Madmarker posted:So it is wrong to expect high-level competition had a venue where people explicitly gather to compete? Yes. There's a big difference between people who have done a little homework and the min-maxing it takes to compete in 8-4s on mtgo. I don't consider myself better than good but I win ~80% of my matches at store drafts against regulars who know what they're doing. Still scrubbed out in the first round of a top-8 draft in the PPTQ I did.

You scream in someone's face long and loud enough, they're gonna have to blink eventually. Guess Wizards blinked quite fast.

how many times have we had the [haphazard statement] -> [player outrage] -> [hastily-written half-concession] sequence play out over the last year or so? feels like it's been half a dozen.

Right, the proxy rule was incredibly harshly worded and the judge banning over Oath leaks was when Trick said spoilers are stealing, right?

I was just about to come in here and ask the same thing. You'd think that after it happening at least 3 times this year they'd think about their ideas a little longer. Then again it's Wotc so that'll never happen.

There's PPTQ introduction/changes, but that didn't go over super poorly, right? And that was probably a while ago now.
