Idle musings, how would y'all feel if in the new OP structure, whatever it may be, they gave exclusive promos as prizes/trophies? GP winners get (one, two, a sheet) of that year's winner promo, 2-8 get a different card, and another card set for worlds? Given that they're going to cheap out on it.

Feels a lot like judge promos, so, mostly irrelevant. Also like state champs? I remember the full art mutavault from something like this. The proliferation of alternate treatments, classic frame, two types of foilings, extended art, full art and all that has kind of shown me that adding yet another 'special' treatment is just not interesting any more.

They should stick to what people want imo: Large cash prizes and qualification for future events. If they ever got their head out of their asses they'd do what wsop or similar does and offer prizes that scale with the number of entrants and deal with the legal consequences.

I'm also shocked to learn player advocates in a company aren't the ones who actually run the place. It's still better than not having player advocates, so dumping on him doesn't seem fair.

Did the person who represented white in the Council of Colours ever undelete their Twitter?

Do we have a discord for hanging out and chatting while streaming drafts? It could be fun and educational to talk through picks and plays.

The goon magic discord linked in the OP has a small, but pretty active group of us really into limited. We'll often hang out and watch a draft or two, go over picks, ect.

w/ all the basic land Secret Lairs, wonder if we've reached the point yet where you could theoretically build an entire EDH deck out of SL cards. The mtg equivalent of ordering a gold gilded steak.

You absolutely could build multiple such decks. You could even do it without repeating basic land art in some cases. There are options for almost all color identities, including at least four ways to get a 5c commander.

Could you build one that's any good? No idea, that would require much more digging in than I've done. But you could do it.

Is there a comprehensive list of every SL card? I'm sure it could be done. You could even do a 5 color deck since all fetches and shocks have been made into a secret lair.

the MSCHF secret lair is out, it has no timer so it might truly be "limited" to some number. so probably get on that if you want it.

also played paper FNM last night. i went UW spirits and won 2 games. lost the first game to BU exploit zombies where he had the skeleton and basically kept reanimating it and i foolishly casted the katilda i had while not leaving mana open and it got exiled. played RB vampires and a WG aggro deck.. the game against WG lasted for an extremely long time though so that was the only game we finished..

cradle of safety is actually a pretty incredible card in this deck. only having to hold 2 mana to protect your creatures that have all the enchantments attached... and then you add another +1/+1 and also build up katilda is good value. unfortunate that i couldn't get hallowed haunting to go along with my deck.

There was a time in the email they sent out for it, November 28th at 9amPT

Also looks like they’re either not including or keeping “secret” the Battlefield Forge with the Plains sticker.

drat, now this has me thinking about what a Secret Lair Constructed format would look like. Probably not good, but it's at least a possible bad idea.

Also I hadn't been keeping up with what they'd been putting out so I missed Dan Frazier's exquisite interpretation of Gruul Signet the first time around:

You can get them for $95+tax on eBay from legit sellers. It's not a very valuable set.

Edit: Unless they're selling them with the box topper, which is probably another $20 value. Soooooo...
