I pack an assortment of scented hand sanitizers in my Magic backpack for this reason.

Also for the reason that some loving kid at ym lgs kept wiping his snotty nose with his loving INDEX FINGER and then shuffling my cards after I fetched.

Didn't hear about the Fabiano story before but glad he got a temp ban. Friend played him at a GP before and we were sure he was cheating then too but only after the game and after my friend told us the story.

I love these (especially the Urza's one). One suggestion: If Redbubble allows, you could do the logo on the right front of the t-shirt, I think that'd look a lot like an actual company t-shirt.

Also, is Gitaxian Investments & Securities going to be available as a playmat later? Or does all the blue make it doubtful?

VV: Yeah that seems like an issue with thin text. I was thinking of the kinds of shirts that workers wear, with Big Al's as an obvious example. Shame abut Gitaxian too.

Inked already knocked back the Gitaxian one as a playmat, due to it being too close for comfort to WoTC intellectual property. Nice call on the positioning of the logos though, I'll see how flexibile the sizing and positioning is. Might lose some of the detail though, the text in the Urza's design is pretty thin.

Hey looking for a little help here. I used to have a pretty good grip on it, but the modern meta at my local store has exploded and I have no loving clue how to build or contort my sideboard now. I'm on mono-blue fish, and quite frankly I don't know what to do. Just last night, here were the decks I saw at the event:

meta posted:

Jund
Junk
Splinter Twin
Living End
Affinity
Amulet Bloom
Lantern Control
Jeskai Control
Grixis Delver
Infect
Burn
Naya Zoo
Bant zoo+retreat
Boggles
Jeskai Hexproof
Abzan Coco with Melira combo
B/W tokens
U/G Tron
R/G Tron
and another Merfolk deck


Like what the gently caress is my sideboard supposed to look like to handle this meta? Currently I am running:

maindeck posted:

4 x Aether Vial
4 x Spreading Seas
1 x Vapor Snag
4 x Cursecatcher
4 x Silvergill Adept
4 x Harbinger of Tides
4 x Lord of Atlantis
4 x Master of the Pearl Trident
4 x Merrow Reejerey
4 x Master of Waves
2 x Phantasmal Image
1 X Kira, Great Glass Spinner

20 x lands (mix of nonislands that produce U, Islands, and 4 mutavaults)

"sideboard posted:

4 x Hurkyl's Recall
2 x Spell Pierce
2 x Remand
2 x Spellskite
2 x Relic of Progenitus
2 x Vapor Snag
1 X Dismember

Should I add hibernation to the sideboard, or another card? Is fish just a bad deck in this metagame? What should I remove from the board? Should I instead cut the two Phantasmal Images from the main to move something from the board to the maindeck and thereby get 2 more sideboard slots? Now I'm not doing poorly, that past few nights I've gone 5-1, 4-2, and 3-2(which was my worst, still finished in packs though). However, I know there has to be something I can tweak here, but for the life of me, I have no idea.

You may play an additional land during each of your turns.

RG, Return a land you control to its owner's hand; Target creature gains trample until end of turn.

Yup, ♦ is just the colorless mana symbol confirmed.

Not really sure how expensive Filterland Expeditions will be. They're pretty much limited to being one-ofs in a few decks.

/\/\/\: There are 20 (BFZ ones number 1-25/45). We don't know what the others are. We don't even know if they will print the other Battlelands in Oath. They could put them in SOI and avoid giving 4 color decks even better mana since they don't like printing punishing cards for this kind of greed anymore. :(

It was originally a 3 set block. The change up happened in the middle of design time and they handed a half finished block over to development. :v:

I'm kinda annoyed that it's just the symbol for colourless mana. I liked there just being numbers for colourless. I guess who ever called the number in the circle becoming "any mana" is right.

I am still going to assume though that anything with a mana cost that specifically contains a ♦ symbol can only be paid with a ♦ and not coloured mana.

Well... duh? That's literally the entire point.

Also it makes perfect sense to make it a symbol and not a number. When you tap something that gives two of a colored mana, it's WW/UU/BB/RR/GG. Why wouldn't it also be the same for colorless?

Numbers in circles was "any mana" if it was in a cost and "colorless mana" if it was something produced. Now Tron lands should produce ♦/♦♦/♦♦♦ instead of {1}/{2}/{3} to enforce this distinction but can still pay for everything Tron does since costs are in "any mana" format.
