The Grand Prix Monopoly is Channel Fireball taking control of organizing all of them around the world.

LGS bathrooms. Some day maybe nerds will learn to:
1. Lift up the toilet seat
2. poo poo at home. I’m fairly certain there is at one person at my LGS that just comes there to poo poo. He seriously comes in, ties up the bathroom for 20 minutes leaving it absolutely reeking, and then plays magic.
3. Get toilet paper in to the toilet and paper towel in to the trash.

And maybe LGS employees and owners will learn what the hell cleaning supplies are. I wish they would take a lesson from McDonalds. Very rarely have I seen a bad bathroom there. Instead I usually end up walking in to bathrooms where I’m afraid I’ll catch a disease. One of the stores around here is so bad that I literally do not wash my hands there instead I make sure I have Purel/alcohol for my hands because I don’t think they have every washed the bathroom. I avoid it like the plague but sometimes you just have to go.

3. Core Sets

Would anybody be interested if I put together a Prince tournament? Rares and Mythic Rares only, Legacy ban list. Legacy Eldrazi get to keep most of their stuff, but almost all the other big archetypes get wrecked.

Edit: Getting that URL to parse is gross.

Just copy and paste it I guess http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?action=advanced&output=compact&rarity=|[M]|[R]&format=+[%22Legacy%22]

So combo, tempo, and control are completely dead in this format (which isn't any different from actual legacy tbh) aside from maybe Sneak and Show, the share of the format that currently belongs to 4 color Delver becomes 4 color Leovold, cuts the Brainstorms and adds more sweepers or something and that's the entire format alongside Eldrazi which loses uh, nothing? This sounds like an absolutely unplayable format.

Death and Taxes only loses 5 cards from the main (though they're the 2 best cards) and some extremely replaceable cards from the sideboard and Brainstorm is banned so that's cool. It sounds like a horrible format though. I assume basics are still allowed.

Edit: I missed Swords. Never mind.

Also whatever I'll play Even Midrangier The Format if you can rope other people into it.

What about Modern Prince instead?
5c Humans loses Ancient Ziggurat, Unclaimed Territory, and Aether Vial. Scapeshift loses Lightning Bolt, Search for Tomorrow, and Farseek. I'm not familiar enough with Tezzerator to know if losing Baubles and Sword of the Meek is crippling.

Edit: Nevermind, Tron seems to come out completely fine. Fuckin' Eldrazi. I'm dumb, Tronlands are uncommon??

I'm on the other side of the fence. I have some curled foils, yes, but almost all of those were ones I bought secondhand. Pretty much any foil I have that I opened from a pack or other product is still as flat as can be and has never had that issue-- not to any significant degree at least.

Maybe the air in my apartment is just really dry. I dunno.

Yeah, even my FTV foils that are notoriously garbage don't really curl in my house. But I also do my best to keep foils from curling by keeping them squished between other cards or in a deck box or something.
