How about 69420? Or even just 420 by itself?

EDIT: Also, 80085

Oh right 80085 is also good. 42069 is obviously more powerful than 420, and the 420 should happen before the 69. Er I mean it sounds better.

Didn't report it? Or is this one of those states that are very liberal with guns? We had a guy get kicked out and banned from an LGS once because they were open carrying a gun. It's legal in that state but :lol: at feeling you need to bring a gun to a children's card game.

Miracles was my primary deck for years but I haven't played it for about a year now after the shops that did legacy FNM stopped running it. And I'd rather not play with the legacy grognards at the other shop that has weekly legacy events. :shrug: I have stoneblade and ANT if I cared enough to play legacy again.

Will Magic players stop to complain? I'm pretty sure they will not!

WOTC could also stand to gain support by supporting the people who play eternal formats only. I mean, that's more or less an LCG model. But apparently there aren't those of us who do that, even though I remember a substantial number of fellow college kids moving to that after standard was a garbage fire for consecutive years. :shrug:

Mana burn was a gotcha mechanic that really didn't add anything to the game. The only design space was used with that one card that gave you mana during each upkeep.

Is it possible to make another competitive deck that's like four horsemen with whatever new card you guys are talking about? Statistically will win sometime before the heat death of the universe, but you just don't know when.

So this is pretty widespread? I think I'll stick to MTGO for a while until I get better caught up on all the new rules and mechanics.

You'll get the typical reply of "depends on your local community" but yes this is very much widespread. Lots of dumb nerds try to play all sorts of gotcha games. The famous one was ~6 years ago when someone who can't read body language claimed that "staring" at your opponent automatically passes priority.

Sickening posted:

Lets put it this way, every store has at least one and it doesn't get better when bigger prizes are at stake. The better opponents, the better the angle shooting gets.

Owen Turtenwald for example got paired up against a few people I know at GP san antonio. They sit down and immediately owen yells "Judge". What was the reason for this judge call? Well, this...



Owen notices his opponent had this type of deckbox. Because a deckbox like this can hold two decks, he is concerned his opponent has more than his 75 in the box. Of course owen isn't really worried that this is going on but is hoping this is going on so he can get a free win. Just one of many silly angles you play because its free ev to do so.


I believe that the rules don't even allow this to happen this way anymore thank goodness.

I hope that Owen opened the other side and it turns out it was a jack in the box mox that punches him in the face.

Yeah, there's clearly a good intent for the rule. The problem and funny thing that was called out were pros who deliberately wanted to abuse the rule to get free wins.

Lottery of Babylon posted:

It's interesting which rules come with which default assumptions about intent. Show up to a multi-format tournament with two decks with different-colored sleeves, but didn't read the fine print about approved storage methods? Definitely intent to cheat there, game loss. Forgetting negative triggers, casting cards when you don't have quite the right colors available, letting your own permanents survive wrath effects, and otherwise playing sloppily with the rules in ways that somehow by sheer chance are always strictly beneficial to you? Just an honest mistake every single time, no penalty.

The "proving malice" line of questioning intent was always pretty wonky. The x-wing community is rightly up in arms because some cheater only got a game loss for cheating on camera at the highest level of play this past weekend while the same infraction happening elsewhere got 5-year or permanent bans.

I don't even know why they banned Alex Bertoncini. If his opponents didn't want to get cheated, they should have paid more attention. It's their responsibility since, after all, it's their game.
