kizudarake posted:Well, a shitlord-filled semi-local store/minor online retailer Legitmtg.com, formerly known as The Lotus Guardian before they bought the brand from the previous owner, got burgled of all the cards in its display case a few days ago. FYI, LegitMTG was started by Jon Medina, the guy who used to write finance articles for SCG, was the original big speculator that's responsible for the current wave of speculators, and started the first pack to power series of articles where he showed people how to make extremely dishonest and lopsided trades to screw over people who don't know better. Also he cheated on his wife and made a big show of it with a public apology to the Magic community.

That's funny you mention the cheating on the wife and extremely dishonest trades that cause I checked his twitter to see if he had anything to say on the break in and it's actually full of #Christianity, bible quotes and general pro-Christian stuff.

So I just got a PC and installed MTGO immediately because I wanted to turn some virtual cardboard sideways. Turns out, MTGO misreads my screen's resolution or something, and the PLAY button on the lobby menu is always below the bottom edge of the screen. Always. I tried loving with the settings, but there are not settings. Holy poo poo.

C-Euro posted:What deck is this? Here is the Standard version of the deck. Fabiano's Modern version is U/W, run 4 Time Warps, 4 Temporal Mastery (and a bunch of Telling Time/Serum Visions to ensure the Miracle Trigger), and 4 Temporal Trespass for extra turn cards and Celestial Colonnades as the win condition. (No wrath effects which I think is a mistake, but yeah.) He got blown out by a turn 2 5/5 boggle game 1 and a Gaddock Teeg game 2 right before he was about to go infinite.

As long as he sent cards out on time at a reasonable price, and they were the grading level that he claimed they were, I think the store would have a good reputation.

Boco_T posted:I hate seeing Amulet Bloom on the stream. I hate it with my life. Agreed. I hate playing against it too, it's probably the least interactive deck in modern. Somewhat comparable to storm in legacy, but at least legacy has cards to minimize the risk of losing to storm so easily.

There's so many fun cards in legacy, it's sad it isn't supported more. We only scrounged up 5 players for legacy night last week and it's even 75 card proxy.

I think the thing about FoW that most people don't appreciate is that the cost to make it free turns it into a very 'fair' card IMO, and as you say with Brainstorm not legal it's difficult to counteract that loss of card advantage as quickly. Plus, if nothing else it would give Wizards a look at how a format with Force but no Brainstorm plays out, and how that could affect Legacy.

Please reprint and allow FOW in modern. I have extras of it that are sitting around unused. Also this means Jund/RUB control get better with thought seizes.

Is there a metagame breakdown yet? Interested to see how many Bloom players there are. I hope that if a ban is incoming the whole deck isn't killed off. It is my first actual foray into Modern, after the Pod ban stopped me building Melira Pod. Taking away Summer Bloom would slow the deck enough to stop the T2 pseudo-kill away but not kill it.

If they ban anything but summer bloom or Azusa, the deck is half dead. If they ban Azusa, they deck is even more swingy. Ban bloom, replace with explore.

Maybe Blood Dragon is Skred? That's a deck that generally will have Stormbreath Dragon and Blood Moon. I also see one copy of "White Blue Aggro" which I bet is the Hatebears deck that beat Owen on stream yesterday.

I think if you're setting out to tone down its explosiveness without outright killing the deck, Simian Spirit guide is a good target; that card is never going to do anything fair ever, and now you've cut off the turn one kill, and just generally slowed things down. Otherwise you could maybe target Hive Mind so it has to win through the red zone.

Banning SSG also significantly hurts the Fair And Interactive combo deck Grishoalbrand, which does reasonable things like win on T1 or T2 through the aid of SSG.

Amulet bloom runs, typically, 1 SSG, and it's easy to win T2 without it, whereas if bloom was banned, you could maybe see a T3 win off SSG in that environment. E: ban both so grishoalbrand is hosed too, job done. Unban bloodbraid.

Banning a card under the premise of hurting bloom but not killing it is silly. It's doable, but it's silly. I think you either blow the deck out of the water(by banning literally any key card) or leave it be.

If anything needs to lose key cards, it's affinity and Twin. Twin at 12.1 percent of the metagame and affinity at 10.4? That's almost a quarter of the field on day 2.
