Ok, if that's real it's totally sweet and on the level with double faced cards in terms of "weird poo poo you'd never expect them to do."

That Soldier deck was sweet. From memory: 4 Ballyrush Banneret 4 Captain of the Watch 4 Thalia 4 Field Marshal 4 Daru Warchief 4 Enlistment Officer 4 Preeminent Captain 4 Suppression Field 4 Chrome Mox 9 Plains 2 Karakas 4 Cavern of Souls 4 Wasteland I don't remember what else, maybe Aether Vials or Swords? SB had some Phyrexian Revoker, Rest in Peace I think. Don't remember what else but SB was 4/4/4/3.

Angry Grimace posted:I'm pretty sure there are no legal moves you can make which are considered cheating, although legal moves can occasionally stray into unsportsmanlike conduct or stalling (e.g. activating Sensei's Divining Top 5 times a turn). Cheating is when a player 1) commits an infraction 2) intentionally 3) for advantage. That's what it takes. If that infraction is slow play, then the infraction isn't USC - Cheating, it's USC - Stalling, but both are a DQ.

Lancelot posted:Is it? It seems really average to me. How good is Exploration on turn 4? Well, it's also a 4/4 body, and if you're treating it as Exploration it "draws" you a card every turn. Add to that lands with ETB effects and the fact that if the land you bounce comes in untapped it only costs 1 to activate, and you have a pretty good card. Not sure if RG landfall is really a good enough deck that this card will be a Standard powerhouse, but in that deck it is very good.

I think that 90+% of the time, when a spell with a single target is countered on resolution but you really wanted it to resolve, the thing you missed out on doing is some form of drawing a card. In that case it's kind of a feature, not a bug-- strategically removing your own dudes to deny your opponent value. Like Remanding your own Cryptic.

Something I like about the lore: all of the Eldrazi ruin and annihilate the land in incredibly alien ways, but different lineages do it differently. Ulamog turns stuff into gray dust. Kozilek melts and distorts it like flame applied to a photograph. I thought it was very evocative.

I think too powerful is kind of an oversimplification. I mean, there was no 1-mana burn spell that hit the dome in standard with Thoughtseize, was there? You can't tell me Shock was too powerful but Thoughtseize was ok. They just emphasize different things at different times.

this is a pretty huge spoiler, though, i mean it's not like a bunch of random cards, it's the entire run of the incredibly hyped expeditions (and don't you think they'd have gotten serious mileage out of the Wasteland reveal?), the new mechanic, marquee mythic, plus a bunch of other mythics including both walkers.

Yeah I'd like to see that evidence because from what I've heard BFZ is the best selling set of all time above the #2, KTK in terms of data many regions have a serious judge shortage because so many events are happening

Lunsku posted:The L3 maintaining magicjudges.org (a third party judge site I understand) has suspended it in protest: Yeah, as has been said this is a huge deal. This is where judges apply to be staffed to events, up to and including GPs. This is, in fact, the only place where we can do that, aside from a personal conversation with the TO. Not to mention reviews, reports, etc. Also, L2 maintenance forms are due and a lot of judges have been dragging their feet on them, and this site collates them. I am lucky I got mine in on time. Without Judge Apps, there's no way to staff any event. If this isn't back up in a matter of days events are going to start getting cancelled.

the truly egregious part is that one of the judges suspended, upon seeing the leak in a Facebook group, immediately contacted Wizards to report it and try to help them find the source. No good deed, and so on.

Pat Chapin: With respect Maro, perhaps this is a man that you don't fully understand, either. A long time ago, I was on Reddit. We were trying to build hype for a new set by slowly revealing cards. But our cards were being leaked by a judge. So, we went looking for the leaks. One day, I saw a child tweeting a picture of Kozilek, the Great Distortion. The leaker had been posting them on Twitter. Mark Rosewater: So why leak them? Pat Chapin: Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

I will say that the gulf between L1 and L2 comp is HUGE; a big part of the reason I pushed for L2 was so that I could afford to go to more events, farther away. At Quebec City as I mentioned I got $60 CAD and three boxes for three days of judging, that's it. I was L1. At Pittsburgh, where I was L2, I got $300 and 4 boxes for 2 days judging. I stayed with some friends so the hotel room costs were $70 to me, total, and I brought food from home to eat. Carpooled with a friend so I just paid him $30 for gas.

http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/news/statement-concerning-recent-suspensions-2015-12-21quote:The people suspended were members of a private group receiving stolen confidential information about upcoming sets before this information was available in any public forum on the internet. This happened over multiple sets and well ahead of preview season for the sets in question. Viewing never-before-seen Magic cards in a private group — and not seeing these cards anywhere else on the internet — should be a red flag that the information you see is likely stolen. If you come across information like this, you should immediately report it to Wizards. Major leaks in the past have been prevented by other members of our community reporting similar situations to Wizards.

upheaval is a card that you don't just fire off when you hit 6, usually, you save it to cast it for the right moment, but then you win like 95+% of games where it resolves

it's unacceptably acceptable also, there is no way a card that lets you draw a card if you're hellbent for 4 mana is good enough for affinity; even if you have the mana to activate it that's your whole turn, and you can't afford to be not attacking with manlands

i like support being keyworded because it means things can mechanically care about it rare green creature, "whenever you support one or more creatures, draw a card" uncommon green creature "whenever you support, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature" uncommon white creature, "if you would support X, instead support X+1" (or however they'd template that)
