No, actual LSV lost to YellowHat because they were both fully loaded on board with no sac outlets. Gabe topdecks an Oven and you can watch LSV’s soul exit his body through his face, it owns

The four colours of Magic are in pretty good balance. I hope Party works out into a viable deck, because it'll almost certainly include white.

Just reprint Swords to Plowshares and that might be broken enough removal to keep Uro in check. Might.

paaaaack kraken a factory case of VIP packs, the box toppers laid out in order of opening per inner case. Imagine getting the 4 pulls on the left if you bought a single case of VIP packs. An earlier opening, pulled Goblin Guide + Lightning Greaves twice in a row from the same inner case, I'd hate the little bastard but he's also hidden a force of will before, so it's not always dire behind the guide.  also opened a box of japanese war of the spark, and boy do I wish those Lilis were swapped. the artwork on the anime planeswalkers is largely phenomenal, I really like a lot of them more than the fairly samey style most of the WotS planeswalkers have. A drat shame they never got english versions.

yeah, I really wouldn't mind the prevalence of stuff like brainstorm and lightning greaves and expedition map if it was simply "1 mythic + 1 other every time". That's how they should've done it in the first place and they'd also have avoided the whole false advertising controversy, but instead they get that AND set people up to get super hosed with meddling mage + phyrexian metamorph, or the infamous goblin guide + expedition map, or upscaled common/uncommon + tron land. though tron lands at least hold SOME value. edit: here's a fun little wrinkle. Sold a borderless foil to someone, it had been sleeved + toploadered right out of the pack. They messaged me saying that it had "been damaged in transit" and want to return it for a refund, claiming it was bent. I asked for a photo and they sent me one with it in a penny sleeve and beginning to pringle(not bent like if it got mangled in transit). Do I take the fall for this, or what? Not sure there was anything I could do beyond the sleeve + toploader to prevent a foil from curling. I honestly didn't think VIP borderless foils could pringle, none of the ones I still have from the first openings have curled even a little bit, so I figured they had fixed that poo poo.

A kind goon mailed me a card that was in double sleeved and put into a top loader, then it was taped between two pieces of cardboard and then that was put into a bubble mailer. The card basically cannot move in those conditions and it would be virtually impossible for it to be bent through the mail.

This is also the a very easy method of shipping and if I have the cardboard available, the one I always use.

He who buys foils buy pringles. It is known. Tell him to get bent.

If it's eBay, you're screwed because I'm pretty sure they're going to side with the buyer every time. If it's just a personal transaction from goons or facebook or something, tell them to get as bent as the foil -- they all pringle.

Staxx/Prison decks are just Tempo/Control decks that use permanents instead of instants, I don’t think of them as being their own thing.

It costs nothing to be reasonably nice and if you can't do that, it also costs nothing to just not reply.

The previous page or two did not address the user's question, even though it included some discussion of midrange. flatluigi posted:I know people are desperately trying to go 'these OTHER "shrieking baboons" are the terrible posters in this thread, not me' but to be clear what happened was that immediately after a conversation about 'how midrange sucks and is awful and i can't believe people wanted it to be back' someone did come in with what appeared to be an honest question, but when I asked for more information (because I was going to answer them honestly) they responded with calling midrange 'a new archetype' & that just felt like moving onto a shitpost in line with the bunch of shitposts that were already happening. it's not fun to spend time and energy on someone who just wanted to take a dump on the thread and move on, and this thread has had too many people do that over the months i've been reading it This is a paranoid and unreasonable stance to take based on the posts that had been made. Additionally, if you genuinely suspect someone of trolling, just report their post and move on. PleasantDirge posted:As soon as you catch me telling anyone to be nice, you have a point there doofus.

I think they're trying it simply because the manufacturer is offering it. Whenever someone else innovates they will at least experiment with taking advantage of it but I seriously doubt wotc is the driver of much of it.

Also wotc has just abandoned today's finals stream for the invitational due to technical difficulties that they couldn't resolve after 3 hours of delays. Yikes.

What a fitting end for an event with such a terrible stream, WotC needs to get their act together because it's pretty sad when the secondary language restreams have been sitting there for hours and someone like Jeff Hoogland can run a better tournament than you. https://twitter.com/MagicEsports/status/1305222614105747457 Looks like they're just going to record matches and show them later. moush fucked around with this message at 20:47 on Sep 13, 2020 |

Just amazing.
