    Yea will be hard to know until gatherer updates. My gut says the rack is boned because its old and they probably don't even remember it exists. I think the two most relevant cards are probably boros charm and lava spike? Burn losing 8 cards that can interact with a walker is significant.

    The leak says everything with creature or player targets is being erratad to any target. The big loser cards are going to be symmetrical damage effects it looks like, earthquake and sulfuric vortex etc.

    Full control mode was shift+control for a while, but I'm not sure that even works anymore now that they have manual stops implemented finally.

    Something is broken on your end or your connection. About the only thing Arena really has going for it right now is the client is about a bazillion times slicker than MTGO.

    I don't buy the "but its for draft!" argument anymore. This set is a mess for draft, with no discernible archetypes to be seen, and an abysmal EV proposition. Kids will do like, one of these on release, then it's gonna rot just like Iconic did.

    How dare you all besmirch the good name of Tree of Perdition. I know that's the card I immediately think of when I think Innistrad.

    Plug a computer direct in to the modem and power cycle it so it gives your IP to that computer and run a test from there.

    Spoilers today look like the final nail in the coffin, I'm out. Maybe I'll buy chalices if they fall far enough, but Masters sets clearly are no longer designed with me in mind since I don't play EDH.

    Crucible is out, we get coalition relic instead. This might actually be worse than Iconic Masters.

    Yea this set is booty for sure. I can't see a reason that I'd even draft it at this point. No Colonnade is a huge, huge blunder, unless they plan on putting those lands back in to standard with the core set this summer which I very much doubt they would do.

    Fun in Magic is a zero-sum game; any fun my opponents are having is fun I don't get to have. EDH is full of autistic manbabies that cry when you cast Chains of Mephistopheles.

    Yep that helps, but this set is reminding me a lot of Iconic Masters. Just who is this for? You've got such a wide array of cards from purely casual crap like Obliterator or Magus of the Wheel, to format staples for Legacy in Recruiter/Port, makes it hard to imagine who is going to be opening a...

    That argument lost all weight when they raised MSRP on these packs from 7$ to 10$. Armageddon is mythic, Doomsday is mythic, come on, this is just pure asshattery. This whole set is mathematically designed to dangle just enough value in front of chumps to get them to buy in with Jace/Recruiter...

    Mostly already too late. Chandra buylist prices are down ~40% since this morning almost universally. I lived through the Kamigawa era of Jitte being in a precon that was always 30$ and never available anywhere, so until I see 20 of each of these decks on the shelf of a Target or something I...

    Use one of the presets imo. Most of them that come included with modern motherboards are already designed for specific CPUs and are basically plug and play or whatever you'd call it.

    Best Credit Card with Cash Back Rewards

    Hmm this thing is awfully tempting. Terms say 95$ yearly fee, but I think that's probably still worth it if you travel at all? I'm currently using a plain old Chase Visa that does "fine" as far as points, but it's nothing special really. I live off my card and typically run about 2k/month...

    Retro Game of the Month February 2018: Secret of Mana (SNES)

    So I played through this again, or most of it anyway, and boy has it just not aged well. Enemy AI is often pathetic, the ring menus are clunky and annoying to use, the higher charge time weapon skills are pretty questionable to even exist, most encounters can be won with just spell spam locking...

    Ah yea they sent me the replacement card first for a 650$ deposit cause I can't be without a computer at home for work reasons etc. I just got an email today though that the deposit refund is coming this week, so all good now.

    Did you do the cross-ship thing where they take a 650$ deposit? If so how long did it take them to refund that shit.

    Not sure I like the random loot in this game. So far I'm pretty sure I hate all the weapons besides the odachi and the regular sword, but I currently can't really use either of them because I haven't seen a drop even close to my level for those types in forever. Currently using a shitty axe just...

    RE: Arena The game itself seems like it's put together well enough. The shortcuts have they have implemented to try and improve the flow of play for casual matches actually work pretty well, but if you want to play for real you can just turn full control mode on and it works just like MTGO...

    The issue with Jace is the potential for him to crowd out any other midrange strategy. There's a very real scenario in which he is good enough that the format warps to be hyper aggressive plans (burn, affinity, etc) or decks that go over the top of Jace (tron, valakuk, etc.).
