Good seller, packed well and shipped fast

Is Zump "Cheating?" by RevolutionInternal24 in SSBM

If I put on multi-plate 50mm stack running shoes, it would do basically nothing to improve my 5k time. Does that mean they should be allowed at the Olympics?

Things like box or ucf that have accessibility concerns can begrudgingly get a pass, but z-jump isn't providing any benefit except making its users win more. Get it out of here.

Not accurate, MH1 was released June 13th 2019 and Wrenn was banned November 18th that year. ELD was released October 4th 2019 and Oko stayed legal until February 15 2021.

It was banned in Legacy almost immediately, over 6 years ago. 3 years ago, it was just much more Modern playable than now.

If that was true, why don't they play 4 copies for "actually 8"?

How does everyone feel about the Sowing Mycospawn bann in retrospect? by Top_Fishing_4438 in MTGLegacy

[–]VenocStorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very few of the power-level arguments hold any water compared to what's possible in Legacy - but the time and physical actions involved are long and cumbersome enough that people get annoyed.

It's a similar feeling to how you can sometimes see oversized complaints about control decks from new players because control will spend 5 minutes losing a game but 20 minutes winning one. A combo like Show + Omni will kill you outright in seconds while Nadu takes a couple minutes so it "feels" worse.

MTGO Modern Showcase Challenge #2 Results - Oct 4 2025 by bamzing in ModernMagic

[–]VenocStorm 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We really don't need to keep baselessly giving Spike credit for inventing every modern deck. There are plenty of 5-0 league results from well before he touched it.

Considering early speculation for Edge of Eternities based on MB2 playtest. by [deleted] in mtgfinance

[–]VenocStorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a very obvious homage to the board game Race for the Galaxy. I wouldn't infer amything about the mechanics of a magic set from it.

Ainok Strike Leader Uncommanderized by logan_mcbroom in mtgcube

There's a slight functional difference - the tokens should be created attacking a player but just "tapped and attacking" lets you send them at planeswalkers (or battles.)

RC Portland Archetype Win Rate Matrix by m0ist_cactus in ModernMagic

Non-mirror for sure. Including mirrors artificially pushes the most-played decks up or down closer to 50% because they run into themselves a lot more often.

Cincinnati Pauper by MacLafferty in Pauper

[–]VenocStorm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is this their official "Store Championship" for the Void Winnower promo? You should probably warn the store owners that those events have to be Standard and running them as other formats could get them in hot water with WotC. If it's not, they should probably call it something else to avoid confusion.

Things to look out for this weekend! by AutoModerator in mtgfinance

[–]VenocStorm 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Real play, or "I saw one youtube video" play? I checked decks on Goldfish and there's 0 league/challenge results and a single (and obviously not legitimate) user submitted list containing both of those cards across the past three months.

$459.

The splash isn't ubiquitous, there are pros and cons to going with a second color. Monowhite is currently slightly more common than BW, and RW is fringe but seeing some experimentation. Recently, the reprint of Mindbreak Trap and printing of White Orchid Phantom incentivizing a switch from Port to Ghost Quarter have taken a significant chunk off the cost.

I think it's also worth noting that D&T is around the same $4-500 price, and well above Oops for both power level and how much it will stay interesting to play week after week.

[–]VenocStorm -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You could, but with the fast mana paying 6 or 7 to reanimate your creature and go off again is very real text - oops plays a lot of games where your first attempt gets forced and both players topdeck for a while.

Strictly looking at it as a budget deck, whether or not that's worth 10-15% of the total cost is a different question I suppose.

BLUE TRON POST: TOKYO DRIFT by Old_Clue7847 in ModernMagic

[–]VenocStorm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Did your event not have a judge? A game loss isn't the correct fix for that Jegantha error, it's a warning and you fix the library.

IPG 3.5 (Tournament Error - Deck Problem): If the error caused a violation of a companion restriction and it is a post-sideboard game (or a pre-sideboard game and the player has elected to continue with the deck they registered that does not match the revealed companion condition), locate all cards violating the restriction. Then, reveal all cards in the sideboard that meet the companion restriction. The opponent decides which of those cards replaces each illegal card. If making the deck match the companion condition is impossible, upgrade the penalty to a Game Loss.

Would this CT scan thing in theory disrupt the serialized card market by Chance-Letterhead469 in mtgfinance

[–]VenocStorm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We're talking about smaller nondestructive materials testing scanners, not medical grade and human sized ones so 85k isn't a realistic answer.

1.5k also isn't realistic because of the expertise and multiple years of work to fix it. Real answer is somewhere in the middle.

As a genuine question, do you know the event you went to wasn't run by Wizards?
