fadam posted:I feel like this thread and maybe Magic players in general overstate how badly “feelbads” affect new players (see: bouncing Oring effects, protection, hexproof). I don’t think WotC should be designing the game to appeal to the incredibly small minority of crybabies who have a bad/annoying thing happen to them in game then quit forever over it. Agreed. Designing around that sort of stuff seems like it has made Magic more shallow over time. One of my favorite things about the game is all the interesting lines of play that open up as you learn like Oringing your own permanent to dodge a wrath or flickering it to permanently remove something. Now all those effects are designed to only target opponents and don’t let you pull any instant speed bounce shenanigans which is boring and lame.

Commander rules. There’s a ton of variety in decks and lots of interesting interactions since the card pool is so deep. There can be balance issues but if everyone has at least some answers the table can keep the more powerful decks (or whoever lucks into a T1 Sol Ring) in check. With commander you really have to be in it for the experience of the game not the end result. That makes it both the best and worst format depending on if you can find people that want the same experience as you (cEDH, Mid-Power, Battlecruisers, drink beer and talk to your buddy when you’re supposed to be taking your turn, etc).

If I were her opponent I’d have appealed the ruling too and would have been pretty indignant about her accusation. I know she just chose a bad spot to push back after feeling like she’d be taken advantage of previously and was embarrassed about it after the fact but it sounds like she just isn’t really in a good place emotionally to be playing competitively. People can be huge dicks in competitive play and I’m sure it’s even worse if you’re a lady.

odiv posted:I mean that attitude would just probably result in fewer women participating because they often get treated poorly and aren't "in a good place emotionally to be playing competitively". I mean the ideal solution would be to only have friendly and honest players in tournaments but I doubt that will ever happen. Personally I do not play games I don’t enjoy so if I were her I’d either stick to my guns and keep pushing back at people or just play more casual events. I used to play MOBAs pretty often until I realized I only had fun 50% of the time at most so now I either just play with a few friends who want to goof around or I choose a different game. It sucks that some communities are so toxic they ruin the experience but it is what it is.

fadam posted:She should absolutely push back at people who are being awful, and SCG/WotC should back her up 100% (for example: banning the guy who kept flaming her on Twitter after their game), but I think in a competitive environment there should be a reasonable expectation that you can keep your emotions in check until the game is over. I can only imagine how I’d feel if someone implied I was cheating, demanded a reroll, and then burst into tears and conceded after I appealed a judge call. I completely agree, that dude harassing her on twitter should have been DQed for that if not suspended as well.

It sucks that people abuse inside info and buy out online stock to jack up prices but I feel like it was so much worse in the pre-smartphone days when MTG Finance was just ripping off children. Of course back then the hottest card in a set was $20.

Yawgmoth posted:I really want to know how they come up with these numbers. It would be very interesting to know how they define a player in this case, how they get the data for these players without them ever going to an event, how they know that these people are still playing/purchasing, and how they avoid duplication. Like if I go buy a fat pack from Target because I got a gift card there, then buy a couple packs off the rack at Walgreens because they're on sale and I found $5 on the ground, then go play at FNM at my LGS, am I getting counted as a player three times? And if so, does only one of these count as "player who makes it to organized play" since it's just the one purchase tied to my name? Or are they just making some extremely broad assumptions about purchases made at X store over Y store and extrapolating from volume? I assume they can tell based on how many lovely precons and core set theme booster packs they sell at Walmart.

There is just no way they signed off on Winota + Agent as reasonable gameplay. If they test cards even a little they surely did a Ctrl+F for Human to see what Winota can grab.

Interrupting the secret lair sale for today is the only thing that makes them seem legit. I don’t get why everyone jumped on them for featuring black community members on Twitter but delaying a video game patch is some grand gesture. Entropic may well be right considering they pushed the MTGO patch a day early while the Arena one is still TBD.

I get banning Invoke Prejudice because wtf how is that card even real but banning a bunch of other cards for being potentially problematic to someone somewhere is moronic (especially in lieu of WotC doing anything real to combat racism).Reene posted:Except it's not, and incorporating real-life prejudices into cards is actually pretty lovely, particularly for players who might be subjected to those prejudices. White being good and black being evil absolutely is a core part of the game and a wide spread fantasy trope. If people are bringing their own prejudices into the game and associating the color pie with IRL races that says more about them than it does Magic.

fadam posted:Not a lore guy, but wasn’t the bad guy in Theros white? I’m not really into lore either so I’ve got no idea but that rings a bell. Over time they’ve expanded the design space for white and black so that it’s not always a moral dichotomy. It would be boring to make white the lawful good paladin every time. Maybe I'm just biased because I started playing as a kid and at the time white was healers, soldiers, unicorns, pegasi, rebels etc. and black was necomancers, skeletons, ghouls, demons and similar traditionally evil stuff. It's more nuanced in some sets nowadays. LeafHouse fucked around with this message at 01:41 on Jun 11, 2020 |
