Dealing with them as a shop owner isn't great and this development is concerning, but still not as bad as dealing with Games Workshop!

Depends a bit on how much graveyard shit there's going to be.

If it's just tacked on to cards that playable anyways or close to it, surveil will be real strong. If Surveil 1 is on some 4 mana shit that should be 2 mana without it, it's going to be shit. There's probably some of both and the same sort of thing is going to happen with the other mechanics.

Sure, there's so much turnover in the NFL, but they have a good QB on his rookie contract so they can afford to make a run. They'll have to pay him eventually but right now he's getting shit.

Yeah if it ends up being a 3rd for a 1 year rental on a backup that seems like a lot.

The only time something like that works is when you have a good QB on his rookie contract. After that it's hard to pay a non QB big dollars, pay your QB and maintain depth on your roster.

Can't charm the ghosts in VP now right?

Guild Leader decided to throw in the towel and a number of key players left and then it snowballed pretty fast from there. Most people that have decided to keep playing are in other guilds now, mostly OGC or EoE with a few in other guilds.

Yeah Kunark is rough. At least it's all once a week instead of Trak and VS every day and VP every 3 days or whatever plus splits and the occassional outdoor dragon, plus vox splits.

Interesting, but holy shit at the idea of repeating some of those expansions.

Guild isn't disbanding. There have been a few players that have decided to quit including Astral so we will see what happens. Personally I still want to experience the expansions I missed on live so I haven't decided what I'm going to do myself yet.

Bombers not as dumb as the Hyperspace ramming.

For most people some middle road is probably good. Going through hoops to get 4 dollars for some Standard rare that will end up bulk is probably not a great use of time, but selling off a set of 40 dollar walkers that will be fringe at best in bigger formats isn't a terrible idea, since even if...

Orioles 50 games back after 125 games. Good times.

Standard, modern and previously extended decks tend to have roughly the same average price over time within their formats. There's always outlier eras for the formats, but on the whole this has proven to be true. If you play a mono colored or nearly mono colored aggro deck you'll tend to have...

In fairness, I would intentionally stir the pot on occassion with Kontra and Burnd. Was good wholesome entertainment.

I always got a long with him fine, even with the BiC thing.

Had to do it. SKs are crazy strong, casters were real weak at 65-70 and I wanted to be more self sufficient outside of raids.

About kontra? Or about me switching to maybe the most powerful class on TLP EQ?

Kontra doesn't play. Also I play an SK now.

You can eventually get them through the golden tickets in the casino once that opens up.

Played a R/U/G deck back when collar was in Standard that played a Collar as part of a small Trinket Mage package and it was funny how often people scooped to equipping that on an Inferno Titan. Caw-Blade was probably a better deck overall, but that deck leveraged Jace TMS the best. Jace +...

A slow paced prequel show about mostly a bunch of shitty people and it's awesome.

Can be any number of things. Pro players that have some famous event or are known for a particular card. Invitational cards with player likeness on them often get signed by the player. Richard Garfield has signed a lot of cards over the years as well. And sometimes random people for random...

Dig out the Wastelands too then.

They made mulligans less punishing by adding scry 1 to mulligans.

Probably. It's from the PoV of the Annalist, which gives it an interesting viewpoint with whole flawed narrator bit. Also, if you read other Fantasy stuff you'll see a lot of elements in this series that heavily influenced them. Wheel of Time and The Malazan for example. I personally...

Yeah, I think he's trying to mitigate his part in this by trying to shift the blame to Howard, but I think he knows it's bullshit and still feels terrible.

That comment right at the end to Howard was rough. Also, he's probably feeling pretty shitty about being the reason for the insurance thing to begin with since I think his intentions were inconvenience and anger not suicide.

Won't argue about magic online. You'd think after all these years they'd actually pay their devs and programmers and hold on to the good ones for more than months before they leave for greener pastures.

I wouldn't make that trade. You're on the losing end on both value and playability unless your duals are revised and look like they went through the washing machine.

Versus and the WoW TCG both did things the way you seem to advocate, in fact WoW was largely MTG with every card being land in addition to whatever it was and the ability to directly attack creatures. Both games were heavily pushed, both games tried very hard to have a professional tour to...

That series was rough. Giving up 15 in the first game, then hitting for shit the next couple and then how that last one ended with chapman giving up 3 runs and then losing in the 10th. Terrible.

It's all part of the micro vs macro thing too. In an individual game variance is a pretty big factor, but over a lot of games less so. There's a reason matches are best of 3 and often at larger events some of the big matches at the end are often best of 5.

I don't really get all the hate on GotG2. It's not as good as the first one, but the first one is amazing. There's plenty of room to be not as excellent as GotG and still be a good movie.

People bluff in Magic all the time. You represent removal/counters/combat tricks even without them all the time. You've never attacked with your 2/2 when your opponent has a 4/4 in play? Versus was a game that had very little randomness to it and they really tried hard to push it, but with...

That's actually one of the things that makes the game popular though. Anyone can win a game against anyone in a given game even if in the long term they would rarely win. Give that much of a gap between people in a game with little to no randommess and the less experienced/good player...

She was the satellite engineer chick in The Martian too.

Quite the shitshow.

Kylo can take a large dose of deathsticks and become the living embodiment of the dark side of the force as is proper.
