I'm talking about limited, its an 8 drop with no ETB, blocks 1 creature, and doesn't have lifelink. Its a really good finisher but theres plenty of better limited cards in this format.

Its 30$ to enter and if you 4-0 you get like 34$ in packs and there are like 5 cards worth more than a dollar. I've gone 10-2 and barely broke even, its like a gp

Which, after reading, kinda makes me want to get back into Modern on MODO. And if you do sealed friendlies, even adding packs after every 3 matches, you are at positive EV at 55% (right now, due to pack costs). And you played magic for like 5-6 hours probably. But yeah if you are competitively drafting you really want to be like 60%+ https://www.goatbots.com/ev_calculator

What's the general trend for newly released cards on modo, do they go up or down in price. I've got a couple of cards worth something (like Azor's gateway) and not sure whether to offload them immediately or wait.

Typically, the first day or two of a pre-release on mtgo are a bonanza where it’s really easy to chain some events together with some luck. After that, it’s miserable. This time, they skipped the bonanza phase.

They have definitely made a public stance that if you are sex offender you are out of magic and that is going in the right direction.

They're going to find some other bad-faith angle to run with like scissors, until he fades away. "Wizard Poker Right Wing Culture Warrior" is his brand and he's doubling down. Maybe some insincere concern about labor conditions at the Magic Card Plant this time, IDK.

I’d look through his twitter but most of it was inane rambling last time Its pretty obvious that because he is a gigantic manbaby, he was attempting to do whatever he could to smear both WOTC and the judge program. He had some very vocal supporters from both groups that lead to his ban. He wanted to show that they were all hypocrites. Unfortunately he was right and it was much easier than it should have been. Yes, the judge program has some big issues with transparency and consistency. Yes, WOTC has issues being a professional organization with its actions and policies. Yes the fucker should have still been banned. The announcement today shows that the previous announcement just this week was partially wrong. They have not been banning these sexual offended as they have become known because hey, that would have been embarrassing and its better to keep it quiet right? Yes, they have quietly "fixed" the ban lists to show the players exposed by this nonsense but then refused to admit they were all missed.
