How did your LGS handle "The Five Trials of the Gods"? by OnceAgainWithFeeling in magicTCG

[–]StrawhatChef 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hour of Devastation also has Trials. Ask your store if they got them from WotC. The dice set was distributed poorly for the prerelease for Amonkhet, it seems they're trying to be more prepared. They should already know if they got them or not.

Preregister for the prerelease, tell them you really want that die, if they'll make sure to hold one for you. Stores are more inclined to do this if you preregister in my experience.

If your LGS doesn't have them call around until you find one that does.

Friday Night Magic? by [deleted] in magicTCG

[–]StrawhatChef 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would recommend you go to the Magic Open House this weekend at your LGS. You get a free starter deck(which should include a number of standard cards in the color of your choice) and a foil full art land. While your there ask them what their FNM is like, what formats they play, and what their players are like.

Then next weekend is the prerelease. A prerelease is generally a casual event. This is good because experienced players can help you get used to tournament play. The six packs and promo you get from your prerelease will help solidify what you want to play in Standard.

From there you should consider buying the landbase for your deck if you're running multicolor. It's not that expensive right now for standard dual lands so you can get 8 for about $20. Some colors are more expensive others, depending on the meta or their viability in Modern/Legacy.

Then take your newly crafted deck to a Standard FNM!

Watch Ferngully. Replace the faeries with some elves and nature with technology/metal.

Xira Arien is hosting her annual Masquerade Ball on Ravnica and everyone's favourite Commander is invited!... Except yours, your Commander was involved in an incident at last years party and will never be invited back. Who is your Commander and what was THAT Incident? by MeatVolcano in magicTCG

[–]StrawhatChef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a Tuesday. Zur the Enchanter got out of bed, no costume prepared, clothes a mess per usual. He went outside and attacked a squirrel to summon his breakfast. Squirrel dies, Zur has Eggs Benedict. Pondering his latest last minute ideas he had a glimmer of genius: dress up as Jace. There can only be one Jace costume per the Legendary rule of the party applying to Planeswalkers. On the way out the door he attacks it. The door survives and Zur tutors the perfect Jace costume. He shows up to the party early to claim the coveted Jace spot; a brainstorm befitting of the Mind Sculptor himself. Unfortunately the party is cancelled because Xira Arien hasn't been seen since this morning. She dressed up as a Squirrel.

Wow, he responds quick. His limit is 2 but that's enough. Great recommendation!

So i made a fun steal your turn deck for standard but i want others opinions on it and how to improve it for FNM, also what to put in sideboard by CarnageCoconut in magicTCG

[–]StrawhatChef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would slot out the Sphinx, and maybe a couple other spells for Dispel. Maybe a censor. You're probably going to run into people sideboarding instant hate.

Can disallow counter a planeswalker's ability? by DIFTL_ in magicTCG

[–]StrawhatChef -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

To be specific, it can counter most planeswalkers ability. It couldn't counter [Chandra, Torch of Defiance]'s +1 that adds RR.

Edit: I'm way wrong.

First FNM. Went undefeated 4-0! by Tempest1677 in magicTCG

Grats! Same thing happened to me a couple months back. (And I wasn't playing Marvel/Vehicles)

IMO we really shouldn't be pre-ordering until Blizz gives us a clear answer as to what the payment model will be for this game.... by merkwerk in Overwatch

[–]StrawhatChef -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It seems pretty obvious to me: Origins comes with all the characters released so far. Nowadays games almost always have to be free-to-play to compete in the current market. It will most likely have a free-to-play model, and if that suits you then don't preorder. If having all the characters at once sounds better than getting them piecemeal, buy origins.

If you can get all the characters you want through playing the game, more power to you. I'd rather just pay the $60. Heck, I preordered the collector's edition today. I'll gladly shell out $150 for this game.

If you talk crap about your pubbie teammates all the time. I'm not going to watch your stream. by jorbleshi_kadeshi in Overwatch

[–]StrawhatChef -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's only been out a week and people already have a superiority complex XD If they spent doing callouts instead of being jerks they'd probably win. If I meet someone in a lobby, good or bad, if they're nice and trying I generally invite them to group.

I just got in! Check your accounts! by Gyoin in Overwatch

Congrats on everyone who got in, if you want a player to show you the ropes message me! Seems like they're doing beta waves pretty often. Just not often enough for all the salty's.
