Entropic posted:Does the Cowardice bug on MODO still work and did anyone ever confirm if it's because the card has 'dice' in its name? I want to know so bad. I'm enthralled by the possibilities of just how terrible MTGO's code might really be. This is super late but my guess is that it's the only card with 'rdice' in its name or text, that's the name of something related to rolling dice, and that modo reads and tries to execute text that it shouldn't

I'm not going to read any of that because I don't care about the perception of that one random dude, but MTG has had a toxic community for a long time, especially when it comes to bizzaro hero worship/enemy hate on the Pro Tour scene.

A quick reminder that judges are not in a court of law and treat it as such; our rough rule of thumb for issuing Cheating is "more sure than not" rather than incontrovertible proof. Sure, this means we sometimes DQ folks making honest mistakes, but

Rules questions: Quicksilver fountain: if the board is all islands + a hallowed fountain, will the end step trigger clear the flood counters? I'm not certain if the ability is looking for sub-type island or Island name. If you flood a darksteeel citadel does it lose the artifact super type? If you flood a legendary land and the controller has another island play, does the legendary one get sacced or do there need to be two legendary lands turned into islands?

Molybdenum posted:Rules questions: Trigger looks for Island subtype, so it'll clear 'em. Yes, still an artifact. They're still called what they're called, they're just Legendary Land - Island. Non-basic, but retaining supertypes such as artifact if there's a Mycosynth Lattice or whatever.

Just a reminder to never ever spreading seas a legendary land. Specifically because they can just play another one and then you lose islandwalk.

Rinkles posted:So that's bad news for stores? Only for stores that had success with trials. Some stores in my area had a lot of success with them despite byes hardly ever being a relevant prize for most players. There may have been a downward shift once they made them regular rel though. It does seem that all 3 days of a GP are more relevant though.

I think the store GPTs could have been a problem if too many stores did them, leading to too many people getting byes, and they don't want that. On the other hand, I've also won GPTs and never went to any of the GPs. Very, very few people would be willing to travel outside of the country to go to a GP. Taiwan gets a GP every other year, so unless you have the money to burn to travel around to Japan and around a few ASEAN countries, you are SOL for big tournaments besides the WMCQs and PTQs. That's why there are only 2-3 Taiwanese players on the Pro Tour. What is the difference between a WMCQ and Nationals? Aren't they really the same thing?

If GPT's allowed gave you a free future bye of your choosing it would be fine. The problem was that holding a GPT in my area (texas) for a GP a thousand miles away didn't make sense. The old PTQ's on sunday is a big deal though. Each one can be considered a pretty major tournament on its own right. That means each GP weekend is going to be 2 big tournaments. Lets hope these PTQ's aren't all loving standard or some stupid poo poo.

Uh oh "these events will be first come, first served and will have a maximum capacity of 225. We encourage anyone interested in signing up to do so as soon as they're committed to playing." The PTQ's have a fine print.

 These are going to make GPs a huge hit for local stores more than they already do. GPTs were never that big but now you'll get 2-3x the amount of money-saving that always occurs for 2-3 months before a huge GP that takes away from store revenue.
