“Can I get Oracle text for this card. It’s in karate.” Judges, let me know what infraction you would recommend to be handed out.

Hellsau posted:gold bordered reprints that ignore the reserve list It's going to be a pre-made cube, the finished product will be 360 cards for $100. Mostly cool-but-worthless commons, uncommons and rares/mythics, with some card like Lightning Bolt and a few value reprints tossed in. Basically the same amount and quality of reprints they put into an entire set of Commander decks. The boosters will only be available for magicfests, that's why it doesn't have a set name and CFB said they can only run events "while stocks last". The cube will be black border and only available at your LGS.

I've always been low key surprised they allow people to use cards with printings for languages they can't read in a game where text is extremely important.

I had someone call a judge on me like 20 years ago because I couldn’t quote verbatim the text on my German Anson Maddocks Llanowar Elves. The judge was visibly annoyed because the guy I was playing would always try to rules lawyer to get free wins.

Yeah that is definitely a stupid example of an rear end in a top hat. I just know people who are bad at interpreting their cards in english when they are able to look at and read them. I shudder at them having foreign ones

Had a guy flip a Korean Thing in the Ice and insist that my Bedlam Reveler got bounced because he didn't know the text of a card he was playing. It owned.

I have five Russian Stonehorn Dignitaries and only one English one. I don't know why. I think I picked up the commons and other bulk that someone didn't want when they cracked a box? So my Pauper deck has four Russian cards sleeved up and one English one in the deckbox, which is not legal for a tournament but who cares about that.

I thought they decided this is legal now as long as it’s really clear which cards are and are not in your 75. So, if your English one is unsleeved, or in a different sleeve, you’re okay.

There's a local kid who has a deck with a bunch of Japanese cards in it that he bought during a summer he actually spent in Japan. He actually had the common sense to print out English proxies and put them in different colored sleeves that he keeps in the deckbox, and whenever he plays a Japanese card he puts the English proxy on top of it.

Playing with foreign cards that are complicated in a tourney is a balls to the walls scumbag move. Like angle-shooting the Llanowar elf is bullshit, everyone knows what that does, but if you sit down across from me with a Chinese Citadel of Bolas or Fires of Invention you’re a trash bag.

Sometimes you just happen to already have non-English copies and don't wanna buy more  though intentionally going out of your way to play an unreadable deck makes you terrible and when you get owned it owns: Cactrot posted:Had a guy flip a Korean Thing in the Ice and insist that my Bedlam Reveler got bounced because he didn't know the text of a card he was playing.

sometimes foreign copies of cards are cheaper than the english versions so you have the actual card you can play with and a printed out version for reference

Man I really want to upgrade the Blue Green Crush deck for pioneer play but everything in those colors is crazy right now. I know it won't be an amazing deck so I'm not out to spend time of money but any upgrades I can think of like the mana or sideboard stuff is nuts. drat those colors for having fun and stupid strong cards.

ShaneB posted:How did that go BTW 2 for 2, got clapped by Bogles and Hardened Scales, but ran over Soul Flayer and some Dimir control pile. Deck seems strong and is a lot of fun. I’m going to copy Ross Merriam/the Grindcast boys and ditch the Ornithopter/Drum package and bring in interaction, Hangarbacks and that new colourless snake. Gingerbrute is a hell of a card.

I’m gonna agree that Mystery Boosters are likely some kind of cube in a box, which is why there’s a difference in how they’re sold for Magicfests vs LGS.

Mystery booster is actually Wizards introducing Historic to Paper and announcing that they actually intend for Arena to not be trashed by standard.

I have some foreign language cards in my commander decks simply because they were the more affordable options. But there's generally little question on what Mox Diamond, Vampiric/Enlightened Tutor do since they're so familiar. I do have a Japanese alternate-art Saheeli, Sublime Master as an Oathbreaker though, but I keep an English version in my box just in case people forget what she does.

Yawgmoth posted:I just assume that if you're playing foreign language cards you're trying to bullshit me on what it actually does. I think that they should be treated kind of like the flip card checklists; you have to have (at least) one English language version on hand and visible for your opponents to read when you play it. So foreign players with a deck in their native language should have to buy it all again in English?
