Niton posted:Stupid rules question: What happens if, theoretically, my opponent's name is -also- the name of a card? Like if my opponent legally changed his name to Gaddock Teeg, would I be able to gain protection from him that way? From Runed Halo's rulings: quote:5/1/2008 Runed Halo gives you protection from each object with the chosen name, whether it's a card, a token, or a copy of a spell. It doesn't matter what game zone that object is in. Given the "each object", I think this is a non-starter. It would be amazing if it worked, though. e: you can't even name 'Jack', because the comprehensive rules say only Magic cards count as "cards" according to the rules.

I, for one, am utterly shocked that a thread about magic: the gathering has stereotypical magic players in it. Relatedly, how's valentines day registration in Paris going for that legacy tournament?

This is pretty neat. How viable is it as a deck? I don't care about going 4-0 or anything but if I can make Legacy players get feelbads I'm intrigued.

Stinky Pit posted:Combo decks are common in Legacy, you aren't going to give any Legacy players "feelbads" with Sac Lands Tendrils but you might have a lot of fun playing a cool format. More 'I built this deck for <100' (I basically only need the Pasts in Flames and Petals) in the second-most expensive format.

Calling it now: Ducks block is going to be all about Nissa. Introducing her years ago was actually a calculated move by R&D to foreshadow her being the chosen one to defeat the eldrazi/phyrexians/whoever simultaneously.

Aww, I missed Restore Balance chat. It's definitely a fun deck, but it's not a good one, and anyone saying it is is lying, at the very least to themselves. I've barely played it at all since trading for most of Fish, which isn't a T1 deck either, but is still miles ahead of RB, at least the Borderpost version. There's a much more resilient version of the deck with a real manabase, but it's no longer a budget deck, and that's one of the main reasons people play the deck to begin with.

vOv posted:If you turn Sorin, Lord of Innistrad into a creature via Mycosynth Lattice and March of the Machines, does he become a legal target for his ultimate because it only says "other planeswalkers", not "other creatures"? ruling 1/22/2011 posted:If Sorin, Lord of Innistrad somehow becomes a creature, it can be chosen as a target of its own third ability. If Sorin, Lord of Innistrad is still on the battlefield when that ability resolves, it will then destroy Sorin and return him to the battlefield under your control. Always check the rulings, they're usually pretty good about stuff like this. My favourite will always be equipping a planeswalker onto another planeswalker, though. e: whoops, while the ruling above is true I don't think it applies in the case you illustrate, since he's an Artifact Creature Planeswalker - Sorin, as Tharizdun points out. a dozen swans fucked around with this message at 22:46 on Mar 3, 2014 |

I was playing Junk Reanimator for a bit. Grisly Salvage and Commune to fill the bin and find lands/your Whip, deathrite (I had multiple opponents go 'wait, that guy's useable in standard?) to fix and accelerate, then Whip and Obzedat's Aid to reanimate an Angel or Ashen Rider t4-5 is pretty backbreaking. The deck's definitely missing something (probably a third reanimation effect that's better than Journey), but it's relatively consistent and pretty fun, and you can even get all toolboxy if you add Jarad's Orders.

Ulysses is totally worth reading (and arguably sublime) the next time you have two years to take notes on every book joyce ever read in advance of opening your annotated copy. If you even just have annotations without foreknowledge though it's a tough fucker of a book to read. I mean, it's no Finnegans Wake, but if that book were a magic card it'd have Protection from Editors for sure

JerryLee posted:Why wouldn't it? The number of decks that use them in Modern is a much smaller slice of the pie, and my impression is that said decks are tier 2 at best (no offense to your Fish deck). None taken! And yeah, while I'm sure it'll drop some, I was wondering if any of the finance folks here had an idea of how much.

My problem with forge was that when i started i didn't realize you had to actually download price data, so for a bit i sold all my uncommons and then bought a black lotus and three moxen for it, because each of them was just priced the same as any other rare. Then i found out that i hadn't downloaded price data, and things suddenly made a lot more sense.

Is it normal for the tournament page to show all matches including yours as 0-0 even after you've won the round and are just waiting on the other games? Yes and yes.

Since it looks like we're wrapping down the previous store location chat, can I ask for store recs in Vancouver, BC? For the longest time my work schedule made getting out to anything impossible, and I'm kind of interested in playing formal Magic in person again. I think I'm mostly interested in draft, but standard and modern aren't out of the question. Grognards are a minus.

Baron - have you thought about just dropping twenty bucks to get it done through Amazon mechanical turk? I bet it'd be pretty easy to set that up, and if you're keeping a list for insurance purposes it makes sense to me to spend a little cash for peace of mind.
