Caleb Durward is great. Here's Caleb playing Modern Cheerios. Wizards can ban stuff in modern 5 weeks after the PT, right, not just standard stuff?

Part of me is hoping this is just preparation for a new format they're going to unveil shortly but outside of that it makes no sense why they're just basically forcing everyone to play standard if they want to play constructed magic at a major event

Who runs Eternal Weekend? How long before a 3rd party steps up to start organizing larger tournaments for modern and legacy? Scg is cutting back and I heard from a little birdie that their end goal may be to try to take over all the GP's. Tcgplayer is having their state championship tournaments in a few weeks but prize support looks terrible at most locations.

Cactrot posted:Does it really matter that much? It only relates to the PTQs on day 2 of a GP. It's another little move in a series of little moves that further limit the availability of big events for the formats people want to play in favor of the formats WotC wants people to play.

Turns out that when Standard isn't the format people want to play, WotC throws a fit and makes you want to play it. Or, tries and fails miserably while looking at their money pools lower whole centimeters.

Cactrot posted:Yeah I guess, but PPTQ/RPTQ's still exist and this isn't affecting them. Not yet at least. Dropping modern as a WMCQ format and making all day 2 events standard/limited only is not a small thing. All that needs to happen at this point is to cut the modern PPTQ season and the cycle will be complete. Its just a bizarre sequence of events considering the player base and what they want to play.

Guys if we make Standard and Limited the only competitive formats we sanction, then obviously people will play those formats!

Also "based on feedback we received", yea I'm sure. You're getting tons of feedback that people don't want to play the most popular format and don't want to bring lots of cards to a GP.

It's about as bad as Reddit, which most other companies use, so. Also looking at those old standard decks is making me really miss when the game was good. The permission control list made me shed a tear for what's been lost.

You want modern player s to buy packs Wotc.......its simple. The masterpieces are a step in the right direction......but lower the rarity....make getting a masterpiece/expedition the same chance as getting a mythic. Use the secondary market as your guide and actively select the modern legal cards that currently have the highest pricetag and put those as the master pieces. Done. Yes they will be like a year or so behind but whatever.....unless crazy stuff happens theyll still be valuable cards and players will actively want the new arts

Relative to a lot of people here I haven't been around in magic for very long, but when I see old decks and cards that are now considered broken or "design mistakes" I can't help but notice that they all seem cool as hell. Like I can see why affinity and skullclamp were horrible to deal with but they were still interesting and people remember them. It's not like we've gotten anything in return for powering down standard, they had to ban Emrakul and Copter but neither of them are really playable outside of standard.

For your information, Smuggler's Copter is incredibly good in Norin the Wary EDH.

If you go 3-0, 2-1, 2-1, 2-1, 1-2 for a 10-5 record, you only lose a dollar! Plus you don't need to go through the pesky chore of choosing which deck you'd like to play, they can just give you bad Reanimator five times in a row! Wouldn't you love to be going through a lot of effort to reanimate Shivan Dragon against a deck with 8 counterspells, 4 Man-o'-Wars, 3 Tradewind Riders and 2 Capsize?

For every 8 players, you get 800 points going in and only 580 coming out. That's a hefty 27.5% rake.

Hellsau posted:So on Magic Online, if your opponent casts Reanimate targeting Iona, and you respond with Containment Priest, the Iona gets exiled and the opponent loses no life. I found a Reddit post from seven months ago detailing this bug. This seems like an extremely noticeable bug, am I misinterpreting how Reanimate is worded or something? I'm reasonably certain that they should still lose 9 life. Just quoting myself from seven months ago because this bug isn't fixed yet.
