GoutPatrol posted:Clashing was a cool ability. I would like they to try and bring it back but the best part of it was the Scry 1 and now that's evergreen. I feel like losing to an opponent's topdeck is feelbads enough without a mechanic that requires them to rub it in your face. Same with miracles

This seems pretty not ideal. And the main reason I don't draft is the time commitment.

Horrible? Magic thread still bad today I see. The sanctity of pods is like my tenth highest concern to enjoy limited. Also here keeping single elimination 8-4s for that purpose anyway.

It kinda reads more like they didn't know how to implement single elimination in a league, but yeah, the end result is the same.

GoutPatrol posted:I read that Lantern players are trying it because it helps your ensnaring bridges. It seems like it does everything Lantern wants it to do - kills a creature, gains some life, removes an artifact kill spell. On the other hand, all their garbage cards cost 1 anyways so I don't think they usually have a difficult time dumping their hand by turn 3-4.

I had this happen at a SCG Regionals recently, and am headed to GP Indy this weekend, so I want to be sure I understand this correctly. If an opponent says "go" or the equivalent at the end of their turn, and then quickly says "oh wait" and wants to go back, is that allowed if I've done nothing? I'm inclined to say at competitive REL that I can say "nah" but that seems pretty jerky. But I also prefer to win as often as possible, so if saying "go" is a shortcut to end of turn that's final, something similar to "go to attacks?", then I'm not really going to want to allow it.

If they say "go" they are passing the turn. Though I tend to allow them to go back if they say it right away before I've untapped or drawn a card.

It's a good question. If you're following the rules to the letter if they say go they've passed priority to you in their end step, period. I would say if it's been less than a second to give it to them.

A judge/store owner answered this question for me between rounds at a PPTQ. He said that 15 years ago when the rules were way more strictly enforced it would have been no take backs but today the goal is to avoid punishing honest mistakes, especially if they don't give information or impact the game state. Technically you passed and it's too late but:  "These days the strongest personality, including the judge, in a judge call wins it."

If you have already drawn your card that is enough for most judges. ThePeavstenator posted:

In the example I gave above I had attacked in an earlier turn without looking at the board state accurately at all and lost an important creature, and wasn't inclined to lose more ground. However, I think the spirit of the game as a game and not some kind of ground war in asia, makes it fair to give some lenience. It probably is fuzzy depending on a lot of factors. Once I start doing anything on my side of the board I'd say bets are off, though.

Magic not having strict guidelines for rules enforcement seems kinda dumb to me as a guy who has officiated other stuff. I get not wanting to punish honest mistakes but if you don't have it in the rules that every time you commit some infraction a consistent penalty happens, then you get the weird cheats you hear about from up-and-coming players who turn out to be frauds. If an infraction doesn't have a real downside, cheaters will keep trying to push it and people making honest mistakes won't learn how to not make those mistakes.

They should leave Regular REL the way it is though because otherwise I'll have to stop bringing roman candles to FNM.

I don't play at anything more competitive than FNM level and I'll generally let someone take back something if the board state or access to information hasn't changed since then. I'll even let newer players take back entire combat steps etc if they're making an obvious misplay into on-board interactions due to not being familiar with cards or complicated interactions. I'm more concerned about having good games and teaching new players than I am about relentlessly grinding out wins, and a game that I won because someone punted isn't much more satisfying than beating someone who gets stuck on two lands.

 :confuseddoge.jpg: e: What color are these people? I've been passed two Oren-Riefs which are bombs in base-Green decks, maybe they're red and there were better cards than the Rift, but I wheeled a Kor Sanctifiers and there's the best blue common in the pack...

Nighthawk is vastly better than everything else possible. Maybe someone took two white cards and then took a Journey over the Nighthawk to stay on color? MTGO drafters

A friend is interested in my Judge promo Temporal Manipulation, and he's offering 25 euros. That seems like a reasonable price on Magiccardmarket (lowest now is 27, when we checked it was 25). I happened to check MTGStocks as well, and it's apparently 65 dollars?  Is there an explanation for that? Obviously there'd be fluctuation between continents, but that's double the price, that seems a lot.

I'd imagine it's a matter of supply, demand, and market manipulation. The majority of the mtgfinance crew is US based and using tcgplayer, and due to shipping costs there is very little cross continental movement for non-power items. I don't know poo poo about the european market but I would imagine it is very possible that Commander is not as popular over there as it is over here, too, and since it's an exclusively Commander card, you'd have legitimate market forces at work.
