I'll play and probably mull a bunch and drop. I can play on MTGO if people are willing to pretend that my ghost quarters are Ports.

6) Tim Raines IRL vs suicidesteve

So this is a really bad week for me. I'm pretty much only available after midnight EST for most of it thanks to 4/6 of our people at work not actually being at work. And of course Saturday I go in at midnight.

Tonight after midnight will probably be best if you're on a normal schedule, or I'll try to make time Friday night before I go in. Saturday night also might work?

Pithing Needle out and turn off Food Chain.

I would advise against this. Unless you're in paper and your opponent is bad, then have at it!

as a food chain player I highly recommend my opponents play pithing needle and name Food Chain

(food chain is a mana ability, my dudes)

But it's still a legal name! And if your opponent is bad and doesn't know how cards work maybe they'll stop using it. It worked for me in modern once with Mox Opal.

Eldrazi loses again, this time to Lands, because of a bad pilot of the deck land denial. I still didn't think I'd need Wastes, and now for a second time I've been proven wrong.

Also, thank you little munchkin for being patient with me while I play slowly, as I played with one hand and held a mostly screaming 6 week old in my left arm.

Condolences. In the first legacy goon league I had the pleasure of playing RUG Delver against Death and Taxes while holding my ~2-month-old who hadn't yet gotten used to being home alone with me while my wife was at work. It was unpleasant. Luckily I drew Sulfur Elemental and 2 lands in game 3 so it was over pretty quick.

Rogue and I drew before playing. Then when it randomly decided I was done with my game most of the way through an insane game 2, we drew again because screw it. I can definitely confirm Xmage is acting really weird.

Aside from randomly being kicked out partway through a game 2, it was a really good match with a lot of interesting decisions. Even though I lost the die roll AGAIN. #never lucky

So uh. A guy I work with apparently died today so I'm probably going to be working 16 hour shifts until Tuesday, have one day off, then I'll be on 4-midnight for 5 days so it might take me some time to be able to play my match. I can probably do Tuesday and later after midnight EST.

Also I'll be on the play :smuggo:

The earlier end of that is actually probably fine later in the week. I feel like it's my duty to eliminate you though, to avoid any further wonky time stuff.
