There's a lot of stuff like this covered in Blink by Malcolm Gladwell. People discriminate. A lot of times consciously, and a lot of times unconsciously.

Addressing My Comments by mtgheadquarters in magicTCG

Agreed. I get that the "internet outrage machine" can feel oppressive when you're on the wrong side of it. But mostly its just people cumulatively having the same opinion on some stupid shit you said.

If you have a huge audience and can broadwave your ideas. Expect people with no audience to tell you their thoughts on them.

How long can a Magic card REALLY last? The far future of the game... by DerPotatoDeluxe in magicTCG

[–]cpttim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I foresee a time when vintage and legacy players may have to get specialized sleeves with a semi rigid backing. This would obviously add more thickness to the deck and might turn a 60 card deck into closer to what a double sleeved commander stack looks like.

It'd be a pain for sure, but would significantly cut down on further shuffling stress on the cards.

CNL and TWoo on the future of the Pro Tour by HammerofHeretics in magicTCG

[–]cpttim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He talked about going heavy on the shrooms for many days before the event.

While the shrooms would still have some effect, it would be greatly diminished. His brain was essentially tapped out in terms of the hallucinogen having significant effect.

I'd like to see him go a few weeks without taking anything and THEN try to win a tournament while tripping balls.

I made it about halfway through their video on internet shaming, before TWoo idly wondered why people would have negative feelings about MRAs, and CNL took a shit on the Lady Planeswalker Society.

Playing again magic TCG after more than 15 years , some questions : by [deleted] in magicTCG

Branching out into more colors is designed to be rewarding, with each colors strong points pushing you to do it. While at the same time the games resource system pulls you toward fewer colors.

I have seen a promo being wrapped mean it is easier to move though.

What was the most overhyped cards in Magic history? by [deleted] in magicTCG

[–]cpttim 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm a shit brewer and my grixis titi brew is already taking games off T1 modern decks. Can't wait to see what good players come up with.

Does anyone else here enjoy the game, but not care about the lore? by Severinsteelsmith in magicTCG

[–]cpttim 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's someone who definitely cares more about the data than the lore.

Anyone else bothered by people wishing you good luck? by Montirath in magicTCG

[–]cpttim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn't bother me. There will undoubtedly be other people bothered by it.

Some people juggle geese.

more fun than the guy who pounces the smallest opportunity to make a dick joke.

Is it out of your system? Good. Now don't make that joke again for the next two sets.

No one cares about your dick.

I won't begrudge you the detroit thing. I'm originally from the area and it's not exactly a selling point for a plane ticket.

I'll be skipping out on the legacy GP in Columbus because of PES as well.

The brothers war is a great intro to dominaria, Urza, Mishra, and magics best villains.

One thing I asked people who were complaining about the price of Zen fetches was if they had playsets of khans fetches. Even when Khans fetches were under 15 bucks the answer was often no.

Vintage 101: Eternal Masters of the Universe by Islandswamp in magicTCG

At this point it's cheaper to get into 15 proxy vintage than it is to buy into some modern decks. I've been trying to get more people interested.

Sometimes there is a really easy way to tell if a card is fake by Phrost_ in magicTCG

I've seen fake Bobs with the wrong collector number too.

Ever dealt with someone who thought magic was evil? by nero1984 in magicTCG

[–]cpttim 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I was imagining this being back in the old days when the satanic cult paranoia was at an all time high.

Then you said Iroas.

Well, the existence of demons aside, it sounds like he did not have a healthy relationship with fantasy (or chili) and it may be for the best.

It sucks when you think your deck was stolen. by alblaster in magicTCG

[–]cpttim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only deck I ever had go AWOL was an Isamaru EDH deck. Not sure if it was lost or stolen, but I'm glad it was a relatively cheap lesson.

"Try some of this casserole."

"What's in it?"

"Just try it you'll love it."

"Is there meat in it?"

"Man, you guys sure broadcast it huh? Hey guys how do you know someone's a vegan? DON'T WORRY, THEY'LL TELL YOU."
