Yeah, I know. I sold my Wastelands to re-buy them when EMA drops so I took myself off a ton of my decks at the moment. It's just crazy! My match 2 opponent was terrible as well. He went through tons of manipulation to try to find a 3-drop to counter my Clique and then later a Venser both of which were cast via Cavern...

Played Miracles in a League run, mirror match 4 out of 6 matches (had one nullified for a feature/bug issue). Go to run the Gauntlet... get Miracles. Sigh.

The March Hare posted:The worst thing about legacy gauntlet is absolutely the basic lands btw. I know, I almost puked. The upside to getting the deck I actually play is that I know the match-ups really well. Poor poor Lands guy... edit: pretty easy 3-0. First two matches were walkovers. Third match was tough, guy was a good player that got Shardless BUG, but I Blood Moon'd him out game 2 and 3. empathe fucked around with this message at 23:09 on Jun 8, 2016 |

They should 100% be using Unhinged Basics and Expeditions where possible.

Ran a second Legacy Gauntlet, got Punishing Knight. 3-0'd vs. all blue decks. Blue is clearly overrated. Match 1 vs. ANT Game 1: Opened w/ Chalice on 1 w/ a Mox Diamond, matter of time. Game 2: He Empty'd on turn 2 for 6 dudes, forgot to sideboard out Maze of Iths which actually saved me lol. GSZ's for a Scavenging Ooze and eventually stuck a Liliana. Match 2 vs. Shardless BUG Game 1: Wasteland locked him pretty hard on Loam. He scooped pretty early. Nothing like getting that Ancestral Vision with no lands in play, huh? Game 2: Stuck a choke on turn 3 after he Decay'd my Sylvan Library. Got a Liliana and Punishing/Grove up. He flooded after that and eventually got out from under Choke but at that point he was top decking. Match 3 vs. Sneak and Show Game 1: He forced by Chalice on 1 and eventually played a Show and Tell. I put a Knight into play. He drew 7 cards, discarded to hand size on his turn. I untap, play Liliana. He draws another 7 to find force, whiffs, and I have him sac and swing lethal with Knight. Game 2: He show and tells an Emrakul into play on Turn 2, I put in a Knight. Cast Containment Priest which sticks and Knight for Karakas and then bounce Emrakul. He blood moons, I chalice on 1. Clock him w/ the 4/4 Knight and Priest while he hopes for Blue Mana (which he took himself off of). GG ez QP ez 30 fun points.

Skyl3lazer posted:So Miracles lives through the B&R. I really wish WotC did justification paragraphs on "No changes" the same way they do on the bans and unbans. Please don't kill Miracles. The issue is bad players / slow toppers, not power level.

suicidesteve posted:Can anyone tell me why people are bringing in Surgical against me playing Death and Taxes? I mean besides the obvious answer that MTGO players are just really, really bad. I've had 2 people do it this week. Surgical is just a fun card and lots of people like jamming it as a "gently caress your 4 of" card but yeah it's not great vs. D&T. I guess it's semi legit if they really can't deal with Wasteland?

Tim Raines IRL posted:wait what? I assume that if there are paradigm changes they'll find a way to port stuff over / cash people out, or there would be mass mutiny. All of the value is either in redemption for paper which they only do for the new sets or secondary market. If their new thing kills either, value of digital cards will crater and go bye bye. Wizards themselves won't cash people out at what the cards are "worth" because those are secondary market prices. I cashed out because I couldn't risk losing all that value. I miss it but I like that money more. If I'm wrong I can always buy back in. If I'm right, I dodged a bullet.

Tim Raines IRL posted:do you have more information on "the new thing"? I realize WoTC has been braindead about MTGO for years, but if they really replaced MTGO with MTGO 2.0, and did not port over the collections of existing users to the new app, it seems like they would instantly lose a lot of their heaviest users. Unless the new app is really standard-oriented only and doesn't have the legacy/vintage card set, in which case they would lose a lot of those people anyway. Basically everything that evilweasel said. I had like 5.5k in the system and sell price and while I'm happy to sink cost in to play, I'm way happier to be able to cash out and get that money back while WotC figures out what the gently caress it wants to do. Again, if they don't gently caress it up, I can always buy back in.

Tim Raines IRL posted:I disagree only because of the optics. When they eventually unveil whatever new thing is, they will need people to feel okay about buying boosters and buying into a collection. If they burn their bridges with people already invested in the current platform, I would assume that consumer confidence in the viability and wisdom of "investing" in the new app would be hurt significantly. That assumes that the new platform/game/version would have a secondary market. Hearthstone doesn't. All the money in that game goes straight to Blizzard. I would tend to agree that they shouldn't end up doing a scorched Earth move, but they are also trying to make the most money possible and there's probably some lovely Excel doc somewhere that decides if they are going to burn everyone or not.
