  • posted a message on Seeded pre-release packs aren't so cool anymore.
    I don't like them. With RTR seeded sealed I went Golgari and my buddy went Rakdos. He got Rakdos nuts, and my Golgari seed pack was so out of place from the other 5 boosters that I ended up building Rakdos instead. My pool was still poor and IIRC I used none of my seed pack. More than one person suggested I buy a new sealed pool altogether.

    I crushed my buddy 2-0 in round 1, and won every other match as well, taking first. He came in second. It was awesome, but the seeded booster really screwed up my pool.

    I'm very interested to hear how this pans out. I'd like to know what SCG does when the OP returns them. Not returning them is for low-quality people. A mistake is a mistake, not a justification for douchebaggery and theft. BTW, the ATM scenario is WAY off. If you did that, you'd be in some crap. Not only are there cameras in every machine, but every transaction is recorded.

    If you won't likely drafting the entire cube, variance should be okay. If it is a problem, just proxy the one's you can't afford.

    Quote from TabletopVorthos
    If Huey block is Mongolian-warlord themed, walls seem to be about the ONLY thing that would work against the rampaging hordes. Plus, I'd like to dust off the old Wall deck from years back.


    If so, WOTC please bring back Rampage.

    Bad sportsmanship? Maybe.

    Bad parenting? Definitely.


    Seriously Karradur? Im a bad parent because my kid got some cards to side in against my deck? A BAD parent?? I think you need to reassess your priorities, magic is a hobby, not a life skill.


    Infiniti, it is likely best not to engage basement-dwelling trolls with the limited social skill set Karradur regularly exhibits on the forums.

    Anyone who has actually had an 11 year old son play against them in Magic will tell you this is age appropriate behavior and quite normal. Getting mad isn't helpful, nor is insulting the child. The thing to do is to have a talk and explain why that is bad form. He will get the message.

    What duals could Wizards make (say within a commander set as not to disrupt modern & standard) that are 1) not a violation of the reserved list (including legendary/snow duals), and 2) good enough that they would be more viable alternative to ABU duals in legacy than shocks are. Basically, the drawback would have to be different than the shock drawback.


    Not-Taiga
    Forest/Mountain
    [T] Add G or R to your mana pool.
    All other non-basic lands you control that are both Forests and Mountains besides Not-Taiga produce colorless mana instead of their normal colors.

    Problem fixed. Pretty simple, really.

  • posted a message on I'm quitting Magic, here's why
    Quote from Karradur
    So, you're quitting Magic because you're 34 going on 15?

    Am I seriously the first person to point out that you sound like you have the emotional maturity of one of your five (!!!) children?

    I'll most likely get modded for saying all of this, but you honestly need to reevaluate your life priorities.


    So what you are saying is you didn't read his post at all - or failed to comprehend it. Nice work.

  • posted a message on Time to fix this...sign this petition to revise the Reserved List and get Legacy Masters printed
    Quote from Octamagic

    Yea, your the same people that help build the chronicles and 4th edition viruses that nearly wiped out the entire game- Wizards did horriably the following years and took a lot of work to rebuild- Had there NOT been a reserve list I doubt the game would still be relivant. You think the game would be doing well if Hasbro started making tons of cards till everything was junk? CHANGE LEGACY NOT RESERVE LISTS. Your game is broken, deal with it. Your game dies because you guys can't get smart with solutions. Maybe since you guys cry so much about duals price, Kill duals off from legacy, and go cry about it- then get over it and get back to magic. Maybe dual lands is too expensive for you guys format. Vintage will happily pick up the duals and kids like you wont bother the format because you will never override the vintage players.


    Why is it so hard for you all to get good cards? Make purchases, learn the cards-make good trades-read the market. Yes you are whiners. I had over 1000 in cards at 13 because I was trading and reading the market, working hard at magic. Most of you are just lazy internet dorks- wanting to be spoonfed the hardwork others put in. CARDS THAT WERE RELEASE MONTHS AGO ARE GOING FOR OVER 100 DOLLARS YOU NEVER SAW THAT BACK IN THE DAY- You guys are worthless. I could take 100 dollars cash and flip it into 2000 dollars in magic cards in 6 months no problem Learn the game noobs.


    And this, children, is why you shouldn't drunk text.

    does it count as an artifact for determining Metalcraft?

    if not, then its less use to me than a darksteel relic


    ...which goes really well with a Swamp, Dark Ritual and Phylactery Lich.

    Fetch lands will not be in a core set simply due to demand. They will release them over a block to ensure that sales of all 3 sets are hot.
