I'd have drafted the Goyf and after losing to Burst Lightning, torn it in half on camera.

I believe that also gets you an auto-loss game 1 of every match if you had it in your mainboard, so it's like three times as lovely.

Auto-loss of game 1 in every match after I've been eliminated in Top8? THE loving HORROR Now I remember why I dumpstered this thread.

Everyone jumping on the apology train now. First Huey, then Owen. Of course, in typical Owen fashion, he's only sorry if his words were "too strong".Owen Turtenwald posted:In hindsight, I realize the strength of my response and word choice regarding goyfgate was out of line, and for that I sincerely apologize. I feel bad that Pascal feels the need to donate half the Goyf to charity. The guy basically admitted he's broke, he's making an act of contrition for doing nothing wrong.

I'm loving SCG's articles today. Not one, but TWO articles asking some of its regular contributors whether or not they would've taken the foil Goyf. All four of them said they would have. Todd Anderson posted:As long as the payouts for Grand Prix continue to be so low, I see no reason not to take a card worth so much money, regardless of how high the pressure in the given situation. While not taking Burst Lightning over the foil Tarmogoyf decreases your overall chances of winning by a few percentage points, I'm not sure those percentage points are worth more than the $350 price tag. Add to that the nostalgic value from taking such an iconic card, since opening a foil Tarmogoyf is basically the whole point of having it in the set, and I think the choice is pretty easy. Brad Nelson posted:I am a terrible drafter, and I would most likely not have made Day Two of the Grand Prix. I would probably be indulging in one of the amazing shows in Las Vegas like Cirque de Soleil or playing Pai Gow with some friends around that time on Sunday. Since I would not be in that situation myself, I don't believe that I'm in any position to decide whether Pascal was correct to take the money or not. I guess I will just trust the actions of someone that was deserving of being in that position to make the correct decision for themselves instead of projecting my own wants and needs on another individual. CVM posted:If you were to put me in Pascal's shoes at that exact moment. After playing for that long, through that many players. With the camera over my shoulder and all the lights and people around and only 90 seconds (or however long they had for the pick) to make my decision, I would have asked myself the same question that Pascal posted in his FB response. Jim Davis posted:Luis Scott-Vargas had no real reason to play his last few rounds of Pro Tour San Diego 2010 other than to dream crush some people on his way to the first 16-0 in Pro Tour history. Was there a real purpose to that? Was being 16-0 any different than 14-0-2 or 14-1-1? Of course not, but it's an awesome story and one of the finer points on his impressive resume'. I like how Nelson's and Davis' answers are not-so-subtle jabs at CFB pros criticizing Pascal.

No one cares about foils online. The only reason regular set foils retain value online is redemption.

Foils in non-redeemable sets are sometimes less valued because they look dumb in the client and annoy people. The inflation on foils online only really exists because of foil-redemption.

Even though the 10000 dollar bid is getting cancelled it is probably the only foil goyf in existance with an official top 8 GP stamp on it and it has a great story behind it. If any magic card in existence is collectable it's this one.

I love playing ugly or mismatched cards in paper decks. My amulet bloom has a 9th, 6th, portal, and visions summer bloom, and when we get the new serum visions, I'm running a 2/2 mix. One pact of negation I have is from mm, and one is from future sight.
