MTG Salvation

Why are nacho and Tammy both on the same team. I can only be in a game with one of them.

@Katie Do you currently play Magic Online? If not, why not? It meets all the requirements you have. Standard deck prices are in the low hundreds. Cards are tradable and salable so it costs much less than the sum of the individual decks you buy/trade into. Leagues exist for playing with prizes on the line, or if all you want to do is play casually, you can play for free as much as you want in the Open Constructed area. I see you have a Hearthstone background, but why wait for Arena when Magic Online provides everything you're asking for?

MTGO is not free to play. It also costs $10 just to get an account. Simply put I'm not going to spend money to use a program that is horrendous when all other card games on the market are free.

C'mon people. You know you want to play this game. Neighbourhoods make everything so much better. You can be a simple vanilla and still do stuff at night.

I'm wondering if I'm losing my interest or if MTG just gets worse. Eldritch Moon kinda sucked, too. I was just interested in Emrakul and Liliana, but the set had nothing else to offer.

And I'm so sick of awful mythic rares worth less than some uncommons and seeming really weak. Back then when mythic rares were introduced (Shards of Alara), they seemed so cool and powerful at first sight.
They looked like cards you really wanted, representing the flavor of their planes.
Now, I think mythic doesn't even need to exist anymore. Cards like Hangarback Walker for example are rare, while utter trash like Behold the Beyond is mythic.

This is perfect evidence that no matter what WotC does, people will whine. Everyone endlessly complained about how mythics were supoosed to be big splashy timmy cards, not spike two drops that would be outrageously expensive, and now we're complaing about the exact opposite and saying it's a reason MTG is getting worse. They can't win.

The mythic rarity was a mistake since the beginning. All these complaints have in common that mythic rarity is dumb.

It probably sells more packs though, because young Timmy buys a booster and goes like "Whoa I got a super mythic ghost rare shifted thing. This game is amazing."

Guys I think I'm going crazy.

The card has the word nonlegendary on it. Why is everyone talking about the Legend rule?

Also this card doesn't work with [Wirefly Hive]. There is no interaction.

It might seem weird on the Surface but take into account that with LSV, Finkle and Brad Nelson in the Top 8 (two of whom aren't even Platinum pro's.) and the twitch viewing figures where 12,000...

for those Bad at Maths that works out to $7.50 per viewer for probably the most stacked top 8 of all time.

It's obviously bad business and the attitude of certain Pro players have not helped either. In fact not just certain, I would say that at least half are either rude, obnoxious or just plain Invisible when it comes to the community and really that's what they are being paid for.

Maybe if they fixed the stream to make it actually viewable more people will watch it. I cannot understand a thing that's happening on stream, because the quality is so bad.

Ancestral Vision is probably going to increase in value.

I'm not sure if Sword of the meek and Thopter Foundry have a chance against the meta game.

It's cheating because the definition of cheating according to the DCI only require the advantage to be perceived. Cheating is a real OR perceived advantage. Mana-weaving is done to increase the quality of your hands/draws (by removing mana screw/flood, for example) weather or not it does that is irrelevant: You're trying to gain an advantage from outside the game, and that's cheating.

Based on this, if I show up with my favourite ring and show up at a tournament and I think I get better draws while wearing it is it considered cheating?


This is just another reason why the DCI rules are completely bonkers.

I really hope that in whatever way wizards ends the story it won't end up disappointing.

I really enjoy the speculation. It's really well thoughts by Wizards to make everyone interested in the story.

I'm also going to /out for now due to my surprise advancing in the MU Champs.

I think you're being a little over the top.

I'd rather ban Post Restrictions than force players to play with a player that is post restricting.

You have to take a step back and think about what this is.

Players express they don't like X behavior. I really don't care if its PR, toxicity, Gif posting.

Player Y continues to do so against all other players expressed wishes.

Players go to mod.

Mod has to ????

Either
A) Mod replaces the player doing X behavior, because clearly the player doing X behavior isn't going to stop.
BUT that player isn't really breaking any rules. So, that doesn't seem fair.

B) Mod replaces the rest of the game. Yeah, just no.

C) Mod does nothing so players lynch them because they don't want to deal with it.

Really what you are trying to do is enforce having fun. Player Z doesn't like player D for posting in Gifs. Player Z is the only player in the game that has a problem with it. Should player D be forced to stop? I'd say no.
Six players have a problem with player D in a 16 person game. They are a minority. Should player D be forced to stop?

At the end of the day you have to recognize something.

Players made it clear to you they did not like you posting in PR. You made the active decision to tell an entire game to go **** themselves by continuing to post that way. The only thing that would have happened here is that if players were forced to talk to a moderator first, the moderator would have told you to stop or be replaced out.

Players solved it by lynching you. You didn't respect peoples opinions and you decided to continue the way YOU wanted to play.

Like what can you possibly see as a way out of this? I see no way in which the moderation comes out in your favor in scum loves the king.

I can't recommend enough using the desktop version of the site while on mobile devices.

EDIT: We're also looking at more like tomorrow (Sunday) for launch as one of our mods is out of town. Sorry for the delay!

[quote]I also recommend letting each team have 1 swap between games that can only be used on D1.

I know this is something MS has done, but I'm not really sure what it adds other than people trying to guess who swapped out of rolling scum.

I think it's been pretty commonly used in the case of personality conflicts.

Glad they broke out their old flip phone for these pics

Please play here soon Gemma!
