Wescoe has the simultaneously traumatized and dead eyes of a murderer, in my opinion. Serperoth posted:So speaking of Chapin, when's he coming back to SCG stream commentary? He's great late sunday night, when he's exhausted and bored.

Holiday said the Jeskai deck feels really close to Eggs, which seemed true. It was fun to watch go off for a few games but it looks miserable to play and to play against, so hope it is banned.

What are the differences between "Khans Friendly Prerelease" and "Khans Competitive Prerelease" online? They cost the same and MODO has nothing for prize structure for either. Is competitive elimination?

Is it dumb to do anything but Abzan for the prerelease? Siege Rhino is 8tix online right now, seems good to get almost 50% of your buy in back.

I guess it's cool if you like the colors. They are my favorite wedge but I already did one last night. I guess I was asking if its gonna crater after the weekend. I might try Sultai tonight.

I Love You! posted:I think it's sultai tbh though they share a bunch of the same cards and can splash for certain bombs of each others' I thought Sultai should be pretty good because access to black seems a prerequisite for the removal, but most rundowns I've seen put Sultai at the bottom. Oh well I'm going Abzan again tonight anyway

I agree with you that I wouldn't road trip with strangers to play in a tournament, but the actual game is more fun than the social factor. It's fun to play with friends, but I like MTGO because it's a convenient way to play without having to corral 8+ people or go to a game store.

Bob/Force/other old or really "pro" cards are just unintuitive until you play with them, in my opinion. xeose, play some cube, or some legacy on Cockatrice or whatever, or even just watch cube/legacy videos on ChannelFireball or SCG, and it quickly becomes apparent how good they are.

Sickening posted:I believe that was directed the the folks who were doxxing him. It appears his linkedin was easily found and folks in the Reddit thread were bringing up the fact he is an MP in the airforce and discussing if there were any ramifications for his job. Basically hinting that someone should contact the air force "for justice". I would imagine that if get caught doing that poo poo on twitter or anywhere else you could go down with him. Doxxing is reprehensible but imagining what an Air Force lieutenant or whatever would make of a call explaining that one of his MPs was caught basedealing nonland permanents to the top, thus ensuring his opponent would be mana screwed is funny.

Has anyone else been getting the "deck submission error: log out and in again" bug since the update? Its happened both drafts I've done this weekend. The first time I was able to log in and make my deck in time, but the second I was stuck with 80 card decks r1. I filed for and got reimbursed both times, but still, annoying.

No Gravitas posted:Eh... I don't know much about Magic, but I'm bored. I need to kill some time. If you mean competitive in a real format, whatever deck is "cheap/assholish" will also be expensive, because you probably mean which deck can win the most. If you don't mean that, you probably mean combo, which can fizzle and do nothing or go off and beat your opponent before they have a chance to do anything. Thats Jeskai Ascendency in standard, and I guess modern right now, too.

I don't know what Wagic is, the only ways I know to play against a "computer" are Duels of the Planeswalkers and the Shandralar game from like 20 years ago ok just looked briefly at Wagic; so its a goldfish simulator? In that case try a Storm deck.

MiddleEastBeast posted:A fun exercise is going to your MTGO collection and changing the Quantity dropdown to filter only by cards you have 20+ of in your collection. Reveals a lot about your draft tendencies/provides a nice walk down memory lane, assuming you don't regularly liquidate your draft leavings (not sure how you'd even do that for junk commons). Don't do this if you compulsively draft, though; it might hint at the total amount of money you've dumped into mtgo (51 Divinations)

Modern: UR Delver Cruise lol Standard: MonoB beatdown, and I have everything for UB control except the vaults and like 1 or 2 Digs. I might wait for the 3BB wrath because I cant justify paying 12 tix for a Vault.

Angry Grimace posted:The problem is, 2 mana Planeswalker is probably a bad idea to begin with so long as WOTC is set on making every PW follow the same design they've been using since Lorwyn. Its not like you couldn't make them really good and sort of fair for 2 mana, it would just have to look like this or something: This is basically just an enchantment though, and a pretty insane one. The point of walkers (besides being big splashy mythics that sell packs) is that they offer choices. You can kill your Jace Beleran to get some card advantage, or pump him up to dodge more removal, etc. edit: Maybe this would be fair: 0: Night's Whisper -1: Bob on next upkeep. I do think they should experiment beyond the +, protect this, -, incremental advantage, big ult model though. Terrible Horse fucked around with this message at 01:46 on Nov 26, 2014 |

Angry Grimace posted:Its only scummy because the other players didn't think of it. Its not cheating and and unlike the awful post complaining about playing loud music outside his hotel, it isn't conventionally illegal either. You can't even term it bad sportsmanship because the consistent theme in these "no its scummy" posts is an inability to define what he is even doing wrong in a way you could actually describe a rule prohibiting it. Scummy means going against the "spirit" of the competition. The spirit of the competition is that deck, luck and skill in-game determine the victor, not who has the best out-of-game intelligence.

Angry Grimace posted:I don't agree that out-of-game intelligence is not part of the game. Reading the metagame is clearly within that realm. I'd say studying the metagame falls more under deckbuilding and skill, whereas "out of game intelligence" would be like, a spy has informed you that your opponent can't concentrate and becomes anxious when he hears the word "ex-patriot"; you work "ex-patriot" into your conversation 60 times while playing the match against him. It's not against the rules, but most people would consider it rude and its not an inherent part of the game.

Chill la Chill posted:I tend not to do those other possible activities in my underpants, if I can help it. Yeah, that's all true, but losing the instant mechanic is huge in my opinion; it means outside of secrets/traps, youre simply not playing 50% of the game. HS also feels (emphasis on 'feels'; I dont pretend to be an expert on the game) way more reliant on topdecks, way less reliant on resource management/deck construction, etc. It just feels more "toy"; certainly fun, but I've never had boardstates/decision trees in hearthstone like i've had in magic. Easily the best thing about Hearthstone is the arena thing of being able to draft a deck, then pick it up whenever instead of being tied to 3 rounds in realtime. But it sounds like the inclusion of leagues in MTGO is a step to correct that.
