dogsupremacy posted:What's the deal with gp and scg pricing vs payout. Especially the scg thing is rough when you look at total taken in vs payout but with these record attendance events something needs to change. I mean I get that you want to cover venue etc but when you consider that competitive magic is a non trivial product seller (wotc) and probably a primary driver for the secondary market in just suprised they can't up the prizes/hype. The EV is really rough not even considering travel or lodging. At least with my poker tourneys there is at least a chance for some of the optimism. Unlike the current situation of I need to top 8 this 700 person event to cover any trip that I can't drive to and crash at a buddies place. magic is a house of cards, they're all just trying to make out while they can

I think they're Nahiri's attempts at hedron-knockoffs (it took her and Ugin to make the hedrons on Zendikar) to channel leyline energy

There's a middle ground, obviously, but there's no way they don't just fart out dbz next time in 2018, Legends of Kamigawa featuring the return of Level up and DF Walkers. One of them has the flavor text "this isn't even my final form!!" ... i wish..

A sealed pool with two pack Thalias and a promo Thalia can't be the worst sealed pool, but oh boy did it try to be! At least I got a game where I kept a three Thalia, one land hand, and won when they sacced their board to Abbey thinking they had broken the stalemate. Sigardan Priest > Ormendahl

Balon posted:In addition, they're non-island sources of blue mana for the mirror. Believe it or not this can often be very relevant. Yeah, I won a semi-final match at a state tournament because, in part, my early mana base was Oboro, Minamo, and Mutavaults while they had Islands with their 'vaults. The rest was my opponent drawing more Lords of Atlantis while I hit Masters of the Pearl Trident. I have also gotten out of tricky mana spots/land blowouts (gently caress you Ajani) by bouncing Oboro

Count Bleck posted:The Merfolk mirror is not fun for anybody involved. It almost always comes down to "who dropped Lord of Atlantis first?" All Modern is varying degrees of luck after a certain point; the Merfolk mirror, like Burn, is just one of the situations where it's most transparent It wasn't even as bad as I made it sound, he was teching Skaab Ruinators played off Aether Vial, and I narrowly saved my rear end with Phantasmal Image
