The best 2 power creature is actually Young Pyromancer but all of the crying of people who hate blue cards would have you believe there isn't a playable red card in the history of magic.

Anyway I prob would argue that monastery mentor is a better blue creature. So YP is not even a top tier blue creature.

What happened in Pittsburgh?

Agentsythe would be better to ask but, among other things they forgot to leave room for people in the main event coming in with byes so they pushed their backup event off for like 4 hours after playing the first round. Side events pretty much just didn't happen and the ones that did were 4-5 hours late with no announcements that they were suddenly happening.

The best thing inquest ever did was what they called iron man magic. They put one copy of every card into 5 decks, filled them up with a ton of basic lands, and let things loose in a free for all. The killing blow was delivered by a severely pumped Camel that survived numerous pieces of removal over the course of the game.

What's the deal with gp and scg pricing vs payout. Especially the scg thing is rough when you look at total taken in vs payout but with these record attendance events something needs to change. I mean I get that you want to cover venue etc but when you consider that competitive magic is a non trivial product seller (wotc) and probably a primary driver for the secondary market in just suprised they can't up the prizes/hype. The EV is really rough not even considering travel or lodging. At least with my poker tourneys there is at least a chance for some of the optimism. Unlike the current situation of I need to top 8 this 700 person event to cover any trip that I can't drive to and crash at a buddies place.

Edit: I think scavenging ooze is my favorite 2/2 as it has a ton of random game vs graveyard shenanigans, incidental delve and snap hate, but most of all a high ceiling

With record attendance obviously the prizing isn't keeping people at home so why would they do this?

I seem to remember the guy cast the camel on his first turn. Camel had banding and immunity to damage by deserts. They should reprint it in eternal masters.

And just to clarify, each deck had one of every card that existed in magic at the time.

I feel like you could do this with magiccards.info's random function and a lot of sharpies/markers. For each draw, roll a D10, on <=4, roll the D10 again and 1-2 is plains, 3-4 is island, etc to hit your 40% lands, if the first D10 is >4, then use magiccards.info's random function and then write down that card on a post it. Searching your deck just lets you use the search function.

Apparently someone made a script for it in Cockatrice. Allegedly it works but takes like 5 minutes to load.

Mtgo has a format a little like this. You make a deck of all basic lands and then your vanguard momir vig vanguard. You discard a card and pay x to get a random creature with x Cmc. There is actually some pretty deep strategy involved.
