But will there be Peter Dinklage.

Cycling's back again. Come on Astral Slide Reprint, one time!

Obviously it's a Fossil of anti-Patron design :)

We all know what will actually happen. Cursed Blade 6 turns in a row.

Ravnica prerelease promotion plains, for the sneaky.

You have to Freeze their face turn 1. It's about sending a message!

Because Ghost Quarter and Path to Exile are very commonly played cards in modern that have the drawback of letting the person you use them on search their deck for a basic land. So depending on which Colored Spell of Choice your version of Affinity is, having 1 basic of that type is a low-cost...

I feel like the Rogue Quest was specifically designed for DaneHearthstone's youtube channel. He has a shit ton of videos of Bran+Shadowcaster shenanigans.

Damping Matrix is the trollest rare in the set. It took the Set # Slot of Chalice of the Void/Crucible of Worlds, and I have basically no idea who it's intended for. It's not played in modern and barely played in EDH. As a rare, it doesn't provide any compelling "counterplay" to...

The most irritating loot as a Human Monk. Shit kept auto-equipping into my fist slots and stopping my attacks!

I seem to remember the first patch adding a candle to your newbie gear as a human. Life definitely got better once you managed to wrangle your first greater lightstone.

Daze for days!

I kept trying to split prize, but people kept thinking they were going first and had a better draft deck than me. They were wrong on the second point :). Miracle-ing Terminus against aggro decks is just as bullshit as it ever was.

Upside of being a teacher is having plenty of time for shit like this in the summer.

Prize support was 51 packs for first, +3 packs for the t8 draft, +6 packs for the entry pool, for $60. I think it was 3-4 packs into the t8 prize pool per player entry. Two stores work together to run the Lincoln PPTQ, so as far as I can tell they pretty much run it at cost or at a slight...

Foil Tarn, 3 Lilis, 1 Tarmogoyf, 2 Blood Moons, 2 Marsh Flats, 1 Misty, 1 Arid Mesa, 1 normal Tarn, 1 Damnation were the standouts from the prize support.

Maybe she thawed a little on the trip?

"This is a really crappy thing to do. There's no reason to single out someone at Bioware just because you don't like their work." Of course there's a reason. They do shitty work. The problem with the game's industry is that the shitters don't get called out enough, and that's why you have...

Took down our Modern Masters Sealed PPTQ today. Had a great R/G Tokens sealed pool, but my spider senses (and my midnight drafting experience) told me that R/G tokens is a horrible trap, so I avoided it by going 4 Color Blink with my 3 terrible Shimmering Grottos of Awfulness, my 4 signets, and...

See, THIS is tempting to play. Ain't nobody want to play EQ expansions past 2003. That's why they all quit in the first place.

Modern Masters drafts were fun. R/G Tokens, and to a lesser extent B/R Sacrifice feel like traps unless you aggressively hate draft away Cower in Fear. Watched those decks just roll over and die every time they ran into anyone who drafted what essentially amounts to 3-mana cost, COMMON, Wrath...

The *option*? Shit's gonna be mandatory for the plot.

Rating/Reviewing game is just more of the patriarchy's oppression. Bunch of white dudes mansplaining why a game is "bad." There are no bad games, only different experiences. ME:A just refuses to be what is traditionally defined as "good," because the foundations of that tradition is the...

A nice part of a non-"action combat," GCD, tab-targeting game is that you can basically test a bulk of your class/ability system as a tabletop system and identify shit that's not pulling its weight there. D% rolls like a man!

Banning fetches+blood moon after reprinting them in Modern Masters would be the supreme troll move.

Yeah, plowing 3 lands against a deck whose mana curve ends at 2 feels bad.

Plow Under'ing immediately after your opponent's Turn 3 was good times.

4 Mana Wraths, Non-Basic Land Hate so that it isn't so insufferably easy to play hyper-greedy 4+ color manabases, and solid sideboard-dwelling hate cards are all things I'd love to have back. Ghost Quarter, Pithing Needle, the middle-aged core set cycle of color-hate cards (Flash Freeze...

No banlist changes, which makes sense (and is preferrably to them knee-capping another 3-4 cards again). Amonkhet is 5 weeks away, and they've got Modern Masters Release Hype followed by Amonkhet Spoiler Season Hype to try to carry them to Amonkhet hopefully shaking things up.

I mean, the devs finally succeeded in pruning all the bits of the game they say "ruin Magic." Except it turns out the Magic that's produced without those bits? Pretty bad. But I wouldn't let that take away from your friend's win. Anyone winning a GP put in a lot of work (and probably...

Yeah, the new starting area looks like it was made by an intern. Shadowlands/Alien Wars starting zones were much better looking, and felt less like a corridor funneling you through.

Got to play Anachrony last night. Quality game, but I don't know how much replay it'll get. The density of decision-making (not really the complexity, most choices are relatively simple) piles up to make the game feel a bit taxing. I was the only one at the table who wanted to play anything...

If you don't buy a switch how will you catch the switch-exclusive pokermanz!?

Can definitely see Marsh Flats hitting $10 again.

This set is like Sam Stoddard asked "What if we reprint ALL the things?"

Making Kibler preview Bonfire of the Damned is pretty savage, WotC. Frank Karsten getting Stony Silence is pretty lulzy, too.

I must draft this set until I get Resto+Thragtusk. Added sweetness if Unburial Rites and Angel of Serenity are in.

Creeps was definitely a WoW introduction to the genre. Huge arguments over Mob VS Creep in trade/barrens chat back then :D

That and the duping bugs that were in beta and made it into live without fixes pretty much wrecked the economy right out the gate.

Depends on whether the modern masters run is as massive as the early rumors said. Prices will do their standard dip, then rise, but will take longer to rise based on how much product there is. You aren't going to get $12 fetches out of this like you did with Khans, but it should be a severe...
