Magic: The Gathering,GO TEAM MS!

[Espeonage]

Played Esper. For some reason all the poty peeps were playing sunday. Went 2/2

I got a terrible pool of cards. Weighted Pack has UB command, which was k and popped a crux which was also nice, but then I didn't get a single blue or Black bomb in the entirety of my cards, not even an overly expensive one. Had to get in White for any board presence, because I thankfully got Exemplars so I had something to do. So I basically played a 1 trick pony half control, half auras deck.

Surprised I managed to go 2/2 tbh.

[Debonair Danny DiPietro]

Also I have now acquired enough planeswalker points this year to have a bye at all GPs I attend next year.

[Natirasha]

Went to Sunday prerelease. Took Kolaghan, played infiniteremoval.dec again.

Got first again, won eight packs woo. Opened foil Dromaka's Command, Thunderbreak Regent and Collected Company.

I need worthy opponents in sealed.

[Espeonage]

Can anyone recommend some wipes in jund that aren't $80.

Playing a metric fuckton of ramp with infinite mana combos so while not as awesome I am cool with expensive (casting cost) options.

[bv310]

Bonfire of the Damned, Blasphemous Act, Black Sun's Zenith, Plague Wind, In Garruk's Wake, and Comet Storm are the ones that come to mind right away.

[Natirasha]

Lavalanche. Bonfire is probably the best one, though.

I passed my L1 Judge exam today

[Sudo_Nym]

What is the interaction between a Sharuum the Hedgemon, a Sculpting Steel, and an unladen swallow?

[diginova]

What's the correct call if said unladen swallow picks up the cards and flies away?

[bv310]

Is the swallow African, European, or Innistradian?

[diginova]

Ravnican.

[Espeonage]

With the new tucking rules in EDH. Can you still perma exile?

[PeregrineV]

Grrrr....I'll solve this.

Solve which? The copy thing? If you don't believe the rest of us, load up MTGO and try it in a solitaire game, or go http://chat.magicjudges.org/mtgrules/ and ask the judges in JudgeChat.

I mean digging through the comprehensive rules understand how/what/where.

I started it, then got sidetracked by pre-release, but I think if I assign any and all effects/changes as effects that temporarily change a card (instead of thinking it's a permanent change like I fell is implied) then layers work fine, and I get it. I think I still disagree with it, but I get it.

I don't know if it's gotten better but I can tell you as a judge that I absolutely hate it when someone says 'it works that way online.'

I hate it too, but this case is one where he can easily prove or disprove his own belief by checking in the client, instead of arguing with us. Also, depending on how recently you were on MTGO, it actually has gotten a lot better (mostly in the past year. They've done dick-all about actually making the client look nicer, but they've fixed a buttload of backend issues and made it function way more consistently.

It's not arguing. I respect people in this thread enough that I bother asking for advice and rules clarifications and stuff like that. If I question an answer, it's because I need more explanation because I still don't get it. (I may get that it is that way, but I like to know the WHY).

[PeregrineV]

No one at my shop got the Foe-Razer Regent promo. I got the closest with 18 points.

I think the shop owner was wrong on the rules, though, because instead of the composite total of both throws, she took the best throw out of two?

Friday night, followed the rules. Saturday followed the rules. Sunday, I think was pure generosity if anyone cared to try at that point.

This is a great way to think about it. Anything that's not printed on a card and isn't a characteristic-defining ability(that's a good thing to look up in the Comp Rules to try to understand this too) is a temporary effect. So are abilities that cards give to themselves if they're not CDAs.

Was sent this by someone in my casual group.

Interview with WotC about the state of Modern: https://youtu.be/gYrslokS2Ac

[bv310]

That guy's laugh is hypnotic.

[Natirasha]

Drafted UW Narset at FNM tonight.

This just in--Icefall Regent, Narset and Brutal Hordechief are good!

Got first, opened shit.

[Natirasha]

I'm having flashbacks to Resto-Tusk with this stupid GW devotion deck.

[Espeonage]

Back in that Standard I was the dick playing Closet (Tusk, Slime, Prog Mimic) with Ramp and blue just so I could run simic charms and Tamiyo's to get far enough to start going nuts and beat the resto-tusk decks.

On the note of Standard metas, I have no idea what's happening in the net back world, but currently I am trying to find a standard deck I like that I want to be serious about building. The pre-reqs are that it has to be fun, a little quirky and buildable without spending hundreds.

I've been mucking around with Big Butts control (Sultai Assault Formation) but it's going to be both expensive to build and has a really rough time against midrange (Both Temur and Abzan) if it doesn't get a perfect draw. And it is hurt a bunch by hand hate. However if I can't find anything better I might still go for it.

What I was thinking, which could be hilarious fun is mono white devotion, built around Myth Realised and a bit of a white control shell. White has a bunch of good tricks at the moment so I can protect my board otherwise I would just lose to enchantment hate post board.

I'm not looking to win every game, I'm just looking to have fun.
(btw buy your playsets of Myth Realised now before Theros phases out and people stop packing so much enchantment hate.)

We had a draft and Wrestlemania 31 watching party last night. Didn't pull anything spectacular, but ran white/red and dash was a winner.

Also, Outpost Siege and Sprinting Warbrute were totally awesome.

[Natirasha]

Sprinting Warbrute is disgusting and I still can't believe it's a common.

Red gas two lava axes at common! And they other have upside!

I agree that Sprinting Warbrute and Seth Rollins are totally awesome.

[Natirasha]

I know it's come up before, but the new Kill Review on Return to Ravnica is one of the best explainations of the disenfranchisement I(and other enfranchised players) have with Magic as it is today.
