Would've been pretty awesome to see that Mono Green deck win on a mull to 4, really would've rather seen that deck move on. I missed the Round 1 coverage and just watched Adrian Sullivan's Round 1 matchup (UW Control vs. Esper Control) and with 10 minutes for game three both players were playing at a ridiculous pace. I don't think I've ever seen anyone playing magic that fast let alone two control players.

Just got back from a BOTG gameday tournament. Played Esper Control and ended up going 2-1-1 with my only loss being to one of my friends who won the tournament. Also I made the absolute dumbest mistake possible and will never do it again. On the match I lost I was sitting at 2 life my friend was at 14. I played a Jace and -2'd to get an Aetherling and play it as well but didn't leave a blue mana open (and still had several untapped lands). At the beginning of my friend's turn he played Hero's Downfall and I couldn't exile Aetherling because I had no blue mana. Aetherling died and I lost, and I had enough mana to make him unblockable/pump him 4x/exile. Would have won in two turns but in my excitement didn't pay attention to my mana. My friend told me after that he had nothing in his hand that would have beat Aetherling and I would have won had I been able to exile him.  tl;dr: Don't ever play an Aetherling if you don't have a free blue mana after casting him.

The original looks better.  In fairness normal Dissolve is kickin' rad and a good card, but still.

Interesting that the typesetting is different. I guess the way the Theros Dissolve is set is actually pretty awkward now that I look at it. Massive gutter to the right of the rules text, but the flavour text is crunched up against the border.

I think that has more to do with the promo being from Magic Online than the printed copy scanned.

Just wanted to mention I appreciated your summary because I like knowing what happens in the MTGO universe, but only if I can get through it in 10 minutes or less as I do not have the patience to read the ebook. It lets you appreciate the art and flavor text on many cards a lot more. Hope you do the next one as well.

Just make sure you have a friend with a jam box and the theme from rocky when you make t8 for your entrance. Bonus points for wearing boxing shorts and a robe and paying someone's grandpa from NYC to yell at you and hold a bucket for you to spit in while you sideboard. I'm not busting your balls/ovaries I just really want to do this and am going to t8 into a camera match on the 7th of never.

It's likely not an "official" Game Day - you probably won't get the Game Day multiplier to any Planeswalker Points earned, for example. But if they ended up with an extra playmat (perhaps because one of their planned Game Day events didn't get any players), about the only thing they can do with it is have another tournament where they can give it away as a prize.

Advanced stores that get 2 sets of materials are supposed to basically run them on March 1-2.

So seems like a big rules snafu brewing on the SCG stream. Commentators are acting like not sacrificing to Desecration Demon moves straight into Declare Attackers (and it was played like that, costing the mono-B player 6 points of damage), but both players actually get priority after the DD trigger resolves.

Maybe I misunderstand, but if the black player controlling the demon gets to declare attackers and his opponent did not sac a creature, why does he miss 6 points of damage? The demon should be untapped and able to swing right?

Madmarker posted:People hate on the good decks, especially if they are control. Haha so true. I get plenty of eyerolls at my LGS on turn 4ish when they figure out I'm playing Esper Control. To be fair though Mono-Blue Devotion is a good deck and it pisses me off to no end so I suppose I'm guilty of this too.

We're all assuming that he didn't miss his trigger, then go to the declare attackers step. If they moved to declare attackers, then he realized he missed the trigger, it would be too late to make Mutavault a creature. It would also be too late to tap the demon, since a missed trigger doesn't get put on the stack until a player would receive priority, and no one gets priority in the declare attackers step until attackers have already been declared.

They move to Start Combat, the Demon ability goes on the stack, then the active player gets priority. If the active player passes, the non-active player gets priority. Only if the non-active player passes does the topmost object of the stack (in our case, the Demon sac ability) resolve.
