SCG Open starts with a 75-card mirror match. What is the loving point.

It sounds like they have the stream going through their audio because it's what they're saying only 5-10 seconds delay. I think that soundmusic stuff was their intro? I don't know. This is fun to figure out while the players shuffle their necessary 5 minutes.

Korak posted:Sadly SCG usually puts on "name players" every round even if its going to be what is considered to a lot of people a boring matchup. I kinda wish they'd do more "These are some no-name chumps but the matchup should be interesting." type coverage. Last week there was some guy with Slivers we got to see and that was a pretty cool game. Even if he was playing one of their big-name players.

Archenteron posted:First FNM in a few weeks and especially since M15 just came out. Rolled out the Minotaurs deck (-3 swamps +3 Temples, -2 Fanatic (one in sideboard) +1 Slaughter Games That deck only has 20 lands. I appreciate that most of the deck is really cheap mana cost wise but did you not find yourself screwed for mana all the time (especially with 4 coming in tapped)? I'd love to hear your thoughts as I'd like to play somethimg similar

Dr. Clockwork posted:Edit: Another general poll to the crowd: Does your LGS allow you to bring your own packs to draft or sealed tournaments? Would you understand it if they didn't allow this? The store almost allowed people to bring their own packs again, but then people found out that box mapping could be done, so that practice is gone forever. You can take store credit instead of packs as your winnings if you want to use your prize as entry for the next draft you do, but once the packs leave the sight of the counter they're tainted. Plus it's a rule that even if a store allows people to bring their own packs, those packs need to be shuffled into the pool with the others.

My LGS is totally ok with people bringing in packs, but they do get shuffled into the pool with the rest of the packs, you certainly don't get to draft with your own packs guaranteed. Oddly prizes come in the form of packs or singles credit, with credit not being usable for future event entry fees.

My LGS is fine with people bringing their own packs to set up a casual draft and use their space for free, but to play in any sanctioned event where they provide prize support you need to buy the stuff from them. They'll also set up a sanctioned draft with prize support any time you get 8 people together for the same price as FNM draft ($12 with 1.5 prize packs per player). I see zero problems with requiring packs be bought from them since it's nice to have a place to play magical cards, so paying for drafts every week doesn't seem like a tremendous burden.

I love prize chat. Our store doesn't allow to bring packs for drafts, and credit received as prizes (prize pool is 2 packs per person, packs can be exchanged for $2.50 store credit) is not eligible for future event entry. My store is primarily a games shop, though, so saving up credit for a Dominion expansion or whatever if you don't want any singles is pretty great.

So weird rules chat, I feel sorta bad cause I may have been wrong even though I thought I was right, but in researching it's all muddy to me now. My opponent has a 3/3. I have a Rakdos Cackler unleashed with Madcap Skills on it (5/2, can't be blocked except by two or more creatures). He casts Polymorphist's Jest on me. Does that change the Cackler at all, since it's a 1/1 base anyway?

It should still keep the blocking restriction. Madcap skills doesn't grant the creature an ability, so there's no ability for polymorphist's jest to take away.

Got into the Magic panel and talked a little to one of the designers outside. (It hasn't started yet). Apparently it was a pain to get even Wrath of God into Annihilation because there's now an internal issue with the word "God" on a card. The Heliod thing was a compromise to get it in with that name.
