^^ belcher rocks, keep on being degenerate! This is my weekly update that I still dislike the pitch elementals. I just do not think they’re fun. And also the price is loving lmao. Endurance is the platonic ideal for the pitch elementals though. Perfectly fine on each side.

latest eternal glory podcast episode is pretty good, there's a lot of practical advice about attending a paper tournament. the first and most emphatic bit is "take a shower" which made me lol there's also a tidbit where one of the hosts (boshnroll) says "no one gives a poo poo about how you lost" which felt pretty relatable. asking for emotional support when you take a harsh L is good, but going into unwarranted detail about the game state is just tedious and annoying. wish I had the balls to just say that myself to my cedh friends who do that lol

it's good op. centers on legacy but they talk about other eternal formats too. their intro stuff sucks and might be an initial turn off but it's good once they actually start talking. hosted by two of my favorite legacy content creators, and Bryant cook

Most people don't! And my paper tourney advice that doesn't get enough discussion is to make sure you eat and drinking enough, both before and during the event. When I was still playing paper FNMs I'd bring a Clif Bar or something even to an event that small!

I would NEVER do it in a tournament setting unless the opponent was a friend or regular playmate of mine. Weekly FNMs for legacy or modern are for fiddling sideboards and making small adjustments, a GP or w/e I complete my game, spit out a quick “Good Luck” and just bounce before my opponent can pick up their cards. Then I go ask my friends what I did wrong lol

I assumed it was the young man who mentioned earlier that he was staying at a local shelter since moving back to town bc hygiene is rough when you are in that spot (and no shame, capitalism is a motherfucker) and was ready to offer to spot him $5 to catch a shower next Saturday before he rolls in to play magic. That's when said wizard gets called back to play another game. The funk stayed. It wasn't a cloud, it was the other guy  Will def pull him aside and gently remind him that everyone feeling welcome and invited to play in our space, including those with sensitive noses if it happens again bc my nose is usually super dead and it bothered even me

I have no problem discussing lines post game with an opponent. Especially if I feel that they outplayed me at certain points in the match. But I also record my tournament results in a note file on my phone and post them for public ridicule.

the obvious solution is to post results of 6-9 or 4-2-0. No one will ridicule you because they'll be too busy laughingPleasantDirge posted:Yikes every game store I've ever been to, no matter the size or location or reputation, has one and exactly one person like this. every time I go somewhere new I will end up getting repulsed by some person, but also I'm often impressed at the number of people who don't smell. I mean you'd think it would be more! maybe it's like an internet thing, where the subculture becoming more well known caused people to be more reflective and smell-conscious

I’m extremely grateful that my LGS owner is himself a true gamer and has a full and complete “if I can smell you then you have to leave” policy. He called it “The Super Smash Bros” rule.

The only thing I can conclude about the smelly people is that they must not know and therefore that makes me reflexively worry that maybe it is me who is the smelly one.

It’s sad because USUALLY it just means that person lives either alone or with their parents who are probably just as stanky and they just don’t have anyone in their life to tell them to shower and change draws One of the upsides of having mask mandates in the LGS, I suppose

I think one major problem is people will generally avoid confrontation, including telling a stinky person they need to improve their hygiene. People don't want to make the smelly person uncomfortable, but that person is making many others uncomfortable with their odor. I've been the one to confront several times, and each time most of the people in the shop kind of stared at me in amazement that I said anything. It's an awkward conversation, but one that should be had.

adventure turt looks, at best, like a sideboard card to me. it doesn't fly or block flyers—it has no evasion whatsoever. in a control matchup with few ground chaff maybe you bring it in as a hard to remove threat, but that requires a flex slot in your sideboard and that's a very specific scenerio. could see play but you'll probably get more mileage by sticking to murko or monastery mentor and keeping the board flexible instead of narrow. looks like another overhyped fatty to me, and for that reason, I'm Out

Moxie is a good name considering the situation. If anyone doesn't get it just say she's a fizzy little girl with some bark and bite. Like the soda.

