool. Have you ever tried telling a preschooler you don't want to play with them? It's kinda like that. It turns into a game of how long you can listen to "come oooonnnnn" before you play or leave. Tl;dr: Nerds are the worst people.

Apparently a player at SCG Seattle lost a game 3 because his Delver sleeve wasn't opaque enough. That's twice in a month that someone lost a game due to "not opaque enough sleeves", and the first was in a Standard event where it really shouldn't have mattered.

It's a good reminder to use the check cards for your Delvers and Huntmasters. I really want to get a play-set altered to look cool but, that's so pricey.

Korak posted:Apparently a player at SCG Seattle lost a game 3 because his Delver sleeve wasn't opaque enough. I've noticed some of my lighter Ultrapro Matte sleeves, orange in particular, are pretty see-through. I can easily see the back of the cards if I look. I don't actually play any flip cards, so it doesn't matter, though. That's why almost all of my decks I actually play are in black. Plus it makes it a lot easier to switch cards between decks.

Korak posted:Sad part is he still would have got a game loss just like the Standard guy got. The guy yesterday might not have been penalized for his sleeves not being opaque enough. MTR 3.9 posted:The judge may disallow the card sleeves if he or she believes they are marked, worn, or otherwise in a condition or of a design that interferes with shuffling or game play. In the interest of efficiency, the judge may choose to delay any change of sleeves until the end of the match. You could theoretically play all clear sleeves as long as they are all indistinguishable and the back of your cards are as well. The judge yesterday could have made a mistake, or he could have assessed the penalty for other reasons. Ciprian Maricon fucked around with this message at 23:16 on Mar 16, 2014 |

Explanation of what happened for the game loss at SCG Seattle. Wow that was fast. steve a player at the GP in Australia got a game loss for his not opaque enough sleeves playing Standard just a few weeks ago. Player is a CFB guy and had the match won in hand sitting at 20 life. It was devestating for him and he ended up not cashing I think after almost going 10-0.

I need some deck advice once again. I'm playing the below deck and was thinking about removing 2 Satyr Firedancer, 1 Fanatic of Mogis, and 1 Chandra's Phoenix so that 1 can add 4 Firefist Striker. Someone else told me to cut the 4 Boros Reckoner but I feel like he is too strong to remove. Any input would be appreciated. Creatures (30) 4 Ash Zealot 4 Boros Reckoner 4 Burning-Tree Emissary 4 Chandra's Phoenix 4 Fanatic of Mogis 4 Foundry Street Denizen 4 Rakdos Cackler 2 Satyr Firedancer Spells (10) 4 Lightning Strike 4 Magma Jet 2 Shock Lands (20) 20 Mountain Sideboard (14) 2 Chandra, Pyromaster 4 Searing Blood 4 Skullcrack 4 Mizzium Mortars morning wood fucked around with this message at 01:00 on Mar 17, 2014 |

None of the venues in this area have sufficient AC to deal with the attendance they get. Not gonna deny that I look like a "train hopping club kid," but it's way better than sweating the whole day! Every event, I get a few people telling me they wished they'd thought of it.

I dont know that I wouldnt try cutting satyrs for 22 land and cut the two shocks for 2 chandra, pyromasters. If you get her out lategame she definitely solves your flooding/card advantage problems. Either way I dont think the satyrs will be taken advantage of enough with the small amount of burn youre running.
