They went after 'very few people' because they were the ones they coulddirectlylink to the source of the leak. You are trying to say that they 'persecuted'this group because they couldn't ban everyone on reddit? Are you off your meds? Great to see you bring the same hyperbole to MtG...

Are you still drunk from Christmas eve? Your questions don't even make sense.

Just ignore that WotC talked about the difference between public and private dissemination of spoilers.

Daily quest win 5 tavern brawls? Don't mind if i don't.

On the other hand, I've yet to see any of the punished folks respond to the spoilers since March fact that has been stated by WotC. It's a lot harder to claim 'I thought they were fakes' when there had been previous spoilers leaked to your chat group beforehand.

So Bergerot did a podcast with one of the 3yr suspended dudes. She confirmed again that there had been spoilers leaked in that group since March. Judge Apps is back up but the dude posted some huge screed about how sour he is with WotC.

This brawl is the fucking worst.

I understand what you are saying Heylel and apologize if I came across overly hostile. I was in the midst of dropping a bunch of mmr in dota2 last night. The 80% in the 80/20 you talk about is not invisible to WotC though, and if their market research shows that spoiler season is an important...

I don't think I've had any particularly bad interactions with judges. I guess my irritation is with the excessive importance competitive play types put on their way of playing MtG. You see it all over the reddit discussion over the leaks and now the bans. Bergeot posted a statement from...

Referring to L1s as 'shop barnacles' tells me all I need to know about the higher level judges.

Judges make $300 - $600 a weekend? That can't be true. They all do it for the love of answering rules questions and handling result slips.

Is teleport still the meta? I'd think that would really hurt her if she can't TP in and get shit done because of her needed setup time.

The people who control Organized Play = WotC. Don't fool yourself into this narrative please.

Finished series spoiler

I judge for fun. Then I bitch on the internet incessantly. Seems weird.

You know this because the RC told you? Because as we all know, WotC doesn't comment on specifics.

I just got done will post more when we get a critical mass that have finished it.

I'm at episode 3 and cannot click your spoiler, but I'm pretty hooked.

It's a function of SCG being the only org doing a professional cast. Trying to think of folks they've had in before, I wouldn't mind seeing Shaheen Soorani do coverage again.

Guess Sumail didn't get the notice and first blood'ed the dude.

Iceiceice on the couch.

Yep, Brian Kibler, confirmed moron. Good to see there is no topic you won't exaggerate and move the goalposts on a_skeleton_03.

You were the guy who said it was a fallacy. I was just using an anecdote from a Hall of Famer who made the same error when learning the game.

Kibler literally told the story on stream the other day that when he started playing MtG he thought colorless was any color and used Sol Ring to make BB, UU, whatever.

Ooze makes sense if you are seeing Aggro Shaman. Doomhammer has to be answered. Sticking Jaraxxus up the nose of these Control Priests is ultra satisfying.

It's cleaner though. The (1) a Sol Ring taps for and the (1) in the cost of a Grizzly Bear aren't the same thing even though they use the same symbol.

It clarifies the rules for new players. Seems to be the main goal, with the Eldrazi design element for this block being a side benefit.

What rank are you/Amaz playing at? I peaked at like 10 so far this month and it's a lot more aggression than control for me.

The super greedy deck should be getting assraped by Aggro Shaman, Zoo, Egg Druid etc but it's depressing when someone goes over the top of you. Playing x2 Thoughsteal right now seems insane to me.

I dunno Beagle but I played against Froggen and EternalEnvy today possibly?

I tried it too, same experience. I assume I'm not mulligan'ing correcty. Also not on the whitelist.

More importantly, what kind of psycho did I just run into that is playing Priest with double Thoughsteal in this meta???

Is Hearthstone Deck Tracker the specific program you've used? I know there's a lot out there but haven't run one yet. Any recommendations?

Xian v Keoma was sick.

More importantly, when he Finley'd how did he pick Shaman power over either of the other two?

Sure paladin is annoying but the meta is shifting with new cards. Control got a big boost with Reno so wouldn't expect any nerfs anytime soon.

It's the hard role/lane forcing that Riot has embraced as it's design philosophy. There's no way the games can be as diverse because the champs are created in smaller design spaces. Both moba's but hugely different dev choices. If you are a MtG player, Dota2 is Vintage and LoL is Standard...

He's a wackjob. Managed to get himself banned from the LoL subreddit, decided to start writing articles about the mods there and then got himself a sitewide reddit ban. He continually rants about the 'esports bullshit' he has to put up with when that's his actual job as a reporter. It's like if...

What's the best lockdown vs Ember?
