shootforit posted:Other people had told me the same thing. Didn’t think it would be that big of a deal. UltraPro has the license from Wizards to make sleeves with Magic branding on them. They're not very good sleeves because they get sticky with use over time and the printed image on the back of them gets scuffed up easily. I'm like the lone UltraPro apologist in this thread, but their only sleeves that are any good are the their Pro-Matte line, but the Eclipse sleeves are awful. The only reason anyone uses their cheap penny sleeves is as a means to sleeve up cards cheaply and to put them into a plastic top loader for shipping or for storage. You can use clear sleeves for your Magic cards, but you would need to make sure that every single card is in pristine condition to avoid getting called on for playing with marked cards. If you have any aspirations of playing in anything more than an FNM or Store Championship, you'd be put under so much scrutiny about it that you'd more or less be driven to use sleeves with an opaque back.

Does the city's blessing emblem often count as its own 10th permanent ?

Ultra Pro sleeves used to be the poo poo, I still have like 200 of them from around 2001 that I still use. What happened to them in the intervening years?

Other companies came around and now make a better sleeve. UltraPro has mostly done away with the dot on the front of their sleeves since 2017. It's still there, but it's now translucent instead of silver.

suicidesteve posted:The year I played vintage champs, my first round while we're waiting for the go ahead to start, the guy sitting diagonal from me had an anime playmat. At some point in the previous day, he was asked to not use it again after people complained. He showed up Sunday with it anyway, then told the judge who asked him about it that he hadn't been told anything about it. The judge who told him not to use it the day before was still there, informed the other judge what happened the previous day, and he was DQed for lying to a judge. feel good story of the year

Ultra Pro does make nice deck boxes though, I think I like the ones they make the most out of all the ones I've seen/used. As far as sleeves go, my Friday Night 30something draft buddies and I all swear by matte black dragon shields. Speaking of that, we're (finally) doing a limited tournament for Modern Horizons. Any good tips/tricks to know before I head in? We're not sure on numbers yet so we could either be doing Sealed or Draft, bo3 round-robin. axeil fucked around with this message at 05:26 on Jul 26, 2019 |

How do the last-chance trials at GPS award bye? Is it just flat-out byes, or is there a high enough PW point multiplier where going 4-0 would give you enough to get a bye. I thought I remembered it having something to do with points, but I may be remembering wrong.

I'm in Barcelona (only for the GP, unfortunately) and the hall is really nice, they've got the Pro Tour in a separate area of the same hall so you can go and watch. The hall is large enough that the two events don't really collide so it's cool that they did that. I hear that in the London the GP and the PT were strictly separate.

Silhouette posted:Someone take this to a GP and let me know how you do tia I've had a half-formed idea floating around in my head of an Esper Mill-ish variant that runs a bunch of extraction effects and kills with Kaya once the opponent runs out of playable cards. Something likr 4 Surgical 4 Extirpate 4 Unmoored Ego 3 Kaya 2-3 Ashiok Removal and discard GoutPatrol posted:Mill can absolutely beat Dredge with a good draw because you're playing 4-6 Surgical effects maindeck. Sometimes you just happen to help them win a turn earlier. Maybe I'm just out of practice but it sure feels like more of the latter than the former. Valakut decks have traditionally the only true slam dunk matchups, though I've fared better against both Mardu Pyro and Izzet Phoenix than I would have expected. Too many decks these days benefit from having cards in their graveyard. Other Mill players say Dredge is favorable but I must just suck at it because it feels bad, man. Been running a 3/1 Surgical split for a while and I'm wondering if I should just run all four maindeck with how graveyard-centric the format is.

Sorry for the double-post https://magic.wizards.com/en/events/coverage/2019MC4/mythic-championship-iv-day-1-metagame-breakdown-2019-07-26 836 copies of Leyline of the Void, 73 of which are maindeck! 747 copies of Faithless Looting 422 copies of Hogaak. 98 players on the deck, which is 21% of the field. This is alarming even with the typical WotC spin of hiding the damage by spreading it out. 17 more players are on Dredge (which may or may not have some numbers of Hogaak, according to the article) and 7 more players on "Hogaak Dredge".

two choices 1) hogaak ban incoming. one year later we do this again with the next broken GY deck 2) looting ban. children smile and spontaneously begin to dance through the meadows. polluted rivers run clear again, the branches of trees begin to fill with crisp, shiny apples. woodland creatures frolic through a glade and tarmogoyf emerges from his hidden burrow to the delight of all

Looting wouldn't stop hogaak at this point. If anything it would widen the gap between hogaak and the other graveyard decks, because hogaak relies on looting less than any of the others. Still feels like we've never gotten to look at a real meta post-mh1 because hogaak has everything so inbred.

Looting is irreplaceable in Hogaak and would instantly neuter the deck without literally killing it forever. All of the looting decks are bad for the format so I have absolutely no problem with just banning looting lmao.
