While I agree with hating the guy with the pokemon doll, the other guy is trolling in real life and i can't help but respect that.

I honestly don't think hes trolling as he done for years, He really thinks he is helping his opponent. And yes its super tilting to play against him, hell its tilting just to play next to him.

Got a question I'm hoping to get resolved. If I play a Gray Merchant of Asphodel is there any way for my opponent to block the damage done by the card as it enters the battlefield, can you cast an instant against it before it finishes "entering the battlefield"?

Total devotion is checked once gary enters the battlefield. If gary gets ultimate priced while the trigger is on the stack and you have no other devotion to black the trigger then resolves and drains for zero.

The last round of the draft started, Nummy had the high life total and the prompt showed up to set his life total. I don't know if it crashed on him or he closed it but it dropped him from the event and marked the game at 0-2-1.

Tokens have the same rarity as the card they were printed for, don't they? Like, saprolings are common, but Voice is rare?

Yes the tokens are of the same rarity as the card that makes them. Voice is a mythic so the voice elemental token is rarer than say a Grove of Guardian elemental.

Hey, so, I'm looking to get back into MTG. I haven't played since Zendikar, and I can't seem to find much info on the state of the current block. Is Standard going to cycle soon? Wouldn't want to jump into it and then have my Standard deck be invalidated in a month :)

Found this list but I don't know when the next set comes out (I guess May 2nd?) and what will be removed when the next block comes.

When the big fall set comes out all of RTR block will rotate out along with M14. Theros block and m15 (out this summer) will be around till the next big fall set comes out.

I'm upset they haven't printed ways to absolutely abuse enchantments, nor any really good enchantments in general this block. I just want "return target enchantment to the battlefield" or something. Come on wizards I know you want to let me play chromaticore in monowhite.

Other than the occasional god are there any enchantments from Theros that are played?

Nighthowler in the b/g graveyard deck, the god weapons see some play (do the red decks play hammer anymore?), Boon Satyr saw some play, and doesn't Chained to the Rock see some as well? The point is good one, for an enchantment set very few of the non gods are seeing any play out of limited.

Wasn't U/B control a thing during Delver standard? I specifically remember PV playing it at a couple of Grand Prix. These memories are before AVR, though, so if you're talking about super Delver with Resto Angel, then yeah I can see it not being a thing anymore.

I remember that U/B was the control deck before Caw first came together. It was kills spells, counters, 1-2 grave titans, 3-4 sea gate oracles, and Jaces.

And looking through the tcgplayer deck listings for Grave Titan, it saw play in Solar Flare decks, and a bunch of Esper/Grixis control decks. It has this deck as well, http://magic.tcgplayer.com/db/deck.asp?deck_id=1033212 but I cant really remember a u/b deck tearing it up when delver was first starting up.

I'm curious now if there are any boston goons ITT. I'm wondering what the best places on the north shore are to draft, specifically. I'm used to drafting up in New Hampshire but I don't want to drive that far anymore. If a place pays out in store credit rather than lovely-rear end packs that you can't use to draft at the store that seems preferable.

I know Rinski and Jackie Lee are out of Boston, but it doesn't look like they have been posting that much recently.
