Well I'm probably going to try to move them via pucatrade. The price isn't updated their yet, but when it does I'd like to ship them off.

I'm really curious how Puca pulls prices because it usually takes a few days for movements to happen.

Not to be a hater but cvm and boswell are not very accurate about board states / rules interactions as commentators.

This is way less appealing than cedric + craig was.

Some gems like saying a guy IoK's a land as the guy is literally discarding path to inquisition, languish would kill a goyf with 0 sorceries in either yard, etc.

It appears it was because the maindeck sleeves were more worn than the sideboard. Hoogs states the sleeves were brand new before the 15 rounds and he is being screwed by the sleeves makers and the judge.

I'm kind of okay with it because there's a lot you can say that clarifies it to enraged like "land throwing guy" or whatever. Plus y'know, having access to the opponent's decklist.

Mostly it's just funny though.

It has game against decks that can't handle big fat dudes in the air and is decent against affinity as token makers with buffs match up well with dorky dudes but not quite as good as b/w tokens. I haven't had the budget to play with archangel of thune or Auriok champion but I hear they are p hot sauce as champ blocks almost all the things from goblin guide to banana man and the angel makes everyone a pride mate.

Yes? I mean it's a Tier 2 deck, so you get what you get. But It can play a 6/6 lifelink flier on turn 2, and plays enough tokens to clog up the board.

It's best matchup is obviously burn. My guess is that it's worst matchup is Tron or Infect. But most decks have to respect the 2 turn 6/6 lifelink flier. Ajani's Pridemate can go toe to toe with a Goyf so Jund isn't completely awful.

Twin isn't actually a great matchup, sense most twin players aren't gonna try to combo off if you have a sister in play, and you need 2 if they go the pestermite route. Snapcasting a Bolt to kill your sister isn't too hard of a prequisite, and your deck runs out of gas mighty quick.

Yeah, naming the wrong card is a total fuckup on the player. You don't even need the exact name, as long as you name a uniquely identifiable card that's legal in the format. Even "that legendary guy with the discard a land ability" would probably have been fine, or just needed a Judge to clarify at worst. But not JUST "Borborygmos", cause that's also a legal card in the format.

Eh, both players knew which card he was referring to and only one of them knew the angle to exploit. Its legal and a little scummy all at the same time. I don't know if I could let myself play that angle just to win. To each their own.

A judge comes over.

Me: My opponent said Esper Charm targeting himself. Do you agree with that?
Him: Yes. I said Esper Charm targeting myself.

Opponent goes to draw two cards.

Me: You have to discard two cards. The only mode on Esper Charm that targets a player is “discard two cards.”

Probably the only negative thing I have ever heard about the guy.

It's slightly scummy, maybe, but it's still more of a misplay on his opponent's part. No reason he couldn't take 5 seconds and make sure he had it right before finalizing.

And the Phillips story is even less scummy. He gave his opponent at least three opportunities to re-read his card and check what he was trying to do, even called a Judge. How much more do you need to make you think "Hmmm, I might be loving up here".

Unless my 3am brain is being weird, "draw mode" is the correct one, since you choose modes before targets, and draw mode requires no target.

Pretty sure you can't make the wrong mode error on MTGO, for the reason I wrote above. You still can name the wrong card I guess?

You can't, it gives you a drop down menu of every possible mode and then individually says "pick player to discard" or something.
