Why can we not just have a vintage masters in paper with new cards close in power level but not functional reprints. Grey lotus - sac for 2 mana of any color. dual lands - fetchable dual pain lands pain moxes - deal a point of damage when they come into play. ancestral - make it 1U or pay life

^^ Haha what a loving scumbag, he deserves another 4 years for that post. Nissir posted:Might have missed it, but what were you rolling over delver decks with online? Trying to set up a quick clock and play around pyroclasm just was not effective. Once they get sundering titan or wurmcoil online you are pretty screwed. Game 2 I got stuck with 2 shattering sprees in my hand I couldn't cast because of a sundering titan. It felt incredibly hopeless. eSporks fucked around with this message at 05:35 on Oct 24, 2014 |

The DCI banlist page was way more fun when it listed the reason for each ban.

A big flaming stink posted:what did he do? Everyone he played against had the unfortunate luck of never getting any lands in their opening hand and having to mulligan a lot. Then when he got a match on camera people noticed he was actually peeking at the cards and shuffling non-lands to the top of his opponent's deck. I wonder if the next rules change will move things back to "you get to cut your own deck after your opponent shuffles it", the way it used to.

It's much easier to mark your own deck for a single cut (read: draw the card you want every game) than do what that guy was doing.

This image. Did he really get a four-year suspension? Did he NOT realize Bertoncheaty already ate through the DCI's patience for cheating? Edit: Also, I think I understand why Wizards didn't drag their feet on this punishment. Apparently internet bullies were threatening him and his girlfriend. A lot of people were ready to digitally lynch this rear end in a top hat before the DCI suspended him. I mean, people were ready to call his base to get the military to fire him.

He seems like exactly the kind of person who could move into a second career with Mike Long and the Bring the Fresh crew, now that he's retired from Magic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGPL3QJsv9A or maybe shuffling techniques and misdirection can translate into being a pick-up artist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSstwmpN_qY moravec fucked around with this message at 07:21 on Oct 24, 2014 |

The only appropriate level of seriousness about a FREAKING CARD GAME: Serious enough to only consider it worth playing if you can play in competitive events, but not so serious that you care about the integrity of said events.

lol where the gently caress does he get off comparing himself to 'the rapists murderers felons' of the world for being banned from competitive events for a trading card game for 4 years. I actually sympathized with him for being the unfortunate target of the worst aspects of internet detectivery and vigilantism but not anymore. What a dickbag.

The rule should be that if any player pile-shuffles a deck, the other player gets a cut. For example when I use Surgical Extraction sometimes I will shuffle their deck for them after I search it, then I let them cut.

I saw people threatening to call his higher-ups in the military to report him for some kind of fraud in the hopes it'd get him in trouble, which is over the line. Only Wizards should be handling his (Magic-related) punishment. I wonder if there'll be an official announcement in today's Mothership update, because the only word we have on this is a now deleted Facebook post.

So he's clearly admitting that he did it. 4 years seems right. No place for that poo poo in the game.

Chill la Chill posted:Odd that we didn't harass Alex in the same way and it's even become more of like a sitcom joke - that's Alex for ya! Or is it that unlike Alex this guy has an actual career and girlfriend to harass? My guess is that it was no fun to harass Alex because he acted like he was in on his own joke. The self-depreciation with his "Two Explores" handle, jokes about his suspension (which led to lengthening it, in fact), etc. made him kind of impervious to harassment because: A. It didn't seem like he would give a poo poo; B. There was basically nothing anyone could say to him that he didn't already say himself. I also think that the attitude towards cheaters is different today because of the situation with Alex. Players are tired of hearing reports of Alex cheating from literally every event he plays in, so they're hungry for justice against any cheaters.
