Didn't Kibler tell a judge he was going to bathroom while his Eggs opponent kept going?

I played against an Eggs player once. The FBI still haven't found the body.

As such he couldn't hit the can without incurring a slow play infraction. I could swear I heard a story where some player got the okay from a judge to take a leak while his opponent kept comboing.

Bud, I feel you, but at the same time, this si the wrong thread for that. It's all anecdotes, bad card evaluation, bragging and salt in this thread. Speaking of which, I think Vampires will be a real deck this standard, on the backs of an army of life-linking vampires. I feel like it has been a while since we have had instant speed, repeatable token generation that gains you life Mastery of the Unseen.

I've never thought twice about an opponent refusing to cut or even doing it myself sometimes in limited.

Sestze posted:There was a loop with a non-zero percentage chance to fail that became small yet everpresent as the combo continued on. It required constant interaction with your opponent (shuffling away copies of second sunrise/faith's reward), and was almost impossible to disrupt post sideboard. Turns could take 20-30 minutes for the combo to go off and the established kill was either grapeshot (i have tracked that I played 30 or 40 spells up to this point, so you're dead), or the default win condition of pyrite spellbomb (eat 2 damage per loop completion). Lists often ran Banefire as opposed to Grapeshot since eggs was often able to generate 20-30 mana easy with Blooms and didn't rely on looping 20 spells (which, granted, wasn't too hard).

Probably just got confused by the Eggs talk, since that's also too long and has lots of loops.

I've had people angry at me that I just want to do a basic odds/evens roll of a die while they want the "high roll." Even though practically every other game starts with a coin toss. People think they have their fate in their hands if they get to touch the object that is variable I guess?

Telex posted:You should pick up the SoI intro deck for Black and/or Green (Black is Black/Red, Green is Green/Black, i personally think the Green one looks more fun but Black has Vampires so there's that) Thanks for the advice. I've narrowed down the intro decks based on art and a very basic understanding of how the decks might play out. I think the bottom 4 look the coolest.

Relevant excerpt from the Magic Tournament Rules: MTR 3.9 posted:At Competitive and Professional REL tournaments, players are required to shuffle their opponents’ decks after their owners have shuffled them. The Head Judge can require this at Regular REL tournaments as well. The only real difference in rules left between Competitive and Professional REL is that spectators can't stop matches at Professional to call a judge.

IIRC the Judge was allowed to cut the opponents deck in lieu of Kibler while he went to the bathroom.

Also if because of that and you had to resleeve the whole deck because you now have marked cards are you the one who is in trouble for delaying the game or are you supposed to remove a sleeve from a sideboard card? I know that was a real issue in other games which caused people to cut decks but not shuffle.

It's FNM so there are no consequences even for marked sleeves. I shuffle for regular rel games but not for funsies ones and usually only at the beginning of a game because my opponents love to pile shuffle every time. I usually won't after a fetch or whatever.

I shuffle against any grumpy overly serious spike I play at regular REL to tilt them as much as possible and because they are the #1 group of people I suspect as potential cheaters. People who knock my deck are overly generous, however. Even if I accidentally saw a card on top or bottom and assumed it would get cut away, you have to cover your rear end on that one, opponent.

Well if you know your top/bottom card your deck is hardly sufficiently randomized is it?

Everyone would have all the mandatory upgraded game losses if a cut didn't count in practice as a shuffle. The rules distinction between a 'shuffle' and a 'cut' is more or less long gone, so I'm guessing everybody doing policy has just decided that the deck is in a randomized state upon presentation, and you're taking an action that puts it in a randomized state, so I guess you can call that a shuffle. Just knocking a deck is probably what it's meant to discourage, and since there's no penalty for doing so all that's going to get you is a quick "hey, from now on, can you just cut your opponent's deck for me? Thanks." E4C85D38 fucked around with this message at 01:34 on Apr 13, 2016 |

I always pile shuffle before a game just to make sure I'm not missing any cards. That's the only advantage to pile shuffling.

That's the only advantage to pile shuffling. the other cool bit about pile shuffling is that if you see someone mana-weave in mostly casual game and they present their deck to you, you can do a special pile shuffle to send all of their lands to the bottom of the deck.
