Should be interesting to see what shenanigans get played at the SCG Open today. Followed by the attendant knee-jerk price fluctuations

So how long until the hackers bring down Kickstarter's servers.

He should heavily consider making an Offline-Only Game.

I will give them 5 of Soygen's dollars if they can provide the name of the Texture Guy responsible for Freeport 2.0, and assert that he's not working there.

EQNext, Mobile Cash Shop Evony-style game, with resources named Voxels instead of stone/wood/gold.

Prereleases have been a ton of fun so far. This set is so much better than BFZ in basically every way a Magic set can be. RE: Goryo deck, hopefully the rise of Eldrazi Processor decks with 6-8 Maindeck 1-drop graveyard-hate cards will hem that in. That is, if the processor deck is even...

Massacre Bonus is a One-Time EXP Bonus at the end of a Kill-Streak, it is not available in Rifts. The EXP you earn ranges from an additional 40% to an additional 300% of the *base* EXP you got from those kills, with the % increasing the higher your kill count is (capping at 300% bonus exp at...

Amusing. Commentators yesterday remark on Jeff Boohoogland always having turn 1 Birds. "He's a very powerful wizard." Judges give him a game loss in the top 8 today, for marked sleeves.

The most cost efficient way to sell-out magic collections is to not do so. Because if you do so, you've triggered the Universe's "Force Him To Play Magic Again At Some Point And Greatly Regret The Sell-off" subroutine. Cards rotting in your basement produce a miasma that wards off this effect.

Everyone's said everything about this "game" by now, so if you see a bump it's probably rehashing something.

mtgprice.com Is a decent place to get info on individual cards, and, handily, it will point you towards the "Buylists" that are currently paying the most for cards. Buylisting (selling directly to a card sales website) gets you less money than ebaying, but is generally faster, easier, and safer...

When a 6/6 Flying for 4 exiles my Library, it gets my attention. Oath is looking a lot more interesting than BFZ.

More armor needs fabulous feather-mantles.

Developing SOEMote to make the first Massively Multiplayer Online Blowjob Simulator would have saved SOE.

Played the new Eclipse Expansion a few times. Hot hell is the Time-Travel Race imbalanced. And not like, a predictable, compensatable level of imbalanced, but a completely random "Sometimes you just curbstomp everything with a completely explosive opener abusing free resources. Other times...

He's a head judge for major events, if I remember correctly, not your standard worker bee.

Picked the game up, time to pick two horribly non-synergistic classes without reading anything and miss-allocate all my points!

His 2-Box Bard Twists On In Our Hearts.

Obviously if the Judges all strike, then they'll just get the WOTC Coverage Team to Judge live on camera. It'll be glorious. They don't even know what half the cards in competitive modern decks do!

There are some heavy play ones up on TCGplayer for $200 if you don't care about condition

I don't trust WoTC's market research, it says there are more than a handful of "humans" that actually like Infect in EDH.

We pay our judges in a thin gruel comprised of booster-pack glue and shredded Prophecy commons.

WotC will apologize for nothing. They'll just shut up about it, and in 2 weeks we'll have previews weeks and the prerelease/release weeks and everyone outside of the affected stores will forget it even happened and all the internets ill-will will have vanished to be replaced with bitching about...

If only they'd had a Soygen Buck, they might have been able to produce something.

The dream job is to be put in some University Library's basement getting paychecks for archival work everyone else has forgotten you do, until the one day some lost Doctoral candidate wanders in looking for Letters written by Silvia Plath and you're like "Fuck yes I know where that shit is. I...

Two Master's Degrees, two Bachelor's Degrees. Bachelor of Education, Bachelor of Fine Arts (Writer's Workshop), Master of English, Master of History (Medieval/Renaissance) all relate to my teaching jobs. The degrees are also tangentially related to my work in game design, as I end up doing a...

And then the Midwest can get the Passtimes Games Circuit. "2 out of 5 Critics agree, it's mostly better than not having any Magic to play!"

We need Chris Pikula in the booth to mock people's play lines and call them bad players. Shit was fun. Also, Osyp Lebedowicz.

To be fair, they could get two howler monkeys to cast it and it'd still be better than Wizards' coverage.

Filters see a lot of EDH play. EDH has a lot of 2-4 Mana-Symbol cards that you need to power out in a multicolor deck. The filters are better at enabling a deck to pay an [R][R][R] spell one turn, then a [U][U][U] and [W][W][W] spell on subsequent turns than a normal bi-color land. They're...

Whole bunch of spoilers for OGW: Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet Somebody's gettin fired.

Amusing watching the internet melt down after Wizards confirmed the Colorless Mana Symbol change.

The +2 Dexterity really helped with my Move Silently checks.

DK felt kinda clunky at the start of WoD, but then they had that patch where they massively boosted the effectiveness of Haste (further devalueing it since you basically don't need any actual pieces of haste gear to reach reasonable resource gen, which was amusing), which made it feel a lot more...

To be fair, it's the Halfling starting zone, so... RiverVale.

Real men play the way the MTG Learn to Play Rulebook from the first box-set told you to... all of your cards in a single row, none of them stacked on top of each other, no re-arranging after play. Fuck board-state comprehension!

Now they need to add Tier Sets that aren't class-based and go Diablo 2. Equip 4-Piece, obtain Chaos Bolt on your Rogue FOR NO GOOD REASON.

I'm turning 30 tomorrow, so probably going to be trampled to death.

The rule is only for on-camera matches. Outside of feature matches, you can arrange your lands in a pentagram and sacrifice baby hamsters before your draw step if you want.

I know I fuck up draft/sealed picks/builds way less on MTGO than I do in live events. Having the entire pack/pool laid out in front of you during the decision making process, with easy filtering/manipulation, really helps with visualizing.
