    ^ My youtube channel, stocked with a couple hundred MTGO replays. A pop-up window comes up at the end of a replay telling you who won.

    Phantom events are stupid, but I can see how they would promote competition in draft formats. I love the idea of war marl style QP's.

  • posted a message on How Often Does the Daily Event Schedule Change?
    Actually, it is constant, it usually only changes for special events and introduction of new format.s I know because I've scheduled, with my wife, my 6:00 ISD Block DE every Wednesday and sometimes Sunday at 1. Been that way since October.

  • posted a message on Cost of Magic Online
    Copy/Paste from another post I made yesterday:

    I just thought.. um... someone might be interested to know this. I just got a crazy hair up my ass an ended up dropping just about $150 on pauper. That is, $150 got me a full playset of every card I could think that's ever really played in pauper ever. That's all the staples: Lotus Petal, Serrated Arrows, Daze, Gush, Invigorate, everything for Storm, Affinity, Infect, X-Post, Delver, Goblins, Burn, WW, MBC, Rats, Stompy and every other deck in the meta. And 24 of every MED basic land... for good measure.

    So... there you go Grin

  • posted a message on What should I do with my compensation coupon?
    I just filed for a ISD Block SE I was disconnected from with a 2-1 record going into round 4. They gave me a $7 coupon, so I figure $6 to cover my entry fee and $0.01 for every Spirit Token I had killed up to that point.

    If you really wanted to do something nice you could use it all and give a new player or 2 a booster pack.

    Oh sure man, just make the rest of us look like a**holes :p

    This is actually what usually happens. Happened to me during a draft. They gave me three packs but let me keep what I already opened.

  • posted a message on Curses evolving over the course of the block
    Quote from CrazyMike366
    Another course the development of Curses could take over the block is a creature that transforms to a curse when it would die. Might be a nightmare from a rules standpoint, but it makes sense from a flavor perspective - kill an innocent creature and comes back to haunt you as a curse that makes the game more difficult for you.

    I love the idea, and I don't think it would be a nightmare. Remember the old legendary flip cards that would start as a creature and flip into an enchantment? Those weren't too back, and DFC's are even easier, since each side is completely independant from each other.

    I have to agree with the MTGOTraders statement. They're pretty fast, offer good prices and will give you PayPal.

    Has anyone mentioned Nether Spirit? I think he'd be great in this block! Well, great fun anyway.

  • posted a message on MTGO: Foil Undead Alchemist makes foil zombie tokens
    Quote from MasPan
    I still don't quite get the point of having foil cards online other than showing off. They provide literally no benefit and look much worse.

    At least paper magic foils sometimes look pretty nice. Foiled Bonds of Faith looks fantastic (just the chain and some extremely small details are foiled).

    Well, if I had to make up a reason, if you collect a full foil set online you could redeem it for a full foil set on paper...

    That foil cards make foil tokens? I went so far as to blank my foil overlay. I hate foils.

    I hate foils so much I don't even use aluminum foil anymore... I use plastic wrap... baking becomes awkward...

  • posted a message on [DotP] New decks March to War/Ghoulkeeper on 11/16, more on 12/14 and 1/11
    Quote from Kaseladen
    Another week, another lack of update for the PS3..

    If there's one thing WotC is known for, it's their fantastic communication and customer service. I'm sure they'll give the community a little heads up as to why we don't have PS3 DLC yet, at least let us know they're working on.

    I mean it's not like they'd just let us sit in the dark for weeks right?

  • posted a message on Going from TP Room to Queues - How & When do you do it?
    How do you guys make time for DEs and balance work & family?

    Schedule it.

    I tell my wife there's only one event I can realistically play in every week, and that's Wednesday night at 6:00. That's my night. If I can get the incidental DE in at 10/11 over the weekend after the kid's gone to bed then great, and I have that one day set aside for me. It's just like when I used to be able to go to FNM. This is my new FNM. As long as I stick to that schedule everything is golden.

    It helps that my wife is also a gamer, so while she's off raiding late at night, I'm free to hop into whatever available events I'm able to stay awake for.
