Maybe Blood Dragon is Skred? That's a deck that generally will have Stormbreath Dragon and Blood Moon. I also see one copy of "White Blue Aggro" which I bet is the Hatebears deck that beat Owen on stream yesterday.

Today's Saffron Olive video is either trolling or he's getting to Kevin Crimin levels of not reading the cards or even attempting to pronounce them correctly. Match 2 in the Emeria deck video features "Sky Husser" vs. "Sierra Ascendant."

Apparently at some point recently Wizards instituted some auto-filter for swears in the MTGO chat but it also carries over to the game log. And the list of words they censor is weird. So now "The Rack" is "The ****" and Chief of the Edge of all things is "***** of the Edge."

Frank Lepore's got videos of the BR Eldrazi deck in Modern today and it's just a super sweet deck.

When you are Tron and they take your Ghost Quarter from exile with their Oblivion Sower and use it to break up your Tron, that's being hoisted by your own petard.

Trying to play Magic Puzzle Quest, finished Nissas tutorial and it tells me to go to the vault for my free booster. But the only ones there, I have to pay for. I can't go anywhere else in the game until I claim my free pack, which isn't there or isn't free. Anyone else have this problem?
I assume it just means it gave you the points to buy whatever one you're supposed to buy. Just pay for it, you get enough points for a booster after each story battle you win.

Also, I have put all my points into leveling up Chandra rather than buying packs and the game is very easy because she gets "deal 2 damage to a creature" activated ability allowing you to remove most creatures without spending a card. And it levels up later to 3 damage.

Google Translate's photo thing says the Russian rare land is "Tap, pay 1 life: add 1 mana of any color, use only to cast Devoid spells" or I guess it's probably "colorless"

LSV's stream, Cube:
Opening hand all artifacts including Metalworker, Staff of Domination, and Mishra's Workshop
Turn 1, play Workshop, tap, turn passed due to F8 bug
Turn 2, play Metalworker, opponent taps out to play Baleful Strix
Turn 3, play Staff, go off with infinite mana, play Sundering Titan, blow up opponent's lands, draw a bunch of cards, play a few more spells like Inkwell Leviathan, play Mindslaver, activate Mindslaver

In response, opponent cast Brain Freeze off of mana floated when Sundering Titan came down and won. LSV figuring out how to file for reimbursement because he should have won on turn 2.

which guy

is it the guy that plays affinity and whines when people don't let him just go off?
his name is Chris O. and he's loud and obnoxious and he plays Infect and he has a Squirrel playmat with like 10 IQ Top 8 pins shoved into it like that's a particularly impressive accomplishment when Curio alone runs 3 IQs a month

Voyager I posted:

Is there any train of logic to that whatsoever or is he just an idiot?
The player that determines the Invitational token is the person that wins the Invitational, nobody else. So he's just really stupid.

I was at a pre-tq and my opponent on TarmoTwin let me resolve a T2 suppression field without cracking his fetch in response. The next two turns he just played two more fetches and frowned. Best game 3 ever.
Yeah the one game I won against Jund in the match was at least 50% from him putting a fetch directly into his graveyard on turn 2 after I dropped Arbiter, me going UHH and him going "oh, yeah I should have played that differently."

Hey rabidsquid or anyone else who likes Pauper, is this thing a good deck, because it kinda does everything I like in Magic and I'm considering buying it and trying to get into Pauper.
I don't know anything about Pauper but it has 14 recent finishes including multiple League 5-0s so I'd say it's good enough to be worth the $24 price tag.

My LGS just put up an announcement that due to the WOTC policy, they are no longer allowing proxies for their monthly legacy "duel for the duals" event. I won't be surprised to see a 20-40 person event trickle down to 6-8 people in 2 months when they cancel it for being unprofitable.
Is this Victory? That's pretty lame because the premise of that event was "give people a chance to win their way into a Legacy deck if they don't already have one."
