Jace clones can put in a lot of work.

Magic: the Gathering |OT13| Rivals of Ixalan - These Cards Fuck
Random thought of the day: I wonder if Tanglesap only exists because it's an anagram of Tangle Asp.
On another forum I posted a joke question saying I needed suggestions for a EDH deck themed around characters that have fucked. I got a lot of responses and that made me sad because I dont want anyone to think I would actually play EDH.
*rimshot*
Virtual monsters, maybe.
Random dumb deck idea: Jace + Anointed Procession.
Double the bears and double the Jaces.

you can go infinite with 2 oath of gideon already
I'm talking about standard. If I wanted to go infinite outside of that, I might as well just use Doubling Season.
Aren't those legendary?
What he means to say is play Mirror Gallery first

SO is playing that Dagger Burn deck I posted about above and it is real dumb but he is also kind of killing it. Already took down Approach 2-0 and is a game up vs Energy at the moment.

Not too much interesting. It is funny though that Lightning Strike started as 3R deal 4 to creature. Also Trove of Temptation was an instant that created 3 treasures and forced opponents creatures to attack then was "sac a treasure and force target creature to attack".

The reason why they don't have instant speed "must attack" spells anymore makes sense. Often players will cast a creature then say go, implying they skipped combat and cast the spell in their second main phase, and with this, they'd be forced to back up their turn.
It's still weird hearing them talk about how it's so hard to make red mythic rares, and not realize how lame Rowdy Crew is.

I never liked the interaction of hasty must attack creatures and being able to play them in your 2nd mainphase.
The sad part is they almost had a better version of it when someone suggested Menace. I don't know about you, but a potential 4 mana 5/5 with Menace sounds pretty badass (and it feels more red than Trample).
Still crap because lol discard at random though.

It's funny how they call out both of the big concerns people brought up immediately with Sorcerous Spyglass ("some players will think you have to name a card in their hand" and "people will think it's a triggered ability when it isn't") then just kind of went with it.
I have only had it played on me twice but both times after showing my hand I had to explain they could name any card not just the ones shown.
lol

Is the difference in card stocks obvious?

Considering they said nothing about the super wide spread awful printing issues in Amonkhet it must be pretty obvious. They must've been getting a lot of complaints of counterfeits.I havent noticed any yet myself.

They are currently streaming last years event. The 2017 one starts tomorrow morning.
This, combined with the fact that the chinese counterfeits get better and better by the day....
No, this is live.
Friday is Vintage, Saturday is Legacy, Sunday is Top 8s
Also, I need to yell at Nick for moving the event to PITTSBURGH of all places
Oh sweet. The stream title on the twitch phone app must be old.
No proxies, no. This is one of the only chances most of the Vintage players get to actually play those Lotuses so I'm sure most are happy to do so.
No proxies. A lot of Vintage tournaments are unsanctioned, and allow for some number of Proxies, but this is a sanctioned event
I just had a silly thought. Has anybody graded their entire deck just so they can play some crazy expensive graded card in a deck?
Back in the era where they didn't allow sleaves for matches they were filming for ESPN or Home video, they would issue proxys to players if cards were too beat up. you can see some of that in this video of matches from Regionals 98 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8bl8eIlB24&t=6s

I'm going to a Standard Showdown tournament with the mother of all jank piles. The basic token engine is in place but I don't know which synergy cards to play with it. So I'm playing with everything.
Mishra's Workshop is such a stupid card.
What do you mean? Like, playing them in these plastic things?:

Every time someone mentions Finkel I cringe remembering that asshole who wrote an entire article about how she refused to date him because he played Magic (even though he has a day job as a goddamn hedge fund manager).

Probably not, you need to be able to shuffle/randomize properly and stuff like that.
There was a guy that made top 8 at a gp recently that played a quadrupled sleeved deck which was pretty funny to see.

I remember an image macro floating around during that shitstorm of a bunch of nerds smiling above 'MAKING FUN OF NERDS? NOT ON OUR TURF!' wish I had saved it.
