TheKingofSprings posted:Do you actually need a playset of both? I thought it was more a 3/3 split card Actually no clue, I didn't play in the small stretch that card was being played. All I know is that they were 3 bucks, old, and if I didn't buy some they would be a lot more expensive. If that is the case I will simply trade the extra away while its still expensive and be happy.

I've heard you're meant to run one less sword than foundry, since you can combo with sword in your graveyard.

JerryLee posted:Didn't they have specific draft rules in place for Innistrad 1.0 to deal with exactly this situation? Looking to see whether a dude's drafted a DFC isn't a new problem, and as I recall you were explicitly permitted to see if someone had taken a DFC. Yeah it was a total BS DQ. Lots of salt on that one.

Know Your Nephilim! White has Glint Hawk, not Glint-Eye! Dune-Brood blue? Nope! Not true! It's Ink-*Treader* Nephilim, not "Submerged In Ink, Specifically Black Ink" Nephilim. Witch-Maw kind of rhymes with rickshaw, which begins with R, but it is not a rickshaw and therefore has no R. The only other Tiller is Spike Tiller, a green card, so obviously Yore-Tiller costs WUBR.

Bugsy posted:SOI drafts are going to work like ISD drafts right? Got to show the which DFC cards are in the pack when opening. On LR Marshall said when drafting paper you show which DFC cards you open to the table but you don't need to announce when you take them; however they need to go to the top of the pile in front of you regardless of pick order.

Sure you get your "bounce a manland, 2 Darksteel Citadels, make them discard 4 cards and kill their Glimmervoid EOT" Hurkyl's but you get more "oh well I'm dead if I don't blow this mid-combat. Also he's going to vomit all these cards back out this turn so I'm still dead next turn so I guess I just cast a 1U Fog" Hurkyl's. You really need multiples for it to be guaranteed to be good. Snapcaster Hurkyl's or Hurkyl's, wait a turn or 2 Hurkyl's again is usually good enough. It's also much better if you have Chalice of the Void. EOT Hurkyl's, Chalice on 0/1 is a giant beating.

mfcrocker posted:Well, Marshall's wrong. The requirements are as written in the MTR, quoted last page I kinda miss having Joe Bono on, as it was nice to have a Judge to make intricate rulings on the show. I know the three local stores I play at all revealed DFCs during ISD, so I assume they will do the same. It wouldn't surprise me if someone shows up trying to challenge it and referencing the MTR though.

TheTofuShop posted:I kinda miss having Joe Bono on, as it was nice to have a Judge to make intricate rulings on the show. The TO could make a rule that says that after each pick each player is required to pat their bellies and rub their heads simultaneously and it'd be fine—as long as it's done ahead of time, TOs have pretty wide discretion in filling in whatever the MTR doesn't address. (Any such things should technically be on a tournament fact sheet, but at a Regular REL event I don't expect that to happen and nobody's really going to care about it.)

There's really not much advantage to be gained by hiding your colors anyway, and probably some disadvantage.

The draft procedures say this: quote:Players choose one card from their current booster pack and then pass the remaining cards It seems mandatory to place the card on top of the pile, even if it's not mandatory to reveal the DFC.

Was there a change to the MTR since Origins? Because in Origins revealing DFCs was required and you weren't allowed to hide them. Which was kind of annoying - I asked on Judge Apps what the implications of this would be at a competitive level event and they just kind of brushed it off and said that those would be really rare and not to worry about it. Meanwhile I was slated to judge at a GPT that thankfully at the last minute switched from limited to Standard.

This is the version of the MTR that was effective with Origins, but I don't see any notable changes. http://wpn.wizards.com/sites/wpn/files/attachements/mtg_mtr_17jul15_en.pdf You weren't allowed to hide them then, you aren't allowed to hide them now (just plop them on top of your pile of picks), but nothing in policy either then or now requires affirmatively revealing them/announcing them to the table.

Was it Zvi during Torment that almost got in trouble for publicly announcing he was forcing White (a weak color) before drafts, so he had a tshirt made or something for the PT?

I remember the T-shirt story. It was him and at least one teammate. The shirts had the art of Teroh's Faithful, and the caption "And all the drafters say I'm pretty fly for a White guy." I didn't recall him actually getting in any trouble for it.
