Is this why people at tournaments CONSTANTLY shuffle their hands like idiots? I don't get it. They flick their cards back and forth in their hand and look thoughtfully at them ALL THE TIME, as though 1. The cards change or become better if you shuffle them around, and 2. They ALWAYS have exactly the answer to whatever I'm going to do.

It annoys me, and it makes me think their dumb. But that's about it. Anybody else do this or seen people do this constant hand flicking/shuffling thing? They'll even do it when they have just 2 cards in hand, constantly flicking them back and forth rearranging them. I have no idea why they do it, but maybe they think its a JMT?

The closest thing I have to something like this is that I play my lands in front of my creatures. My friends and I always play like this, but I haven't seen anybody else ever play lands in front of creatures. I'm sure it annoys some people and makes them wonder wtf I'm doing. But I don't do it to be a dick, its just what I'm used to.

I'm not nervous but idk ... i just flick my cards around alot lol... i do it like crazy at prereleases and regionals lol

From what i hear, and i'm going to the regionals in secuacus, nj

there will be lots of
1. Tooth and Nail
2. Ponza
3. A bit of Beacon
4. Not to much muc

thatz from gathering some info from players i know going.

I will probably playing a red deck variant.. i have mostly every card for each one and have been tampering around with a couple different ones. I 've been playing ponza for a while, tryed out some crazy random red burnish thing lol becuase i made it 10 minutes before i left for tournament and top 8'd lol. If anyone is goin to secaucus nj regionasl pm me.

where online can i order foreign cards(japanese, korean, chinese, w/e) for a decent price?... i'd like to buy some when ravnica or 9th comes out

I shoudl only be recieving i believe 4 textless/token cards total and havent gotten them yet and i'm registered in magic player rewards... what should i do.. wait it out?... write to wizards?

well i dont share my collections w/ anyone else but me and my group of like 7 or so all let eachother borrow cards whenever cause were coool w/ it. I do have a couple friends that do share collections though.

umm we are obviously gonna want to fit in Pithing Needle in this deck .. idk sb or mained but with regionals coming up.. and MUC being big... it needs to be in the deck. what cards come out? discussion on this.
