Yeah no kidding. I can understand her fanboys being a bit bummed but like, there should be some screaming going on after a play like that. Then again, maybe that's more of an American game thing.

Oh apparently this is a thing:



I guess you just say "can't activate abilities" :downs:

Well it lets them activate abilities on lands, which seems important. They could still like, Maze of Ith. I also wonder if that specific omission is there to allow players to pay mana costs triggered by their opponent (Of the "unless your opponent pays X" variety) because that otherwise might deactivate the ability to tap for mana.

Also, with regards to hype chat, I remembered that Japanese fighting game players in the US frequently wear headphones because they aren't prepared to deal with the screaming

its more because game audio is an advantage if you can hear it clearly. it isnt like there's a shortage of noise in japanese arcades

It's really only Japanese players that do it regularly though.

I thought her play style was more of a mind game thing. Actual card players can be pretty friendly even at high levels but there are players who definitely try to throw off opponents by playing very flatly without betraying emotion to avoid giving reads or to demoralize their opponents. I figured it was just another symptom of her play-to-win style

Also I'm pretty sure plain color sleeves in good condition are basically required for pro level competitive magic to prevent card marking.
