So I'm 5-2 at Hartford today playing for day 2. My opponent is at 4. I play a human to trigger my champion to 4/4. He cracks his fetch and starts looking through his deck shocked that he doesn't have any Mountains left to get and not have to shock himself. So he calls a judge and says he had 3 mountains on his decklist but only 2 in his actual deck, the third mountain was a Stomping Grounds instead. After like 15 mins the, the judges let him walk over to the draft tables, grab a mountain and put in his deck instead of the Stomping Grounds and lets him fetch it to bolt my Champion. He was dead on board at 1, he won the game cause he only had to go to 3. WTF.

This.

Also Bulky the life counter you are using is worth more than $50 iirc. A lot of old magic memorabilia like the reaper life counters are worth silly amounts of money compared to what they cost back in the day. The original tan parchment looking playmats are worth north of $300 usually

Goons have a pet theory that the worst poster in the thread got knocked out of Day 2 because:
  • His opponent deliberately registered a decklist that didn't match his actual deck.
  • His opponent then deliberately played 7 rounds of magic assuming he'd never get deck checked and be caught.
  • His opponent got into the exact situation on his win-and-in for Day 2 that necessitated the correct card from his registered decklist.
  • His opponent then judge called himself, assuming that he'd shark the judges and only get a warning.
  • The judges then applied the exact punishment listed in the APG, a warning and a card replacement.
  • This was all a clever ruse and the opponent was left twirling his mustache as our hero shitposting goon went home to cry on the internet.

Or, alternatively, mcmagic is a big whiny baby who doesn't understand how tournament magic works and tried to work everyone up with his sob story because he got beat.

Listen man, I don't agree with McMagic's opinions most times, but you seem super invested in reveling in his misfortune. In addition to your list, the opponent proceeded to register the exact decklist the second day to continue intentionally deceive and lie.

So, like put him on ignore or something, but the situation itself is a lovely one, regardless of the poster.

It's kind of hard to do for some reason. You have to click Lands, then type the land name into the search box, then click Reset. That's the ONLY way I've been able to get the full-art and alternate Basics to even show up.

The only thing about McMagic's magic posting that is bad are his ellipses.

Weird. I know it's insanely fiddly, like to the point where I think that for some reason WOTC actively don't want people using alternate land arts. I'll fire it up later and see if I can give a more detailed explanation because I know it took me about 30 minutes to get it to work.

edit: Did you try clicking various combinations of "Owned" and "Unowned" both before and after clicking Reset? I think that might be required.

Mox is meh af. Probably not a 4 of in anything.

Karn’s difficultly to remove and ability to slot into any deck mean that $30 is potentially a fair price for him.

As far as I can tell, Mox Amber’s price is pure speculation and hype because it’s another Mox as it doesn’t seem super strong in any current shell.

I think the price is more likely to drop than anything.

If it's played, it's as a 4 of but it probably won't be played widely other than it decks that are built specifically for it. I have no idea how to judge Karn but IF it's as good as people like Sullivan says it is, it's going to be 50+ bucks.
