I got xmaged game 1. I was trying to cast mana seism into increasing vengeance on channel the suns. I forgot to uncheck "use mana from pools automatically" and xmage ate my green when I cast seism. ABC was kind enough to scoop.
Game 2 was won on turn 0 with a Leyline of Sanctity.

esporks holla at me brooooooo

I'm in IRC right now and am usually available after 8pm cali time.

8pm starts to get a little bit late for me, but I am usually up til 9. I hang out in IRC a lot, so this should be easy.

I'll be at FNM tonight, am moving all day saturday, and have a legacy event sunday. Could we do a sunday before noon cali time or a late sunday evening?

Sunday is my birthday, so I don't want to commit to anything, but if I am on IRC, sure. I don't think we will have too much trouble finding a weekday evening though.

Fingers McLongDong and eSporks

I'm free almost every weeknight after 5pm and most weekends. I'm also on IRC almost 100% of the time I am home. If you have a specific time in mind let me know.

I can do tonight. Was in the hospital last night.

That sucks man, hopefully it wasn't anything serious. TKOS gave me the win since it was past deadline.

After reviewing I'm awarding eSporks the win for their match.

You are playing Baylon Astronaut this round.

I'm headed to the river right now, but I should be back before 4pst, and I will be home pretty much all night after that. I do go to bed at 10 though.

2/1 here thanks to the timer. Very weird game 1, I had a turn 4 kill game 2, and game 3 started with like 3 minutes on his clock.

I think i would have lost g3 anyways. I was missing way too many land drops and you were getting too far ahead.

That's how real magic works too

Except that it's an acceptable shortcut and no judge will ever hold you accountable for it.

Verbal shortcutting is allowed, yes, but literally if your opponent says "hey I am responding to the fetch" you have to back it up to before you cast the spell and activate the fetch first, which a judge will make you do.

Expecting a videogame version to understand verbal shortcuts is a bit unrealistic.

Like, i can tell my opponent "hey I'm gonna fetch a forest cast GSZ for 0 and get dryad arbor cool?" and then crack a misty and wind up with a GSZ missing from my hand and two new lands on the board (maybe even while my opponent is doing their draw step/main phase) but in terms of what happened via the actual rules I had to do those in a very specific sequential order with multiple shuffles.

You are the second person to reply to that comment. I kept it purposefully brief, but I meant it meant to say that no player will ever be "gothca!'ed" by sequencing that way. I don't play modo a lot, but I think modo does let you resolve spells this way. IIRC modo does not even place the spell onto the stack until all costs are met which seems like a reasonable solution. It allows people to undo the tapping of lands to pay mana costs until the point that they are fully locked in and committed to paying a cost in full, or some effect has entered the stack.
The whole point of that post was to point out that X-mage does not handle common circumstances the same way that paper magic (and possibly modo) do, even though the way it handles them is correct per the rules. It is also not entirely inconceivable for a program to allow the game become backed up in such a case in the same way paper magic does.

Yeah, I had a good chuckle when someone in the main mtg thread said he didn't understand why everyone puts up with MTGO when you can just play for free!

The first few of these thunderdome ran a lot smoother, now it seems like no one wants to play. I wonder if we would be better off doing 8 man's and just knocking it out in one day.
