So, I've been trying to find the combined life counter Rebecca Guay art one, or maybe something in metal, I remember those being really common back then, but now they're incredibly hard to find. The only one I could find is this Ebay listing but it's slightly on the expensive side. So I started to see if there are comparable metal ones.... Then these (nsfw) came up -____-

On that note, any recommendations for a metal life counter that tracks both player's hp on 1 plate?

Actually you may find that "being lovely" does not give you leeway to treat someone however you feel like without consequences. Their own dumb asses got themselves banned

As I recall, these guys left a paper trail of being assholes not only to EFro, but also to a lot of other people who played in the same places. If you don't want to get banned, don't be an enormous rear end in a top hat to everyone whose appearance you dislike.

e: yeah, there's a thread here w/ commentary from EFro himself about it. Dude went so far as to create fake facebook profiles to pretend Froehlich was the one doing the harassment rather than the other way around.

I mean, it contributes that EFro is a toxic shitlord, but even on its own merits his article loving sucks. It's telling enough that the exchange he clearly implies he was looking for ("I'll get it back to you in the future if you concede to me") would have gotten him DQ'd if he vocalized it to his opponent.

EFro essentially wanted a stranger to risk the top seed and jam someone else (who didn't happen to be seated across from him) because he's EFro and thinks he's special. I don't know how the guy that would have finished 9th had this happened would have felt about EFro beating him without actually playing a game by pulling the "I'm a hall of famer" card, but I can loving guess.

I really like this

This card is very solid for colorless or mono-green EDH decks. It's no Phyrexian Arena, but if you're not playing black or blue and have plenty of mana, paying 2 each turn to draw an extra card is more than reasonable. And if you don't have the mana on a given turn you can store them up. The tutor is simply gravy.

Did any of you guys arguing that EFro was in the wrong actually read up on the situation? The people in question were sending fake facebook messages impersonating the guy, had their own private group about trying to publicly harass him, and started harassing his girlfriend (now wife) because of her relation to him.

They deserved to get banned, because they are fantastically lovely people even by Magic's low standards.

It seems a lot more reasonable to argue that players have a right to act like dickwads with impunity because Efro has negative social skills.

Yea, seriously. I guess we can tell who the unsympathetic assholes are, because an organized harassment campaign is indefensible. Even though efro is a dick.

Sorry the core of your post got buried by your defense of a bunch of other shitlords stirring up trouble for that particular shitlord on facebook. Your trying to defend the idea that two wrongs make a right and seem upset that everyone doesn't agree.

It will see Modern play once Eye of Ugin gets banned, like most other good Modern cards.
