It didn't feel good explaining that they couldn't play. I think new players these days are a little more savvy when they're signing up for even FNM-level events, but Wizards still needs to be careful about how players determine what's in Standard. maybe they could print some kind of reminder (text if there's not enough space for a symbol) of which standard set the supplemental product is concurrent with (for the purposes of standard legality) if I showed up at fnm this week, i'd have no idea what supplemental cards are legal if someone had them in their deck, and I read this thread near daily

So I'm traveling and hit up a store for FNM that I'd been to in the past. The players were okay last year, but none of them were present. They'd been replaced with the most neckbearded, mouth breathing idiots I've ever seen sign up for a paid event. During the event, I noticed my opponent had a lot of premium red and black removal. Which is weird because I was sitting to her right and was on black/white. She straight up says "oh yeah I drafted most of this last week." Call for a judge (store employee), explain what happened, and they say (paraphrased) "oh you can't do that. But we can't fix it now, so finish the game." How do you even address that level of idiocy in person?

I would start by telling the employee I want my money back or for them to give her a game loss, because that is some serious bullshit. If you pay money for an event, there should be some protection against blatant cheating.

I tried to get my money back, she said she wouldn't do that, and instead of fighting it further I gathered my stuff and left. Emailed wizards the name of the store and shrugged it off. No use crying over $15 to play wizard poker. Thing is, the way my opponent was acting I could honestly believe she didn't mean to cheat but was truly that oblivious/stupid. But after two murders and two lightning strikes you start being a bit curious and irate.

If you pay money for an event, there should be some protection against blatant cheating. Honestly, the whole draft is fubared at that point if players are bringing in outside cards. The draft portion gets screwed up, all of her previous games are null and void. It's too much of a cascading fuckup to fix with a game loss.

They'd been replaced with the most neckbearded, mouth breathing idiots I've ever seen sign up for a paid event. I mean, it's time to get your money back because if they're gonna let their opponent freeroll you with cards from outside their draft pool there's no real point in actually trying to play. I'd also avoid that store in the future if you travel to the area again, I guess. At this point the dude should be an auto-DQ, and while it's real unfortunate to anyone before you that didn't know this, that's no excuse for letting it continue NOW when you know. But it sounds like that's not the case so just leave, I guess. I mean, all you can really do is give a report and avoid it in the future. That's lovely but eh.

I'm not in love with the idea of multiplayer as a way to introduce new players to the game. Newbies should be learning how to play on-curve beaters, not politics and battlecruisers.

This card is going to get expensive. In most EDH games I've seen, it's a Veteran Explorer for less work. Lots of people are going to be interested in, "GG, 4/4 Trample, everyone who isn't playing a greedy 4 or 5 color decks gets 2 lands." Tainen posted:Guilds Buy a Box promo Nice 16/16.

I don't know if wizards factored it in, but I'd bet if you have a regular gaming group at least some of the members already know how to play magic.

There's going to be an "Against the odds" deck with this + Thud/Fling right?... (Ghalta is still probably better) edit: Anyways, it's going to be nice in Mimeoplasm EDH decks, simply due to being a 16/16, so that's cool. Buffis fucked around with this message at 13:32 on Aug 28, 2018 |

Jabor posted:or are we looking at another way-too-expensive-if-it's-actually-playable card? Fun fact, here in Europe, you can get Italian versions for 6eur (7$) on cardmarket. English language ones are twice that, but still not very expensive. No idea what's up with the US prices on it. ~30$ seems insane.