Tournament report face to face calgary Bant humans deck list: 4 noble hierarch 4 champion of the parish 2 avacyns pilgrim 4 meddling mage 4 unsettled mariner 4 thalias lieutenant 3 thalia, guardian of thraben 4 reflector mage 2 brutal cathar 3 shardless agent 2 Adeline, resplendent cathar 4 collected company 4 cavern of souls 3 horizon canopy 1 temple garden 1 hallowed fountain 1 breeding pool 2 forest 1 plains 7 fetches Sideboard 3 sanctifier en vec 2 deputy of detention 2 kataki, wars wage 2 mirran crusader 2 dromoka’s command 1 sanctum prelate 1 Lavinia, azorius renegade 2 Outland liberator Bant humans tournament report: R1 vs mono red prowess Win die roll Win 2-0 G1: I’m playing against a 12 year old at his first tournament and I land thalia and 2 unsettled mariner. Opponent baubles himself and fetches before looking at the card. It’s like that. G2: opponent makes some misplays, tanks a lot, and Abeed stops by the table for a bit and sits down while I explain how meddling mage works to my opponent, and I then rewind for my opponent and walk them through the whole process. I also flood on lands for several turns (seeing 14 of my decks 20 lands) until I finally draw a horizon canopy which draws a coco, which hits a sanctifier em vec. I almost go to time but I have fun. R2 vs ephemerate money pile (60 card version) Lose die roll Lose 0-2 This match was against one of the two guys who got DQ’s for being absolutely lovely AND playing extremely loose (accusations of playing extra lands, drawing extra cards, ignoring rules, cheating etc) and I did call my opponent out on playing an extra land, but I was hungover and assumed he was just dumb as hell (he might still be dumb as hell tbh) but he also had 3x fury and 3x ephemerate over 2 games G1: T1 ragavan, lightning bolt for meddling mage on fury, fury + ephemerate G2: T1 ragavan, bolt for blocker, fury + ephemerate twice. R3 vs murktide Win die roll Win 2-0 G1: cavern on humans champion into mariner into thalia taxes the opponent enough and a lieutenant puts the board out of bolt range G2: I don’t think my opponent knows that ledger shredder activates when I cast two spells which is good for me. Sanctum prelate on one shuts down my opponents deck. Judge call for a rewind when my opponent spell pierces a coco through the prelate R4 vs amulet Lose die roll Lose 1-2 G1: early titan gets me G2: meddling mage on titan gets me the win G3: meddling mage on titan, opponent untap and casts cultivator colossus into dryad, into cultivator colossus R5 vs tameshi combo Lose die roll Win 2-1 G1: opponent has the turn 1 suspend lotus bloom, so there’s no surprise. They also have the end step, eladamri’s call for tameshi, bloom off suspend, t4 combo me out G2: i meddling mage lotus bloom with one on suspend and present a fast clock. They cannot interact with it. G3: opponent gets stuck on two land and I have a t2 thalia while also presenting a very fast clock once again. R6 vs rakdos midrange Lose die roll Lose 0-2 G1: opponent has t1 ragavan into thoughtseize into lilianna into lilianna G2: opponent has 3 lilianna this game and it’s wild. Honestly good for him, great opponent R7 vs mono blue tempo Lose die roll Win 2-1 G1: opponent puts chalice on one and two, I get to explain how chalice and cavern works. (Very good for me) I still lose the game due to not being able to deal with 3 power flyers. Game goes long G2: this game also goes long, but I have meddling mages putting in work, and caverns once again. Brutal cathar flips repeatedly in this game. This game also involved a judge call about day/night and if you can respond to it G3: caverns are good, I think my opponent doesn’t know the At he can counterspell cascade spells even if I used cavern to cast shardless. Also my opponent wins if he simply ticks up blast zone, but he’s hyper focused on getting to hall of the storm giants manaz R8 vs yawgmoth Lose die roll Win 2-0 G1: opponent does yawgmoth stuff. I cast hierarch and pass, t2 champion of the parish, meddling mage on yawgmoth. T3 meddling mage on chord of calling, meddling mage on eldritch evolution, no yawgmoth, no gods, no masters. G2: opponent has a t3 yawgmoth and I have a t3 deputy of detention to hit yawgmoth, followed by a sanctum prelate on 3. We go back and forth and I swing with champions for a bit. Opponent is finally able to chord for 7 to get a yawgmoth but is at 8 life, and I have 2 unsettled mariner on board. Opponent goes to 1 looking for an answer but doesn’t find it.
