I just remembered that I have a date tomorrow night but I also want to play wizard poker. Any tips/tricks? I could possibly do a mrs. Doubt fire routine cuz there's a restaurant next door. drat I knew playing slow control decks would get the better of me one of these days.

Ok so I get the impression that what you guys are saying is to do mrs. Doubt fire but wear a wizard robe instead.

Make them come to the game store and watch every match you play. Edit: also, you wear the Mrs. doubtfire outfit, make your date wear the wizard robes. That should end well.

Whatever you do, if you're still playing when she tells you she wants to go to the club after dinner, be sure that you don't get the places mixed up when things get hot and heavy and she tells you to meet her in the club restroom.

I am now tempted to live blog this event. Problem is, byob won't really enjoy it unless there's anime involved so I might have to buy some anime sleeves and playmat to make it interesting.

Be sure to narrate each match in detail, explaining why you made the plays you made and why it's better than other plays, so she can understand how smart you are. Oh, and the game too I guess. Also, talk about all the different cards your opponent might have, so that when one comes forward you can go "ah hah!" Neg your opponent.

Is it too late to get some anime sleeves/ lands overnighted from ebay? You can also NEVER mention to your opponents enough that you are also on a date.

I will see what I can do. Will see if there's a local anime shop that has them. If this was back on the island I'd be able to get them easily. I would get anime titty islands but I might not draft blue so it might be a waste. I need to win to show my partner my utter domination of a children's card game. Also as a clarification I would like to say that I am not dating an anime or else that would make it much easier to put her on sleeves and playmats. I am not a high enough wizard level to be dating that russian model who is an anime or the Brazilian model who is also an anime. However she is white and v skinny so she at least has the color and proportions of an anime. Facial surgery can fix the rest but i can wait on that.

Whoa I forgot the pro tour is this weekend. I might have to stay home and furiously see what's winning so I can speculate on the right $1 cards instead!

I'm waiting for the strategy that CFB has used during their recent GPs of recording two matches per round and playing both to cover the break between rounds to catch on. There are only so many ultrapro commercials and lame 'top 5 most impactful cards' features I can take.

So thread, if you were you able to commentate on the Pro Tours for life, but had to: A) Shill for Ultra Pro in every division they're in, including their food B) Commentate with Sheldon Menery and play EDH with him all the time Which would you pick?

Entropic posted:There just weren't that many actual "enchantments matter" mechanics for them to interact with. In the block as-is, the only thing Enchantment Lands would even do is trigger constellation and die incidentally to enchantment removal. And constellation wasn't even in the first two sets of the block. I can imagine a block where Enchantment Lands make sense, but Theros isn't it, and wouldn't be without a major shakeup of the block's mechanics. I think they missed the opportunity to have enchantments with ETB effects and nothing else, to enable constellation/enchantment matters type mechanics. They sort of did it with the font cycle...

Having 11 lands by turn 11 of a game in draft is generally not a good sign. Having 11 lands by turn 11 of the next game is probably also not good. I think I need to change up my strategies because this one just isn't working out. Any suggestions that don't involve tearing off my own hands? I don't think I need them anymore.

It sounds like the problem is you're drawing more mana than you have a use for. You should play more 11 drops.
