However they could have made the drafts nix tix, and while it likely wouldn't have been cheaper to do that, there is no way that a single person should ever enter with the 3 booster + 2 tix option. Ever.
Whatever they did during this weeks downtime has completely screwed up deckbuilding. It is nearly impossible to actually pile cards properly as cards will not move where you put them, unless you jump through like 4 hoops to move one card where you want it to go. It also makes drafting way harder as you cannot seperate out your creatures non-creature spells into the piles you want while you are drafting. It sucks.
Well we know that at least another week has passed, and another week of Wizards still not knowing what they did wrong to bork their server. On the bright side I did finally get my redemptions in the mail, after having to wait way longer than I should have due to them delaying it.
Whatever they did to fix the Gideon problem randomly added 6 Battle For Zendikar booster packs to my account, so... I have no idea what the heck was going on with it. I didn't get a Gideon, but I got 6 free booster packs somehow? Yay?
Joraga Invocation is apparently now Spirespine bugged. If you attack with flying creatures and a non-flying creatures, and your opponent does not have enough blockers for the flying creatures, the game bugs out and demands you block the flyers you cannot block, thus forcing a timeout loss. Origins limited just got super stupid assuming this bug isn't an isolated case.
Yeah, if you're lucky, the sum total of your chat interaction with your opponent will be around 5% of your games having the entire conversation be gg or ggs, and another 5% of the time its your opponent ranting and being super salty. The other 90% of the time there's no chat interaction at all. If it wasn't for scry, I wouldn't even use the chat window at all. I do want to know where my opponent put their cards.
I keep winning, so I can't quit, even though I only play once a day when I do. Cashing out my 2nd set of Origins, so maybe this is Wizards way of trying to keep me as a paying customer, by keep giving me money mythics? (7 Jaces I've opened so far).
It's still good practice, and as much as I hate V4 and I hate this next set, I'm gonna be on there practicing for GP Atlanta. I am happy to report that the lag hasn't been there the last day or so, but that doesn't really mean anything. The Wednesday downtime is just as likely to break something as it is to fix something.
The lag has been really bad lately, but its not after 3 hours of the program running, which has been happening due to the memory leak still present. No, the lag has been there from the moment I log on the last couple of weeks.
So they announced next months MOCS promo as Sword of Feast and Famine. I know its a 15 dollar card in paper, but its only an $8.37 card as of right now on MODO. What a terrible promo choice. There are other promo's they could have chose like Griselbrand, which badly needs a reprint on MODO without having to play terrible Avacyn Restored limited.
Phantom Queues are ripoffs for the simple fact they only pay out in play points. Often the limited queue is more expensive as a phantom queue than the actual event would cost with actual packs.
Well after failing to get here to the new site via Firefox, the mobile browser on my phone, the mobile browser on my 3DS, and Chrome, I finally got here via Internet Explorer. So yes, Internet Explorer did something right. So my favorite magic Card is currently Explore, since it reminds me of Internet Explorer, which I needed to even be able to visit this new slower loading MTG Salvation.
