MTG Salvation

Don't normally have trouble, this just funny because he wouldn't actually have lost that much...I mean if I hit swung, he'd get one of mine, and then the next turn or two he'd get back the bloodghasts

Quote from yasuragi

Normally I am suspicious of any <System> Player Lost messages, but I have seen this happen before, both to my opponent and to myself. If there is a connection error, access violation error, etc. at the beginning of the game, it can sometime appear that the other person is still there for a while. Other people have thought that I was still around when I wasn't, and I have thought the same of opponents. I only discovered
this after talking with some of the other frequent users.

95% of the time that it's a genuine disconnect, it's because of an error caused by the first card being played, I have yet to figure out what it is, but it happens to me, and mostly to my opponents. First card goes down, I hear the noise the card makes as it's played, then there an error whenever I touch anything.

So if I had to guess, the opponent played a card before rolling, and it just happened to crash his games

Quote from pokerbob1

where is he getting fear from? lifelink? what happened to set 2 (you have 1 and 3)?

I see him having flying, first strike, haste, protection from white.

Set 2 is akroma, angel of fury which wasn't in my graveyard, lifelink was from my knight of meadowgrain IO had just put in the deck, and fear from my shriekmaw which I forgot to make a token for. I make a 0/0 tokens for all the creatures in my deck to show what abilities my cairn wanderer has, it's a lot faster, and show them up a lot better than notes, since after a certain point it doesn't show anymore of them on the card.

background for this games is pretty much he haunting hymned me for 4 cards on turn 4, so I was stuck at 3 lands for several turns until I let his curse of the cabal resolve because it didn't make a difference. So I'm at 3 life, although about to gain 4 more from the wanderer. And he gives up because he was flooded. he could easily have found an answer before I hit lethal, and I'd still be taking 3 damage a turn for every 4 I gained. Although I probably would have tutored for a warhammer or another wanderer for the next turn

I've been really lucky, I haven't seen any bad players in a long time (like at least a week). He wants to repeatedly chain militia's pride but doesn't understand how it works. Woops, I didn't even notice the non-token part, so he was doubly wrong

Might I ask why you delved half the cards for Tombstalker to your library?

mmk, I know MBC isn't tier 1 yet/anymore, but it's still not a bad deck. What I find hilarious is he's playing a 4 colour mystical teachings deck, complains that he isn't getting any his other colours, and kept a hand with remand as it's only counter. He also has 6 lands, I have an urborg, and he has teferi and a vamp (he quits when I kill the vamp)

A combination of trample, combat steps, and priority...I think when you buy your first magic cards or download MWS, it should be in a locked box that only opens after you've read the comp-rules. I attack with the totem and he casts the pact, blocks, and assigns 4 damage before I could respond

Edit:

Makes an obscene comment about my sexuality because I grandeur korlash and play urborg, then quits for him playing teferi with 2 blue mana

Quote from Danehar

It's even worse when it's the other way around, when you're the one playing permission and the other guy just plays his spells like you can't possibly have any responses. "Hm, well I have 7 urza lands out and 5 blue sources, as well having as spellbursted two of your spells last turn. I guess I can't possibly counter that diabolic tutor you just played". Wow, putting a card into your hand from a restricted zone followed by shuffling your library. That doesn't corrupt gamestate :-/. Sigh.

There is one time when it i acceptable not to wait for counter, but that's when you tap out to play something then day end my turn, I usually do that third turn when playing phyrexian totem or something similar, and let them counter and take their turn immediately.

But everyone should ALWAYS wait before touching their libraries, I even do it when grandeuring Korlash against non-blue decks, it's just good habit. I hate when someone plays compulsive research and draws immediately, when I have imp's mischief in hand...Sure I was playing mono-black, but don't draw so quickly. It's gotten a little better nw that I splash blue, but people still do it because they realize game 1 I have no counters, and I side in the mischiefs

yay, another line splitting type problem (I can't seem to remember what the original was...something read). I ended up losing the turn after from double helix into demonfire. and then he quit

Edit: Ha, didn't notice that, it is kinda funny.

yay regeneration shields!
I have skeletal vampire with 2 bats, he plays pyroclasm, I draw an arrow to show I put a regen shield on the vamp. And then he goes on about that 2 damage removes the shield. I wasn't gonna post this at first because there's no proof I sacced the bat. But then he showed off his awesome knowledge of regeneration. The best I can understand he thinks regeneration is activated whenever damage is dealt.

Quote from dbw

I'm on the play. He plays a turn 1 Savannah Lion, I play a turn 2 Stromgald Crusader, and:

It is now the Combat Phase, Declare Attackers Step

<dbw> my guy has protection from white
<System> Player Lost
<dbw> o.O

ugh, I had so much of that when I played with them, I don't know how many people quit on me after trying to condemn, lightning helix, faith's fetters, or just swinging into it. Is it so hard to read the first line of a card when someone plays it? I mean it's a knight that costs BB, what else would it have?

Yay basic abilities, aren't they so hard to understand?

I'm pretty sure I've played that guy...The weird thing was it was like a month or more ago. But the M.O. was the same, first turn drop random mirodin cards without paying for them, but I wasn't patient enough to try and teach the person how to play the game

I would have said Jackal Pup only has a drawback if you pump it.

Also, what are these private servers I've heard of? I've never seen anything about them before this week
