Lottery of Babylon posted:I like broken stuff, but not when, like, my opponent is able to combo off on a turn that isn't 4. You're a monster if you can't appreciate losing two games in a row to blightsteel via mana vault and tinker turn 2 then mana vault, izzet signet, tinker turn 1. This is the broken cube poo poo I live for

stinkles1112 posted:I like this set, there are a lot of neat cards, they gave my pet strategy (Ghostfire Blade) a lot of love, and I especially think they did a good job considering the whole block paradigm change but godDAMN the art is disappointing. I hope this hyper-CG style doesn't persist. I'm sure the art style will be back in the near future, just slightly shittier.

New weird and cute behavior in MTGO: when using birchlore Rangers' activated ability, it taps the birchlore Rangers. However, you can click it again and it untaps, then another elf and it taps both as if the cost were paid. So the card works correctly but I had to pray that you could still tap the birchlore otherwise the elves pauper deck basically doesn't function correctly.

Bugsy posted:So why does Simian Spirit Guide tap in your hand when you exile it for mana on mtgo? I posted about this recently with Birchlore Rangers, which also "taps" when it's ability is activated. I say "taps" because you can tap it to pay the cost as normal; it just untaps and then taps again, this time for real.

SEX HAVER 40000 posted:I signed up for the Card Kingdom Pauper tournament in a couple weeks and I have no idea what deck I should take. I play UB teachings and Soul Sisters online, but the Elves and Bogles decks look awesome (Bogles a little less so, only because I've Edicted a lethal creature after a Bogles player emptied their hand onto it many times). The Delver variants look OK, but I'm not sure that's the kind of magic I want to play. Anyone have a pet deck or rogue Pauper brew? Recently I swung for 117 damage, leaving my opponent at 20 life playing pauper elves n turn 5 or 6 In the mirror match. I killed him the next turn with a wirewood pride. Pauper elves rules if you like having a shitton of creatures and hands of 25 cards where you can play all of them except the lands.

Sestze posted:he joked about it in the first vid I posted, but unfortunately Kibler's interaction is still needed because he has to cut after every ghost quarter/flooded strand/tarn sacrifice. As such he couldn't hit the can without incurring a slow play infraction. Is the cut required by rule? I've never thought twice about an opponent refusing to cut or even doing it myself sometimes in limited.

Skyl3lazer posted:
There's a case to be made that they're contractors, specifically because wizards does not set the hours the judges have to work, or where, or in what sort of attire, which is one of the litmus tests of employee vs. contract worker. However their tasks are specifically set by wizards and I assume wizards sets rules and regs for the judges, both of which land on the "employee" side of employee vs. contract. I hope wizards gets boned on this because unfair labor practice is a pet peeve of mine, and I especially hate how they rely on the goodwill of the players without ever throwing much of a bone to us that doesn't involve their profits.

Sigma-X posted:Everyone wants more women in magic in the abstract but there are relatively few dudes who can handle getting their rear end handed to them by a girl. No one is buying this as an actual defense of mtg culture. "Improving in gaming slowly" sounds like complete nonsense when there's a woman about to be nominated for President. This poo poo is dumb, let's talk about "cool" early playing experience kitchen table magic decks instead. My first and favorite kitchen table deck ever was an artifacts deck that varied between UWb and UW. In its final form it was pretty well tuned to my playgroup's metagame, playing masters of etherium, glint hawk idols, tempered steel, and some other cheap pieces like frogmite, welding jar, and oblivion ring. However, I always got wrecked by my friend's jund deck that ran skullclamp (maybe Pontius Pilate will describe it in here). So I bought playsets of swords and enlightened tutor, everyone in our house playgroup accused me of starting "an arms race," and they built a cube instead of playing any more swingy kitchen table magic.

Soul Glo posted:Well, in any case, you probably want more than four creatures total that you can cast in the first two turns. Echoing the LR lesson learned. Think LSV suggests 7-8 2 drops if you're in aggro, and that's spells that you actually want to cast turn 2.

mcmagic posted:I don't understand how Delver could be fun in Modern. I just want no part of that card without Brainstorm or Ponder. As for Zoo/Infect the logic is that the Phyrexian Mana cards are broken so you want to be abusing them and those decks do that best. Ponder is too busted for modern, meanwhile CoCo players are popping out 6 cmc in creatures for 4 mana at instant speed.
