I'm a little sad. I've been a member since April 2001. Was a real prominent poster for awhile. Oh well.
I know what you mean. If it wasn't the Wizards forums, I wouldn't have been nearly as addicted to MTGO as I was in college (2003-2007). When their Magic Online forum started to die, that was the beginning of the end of MTGO for me. The lack of other people/interaction on the forums carried over to MTGO, and I just lost interest in both.
so whats the difference between him conceding and him playing fog?
Presumably, if someone is playing Fog, they still have some intent of winning the game, whereas conceding by definition allows for no such possibility.
That's weird, and probably my fault. I flagged it about a week ago because the price was too high--I forget what it was, but I want to say it was about 4000? It must have dropped afterwards, but I forgot to check back. Didn't think the price would shoot up afterwards.
Yeah, but think of how many people would be excited to get their Commander deck for basically free after buylisting the fetch for all/most of the price of the deck once they finally get their hands on one.
The clash pack will have a combined decklist of half Armed cards and half Dangerous cards, which is the version you should use if you're playing at FNM.
How casual it is depends on where you go, to be honest. There will likely be some number of people who play larger tournaments and have fully-powered Standard decks, but not always. It's more laid back than most weekend tournaments, in my opinion. No real guidelines to follow, other than making sure that you show up prepared to play the correct format (ie, don't bring a Standard deck only to find out they play Modern).
On average, you should be able to have fun with the Clash Pack. You won't win the whole tournament, but you should be able to at least take a match or two.
Cantor and BTE both fail because producing red mana in addition to green allows an infinite loop. Valleymaker might work, but I don't remember if we have an adequate supply of Forests to work with.
Indeed it is. Baby's the healthiest baby boy you'll see, but my wife hasn't been so lucky, unfortunately. She came down with something resembling pneumonia a few weeks ago, her heart and lungs had difficulty keeping up with everything, and she's been in and out of the hospital since then. Things have been stressful, but thankfully our families are helping out a great deal.
As the proud father of a two-week-old son, I hear you guys. Not being able to go to GenCon this year is a buzzkill, but I know there will be plenty of time for that in the future...and I can't wait until Jacob's old enough to do things like that and I'll get to see it through his eyes.
> Mageta had a few tournament appearances and has gone on to be a Commander staple.
"Commander staple" is a...generous description, at best, for the 32nd-most-popular mono-white commander that's in fewer Commander decks than Alexi's Cloak.
Looks like they're up now. I was able to add an Expedition card as a test to my haves list, and a match came up when I looked at the Wants screen.

Given the type of decks that play cards like this, not being an artifact is usually a downside. Can't fetch it with Trinket Mage, for instance.
Those appeared in packs with the same frequency as current-day large-set mythics, so nothing moving to purple would be a downgrade.
Not in Modern.

Of course, Fat Packs only had 40 lands back then, so there's no guarantee they'll do it again at 80.
