They have always used the Vintage Masters art for the cube as long as I have been playing it. They usually use the newest edition symbol for each card.

No, someone just curates it to whatever version they like. They use old frame Allied Fetchlands, for example.

People have gotten so desperate to find legacy team members for the dallas open that people have offered to pay part of the admission to someone who has a legacy deck.

Should I play r/b reanimator despite only have played 20 total games of legacy?

Yeah I went to Catholic high school and had this religion teacher that would half-jokingly call me & my friends devil worshippers when he saw us playing and we'd leave cards like the original Unholy Strength with the pentagram on his classroom door.

These are amazing and should be the official card frames.

I was messing around in a solitaire game of MTGO last night just to see if I could crash the client with enough mana and I couldn't but things broke when I tried to draw some cards:



The client hung for about 30 seconds before restarting the game and then when I played lands they just disappeared. I was hoping I could really go nuts with Doubling Cube but it stopped working around 5k mana.

Am I reading this wrong, or did the game spontaneously turn into Commander?

I drafted a deck that I was hoping was going to be disruptive dudes carrying swords (e.g. Adanto Vanguard is in fact very good at whacking people with them), but instead of I ended with a loving Opposition deck. I hate being that guy but what ya gonna do.

No actually, talking about how we shouldn’t allow shithead misogynists, transphobes and neonazis into the game we play is about the game, and should be discussed in the thread, and attitudes like this are why they have such a foothold in the first place.

Also, Tamiyo, Venser, JTMS Glen Elendra Archmage and Frost Titan are also annoying even when you don't have Opposition.
