mcmagic posted:Is there anyone who enjoys listening to Randy Buehler do commentary? Yeah I like his enthusiasm. I think he comes across as enjoying the game on a different level than any other commentator. Also I'm not bothered at all by his forgetting cards or whatever.

Niton posted:Cedric Phillips is the most enthusiastic commentator, and I don't think it's particularly close. Dude is a fantastic hype man, and i'm sure his heavy interest in pro sports helped make him as good as he is. I don't watch SCG that much, but I listen to Cedric's podcast. I definitely like him and would put him close to Randy in terms of enthusiasm. I'm not making GBS threads on Cedric at all, he's great.

Attorney at Funk posted:Would the LGS as it currently exists even be possible without the MtG secondary market? I recently moved, but my old games store was really diversified. They sold board games, many different card games, miniatures, comic books, food, and had beer on tap. It doesn't seem far fetched that much of their business would be able to carry on fine without the Magic secondary market. Vital Signs posted:Man, everyone who works at the shop I run tournaments at was torn about if we should do 2HG or not. We asked a sample size of regulars, 10-15 people, and most would rather play traditional pre-release sealed. Now that I'm seeing cards come out, I wonder if we should switch at least one day to 2HG. Pretty much damned if you do, damned if you don't feeling to it. Have you considered just letting them pre-register far in advance for planning purposes?

I played somewhat aggro, which I thought would be bad in sealed, but worked out well. Flying was absurdly good for me. I had Heir of Falkenrath, two Olivia's Bloodsworn, and Crow of Dark Tidings. Other MVP was Accursed Witch as my games were grindy and the drain effect helped a lot. I splashed for Arlinn Kord, but of course never drew it. Where do people sell their cards on SA? Is there still a thread in SAMart?

Sickening posted:I thought the sarcasm was obvious but goons say things like this. Yep, I didn't notice any sarcasm or humor.  I don't follow MtG social media very closely so it's possible I don't know an in-joke or something.This BR update is awesome! I'm excited to see if Thopter Sword is good enough to enable control. Also for the person who asked, Lodestone Golem is the second creature restricted in Vintage. Ali from Cairo was the first. However AFC was restricted at the start of the format, so this is the first time the BR update has been used to add a creature. Rukh Egg was also restricted back when it was just Magic before types one and two.

On a related note, I'm enjoying Craig Krempels' and Cedric Phillips' banter a lot this weekend. I enjoyed the Patrick Sullivan and Cedric Phillips combination too, but I like these guys more. Krempels is more funny and playful compared to Sullivan's crotchety and angry.

Sickening posted:I am sorry you feel that way but Sullivan is the greatest magic commentator that has ever done the job. I enjoy him a lot on Ced Talks and on commentary, I just don't think he's the best. To be fair he's probably the second best (in his prime) after Randy Buehler and Brian David Marshall combination. Edit: Also Patrick Sullivan reads the Economist.

Gridlocked posted:I'm sorry, did you just suggest Randy Buehler for a portion of "Best commentator"? I like it when the commentators are really enjoying themselves. Honestly there's no need for commentary for me (or most of this thread I'm betting). I'd like the setup to be either just a couple of friends having fun and joking or just player mics and no commentary. PhyrexianLibrarian posted:If you listen to him commentate on VSL he's great. The gap between his commentating skill on a format he cares about vs. a format he doesn't is huge. Yeah totally. He clearly enjoys Vintage very much and it shows. That's what I like.

Lancelot posted:can someone explain why mori conceded? twitch chat thinks mengucci is scum The reason that one of them conceded is because they're on the same team (and thus probably friends to at least some degree). A draw confirms neither of them makes the top eight. A concession is worth some amount of favor in the future to one of them. The reason that Mori conceded is unclear and we'll probably never know. Maybe they discussed ahead of time, maybe Mori agreed that Mengucci would have won if the game had played out.

I may be moving out there and want to know how much of my collection I should sell now vs. when I get there. I live in the South Bay and went to the SOI pre-release at Channel Fireball Game Center. It was a nice space, the people were cool, and fun all around. They have tournaments seemingly constantly.

How do y'all feel about this Vintage Cube version? I've only done a couple of drafts, but it feels less powerful and I'm not sure how I ought to be drafting it. I've got a couple of 2-1s, but it feels like both decks are really just 0-3 decks that I managed to get lucky with.
