Oh man, all-time favorite Magic card? I think it has to be Lingering Souls. W/B tokens is my favorite deck and that card is just insane value in it, and even just randomly in other decks too. I'm also hardline Orzhov, and while it's not from either of the Ravnica blocks, it still seems to fit perfectly with the theme of the guild.

On the pet names thing, one that I really like is "Serra Spider" for Sentinel Spider, since it matches the stats and abilities almost exactly with Serra Angel.

Full Fathoms Five posted:This might be a dumb question, but if I fuse Far / Away and target a creature to return, can the opponent then choose to sacrifice that same creature? I know the lefthand side happens first after resolution, but does the spell wait to resolve until both targets have been selected or what? Far/Away only has one creature target when fused, the guy you want to bounce. As you said, the left side of the spell resolves first, so the creature you targeted will be returned to owner's hand, then your opponent will have to sacrifice a creature from those left after that.

Dungeon Ecology posted:Limited draft. Opponent casts Mischief and Mayhem on his Staunch-hearted Warrior and his Vulpine Goliath and swings with both. I have an Akroan Conscriptor, a Spearpoint Oread and a few others that aren't affecting the board. He swings with both his creatures. I cast Necrobite on my Conscriptor, targeting his Staunch-hearted Warrior for the steal. He responds by burning my Conscriptor with Magma Jet, taking it off the table. I still steal the Warrior. The only way this makes any semblance of sense is if your opponent had a Bow of Nylea out, granting all of his attacking creatures deathtouch. If he didn't, it was a bug and you should file for reimbursement.

Dungeon Ecology posted:Sorry, I should have been more clear. The 2/2 took all the damage, I received no damage. I meant that it was a fatal error that cost me the game because he had a pretty huge team at that point. In this case, your opponent just made a good play. He has to order blockers, but then once he does, he can assign as much damage as he wants to your first blocker before doing any to the second.

Aside from LR, I mostly listen to Cube podcasts (The Magic Box, The Third Power, Joy of Cubing), as well as Mark Rosewater's Drive to Work. I'll throw in Judgecast or Brainstorm Brewery every now and then, mostly because they're really entertaining to listen to, even though I'm only vaguely interested in their topics (judging and Magic finance, respectively).

I think normally you would get these from the artist directly; they'll sometimes have a website where you can buy prints of their art, but it doesn't look like Kev Walker does.

GonSmithe posted:So I just found out that there's going to be a sealed tournament each day at PAX East where first place gets a foil Modern Masters set, and 2-4 place get a non-foil set. Not sure exactly where you're seeing that. Per the TO's website, none of the standard sealed events pay out a foil Modern Masters set. http://tjcollect.com/news/pax-east-magic-schedule EDIT: Well that's odd, the OTHER link of their events has the payouts you're describing. I don't know what to believe any more! For example: http://tjcollect.com/event/pax-east-modern-masters-booster-draft-315 revengeanceful fucked around with this message at 14:20 on Mar 28, 2014 |

GonSmithe posted:I have a pass for Friday and Saturday, and the event doesn't start until 3:30 anyway, so there's no way I'm not gonna enter it, even if it does take forever. They've actually learned a bit from last year, so the biggest events they'll be running this year cap out at 64 players and 5 rounds, with no cut to top 4 or 8, so it shouldn't take all night.

Promoted Pawn posted:It is but it seems like he refers to it every other episode of his podcast. Normally I wouldn't mind but it's not like he can carefully control how long his podcasts run (the gimmick is that he does it while driving to Wizards so once he arrives the podcast is over) so he wastes a minute retelling it yet again each time he brings it up.

For similar prize support, I'd go to the place with the better staff/management/whatever even if it costs a bit more. I always prefer to give my business to places that have what I consider to be good business practices, so that they'll hopefully stay around and continue to be a place that I can go to.

uggy posted:YOu're being incredibly dense, so i'll drop this. That's the thing though, SCG increasing the price of fetches IS the natural ebb and flow of supply and demand. Demand was higher than supply, so they increased their buy and sell prices for these cards. The fact that these prices have stuck indicates that this change was not artificial, it was in fact driven by the forces of supply and demand.

Stinky Pit posted:To be fair prices have dropped since then by around 20 dollars. That's not to say the 100 dollar price tag was unreasonable at the time but there are no big Modern events on the Horizon, its perfectly normal that demand was waned slightly since then and that the price came down accordingly.

I'm actually gonna say that 3x Magic 2013 is my favorite draft format of the last couple years. 3x Innistrad was also excellent, though those packs may be a little harder to find now.

Even if we assume the guy is lying, you don't exactly come off smelling like roses on this one. How about you try not resorting to profanity in your complaints in the future? Catch more flies with honey than vinegar, and all that jazz.
