It loads your collection the first time you tab into it sorta slow, but everything else works as expected. It does. I still don't get how it can crash so much, this isn't Windows 98 application crashes really aren't normal or acceptable anymore. It happens to me roughly 3-4 times a week.

Matter Reshaper seems kindof awesome, especially in CoCo-style decks. Seems like you're getting a good amount of advantage when it dies.

The development section of MTGO's Wikipedia page is hilarious.jassi007 posted:It does. I still don't get how it can crash so much, this isn't Windows 98 application crashes really aren't normal or acceptable anymore. It happens to me roughly 3-4 times a week. I'm assuming the crashes are primarily related to memory leaks. Leaks occur when a program is coded poorly; when the memory that MTGO "borrows" from your computer system in order to store values and objects (life total and card objects etc) is not properly "returned" to the system, you're stuck with a bunch of memory that can't be freed. So it will continue filling up these blocks of memory until you don't have any to spare.

mcmagic posted:I've cast Blood Moon at least as many times as Karn... I also don't really think Moon is that great vs Tron. You have so many ways to deal with it. Crazy talk. The only way with Jund I could even think about beating tron was to TS forst turn, goyf second turn and windmill slam blood moon third turn then Fulminator flashing back Fulminator with K-command all day long until they died. But usually it went DUURRRRRR Karn, you lose Which was true but I would make them play that poo poo to the bitter end. I would sit there with no permanents in play and the cards being exiled from my hand every turn and make them find a card to win with just to piss them off. No scooping to Tron ever. gently caress Tron, ban urzas lands.

Actually I like eye in the new deck. Mostly because burn doesn't give a poo poo if you summon a giant fatty. All I have to do is count to 20. Just ban Karn and Emrakul. I hate those cards anyway.

I'm not sure who Thought-Knot Seer is good enough against where they aren't going to just play the problem card before you have 4 mana. (GR, anyway) Tron's gameplan is to sidestep card advantage by doing things that blank most of the opponent's deck, rather than actually winning a card advantage war.

I'm already making a stupid commander deck with nothing but a bajillion mana artifacts and every eldrazi made. It's going to be awful. I'm stoked. Commander is obviously New Kozilek.

If you have that great a draw you're winning cause of the mage and the TS as much as the moon. Jund is just never going to have a good matchup vs Tron though. That is just modern.

No. If the card has a mana symbol written anywhere on it thats not part of your commander's identity, you can't play it. A colorless commander deck can only include lands and true colorless cards.

At least Spellskite makes a little sense - it's a very good utility creature that can be played in just about any deck, and there's nothing you can really use as a replacement for it. Still dumb as hell, but at least I can kinda see where they're coming from if I tilt my head.

There's no real way to win at money while playing Magic. What I'm saying is make a cube.

lol, managed to win my first game with reality acid after a 15 minute game where at one point I accidentally enchanted one of my own lands (he conceded after I had him in a lock), and then lost the next two games because my turn 1 land game 2 was Azorius Chancery and game 3 I spreading seas'd the Azorius Chancery I used to cast it I think I'll stick to cardboard

I find it easiest to tap my mana, then cast the spell. This avoids stuff like targeting your own land when you're trying to tap it for mana. Believe me, I've killed my fare share of my own lands and skipped more than a few turns. One match of modern alone I managed to kill my own land with my Tec Edge Mine twice but it's pretty rare that I mess that stuff up anymore.

Some Numbers posted:It turns out when you have a product that literally prints money, you don't have to invest money into improving it. This is terribly shortsighted. MTGO could print at least ten times as much money with a good client. Look at Hearthstone, it's a huge moneymaker despite updating much less often than Magic. Wizards is sitting on a gold mine, but refuses to use any technology more advanced than a pick and a shovel to develop it.
