Balon posted:Which is a problem for the health of the game as a whole, I find. I'm a grown rear end man with a good paying job and I still don't want to pay for FlipJace. I've played Atarka Red for 8 months at this point just because it's cheap (and wins a lot still). It kinda doesn't, flip Jace is out there and he can't feasibly be reprinted in a supplementary product because he's a DFC. So either buy a playset or don't play blue till he rotates (or ever if he isn't just a fad in eternal formats).

Sickening posted:Standard has had the shittiest turnouts for fnm in the last 6 weeks then i can ever remember. I think only a handful have fired in the Dfw area. It seems like I have to pay for ptq/iq to play standard. Bright side is cashing those events is about as easy as it gets right now. I've been noticing this at my store as well, I think we had like 30-ish people last night in a store that used to hit over double that.

Dehtraen posted:FNM attendance has been very, very low lately. I think it has been a combination of the holidays coming up and high price of standard. To a lesser extent I am pretty sure it also has to do with how slow FNM runs now a days with it being a midrange crunch fest. Last night FNM started 15 minutes late, then every round when to turns for an extra 10-15 minutes, and then a repair going into round 4 because someone misreported their results. It was 15 minutes into round 4 and it was already passed the time I usually am getting home. RB aggro, I went undefeated until I played against Cody and punted hard against Atarka red to finish 3-1. Edit: waiting for the inevitable realization that oh, I'm the jerk in the store that you hate :P

Dehtraen posted:I just see general slower playing, lots of newer / just returning to the game guys that are dropping $600 on whatever 4 color deck won the last SCG event, then stumbling their way through library searching effects (fetches, bring to light, nissa), tanking over really basic decisions, or just not even knowing what their cards do (yes, virulent plague effects your tokens too) Oh hey it was nice to finally meet you, it was also nice to have an opponent that can carry a conversation while playing. I like to play quick-ish so's I can have time for a beer between rounds, which is partly the reason I can never play control.

mcmagic posted:Read your own posts before you call me dense. We have no idea what SCG's income statement looks like but even if he can't get paid a decent salary from SCG he should definitely be able to work for WOTC since he's pretty widely viewed as the best at what he does. These are large organizations with big ad budgets. I think what was actually happening is that Patrick was already a contract employee for Activision who got moved to a permanent salaried position and ended up making more money without needing to work weekends.

Sickening posted:Uncommons that go in a lot of competitive decks are usually 1.00 - 2.50. It's kinda weird though since it is normally played as a Shock and the additional text is largely ignored since damage prevention is kind of underused right now. They could have literally printed Shock again and it would have made very little difference.

JerryLee posted:the spoilers here could hardly have been better picked as marquee cards: Kozilek, big new "mechanic," Expeditions. If that doesn't get the target audience excited enough for you, fire yourself. Expeditions are a huge miss for me, the absurd rarity ensures that if I open any shiny rare land I'll most likely convert it into multiple non-shiny ones rather than holding onto it.
