the cards are already in MODO, wouldn't they just have to add them to the legal in modern table or whatever?

IIRC they literally cannot because the MODO ban list is entirely informed by Gatherer's content.

Another reason why player rewards were the best thing ever and WOTC are morons. There is a player rewards mana tithe and its loving glorious. Player rewards should be the next thing they do to return their long lost honor.

No, I'm pretty sure whenever there is an unbanning they need to delete all instance of the card and recreate it from scratch.

Textless cards were dumb and they made sure everyone realized exactly how dumb they were by making one of them fuckin' Cryptic Command of all things.

Except for the Day of Judgment one. That one's cool. If you're gonna do any textless cards at all, they should be the most straightforward possible cards with like 3 words of rules text total.

Was it Bit Blast? I'm pretty sure that was printed in full art.

That's why I don't have full art or foreign cards in my cube. As much as I'd like to have one of my full art Cryptics in there, it's not worth the hassle. Plus LOR foil Cryptic is still pretty cool. The only exception is a Korean Cradle which I have an English proxy of anyway.

A pile of tarmogoyfs with a single lightning bolt, imo.

Also regarding banned cards on mtgo, a reminder that numerous cards have been soft banned in formats in the past. Kind of speaks to hard banning them being inexplicably complicated.

Yeah I know that was why I thought it was so dumb, whiny (bad) players have this weird aversion to anything that can be looped indefinitely.

:qq: Yeah we both win the game next turn but since you had to loop an action your wincon is 'cheap'. :qq:

Also he immediately said "you might as well concede now" once he cheated that thing out against a deck that plays Fiend Hunter, 4 Collected Company, and 4 Chord.

How did he cheat out emrakul on turn 3?

The cool and good way to get emrakul out involves it having haste and swinging on that turn 3. I'm assuming he was a polymorph deck?

I must get lucky. Most people have been really chill, but most people have also been horrible players.

I'm lucky to test against a decent deck. I have seen too many white servo based token decks, and it's always, "you run too many board wipes for me."
