Reasonable precaution includes not going into an enclosed space where you'll be huffing each other's farts for four hours when we don't have near maximum vaccine uptake and there is a new variant spreading like wildfire btw

In a lot of places, Philadelphia included, COVID case numbers are higher than they've ever been right now. My county is going through an omicron surge and despite being vaxxed I'm still not going to my lgs for magic.

It is 100% not safe to play paper Magic for the foreseeable future and "I am allowed to do what I want" is maybe the dumbest and most selfish response I can think of

Hospitalizations and deaths are pretty low in the philly area and haven't spiked along with the cases. Talking about the Omicron case spike like it's what was going on with COVID in the fall of 2020 doesn't seem productive to me at all with vaccines and boosters widely available. Again, this is going to be the new normal for a very long while.

I have mcmagic on ignore because mcmagic has the worst possible take on literally every subject. But still: don't go play cards in a pandemic. Arguably don't do anything indoors in groups right now.

god drat do i fuucking hate crimson vow draft, but honestly im kind of excited for double feature, you get all the good midnight hunt removal to help deal with bombs and also there's a lot of interesting cross set synergies that's probably going to recontext a lot of the cards from both sets. like yeah you'll see individual commons much more rarely than normal but im interested to see how it plays out.

Vow isn't a great format but I think it's way better than Midnight Hunt. I'm still drafting vow and enjoying it and I gave up on Hunt after like 2 weeks of the format.

I canceled my Double Feature preorder because the marketing about "the special cards look like classic horror movie posters!" made me think it would be something other than silver-foiled grayscale.

Ignore is pretty weak. You use it to try and hide the truly lovely posters, but because they're lovely posters with horrible takes they get directly responded to all the time. You wind up seeing their crap just as much as if you didn't ignore them. I wish there was a way to completely oubliette posters -- don't see "A jerk posted something" or ever see them quoted. That would be a useful feature. Or, you know, ban the trolls who have years of nothing but negative contribution to threads.

I've played some "out on the deck" Magic in pleasant weather. It's actually quite nice as long as you don't get gusts of wind.

The LGSes I've been to in the past would let folks go play outside on the deck or whatever if the event happened during daylight hours, it makes for a very nice change of pace.

I scroll past them. This is very advanced technique. If you fully vaccinate, wear your mask when it’s reasonable to do so, and it’s allowed at the venue, play magic. Please let me know if any of you need any more controversial opinions.

uggy posted:Post the decks  Played this mess of a reanimator deck yesterday to good success. P1P1 Entomb out of a weak pack and P1P2 Reanimate out a good pack. Folllowed that with Unburial Rites pick 3 and decided I was going to force it. Ended up pretty light on self discard and mill but got Show and Tell very late pack 3 and scooped it up, it ended up being an MVP. Don’t need to put my own stuff in the yard if my opponent will try and do it for me after I put it out on turn 3. Played a scrappy reanimator mirror round 1 that involved hard casting Tibalt, playing Ashen Rider 5 times in a single game, and my opponent show and telling in a grislebrand which promptly got eaten by Archon of Cruelty. 2-0 Round 2 was against some weird Jeskai good stuff deck that was really trying to play an aggressive game and got absolutely bodied game 1 by toxic deluge. Sided in Elesh Norn for games 2 and 3 but never quite got there and lost 1-2 Round 3 was against mono-red and that new 2/2 for 3 with haste that exiles the top card and then gets pumped whenever you exile a card got me hard. Games 2 and 3 Elesh Norn made quick work of it. Turn 2 Elesh Norn was the only time I got to live the dream of EOT entomb/Reanimate, but Tef3ri did a decent impression as well. 2-1
