You really think they'd reprint that at common again? I don't even remember it being played except maybe in janky brew decks when it was in standard. I guess it didn't fit in Caw-Blade so that was that. Preordain pretty much completely overshadowed it.

I was reading on Source about a manaless dredge decklist that runs some blue disruption like forces, misdirection, and handful of other cards that can stop RiP. Seemed like a good route to go.

Seemed like a good route to go. Yeah, but it doesn't help against Bojuka Bog into Vesuva which is what got him blown the gently caress out. Would've helped in game 2 since it was Crop Rotation into Bojuka after pitching his entire hand into Phantasmagorian.

Ponders are srs bidness. Game loss for Delver player when he's extremely far ahead because he may have accidentally combined cards / had them touching while checking out what he wanted to do. Both players have been jovial about the whole match so one of those brain slips when you've been playing magic all weekend.

Just got back from a GPT Phoenix and I got 3rd, which netted me 30 packs. Not bad considering I was playing a R/W burn deck I had literally built 2 days ago and had only gotten 1 FNM's worth of practice out of. I super lucked out, as I got into the 8th slot in Top 8 solely on tie-breakers, with like 10 other guys at the same record as me. I don't know how popular Mono-U still is, but I didn't play against any all day, and then suddenly the Top 8 was flooded with them. I beat the 1st seeded guy who was playing it, then lost in the semis to ANOTHER mono-U deck. The finals ended up being a mono-U mirror. I felt bad for my buddy, who also made the semis with me (we didn't play each other) but got a DQ because he kept a sideboard card in Game 1. Freaking Dark Betrayal against mono-U. I'm gonna give him poo poo about that forever.

Belcher is a tier 1 deck because you can take it to a tournament with a comedy sideboard and never have to worry about this. Some options: -All 15 kinds of 'togs -15 Islands -something involving 4 Storm Crows and 4 Force of Will -15 Relentless Rats -Some number of Uktabi Orangutans

Korak posted:Dark Betrayal too good against Nightveil. Hmm that's a DQ instead of just being a game loss? Swear I saw a pro player call a judge on himself a while back because he had a sideboarded card in his mainboard and he just received a game loss. Goon Judges come to our rescue. That's exactly what happened. I was sitting at Table 1 and he was at Table 3 and the judge was sitting between us. I didn't see what went down, but it sounded like my buddy was looking through his maindeck between games, the judge was watching him do it, he saw Dark Betrayal, took it out, but didn't say anything immediately. Judge goes, "Was that Dark Betrayal in your maindeck game 1?" Buddy explains what happened, but since he didn't tell the judge immediately he got the DQ. It's my friend's fault. I didn't ask him if he intentionally tried to cover it up, but he probably did. He had just won Game 1 and probably didn't want the potential loss. Even his opponent felt bad for him.

Is it me or is legacy not nearly as susceptible to the whole"OMG THIS DECK WON SOMETHING BUY 100 OF EVERY CARD IN IT!" thing that happens in Modern and to a lesser extent Standard? Like, I feel safe going to sleep and ordering some Posts tomorrow and not having them triple in price while I'm asleep. I guess it makes sense; Legacy is more of an investment, and most people don't already have the necessary land base like they do for modern, but I'm always surprised when a deck wins something and every card in it doesn't triple in price in 2 days. I didn't find any mono-G Post decks without Candelabra, not that I spent much time looking.

I'd say it has to do with Legacy being a much more mature format. Modern is young as hell, and standard is standard, so both formats can have a "new hotness" effect with a breakout deck. Even great decks in Legacy never really dominate unconditionally, it depends on the meta.

I'm going to bet that this is a reach, but how willing are you guys in loaning out cards on MODO? I'm just looking to smash with one standard deck, but I barely own anything since all I did was limited and deal everything back when done.

The reason is because legacy decks usually have "those cards" that cost $500 or so. Like you looked at that deck that had a candelabra and a tabernacle and said nevermind. Thats what everyone does. It isn't like looking at tin fists and going "ok well I've got an emrakul, I just need this $2 card!" and then it jumps to $10 because you and everyone else bought it. There is a much smaller subset of people who own legacy staples vs. people who own modern staples. If legacy players go "thats a fun deck!" and buy up a card equivalent to tin fists or disrupting shoal, it doesn't move the market much because there are way less people buying.

Yeah, that's a much better description than my half-awake sentence from last night. I might eventually get the Candelabras and Tabernacle, but it'll be a long time. I have everything else of value in that deck, so it'd still be cheaper than finishing Shardless BUG, although I wouldn't get any cards I could use anywhere else. I never really played any kind or organized Magic until recently. I pretty much started constructed in modern because I had no interest in getting into INN-RTR Standard and Legacy is a turn 1 format where everyone plays 10 Forces maindeck or loses*. So it always surprises me to see a deck do well and not have the cards immediately jump from junk rare to $10 and settle at $6 a few weeks later. *As it turns out, this is not true. I wish I had known that last year.

Doing another Cube draft with a much worse Naya aggro deck, still managed to 3-0. Watching my opponent Oust my Bloodbraid Elf with an active Domri Rade in play left me feeling almost bad for him. There is literally no worse use of that card that I can think of.

Of course, Dark Depths shot up a bunch recently (after it won something), and Imperial Recruiter just doubled after Painter placed highly a week or two ago. Which sucks, because I wanted to build Painter and had delayed buying the cheaper judge foil Recruiters.

Yeah, if he hadn't tried to hide it, he would have only gotten a game loss. Also, if you draw your opening hand, realize you didn't desideboard, and call a judge over before the game begins, the head judge has the option to downgrade it to a warning.
