Probably one of the better Eldrazi mirror matche games so far. A lot of the previous ones were roller coasters but without much interesting play.

So is it looking like there won't be any sort of interesting announcement at all, or are they just saving it for later?

Well, tcgplayer low on eldrazi temple just passed $10. I know this because I listed my pair at $10 back when ogw was spoiled figuring I'd either sell them when they hyped up or I'd get to keep them and buy a fun cheap eldrazi deck if it wasn't exciting.

Competence on the battlefield is a myth. The side which screws up next to last wins, it's as simple as that.

JC had the right mana he just tapped incorrectly.

Ok so all of my lands are Reflecting Pools then and there's no consequences for tapping badly. Got it.

He just tapped it wrong to do it, he had the mana. That's why its just a warning. There was literally nothing LSV could have topdecked to win that game anyways.

People not being dicks and knowing what the opponent meant to do in x-wing finals is why I like the community there a lot better. :rolleyes: People make mistakes, whatever. I've let it go before for magic PTQs and GPs.

It's cool that colorless eldrazi broke the Pro Tour, but eats it in the mirror to the UR version, which will now win it all.

On the topic of ethics in competitive game play: I was already sitting at a lowly 1-1 in r3 at regionals yesterday and losing in game 2 to Jund for the 2nd time in 3 matches. I'm needing all the advantages I can get and my opponent says go. But then says "oh, wait" and wants to do something. Was I a dick for saying "look man I need all the chances I can get here and in competitive REL I am going to have to say 'you said go' and not let you do that"?

Not that it matters but I ended up losing anyway.

Do you think you're an rear end in a top hat? If you do, congratulations, you were an rear end in a top hat and lost anyway. If you don't, why are you asking us? If they didn't get any information, it doesn't matter.

Nah, gently caress that. Call it. You're in competitive play.

At GP Sea/Tac I wanted to counter a Vryn Wingmare, but automatically said OK before I thought about it (habit, I don't usually play Force of Will and was tapped out). I said, 'I really need to counter that' and looked to my opponent to see if he would let it happen. Obviously he didn't, and I knew he was right.

Fortunately I draw a City of Traitors and Snuck Emrakul in to eat his board, but still.

Aint no thing like me, 'cept me.
Our FNM doubled as a GPT last week, and I held myself to playing the wrong land a couple times (4-color sequencing is hard) because them's the rules. If you fill out a deck list, you have to be aware there are no take backs, and if people hold you to that, you can't get all pissy eyed about it.
