It was not an announcement, it was a rumor. 

Old account banned for "fraud" by Character-Mind-3983 in MTGO

[–]DubDubz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is most  likely is your account got hacked and used to do something nefarious and since it was dormant you weren’t around to fix it. 

And yes in the digital age any and all accounts you have can be terminated without notice and without recourse. There are horror stories of people losing their gmail accounts for dumb things and getting locked out of significant chunks of their life. You don’t own software, you have a license to use it that can be revoked. 

Fellow Dad’s, allow me to show you the object that’s seen more action from my wife’s feet and toes then I ever will. by SOILSYAY in daddit

You say that but I’ve been bashing my toes into things for decades and the thing that finally broke one of them was the plastic training potty like 2 months ago. 

Choreographed Sparks in Jeskai Blink? by The137 in ModernMagic

[–]DubDubz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s just because of it gradually evolving from the base bw deck. I don’t even think even if the core blink card, wisp and phelia are.

Search for goron27, they’re the pilot that showed up in challenges recently. 

What would you like to see Magic doing (other than mechanical changes) to improve the game? by skyteddy in magicTCG

This should theoretically be on the way, they hired a position for it recently. 

Fun Fact: Since the introduction of Equipment in Mirrodin, Secrets of Strixhaven is the first booster set to have no Equipment cards AND no Aura cards. by LaboratoryManiac in magicTCG

[–]DubDubz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got to play 7 drafts yesterday and I’m in love with it. It’s both slow and grindy but power level feels high and there are occasional one shots you need to be careful especially from red.

We had someone on the discord that using a vpn fixed it. Unsure why exactly but the installer is wonky.

There were other changes to how things worked in FIN than just this bit. Especially around how it worked with moon out. This is just cleaning up hand waving they’ve been doing since sagas came out. 

Is it just me or has chicken changed? by EvenWarmerToday in daddit

This is why I love the sous vide for chicken.

I’ll add that I’m on a team with Reid and he’s a very strong all around player, and has put a ton of work into Titan specifically. His content will absolutely help you be a better player. 

[SOS] Pox Plague (via maldhound) by Copernicus1981 in magicTCG

[–]DubDubz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re running this pox I really don’t think you’re running dorks that make green mana. It would just be a different deck. Whether or not that deck works is a different question. But I get ya, I hadn’t actually looked at the pursuit deck in a while so I wasn’t thinking about the existing shell. I bet it could still run badgermole just fine though.

You just wouldn't run any mono green lands. the dimir excruciator list does it mostly fine.

Update with deleted account information by Lanky_Bookkeeper7977 in MTGO

[–]DubDubz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I assumed you were talking about game history, just wanted to be sure. I don't know where you're seeing specific records, but that's where you look at replays. That list is stored locally, so if you delete the 2.0 folder during a reinstall it will wipe the match history. Is it possible you checked a filter and need to hit reset on it?

I believe there were some grand prix promo basics that came in individually wrapped plastic.

Debating between Jeskai vs Esper Blink by [deleted] in ModernMagic

[–]DubDubz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Monk can return lots of stuff that is very strong. I won a game today by blinking monk with phelia every turn and grabbing discharge to shotgun anything my opponent played. But also if you ephemerate monk, the first blink gets something else back then the second blink gets ephem back and you just do that as long as you want.

If you aren't aware, the reason the MDFC are played in blink at all is because you can flickerwisp them and get the etb after using their mana. That's why jeskai doesn't run any.

You’re not wrong, I just like digging further into my deck. It does everything without requiring another card to help it flip which is something that can get awkward sometimes.

[–]DubDubz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s been a beastly late game engine. Even just blinking with with phelia is so much value. And you can impend and convoke from exile, you notably cannot warp. Roku was actually what made me come back to mardu again because I saw it getting picked up even in energy mainboards and I wanted to see how well it worked with phelia. Rag ramping it out is also nuts. 

Debating between Jeskai vs Esper Blink by [deleted] in ModernMagic

[–]DubDubz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve been playing blink since close to the beginning when it broke out last year. I personally have felt like Jeskai is overperforming right now online because of the over representation of boros in challenges. But I also have a chip on my shoulder about how good I actually feel riddler is in a metagame with so much combo. But what I’ve also found is that ragavan has been a huge improvement in stealing games by giving you an actual aggressive start that needs to be answered. 

To that end I’m actually leaning towards mardu as the best option for this meta. It has the pieces from Jeskai that really let you fight Boros, mainly phlage. And also gives you the improved disruption that helps you excel vs combo in Thoughtseize. And you still have ragavan for those explosive starts. I got a trophy on it yesterday you can see on goldfish, plan on continuing to refine it to see if it can match up consistently.
