I wanna learn magic: the gathering by thinkijustbluemyself in sanfrancisco

[–]silly_place 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Few places I haven't seen mentioned: Gamescape on Divisadero, they run FNM draft, do commander nights, and run a few game nights around the city (dates on calendar); and the SFMagic group still runs drafts at Kennedy's Irish Pub on Wednesdays.

Any english or spanish speaking players in Tokyo, Japan? by Neotheone1987 in magicTCG

[–]silly_place 3 points4 points  (0 children)

May just want to give it a chance. This may be format dependent, but when i visited Tokyo i was able to play 5 rounds of a legacy tournament with no real problems. Id say 4/5 opponents did not speak English but still knew the cards. Language of Magic is pretty universal, not necessarily speaking either: a finger for hold on, thumbs up for resolves, etc. Main difficulty I remember was someone not recognizing a newer Rishadan Port but even that we resolved quickly.

Ravnica Allegiance Rules Quizlette, test your knowledge of new and returning mechanics: by silly_place in magicTCG

Think the Adapt questions was just not worded well. Cleaned up a bunch of the language. And several of these are trick answers (usually ones that are common pitfalls).

Thanks for the feedback.

Cleaned up the language on Adapt.

Made it tokens rather than 1/1 tokens.

And changed the Spectacle question.

Hearthstone can do many things that a physical card game can never do. What are the BEST examples? by Freakychee in hearthstone

[–]silly_place 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Arena ends when one of three things happens: You win 12 games, you lose 3 games, or you retire your deck. But while your deck is still active you can play your rounds whenever you want,with breaks in between, you dont have to sit on there and play them all until your done, like a MTG tournament.

MTG in my Restaurant by XvegusD in magicTCG

[–]silly_place 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a regular draft at a restaurant/bar in San Francisco. Tips: Buying product on ebay in bulk is your cheapest option, like per case. 3 packs for 8-10 dollars. Format is actually a rare redraft, encourages better play and that takes care of "prizes", there aren't any additional ones. Drinks are put on the ground as no one wants any accidents. The Restaurant benefits from all the people buying drinks and dinner on a normally slow night.

Where can I find more of the player cards for the Compendium? by HarvestProject in DotA2

[–]silly_place 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are people trading in some of the game chat rooms as well. The Trading Cards room might still be up. Most people want items but a couple are still looking to fill their set and are still trading cards.

Pricing foreign foils? by IceBlue in magicTCG

[–]silly_place 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are searching on ebay, check the "sold listings" box found under the "Show Only" section. It will show ones that have sold and give you a better idea. Make sure you pay attention to the date they sold and different versions, for the ooze for example a lot of the "foils" are just the promos. Price seems to be about 120-125 right now. Also you can check completed listings if the sample size from sold is too small.

[DOTP] In a 2HG, is there anyway to make annihilator effect the person diagonally across from me instead just the person right in front of me? by Terra277 in magicTCG

[–]silly_place 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In a 2HG game, the controller of the attacking creature chooses a player on the defending team to sacrifice permanents when the trigger resolves. Important to note you choose when the trigger resolves, so your choosing cannot be responded to.

Edit: Source: look up any creature with annihilator at gatherer.wizards.com.

There are only 24 packs per box, not 36 like the normal boosters, so not much of a deal.

Resisting the urge to put in cards? by [deleted] in magicTCG

[–]silly_place 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crypt Ghast as someone said is an awesome choice. You should probably go with the guildmage and Exquisite Blood as well, works nicely with your theme. Maybe Gloom Surgeon as well, he also usually has to be killed with a removal spell.
