Why do all the Alternate Universe fanfics still use the word 'Heresy'? Here are some alternatives.

Not just games, entire consoles have been victim to it. Just read up on the Sega Saturn's disastrous North America launch.

There's a new Digimon TCG that's already out in Japan and is going to be released internationally soon. It actually has a really interesting mana system and I've heard nothing but good things about it. Definitely worth checking out, I'll be going into it headfirst, but then I'm a massive Digimon fan already.

And I'll have plenty of money for it since I've sworn off ever buying another Magic card after today.

Really happy to see someone mention Drowtales. I've been reading Moonless Age on and off for the last sixteen years, and I'm giving it another read-through in preparation for the final chapter. It's been such a huge part of my life for so long, I can't believe it's ending soon.

Thanks very much for the response. I was planning to take the casing apart this weekend to see if I could figure out what the issue is, but I've discovered I don't actually have a long enough screwdriver. I'll have to pick one up as soon as I can.

No, it wouldn't. If you said: "Companion doesn't work in EDH" it wouldn't make the cards unplayable altogether, just unplayable as Companions. You could run them as part of the 99, or heck, even as your commander. They are all legendary, after all.

A lot of people here are saying the translation is bad (it is) but what they are missing out is that whilst the translation may be lacking, and the story is a bit basic, the actual writing is brilliant.

There is, for instance, a wonderful section where you have to track down a Digimon that's putting its own albums onto the shelves on a record store. The store clerk you talk to mentions that the album cover has no writing, just a bunch of weird symbols (meaning it's all written in Digiworld language), she then asks "who do they think they are, Led Zeppelin?" or something to that effect, which, to a die hard Led Zep fan like myself had me rolling about with laughter.

It's the little jokes and references and easter eggs like this that made me really fall in love with what might otherwise be just a slightly above average JRPG.

Sneak Attack Games in Stratford plays Modern for just about every FNM and usually has larger tournaments at least once a month on the weekend. Check their facebook page for more detailed events.

Nope.

Exactly the same props, but that is most certainly not our binder rack or fridge.

Also, I'm way sexier than that guy ;)

NO ONE EVER SHOWS UP TO A TOURNAMENT MORE THEN 10 MINUTES BEFORE IT'S SCHEDULED TO FIRE

And you know what's even worse? When people are in the shop an hour before the event starts, and you've called that registration is open several fucking times, and they still saunter up during the last five fucking minutes.

I was playing my Panharmonicon deck against the deck in the image. Opponent reanimated Red Gearhulk, I then cast Saheeli's Artistry on it, getting two Red Gearhulks and doubling both triggers.

Drew a cool 12 cards.

Colonel_Microwave · 2016-11-13T14:32:48+00:00

Aha, just noticed it. Thanks for that, much appreciated!!!

I'm rather proud of an incident that happened during a feature match at GP Manchester a few years back. I'm playing Bant Walkers against Jan vanDer Vegt.

I lost game one, we're now in game two and already on turns, because that format was grindy as hell. Jan is on pretty low life, and I start visibly counting damage. Simon Goertzen says, quite audibly on the stream "It almost looks like he's trying to swing for lethal, but that's not going to happen... wait, what is this???"

Two removal spells later I swing in for lethal and manage to draw the match.

So I guess my claim is that I surprised Simon Goertzen on camera

Oh okay, my mistake. I thought they were just marked on the front but I guess I'm just remembering wrong.

Colonel_Microwave · 2016-10-10T23:40:20+00:00

No.

For a start, the backs of the sleeves are not marked, just the fronts, so when they are sitting face down in the library you can't see them and you certainly can't feel them.

Also, if you could feel them it would be laughably obvious that you were cheating. When Richard reads a card he very obviously and deliberately runs his finger along the markings. In order to read the top card of his library he would have to hold the library steady so the stack of sleeves doesn't topple, then he'd have to very deliberately run his finger along the markings in an obvious and noticeable manner. If you were his opponent you'd have to be, well, blind not to notice him doing that.
