it’s actually cube also, instead of playing no-stakes poker as an excuse to drink and bullshit with friends, try cube, or anything also also, you’ll never id in cube. really win-win, or draw-draw, for everyone here maybe

In a poker tournament, every situation analogous to IDing a game in Magic is banned as collusion This isn’t actually relevant to the ethics of intentionally drawing or playing it out, but since people brought up poker I thought it was interesting

The only real poker is that which is played as a prelude to russian roulette the room MUST be saturated in the blue-gray haze of cigar smoke, cuban preferred, and there MUST be at least two (2) members of a mafia, triad, or equivalent criminal organization present real magic is the same way, except the air is filled with vape drippings and everything smells like BO and/or urine

kalvanoo posted:There's a platonic ideal of magic that exists solely in my head that I enjoy playing I enjoy the memory of playing magic when I was little and am stubbornly holding out for the brief glimpses of wonder I had siting at an FNM, accidentally drawing 8 cards, and then crying when my opponent forced me to reshuffle my deck because my hand was pretty good. I'm not sure why that's my most enduring Magic memory, I swear I enjoyed playing the game.

I told one of my poker-playing colleagues about Magic Arena, then he played that a couple of weeks and now he's going to FNM drafts. I'm kind of proud, and considering getting back into physical as well & come along. Game's good.

Jabor posted:The real format is Judge's Tower I got a friend who doesn’t like the competitive aspects of magic so we mainly play his tower when there’s nothing to do for 30 min on board game night. He also plays edh and has a caterpillar stasis lock muldrotha deck. There are, yes, people who enjoy magic but not tournament magic. Also tower teaches you really quickly how the graft mechanic works. Nobody doesn’t gently caress up cytoplast root kin the first time

So interesting thing I just found out while looking at Gatherer. You aren't allowed to re-order your graveyard: http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=2116 I think that makes playing dredge a bit more mentally taxing, since I know some people organize their graveyard b/c it lets you look at your recurring cards. I've played against it a decent amount that way before and never said a thing because I thought it didn't matter. Specifically, I'm thinking about this not as a dirty trick to pull out on dredge players, but because I've gotten the value portions of the dredge deck and plan on trying it out in the next week or so. I want to try to play the deck cleanly even if it is being played poorly, and it now appears that really having a good eye for what's in your graveyard is part of learning to play the deck cleanly. It also in no way has to do with me wishlisting that nether shadow show up in MH, hopefully without containment priest.

I have always seen that rule brought up just for the formats where you can encounter cards that care. Nether Shadow, Deathspark, Krovikan Horror... I'm sure there are others, but those are the only three that come to mind. So graveyard order doesn't really matter in modern/standard but can matter in legacy/edh/alliance draft (that sounds terrible btw).

I don't think any Modern-legal card cares about graveyard order though.

rabidsquid posted:only 900 cards worth of decks? pathetic Excuse me, all my pauper decks have full sideboards and a few of my edh decks have some card swaps to tweak their power level to similar to whatever playgroup I wind up with. So at least 1045 cards.

rkajdi posted:So interesting thing I just found out while looking at Gatherer. You aren't allowed to re-order your graveyard As of 2009, this rule only applies to Legacy and Vintage (and technically EDH) because they're the only formats where Nether Shadow/Death Spark/Volrath's Shapeshifter and the like are legal. There's a 0% chance that they introduce graveyard-orders-matters cards into Modern.

It's the only reason I even brought it up. yeah but that's a gatherer ruling for nether shadow. modern and standard do not have that rule precisely because nether shadow, and every card like it, are not in the format. a while back they realized making your graveyard order matter was a pain in the rear end and so they stopped making those cards specifically so people could avoid needing to care about it.

If anyone wonders why they no longer make graveyard order matters cards, imagine these two cases: 1) You have a Grizzly Bears out and cast Wrath of God. Does the Grizzly Bears end up over the Wrath in your graveyard? No 2) You have a Grizzly Bears out and cast Pyroclasm. Does the Bears end up over the Clasm in your graveyard? Yes we're not even talking complicated cards there

I'm still worried that horizon frontier is going to wreck graveyard or other unfair decks, but having to ninja memorize what is coming down in my graveyard would make it kind of impossible to play.
