    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!

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

    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...

    What is your education level?

    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.

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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!

    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.

    I really like the max level "combo" Talent Windwalker Monk got, that can only be used if two specific other abilities are on cooldown; hooray new design space. Going to be interesting lining up cooldowns/figuring out chi-spending/generating chains while also ensuring the maximum effectiveness...
