are we playing whatever we want in the format or are going by ANIME FAN CHALLENGE RULES where you have to post a picture of your deck?

Since it will be streamed one match at a time I imagine we'll have to submit decks otherwise people will just change their list depending on who they're playing against next.

The old mtgoon league used Apprentice originally then Magic Workstation.

To coordinate you guys can use #mtgoon on synirc -- that's what it was there for originally.

Xmage is nearly identical to modo and it's free. I don't really see a reason to use any other program.

That's cool, there have been at least a couple of them since I played like Cockatrice and one more that I can't remember. Are you saying Xmage has rules enforcement? Because if so, that's new to me.

Yes. It has full rules enforcement. Almost identical to modo except better since when bugs get reported on x-mage they actually get fixed.

If I can find the time to figure out XMage I'd be down.

Just download the launcher. Run it. Open x mage. Download the card images in the client and you're good to go.

Looks like it isn't. I don't think they have anything with cumulative upkeep at all...

Glacial Chasm works fine.

Most of the cards that are relevant for legacy work unless it's some super obscure card that never sees play. You can implement it yourself though if you know java or just post on the x-mage forums requesting it.

Partial Octopus beat me 2-1. He made an obvious misclick game 2 that cost him the game but based on the boardstate he would've won so fair's fair.

Confirming this. Super nice of you to do that. You have my thanks.

i built legacy delver, because it was within my grasp to get to from modern delver. I got 3 volcanics and 3 forces (had 1) of some trades and a little cash. I'm still sort of surprised they banned Treasure Cruise in legacy, and now i don't really know what I should do. I have modified the deck, but I'm pretty sure it is way worse against a competitive field than it used to be.

UR delver with PoPs and lavamancers is still a very strong deck. It has won some scg opens in the past.

Hmm.. Whats up with xmage for you? Doomsday is actually impossible to resolve correctly on cockatrice (no way to move cards from a library to a library and keep them hidden) and its also a gigantic pain in the dick to resolve improperly. I guess I'd play on cockatrice if I have to, but I'm not looking forward to it.

VV OK, Well its not impossible but exiling n-5 cards one by one might as well be. Its also something that is actually fairly relevant given Ranpire's deck list.

Hold shift while clicking and dragging cards that you want for doomsday on to the battlefield. It keeps them face down.

Sorry about this. I was in Costa Rica without access to a computer/internet until I returned home around ~9pm Sunday (after over 16 hours of travel). I'm terribly sorry for having been out of contact and depriving Partial Octopus of the games. Obviously this isn't really good grounds for an extension (and I should have spoken up sooner), so I happily concede to him/her/it. Definitely up for this next week.

It's all good. Sorry we couldn't get an extension!

So long story short I have been informed that I have cancer. I'm not sure about my ability to play, but I think I can handle it, especially before chemo starts.

poo poo man. I'm sorry. I'm sure you have a lot going on right now so If you want we can just take the draw (if no one has a problem with us IDing). We would both be in the top 8 anyway. Otherwise I'm available pretty much whenever except for Friday and Saturday night.

Partial Octopus

Haven't heard back from Procastinator yet which is totally understandable. I offered him the draw but I guess if he's not able to play in the top 8 I'll just take the win.
