    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.

    Computer Issues

    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. If it's still shit speeds then you're boned and they need to fix their lines someplace. If you wanna get real fancy go outside to your cable box and disconnect the feed going...

    I dunno, it'd sure fit their theme of bulk rares at this point.

    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.

    Nioh (Team Ninja)

    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...

    Yea that should be a pretty significant upgrade. You'll very likely want some kid of SSD to boot off, but otherwise it looks totally fine.

    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.).

    Yep, they sent me a 1080 to replace my 980 TI just like, 10 days ago. I still haven't mailed the 980ti back, I could almost get more for it on the secondary than the 600$ deposit they took for the 1080.

    I'll be laughing my ass off when he gets rebanned in 6 months and everyone loses their shirts on 150$ copies of Jace. Masters 25 reprinting at mythis isn't gonna touch his price. He'll be 150$ until he gets banned again.

    The problem is is that people use its weighted mulligan system as a crutch and then get punished hard by normal draws in subsequent turns. All kinds of decks run only like 27-28 power sources (some of which are often tutors which means further thinning)in their 75, which is pure madness and only...

    You still have to pay whatever entry fee for MTGO, so 8tix/80 points for friendly 12tix/120 points for competitive. The only real difference between the two is how prize payouts work, so if you just want to grind matches friendly is easier to go infinite. You can borrow whatever you want up to...

    Even if it's the same company, something has changed, and changed drastically. Current era cards legitimately feel like cheap knockoffs next to older card stock, or even foreign stock of current cards. It's absolutely damning when they are right next to each other. Foils have been a problem for...
