Wow major sam black cheating. No way he didnt know that because he had to combo off till the very end. Absolutely despicable. Probably get slapped on the wrist.

Wow major sam black cheating. No way he didnt know that because he had to combo off till the very end. Absolutely despicable. Probably get slapped on the wrist.
His opponent agreed that it was in play though. They both thought the visionary was in play from the start and could attack, so it just sucks. That turn took forever.
EDH is like French fries: some people like waffle cut, crinkle cut, or plain old straight cut, and while there's slight flavor difference and personal preference, at the end of the day they're still fries.
A lot of derps on camera. Joe, not using his counterbalance blindly to counter a 3 drop (when he then draws clique). The Painter player never using grindstone just as a grindstone to manipulate his draws with top, or just win the 1st game faster. The Nic fit player not only blowing up his deed for no apparent reason at the start of sams combo turn, but then also couldn't remember that he actually killed the visionary in the first place and just scooped. Ugh, how are these people at the top tables?

Yeah I don't know what to think about that. Black attacking for the win with a elf that was obviously summoning sick. But his opponent agreed that it was not so...
I feel the same way, and I'm a fan of Sam Black. I mean, he could have forgotten the beginning of that turn the Deed blowing up, but he remembered all of his triggers and played extremely tight and he has an absolute poker face on. Kind of makes me disgusted...
No way sam black didnt know he visionary couldn't attack, because he wouldn't have taken so long to combo off till his last 3 cards. He intentionally deceived the opponent when he attack after opponent "agreed" he was in play.

It's Not cheating. Sam DID ASK his opponent and his opponent answered incorrectly, creating an incorrect board state. Is it a shady Baiting? Yes. It's also James Hammes' fault for being careless, he could have look at his graveyard, staring at his Deed, before he could answer.
Capitalizing on your opponent being "dumb" feels like cheating to me..
Did anyone else notice after the first 3 activations by herigate druid sam was only taping 2 elve after that? And if im not mistaken Sam didnt evan have enuff power on the bord for leathal if james blocks with eernal witness. So how was he able to attack with 2 visionarys?

Like I said man, he was playing extremely tight, so I believe he knew what he was doing.

I'm pretty sure if you know that you are doing something illegal, and it actually is illegal, it's illegal. Even if your opponent thinks otherwise.
Otherwise, 2 explores bro

He played a birchlore ranger during that turn. He didn't have lethal, but they both thought (for whatever reason) that the craterhoof and 1 visionary could attack. They both got something like +16/+16 (or possibly more), so James thought he was dead, which if the visionary could attack, he was (but it shouldn't have been able to attack).
EDH is like French fries: some people like waffle cut, crinkle cut, or plain old straight cut, and while there's slight flavor difference and personal preference, at the end of the day they're still fries.
In that second game of elves vs nic fit, what's the justification behind killing the teeg at that particular moment, when you aren't planning on casting any spells just yet other than a craterhoof for the win? Teeg is always in your favor if you don't have anything to cast that it's preventing.

Absolutely none. Black was still distracted by how he illegally stole the previous game
Capitalizing on your opponent being "dumb" feels like cheating to me..
I'm sure that's how every merchant feels when they trade a service or a product with you. It's completely voluntary. Sam didn't force you or blackmail you into doing anything, he simply asked a question. That's not the same as stacking a deck or doing some strange shuffles. To me, arranging your deck instead of randomizing your deck, that's cheating.
Again, we as the out-sider certainly can speculate what's in Sam Black's mind. We are not Sam. In an alternative universe, you can do a mock trial and get the lawyers to do cross-examination on Sam, but we cannot be mind-readers. The concrete evidence suggested that Sam asked the question, James fell for it.
James got next-leveled. I don't see this as cheating.
As isolated events, this Sam Black play was much worse than Bertincini's Two Explores

4.8. Unsporting Conduct — Cheating
Definition
A person breaks a rule defined by the tournament documents, lies to a tournament official, or notices an offense
committed in his or her (or a teammate's) match and does not call attention to it. Check.
Additionally, the offense must meet the following criteria for it to be considered Cheating:
• The player must be attempting to gain advantage from his or her action. Check.
• The player must be aware that he or she is doing something illegal. Check.
And please don't tell me Black was not aware of the situation..
Man, Dead Guy Ale and Nic Fit in the feature MUs? Man, SCG actually listened to their audience and have more variety in their video. Also, these are 2 decks I am thinking about adopting, to trade away my blue duals and finish my non blue collection.
He's Sam Black, not Sam White. He looks out for number one.
He might be in some number two if the judges look over that one again, though

These days, some wizards are finding they have a little too much deck left at the end of their $$$.

Sucks they started out in round 4, instead of 3. Can anyone shed some light as to why?
Wow, Rill's RUGb list looks cool. Walked all over that Show and X deck.
It could be that Standard finals took so long that the coverage team didn't get to the legacy portion till a while after. Idk. I just know that legacy rounds started some time during the top 8 of the standard portion.
Imperial Painter beatdown. Sometimes, some matches have an awesome twist to it. Blood Moon really saved him.
Painter doing what Painter does, very typical. The so-called "Esper Miracle" looks atrocious, it should be a crime to build Esper Stoneblade and disguise itself as Miracle. You got SFM package, Lingering souls, just drop Miracle stuff and be a real Esper Stoneblade deck. This kind of wish-washy half-ass doing-well-in-neither is barely a deck.
Yeah, I agree. That list looked terrible. Just in general, I really hate most all of Joe Bernal's "brews." Most of them are simply jamming two deck types together (often looking and doing rather poorly) or upping the count of a few select cards (see Supreme Blade).

Reprints the one card that people point to when saying that art objectifies women.
Well done Wizards.
Liliana does not objectify women in any way at all. We have gotten to a point in our society that every single picture of a women must be objectifying a women in some negative way......blah blah blah.. That is not the case. (((Sarcasm)))Picture of a girl drinking a milk shake, must be sex related and putting women down, picture of girl sitting on a beach, picture of a girl driving a car, picture of a girl on the moon at a new space station.)))
You have a picture of an attractive strong power women who girls dress up as for anime conventions. What more do you want? The picture is fine, happy to see a reprint. Sick of of seeing people claim that everything in existence must be putting women down. Then all I have to do is replace the word "women" with anything else to get the same mentality; fish, cats, arabs, blacks, jews, men, environment, whites, chinese, old people, etc. It doesn't matter what word I put in. Stop sucking life out of everything man. That artwork of her is awesome. Stop putting stuff down man. Just stop. If the picture was really as negative as you claim she would totally nude, in a kitchen, making sandwiches and giving blow jobs. Her abilities would be horrible as well. +1 do nothing -2 do nothing -6 do nothing. Instead liliana of the veil is an amazing planeswalker comparable to jace, the mind sculpter with great art to appreciate.
My suggestion listen to some comedy radio for a while, pandora is free, youtube is free there is something out there for you. ***** go make fun of somebody. The whole world is so serious and campaigning for some cause, or someones rights, everything is a hate crime, racist, sexist. blah blah blah.
"O no mcdonalds must be slandering a hate crime against skinny people every time they make a big mac." hahaha jeeze You're just someone perpetuating another groups negative perspective that they've made you believe is correct. Look at the picture for a hour and tell me what's wrong with it? I don't see anything.
I have heard vague rumors of a moustache-dispensing vending machine in a distant laundromat, across the street from a tattoo parlor. However, this information is shaky, and time is of the essence.
