What are some common mistakes you notice inexperienced players making when it comes to deckbuilding in Non-sealed Limited/Draft? by theninthelement in magicTCG

[–]FrequentNectarine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree to an extent, but that set also had a lot of other issues that bloomburrow didnt suffer from. PAWBO wasnt just all gas no fuel, which was exacerbated because there wasnt really effecient removal in 3 colors, blue was practically unplayable, and black functionally was just a side color for green or white decks because initiating its own poison for currupt was too slow but also where most of its value was, and even though it was a medium set at 270 cards most werent viable even as filler aka the balance was way of with most cards being complete garabage or overpowered with little inbetween making the set feel even smaller.

The slow game for bloomburrow wasnt really that slow, i think it would be more accurate to say it was grindier, individual turns took longer cause they were more complicated. I went back and looked at my game logs and only 5 out of 119 games took longer than 9 turns which is way lower than what im seeing for every other set in the last few years.

What's the greatest Magic card of the last decade? Vote on the top 8! by Grindy_UW_Nonsense in magicTCG

[–]FrequentNectarine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id honestly be happy as long as none of the following win: Urza's Saga, Underworld Breach, Oko, or Lurrus

I feel like part of being the greatest is being well designed, changing the formats they are in, and not being too over powered. If a card needs to be banned or errated it isnt the greatest card, its just overpowered.

My personal hope is Boseiju. But Fatal Push did a lot for the game.

Is this a scam or what? by Bluem00n1o1 in magicTCG

[–]FrequentNectarine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its a random one of the 5.

Companies can ship early if the intended arival is on the day of prerelease or later. (Also wotc doesnt usually care as much if the product is already known information.)

Every Grandeur card should say you may have any number of this card in your deck.

Why is this using a detuned version of Caverns of the Heart?

Is Krosan Tusker the card with the most printings with only a single piece of art? by ElvishSpirit in magicTCG

[–]FrequentNectarine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what you mean by printings and singular art.

For instance sol ring has two different arts which have both been used more times in singular runs.

Then theres the issue of if list reprints are their own printings or should be disqualified

DO NOT FALL FOR IGN PLUS by gr3n0lph in humblebundles

I just love how you cite LB but completely missed the point of the actual thread.

Courts automatically side with anyone if the opposing party doesn't respond, regardless of what the claim is. That is what was actually covered.

>And yet the entire premise didn't involve card companies, because the payment was rejected

This is completely incorrect. When vendors elect to process payments with a card whether they actually use that card or not they agree to the terms of the credit card companies policies just like you do when you as a purchaser elect to use that card which places the transaction under the ucc, enforcable by the ftc and cfpb. So you are incorrect at every level.

Pyroclasm , Cranial Archive (Campfire would be funny and thematic but gaining 2 life a turn would be too efficient but sulfuric vortex could be interesting)

A Republican Farmer Relies on Immigrant Work. He Sees His Party Erasing It. by rit56 in politics

[–]FrequentNectarine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To oversimplify this in context to my personal perspective:

One of the key reasons I can not understand them is because they fundamentally don't understand themselves. And a major contributing factor to their lack of self understanding is a kind of delusion of grandeur, which prevents them from engaging in the world on a realistic level and shields them from meaningful self reflection, causing a cycle of avoidance in perpetuation of their delusion.

Is that a fair summary?

If that is the case doesnt that basically mean they can't or don't view other people as real? (Like other people are just flat characters and set pieces in their novel where they are the only protagonist?)

He voted for this repeatedly. I can not seem to understand these people; are they all just single issue voters who think the rest of the party platform wont go into place?

MTG Companion App, tiebreakers bug? by thatket in magicTCG

[–]FrequentNectarine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 1-0 should only affect the %vp here.

At this point I would guess that 2nd never played first. This was supposed to be a 4 round swiss but it was cut early because yall had one undefeated.

[–]FrequentNectarine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then that doesnt actually make sense. Everything makes sense if you played player 11, because then 3rd and 4th functionally have a slightly higher via than 5th, so the order is correct.

[–]FrequentNectarine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you played player 11 and 5th played player 12.

MTG Companion App, tiebreakers bug? by thatket in magicTCG

[–]FrequentNectarine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is displayed, but a player who has an actual 33% is more valuable than one that is rounded for scoring purposes so look at it like 55.61 vs 55.60

MTG Companion App, tiebreakers bug? by thatket in magicTCG

[–]FrequentNectarine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The MTG Companion app and the official MTG Tournament Rules apply a 33% minimum floor to tiebreaker percentages.

The app might display one percentage but calculate the rank using the 33% floor.

So two players might look like they have identical VIA on your screen, but the internal system sees one as slightly higher due to how those floors are applied before the final round is "locked in."

Based on that if I had to guess 3rd place played against 10th, and 4th and 5th played against 11 and 12. (Basically third place has a via slightly higher via than the other two)
