I actually found Legends of Norrath enjoyable as its own game, if hideous. If they had stuck to their initial vision of the booster packs dropping in-game and it not just being a "buy until you find a Reusable Mana Refill Potion to break game mechanics" cash shop I might have continued enjoying it.

Well, time gets reversed each time you kill him so that's technically 0 Quarm kills right? ;)

I mean, they banned a guy for posing next to buttcracks, they obviously don't care what gender is involved as long as it doesn't end up on the front page of reddit and hurt their PR :D

Amusingly enough, eventually it became the only starting stat that mattered, since everything else was just naturally capped by gear, and your Charisma increased the proc rate of those stupid cleric "death save" effects. Not a big effect, but hey~

Hasbro's new digital arm is working on a Magic the Gathering MMO, if you want to go full nerdception.

No Gnome Monks? Game doomed.

Card shops pushing up their pricing on Inspiring Statuary and Paradox Engine right before the tour starts. Guess we can guess what some of the store-sponsored teams are on :)

Also, when you keep Whim'ing an opponent's Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth during their upkeep to disable Cabal Coffers, they get salty :D

It and Mystic Speculation are just extremely cheap buy-back spells for all of the "When you cast an instant or sorcery..." effects. Baral gets both of them down to 2 mana, so you're just looking for a Cloud Key or Sapphire Medallion to reach Maximum Cheap. Metallurgic Summonings-esque effects...

I've been having a bunch of fun with Baral too. A lot of confused faces at the table the first time I cast Whim of Volrath.

Fun Sealed PPTQ today. Managed to muddle to the finals with a rareless B/U Control deck. The common and uncommon improvise dudes are pretty impressive as long as you have Maps/Servo Schematics to fuel them out early. 4/4 Hexproofs were holding down the fort all day. Lost to a deck with...

He became one of the fallenest.

I'm still waiting to find out if the survival game has nudity and drunk NPCs pissing everywhere, or if they're no longer on the cutting edge of game design space.

I like Tyler Perry for Worst Actress.

Who else is going to warn you to check the local news for Big Foot sightings in the last 72 hours? Squatch coulda absconded with him.

It's FunCom, you're getting horrible performance issues. :)

It's because your skill is too low to gather the actual full herb. Once your skill is higher you get whole pieces.

Overperformers: -Fourth Bridge Prowler (So many X/1s, and coming down after combat to kill bigger things after they've absorbed an attack (or before combat to reduce their defending power enough to safely swing with a fatty). Also cast it several times to murder itself for Revolt triggers.)...

T1: Narnam Renegade T2: Winding Constrictor T3: Rishkar T4: Ridgescale Tusker Is a very hard curve to recover from :D

G'luck to everyone at their various prereleases this weekend.

And it was hilarious when SOE made one of the class's biggest Damage Cooldowns *blind* them for its duration, causing any shift in the boss to make them lose all their DPS.

Warrior+Rogue!

Most amusing part about Bard was people bitching about 'carpal tunnel' from having to push a different button every 2 seconds. Fast forward to this generation, and people are whining hard when they AREN'T mashing a damage button every second or less.

I like Dialogue and Story when it is well thought out and doesn't just exist to give you a reason to grab 4 bear asses because we needed 50 quests in this zone to make sure your character leveled 5 times so that they can move onto the next zone where the quest dialog will exist to tell you why...

There was a toggle in the menu under graphics named "Run Like Shit", all you guys had to do was un-check it!

But smuggler's copter made planeswalkers less viable, and planeswalkers are marquee cards that sell sets. They even had to print a Heart of Kiran to block it for Planeswalker decks, also mythic, of course :D I do think we'll probably see a significantly more diverse standard. I doubt "jeskai...

Banning out the only standard deck that plays Chandra should drop her a couple of bucks for a little while. Also, amused by Gideon making it through this unscathed when he has frequently been half the field.

Feels weird to ban Copter when Fatal Push is literally 2 weeks away. The Reflector Mage ban is just making sure the grenade gets as much splash damage as possible, since it hits U/W Flash, Panharmonicon, and the new Saheeli Rai+Felidar Guardian deck.

I doubt you'll ever see a JTMS unban, for purely PR reasons. Regardless of its strength or lack thereof. They also just re-banned Golgari Grave Troll, so they got burned pretty hard by at least one unban :)

No unbannings. Standard: Smuggler's Copter Banned (Lame, it's high prevalence, but rewards good magic play) Reflector Mage Banned (This ban is so 2016 I was surprised CoCo wasn't on the banlist too!) Emrakul Banned (Bye bye Mindslaver) Modern Gitaxian Probe (BEST BAN. Fuck combo decks having...

Banned and Restricted List moved up a week out of nowhere, speculators going nuts.

All I remember was people sucking the story bricks guy off when he dropped by to say they tried to buy SOE.

Nah, but you can totally buy his next project, in VIRTUAL REALITY. It probably even has SOEmote compatibility!

The "U-Unblockable and draw a card" and "R-Haste and draw a card" spells are both still legal if folks want to get super jank :D

Amusingly, the other infinite damage attack combo (Crackdown Construct+Wandering Fumarole) is also in Jeskai colors. Will probably be a pretty fun FNM deck using both.

Saheeli Rai price spike due to Felidar Guardian. Feels optimistic.

The necromancer getting to gear up their pet appealed to me. But then, I loved Anarchy Online, the game of 48 Gear Slots and absolutely autistic gearing planning spreadsheet bullshit.

I wonder if anyone's broke the news to ponytail.

I like the 'No emulators, we want to try to salvage this shitstorm by selling the tools and methods you-er-I-mean-we've developed.'

Des loaths good cards, and netdeckers, and everything involved with magic. He has like 20 rant videos about how Cryptolith Rite will completely destroy magic forever. And somehow, despite lacking any understanding of the game or competition, he's one of the higher subbed/viewed magic youtubers.
