The way I heard on the SCG stream this weekend to do infinite scry is: demonstrate the loop where you scry through your deck, scry through your entire deck once with the infinite loop demo, so you don't have to actually go through the entire deck and also that you now know what order it is, then basically put the cards on top of the card you want on the bottom of the library in order, then you're set.

I always want someone to do this so I can ask them what their life total is afterwards. Better make sure the math checks out!

Hellsau posted:So I played the Pro Tour Gauntlet and got the R/W Eldrazi Goggles deck. I had played against it a few times. The deck is totally, unplayably bad and has no good matchups. The Season's Past deck might have some poor matchups and being bad against Company is probably unacceptable and losing to enemy lands is kind of dumb, but at least it beats other control decks. RW Eldrazi Goggles has a few removal spells, a six mana sweeper, and a bunch of air! How is that supposed to beat aggro? It's playing 6 spells that only burn creatures and 3 Fiery Tempers, with no real answer to enemy planeswalkers. How is that supposed to beat control? It's just horrible. After last week's FNM and Saturdays game day I'm put of love with Goggles. It's just not good. I want to kind of go back to UW Skies but I don't feel that it had much gas either.

Sestze posted:in a game entirely based around spending your hard earned dollaroos to participate, there's an expectation that you have enough money to spend on simply hygiene items. I mean, those things should end up higher on the list of "necessary poo poo to live", right? How am I supposed to afford 4 Archangel Avacyns AND deodorant?????? Can someone Paypal me money so I can pay rent and drive to GPs???

WOTC's Itchy & Scratchy money is such an rear end in a top hat idea I can't help but appreciate how much it works to gently caress the customer. Play Points aren't worthless at all, but they are functionally worthless if you don't have enough of them to enter a specific event because they don't combine with Event Tickets or product.

If you walk everywhere, put it in the bag you carry your magic poo poo in. If you have an illness that makes you loving reek, use the stuff anyway. We appreciate it.

I'm on vacation and popped in to an lgs on a whim to see if they had any deals or old stuff or whatever, and the people inside were certainly friendly and helpful, but the place loving stank. Way to fulfil the stereotype... Also that dude who is affronted by being asked to clean up ought to read up on the five geek social fallacies pronto.

Pucatrade: worth it? I don't want to be the guy with 100000 points if/when the site goes belly up. How quickly do you get the cards you're after? Should I get the uncommon/rate account upgrades? Are the prices pretty spot on? The alternative is buylist cards and use the cash to buy my wants, but there's a pretty big difference between buylist and retail. I'm guessing the appeal of pucatrade is that it gets rid of that inequality.

Keep in mind that the points are worth about 70 cent on the dollar and continuing to go down.

I try to keep my points fairly low though. I haven't felt the need to upgrade from the basic version for putting together standard decks.

It's a cool way to pick up pauper and cube cards but it can be slow to get staple cards and some ppl are real dickheads about condition. Nobody knows when the bottom is going to drop out though so don't keep many points in the bank.

$10-20 stuff usually gets shipped out at a reasonable rate. $40+ stuff can take quite a while since most people want to turn chaff to gold. Trying to get mine lower after trading a few bigger cards off but no one wants to send me Swords.

Puca also makes their money by selling points so they are strongly incentivized to devalue their currency. Enabling trades like that is a good idea but seems like a fundamentally unsustainable system.

Use pucatrade to get rid of chaff you won't miss, turn said chaff into a few decent playable cards before your points are worth nothing. Pucatrade's not going to last forever because of how poorly buyers and sellers are protected from one another and the method of monetization inherently makes each new purchase from them have less worth than the last.

Should I get the uncommon/rate account upgrades? Are the prices pretty spot on? Everyone is trying to turn their random junk into fetches/snapcasters/whatever. Expensive out-of-print staples take a long time to get but everything else moves very quickly. The most expensive stuff I've gotten from there is a playset of blood moons, which took ~3 weeks. I just built a pauper deck though and I got 95% of the cards right away. Upgrading your account is pretty much only good for getting foils and offering bounties instead of having to wait for someone to pick your name out of the other 100 people looking for stuff that's very in-demand. It's definitely better value than trade-ins if you're looking to turn your cards into other cards. I would be very careful about leaving a lot of points in it though, their economic model is not sustainable and it is going to implode some day unless they actually do something about inflation.
