I also signed up for pre-release and have never owned a magic card. I have completed the first 30 or so missions on the iPhone game though so I am all set to win the whole thing.

Come on guys. I said I played a bit of the ios game. I know the first rule is that if you are not happy with your first mulligan you just restart the match.

There's an iOS game? I hesitantly ask, is it any good?

Yeah magic duels. It's got about 60 single player matches and a full online mode with all the expansions from origins 2015 to aether revolt.

Hi and welcome to the pacific northwest where we may get one GP a year and scg explicitly pulled out.

Gotta get on the Pauper. There was a big tournament last weekend in Seattle and there is another one in 2 weeks in Bellevue. I watched a bit of it on twitch and it looked pretty fun.

There are a lot of seattle people in here. I might have to head out to Card Kingdom soon. As a new player I am really interested in the Amonkhet league they have starting Sunday night but it's kind of a far drive (Tacoma area) and it really isn't worth it if there are not a bunch of other people also doing it. I went to a few of my local shops and no one ever showed up during the event times to do it.

Lol my LGS got a warning from Wizards and is currently delisted on the site because they say the amount of people they are reporting for FNMs is too high for a new store. The last three weeks has been 16, 16 and 18 people. Apparently they are going to be contacting people asking them to confirm they were in attendance.

Everyone is, and as much as I hate seeing Wizards having to ban cards that should have never been printed. I think this one is going down. Temur Energy will still be a beast though.

Some how the stream video is like triple speed but the audio is normal. I'm so confused.

They are doing live commentary over a recorded match that wasn't shown previously while the next round gets set up.

It seems like making cards that drained or slowed energy gain would help a bit. Maybe even an effect that would make spent energy damage the player so missed spins would have a more of a downside.

Marshall seems like a good guy and I enjoy his commentary. The two they had hosing the GP in Amsterdam last weekend though were really entertaining.

Marshall gets points for last week when coming back from a break and seeing that the match on screen was going to be marvel said "nah let's get that out of here" and switched to a different table.

Does Magic have the same tendency as some of those comic book plots where they kill off a super hero for ratings only to revive them next episode (block)? I have a hard time believing he's gone for good, although I also half expected so see a gold masked Elspeth by now. Either way good loving riddance. I really would rather see almost any blue PW over him. Ashiok's time to shine?

Yes. We are joking because a sheet of rare Ixalan cards leaked this morning and there is a Jace Planeswalker card.

Well at least this leaked early enough that they can alter their marketing plans and don't have to proceed as if it didn't happen.

It does suck that the next spoiler week won't be till early January... unless you are really excited for commons.

So it looks like there will be a cycle of lands that taps for one mana source and can be cycled.
They showed a Forest that cycles for 1G ETB tapped. It was a common.

Looks like it's just for limited, since the mana requirement, lacking land type and cipt excludes it from being a thing for constructed, and pauper had the 1 mana cyclers already.

Yeah, they are all deserts and they have synergies with other cards. One creature they showed had "when attacking, target creature can't block if there is a desert on the battlefield or in the graveyard".
