New players farting love alternate win cons, and whenever they mill a good card they get hyphy as gently caress about it. Actually a lot of players get a little tilted at seeing one of's or good cards get milled, but so long as you don't get decked and lose from it, it's no different than those cards being in the bottom 15% of your deck.

You know what makes no sense? How SCG thinks they can still get 5 bucks a month from people for subscribing to their twitch channel when they only stream every once in a while nowadays.

Goran is a friend of mine and he was posting sketches he'd done for cards on FB yesterday. I was trying to figure out why the hell he was posting the sketch for Deceiver Exarch, when it hit me.

Substitute their chat with Something Awful vs 4chan and you'll see that it's actually a very good thing that they have to pay to chat imo.

patrick is really awesome (cedric too), I'd watch born of the gods limited if those two guys were doing the commentary. the fact that it's modern and that modern is great right now is even better. they should invest in some better lights for the venue though, it's really dark on the stream.

Irony Be My Shield posted:A black player made a run to the final of last week's Hearthstone tournament. The chat was full of racist vitriol for basically every second he was on-stream. Sticking to sub mode seems fairly sensible. This is almost understating it. It was a loving atrocity, and the Hearthstone community even defended it as being "just how the whole internet is" which is fairly bananas

So long story short, I piloted Naya Burn at modern states today to a 4th place victory. I learned that Abzan company (my only losses) is so annoying that I really need Path to Exile and Anger of the Gods in the sideboard. Otherwise, a fun experience, and easily my highest placement in a tournament ever!

Every time a female player is on camera or doing commentary for a competitive event, the chat instantly fills with stupid leading questions insinuating that they aren't worthy of being featured. Fortunately this is usually followed by a merciful round of timeouts, but it feels like the only difference between that and the racism incident is volume.
