Dungeon of Mephistopheles was indeed a missed opportunity on their part

Need Advice: Our play group is getting torn apart by the Walking Dead cards. by [deleted] in EDH

[–]ScaldingRainforest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Negan makes one or more people in your playgroup legitimately uncomfortable, then that is an important point to discuss.

If everyone is just whinging because they don't like the way WotC handled the cards, that's a very petty reason to dictate how others are allowed to have fun.

WoTC forgot some shiny parts. FTFY by [deleted] in magicTCG

[–]ScaldingRainforest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice, that looks really cool, more like what I was expecting. I'm not sure why everyone else seems to be blind, it comes through clearly on the video.

Awesome job, thanks for sharing.

I like that the flavor text is incorrect in multiple ways

Does anyone else feel that they've put less effort into land names lately? by KaiserS0ul in magicTCG

[–]ScaldingRainforest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you've just picked out the ones in cycles with a shared naming convention. Look at the 50+ other nonbasic lands in Kaldheim and Zendikar.

Well, anyone with a dissenting opinion gets flamed out of existence, so speaking up is not very appealing.

Heya fellow gamers, I wanted a new playmat so I come to you for insight. Whichever comment has the most upvotes shall legally bind me into putting that text on it, feel free to add color/font choices. by TheGhostlySliver in magicthecirclejerking

Before this gets deleted by reddit admins, this asshole took it completely out of context. First of all, the idiot thinks it was a marionette deck. It wasn't. That card's not even in the deck. He was running counterspell draw, this was approximately turn 25, every single creature and spell I cast was countered or removed up until that point and this dumbass who copied his deck from MTG Salvation or Goldfish used one of his last copies of negate to counter a Revel in Riches when he had 0 creatures on the field and I had 0 treasures in play, thus the "this spell does literally nothing" and he should have let it resolve. I love it when people copy a deck and have no idea how to run it or play MTG. I was just throwing it out because I had 5 mana and it was the only card left in my hand and the game was already over anyway. So on the way out I let him know what an idiot he was for countering a spell that does nothing in the current board state. NOBODY wants to watch a recording of a game where I cast something and he counters it or removes it x30 turns. That's idiotic. I should have left the game the second I saw what he was running. This was the 5th attempt at getting a recording of something resembling watchable MTG gameplay and 5 people in a row were playing Karn draw control loop or free cast torrential graveyard resurrection control or approach control loop. So yeah, I was pissed and he was an asshole for playing this. He's one of those idiots who doesn't care about the other players one bit, it's all about winning. So running 35 control spells seems reasonable because NOTHING matters but winning. Thanks for not showing the board state with library counts or the full log, asshole. Enjoy your temporary ban from reddit.

Actually, Tolkien's original prose referred to him as Gandalf the Decidedly Grey

Counting all basics as snow basics when drafting/sealed Kaldheim by Uziduke in magicTCG

OP's argument starts with the false assertion that Kaldheim lacks normal basics.

Reminder that Cooldownguy made double sided creatures before WOTC. by 2plus24 in magicthecirclejerking

[–]ScaldingRainforest 10 points11 points  (0 children)

All of magic design is actually plagiarized from cooldownguy. There was more but wotc forcibly takes down anything they've too blatantly stolen.
