Well I was more establishing the point that this stuff is moving really quickly in light of recent events more than making fun of someone's inability to look at tweets. That said if you look at the cases with what's presented main difference seems to be who champions the players being accused. A lot of well-known personalities are defending Boetccher which while it might seem inaccurate has a nonzero impact on how people process what evidence is presented.

Entropic posted:The DCI ban list is weird. There are multiple people with bans that last until 2049 or 2055 or 2099. Are those supposed to be lifetime bans and they're just inconsistent in how they enter them? Then there's also people banned until 9999-12-31 Heh look at wizards being optimistic that their game will last until TYOOL 9999

Wizards of the Coast believes in the age of digital spiritualism and want to offer these poor souls a chance of repentance in the year 10,000 with their cyborg bodies.

The thieves have already been banned from every store in Earth, Mars, and the rest of United Sol System. Their only safe harbour is Magic Online. The draft (Return To Return To Return To Ravnica 2: Eclectic Boogaloo: The Revenge flashback draft) goes well, onto game 1. At turn 3, they time out, and file a reimbursement report to Wizards. The promise is that all the issues will be fixed in the next version, and they get their tickets back. A tear rolls down the man's face, hiding in the corners of his smile.

Honestly at big tournaments they should just have judges/3rd party shufflers shuffling decks. Seems like it would avoid the problem entirely with little disruption.

I believe you can ask a Judge to shuffle a deck, but I'm not sure how common a practice it is and/or the RELs at which it's possible.

For... every game in every round and every shuffle? I crack a fetch... JUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDGE. The shuffle rules assume people aren't twits because when people are twits magic isn't fun to play. However, as it turns out, magic players, well...

My first round opponent at the only GP I've been to (Miami) asked a judge to shuffle his deck every time he needed it, and they had no problem. He had some sort of hand condition that presumably made it hard to do on his own.

If everyone asks a judge to do it events are going to need a lot of judges.

So on non-cheaty talk, how do you all decide what deck to take to events? There is an IQ coming up next weekend in modern format and the prizes are pretty good. Prize Payout: 1st - $400, Modern Masters Booster Box, Qualification for a StarCityGames.com Invitational, 6 Points, IQ Playmat, Top 8 Pin 2nd - $200, Modern Master Booster Box, Qualification for a StarCityGames.com Invitational, 5 Points, IQ Playmat, Top 8 Pin 3rd-4th - $100, 1/2 Khans Booster Box, IQ Playmat, Top 8 Pin 5th-8th - $50, 1/4 Khans Booster Box, IQ Playmat, Top 8 Pin 9th-12th - 1/4 Khans Booster Box, IQ Playmat 13th-16th - 1/4 Khans Booster Box, Dice Bag I have 4 decks, affinity, GR Tron, UR Delver, and Burn. I have played affinity the longest, tron 2nd, burn a bit (mostly as a test deck) and delver I just jumped on the treasure cruise bandwagon to see what it is all about. My favorite deck, independant of a meta is Tron. I honestly don't know what I should play, but I really would like to do well in this event.

Zoness posted:The case in point is that it's possible to accidentally shuffle in a shady-looking way and that's why punitive measures for cheaters are hard to deal out fairly and efficiently. I agree that the 2:35 shuffle looks pretty bad, but it's also somewhat plausible, and realistically a LOT of people have awful shuffling habits.

Red reanimator is a strange thing, but here it is! I'm surprised it doesn't exile the creature. Edit: I saw these pop up on Facebook, but apparently they're from this coming Monday's DailyMTG update that got posted early.

It's an amazing example of a good color pie bleed.BJPaskoff posted:Red reanimator is a strange thing, but here it is! I'm surprised it doesn't exile the creature. I was surprised too, but they're clearly trying to make it more analogous to Twinflame-type effects than to Shallow Grave ones, even if in practice it ends up evoking the latter quite closely as well.

Could that go into the control slaver vintage decks? Can get back any artifact by grabbing a dead welder and having it weld itself. Or target Myr Battlesphere in the yard over and over to get a ton of Myr tokens into play. Dying to both bolt and decay seems bad, but to my somewhat vintage ignorant self there seems to be some potential.
