They should pay the programming people more just so MTGO isn't as lovely otherwise it doesn't really affect anyone.

I am a Magic Judge. I am a Magic Judge. I’ve worked hard to be able to call myself that. I’ve been mentored while working events, pre-tested, and tested. I’ve helped to foster the spirit of good sportsmanship between players and within Communities. I am a Magic Judge. My road has been difficult. Sometimes I work an event with no expectation of remuneration. Other times, I’ve been well compensated - but the hours are long and the gratitude can be sparse. I review myself constantly. I review other Judges and their actions. I am, in turn, reviewed and hope that someone points out an area I can improve. I am a Magic Judge. I spend time networking, teaching, and supporting. I have a cadre of friends, players and fellow Judges alike, who all help to prop me up for the next event. I live more off of high fives and smiles then I do off of compensation that often won’t cover much more than my travel expenses for the event given my place in the program. I am a Magic Judge. My goal is to learn more every day and to be an asset to those around me. To be valued by TO’s. To be appreciated by players. To bring a sense of style and fair play to everyone I interact with at my LGS or GP. I live for that moment when someone yells, ‘Judge!’ in a crowded hall. I’m a Magic Judge. I don’t Judge because I need some form of validation or because I want to be the ‘boss’. A shocking number of my contemporaries are introverts. Some of us even have difficulty leaving our house or being around groups of more than a few people. We Judge for the love of the game. I am a Magic Judge. I walk miles of concrete flooring to take calls, distribute slips, watch matches, and clean up tables. I wish I could harness the energy of a fully-staffed GP - I sometimes think we’d give the 300 Spartans at the Battle of Thermopylae a run for their money. Romantic thoughts aside, the love for the game expressed by those who choose to ‘take the black’ is second to none in the gaming industry. I am a Magic Judge. I’ll continue to Judge and hope that my community will respect my desire to help them, even as I see the program questioned from every angle this week. I’ll watch, assimilate new data, and hopefully find ways to see the positive in all of this turmoil. I’ll bide my time and until I’m actually asked for an opinion, I’ll do my job which is essentially a combination of volunteer and independent contractor (depending on the role I’m in at that moment). I am a Magic Judge. I ask members of the community to recognize the program itself, from its core to the farthest reaches of our service area, is strong and will continue to produce arbitrators you can trust. I’m thankful to be a Judge and even more thankful to be in a position where I can help others pursue becoming a Judge. I am a Magic Judge.

Madmarker posted:No, Crux of fate still exists as a Wrath effect at 5 mana. It isn't a burn spell when you want it to be, and it isn't a wrath when you want it to be. Also it isn't a discard spell when you want it to be. That being said, the use of the word "unless" is good here, which would allow you to create scenarios where it is a 5 mana 10 damage burn spell, but even then, its not particularly good. It is splashy though. That's not really a punisher since you choose the mode not your opponent. Crux would be an awful punisher card!

Your problem lies in that you are asking too many questions. I'm being serious. Hear me out. Essentially, they're saying that - though their official policy is strict on proxies and counterfeits - they REALLY don't care about them actually being used given that they're not Chinese Counterfeits. Like they really don't care, at all. The original post was made to ONE gaming store that was a private communication. By blowing it up, they now have to reiterate their official policy and refuse you the plausible deniability that we are so often given. Now, instead of ignoring it/giving a "warning" when some douchebag who gets DQ'd reports a store for allowing proxies, they have to follow-through on their promise because we made this private email (which acts as a first warning to that specific LGS), very public (now a first warning to every LGS). Essentially, when you ask about a policy, they are going to quote you the official policy (the one that protects them legally). NOT the plausible deniability that they give us between the lines. By blowing this up, we're FORCING them to enforce certain policies that they don't really care to enforce because not doing so would hurt their ability to enforce it when it really matters (in the courts vs. Chinese counterfeiters for example). tl;dr: In public, when you ask them, they have to quote official policy, but they're winking at you when doing so. If you don't get it, What Trick is saying is the official policy. What Helene is saying is the "Wink" (she's winking really hard). STOP ASKING FOR FURTHER CLARIFICATION.

Chairman Pow! posted:As someone switching from standard to modern, I just don't get where modern fits into Wizard's picture. How does it make money for them? Why aren't they actually monetizing it in a way that draws players in? Because WOTC. They're really gun shy about reprint sets. When they do reprint stuff, the casual cards end up dropping in price permanently but most of the actual staples end up going back up. They played it real safe on the Modern Event Deck and even MM2 seemed to be a bit lacking (compared to MM1)

mcmagic posted:There is zero reason for Inquisition to not be a FNM promo so at minimum. I hope they do more modern FNM promos. They had an excuse last summer with MM2015 so who knows what their next excuse will be. anglachel posted:Yes. Playing against the deck makes me think Jund and Tron had a Baby. Eldrazi Temple, Eye of Ugin, and Urborg combo has been compared to Workshops. It turns out that combining 2 Cards (Eye of Ugin and Urborg) to make a Eldrazi Workshop is pretty good. And Oath has given Eldrazi some serious value creatures. A turn 2 Thought Knot Seer, followed by a turn 3 Blight Herder (which you can then cash the Scion tokens to get ANOTHER Blight Herder) is a serious threat. Combine that with the inevitabitely of a deck that runs Ulamog and also has ways to tutor for him and it's really strong. Plus it gets I've been playing a black list with new cards in it. It gets tricky because Eye + Urborg still can't cast Thought Knot, but other than that, it is sick as hell. Oblivion Sower and Urborg is great because you can snag fetch lands and they don't go to waste. So uh post your lists people I want to try them out.
