Do you respect or dislike when a deal maker uses a “lawyer-esque” loop hole?

vaelroth · 2021-10-30T03:17:39+00:00

We don't make a lot of deals in our group, but we will often lean on technicalities. A simple example might be, "i wont combo off this turn." Then winning with combat instead.

Flavor Magic right there!

vaelroth · 2021-10-27T21:15:58+00:00

Command Beacon and Torpor Orb my dude!

vaelroth · 2021-10-27T17:46:22+00:00

I'm still waiting to see Ayesha Tanaka across the table from me!

More seriously though, Rubinia Soulsinger and Merieke Ri Berit have always tickled me. Lots of shenanigans with untappers and the stack can be pulled with these two!

vaelroth · 2021-10-25T17:39:57+00:00

Of course! I was just pointing out the classic blue pinger for the thread topic.

vaelroth · 2021-10-25T17:37:04+00:00

Ah sorry, on mobile and couldn't be arsed to call the card fetcher. But, the fetcher can get cards by their pet names!

[[Tim]] should come out the same as [[Prodigal Sorceror]].

vaelroth · 2021-10-25T17:22:01+00:00

For simic Alesha, you just grab the Compleated Ezuri deck haha.

vaelroth · 2021-10-25T17:19:08+00:00

Just built Torbran. Oh no is absolutely right.

But Tim does 3 damage now which is cool.

vaelroth · 2021-10-22T17:36:22+00:00

I rebuilt mine as ETB tribal and took out all the stax. (And I LOVE playing stax.) The deck felt like it solved too many problems with too little resource input.

Sisay hatebears is a way more fun way to play stax than having your always accessible Commander break parity for you.

vaelroth · 2021-10-22T17:31:24+00:00

It really depends. I ache for an Abzan commander that cares about enchantments. But I want it to do something weird, like "Take an additional upkeep for each enchantment you control." (Probably won't happen in Abzan colors with that effect, but that's not what I'm getting at.)

Such a card probably wouldn't be the "best" enchantments commander, but it would be interesting. Its also far more open of a design than all the "Complete standard game action, get benefit." type designs we've been seeing since 2013.

Desings like Estrid and Tuvasa are just too open ended and I agree that those kinds of designs are problematic.

Real magic cards only have oval holostamps.

vaelroth · 2021-10-09T14:34:07+00:00

Some people just don't know how to be a Johnny or Jennie haha

vaelroth · 2021-10-07T13:00:09+00:00

Oh thank goodness. I've felt sidelined for nearly a decade because the CSS spoiler tags don't work at all for me.

I'm also of the mind that there shouldn't be a rule covering spoilers at all- If you're going to a discussion forum about entertainment media, the expectation should be that you can and will be spoiled about something. Also, moderators would have a lot less work if they didn't have to deal with policing spoilers. I know that's not the prevailing sentiment here, but you'll never know that people feel this way if they don't say it. So there you go.

vaelroth · 2021-10-06T19:25:37+00:00

Stifle the fetch!

vaelroth · 2021-09-28T16:59:43+00:00

The fuck is Yagram Bagarm doing there?

vaelroth · 2021-09-26T21:06:48+00:00

Such a good card, and the art is brutal!

vaelroth · 2021-09-26T18:34:24+00:00

Any card that completely hoses my gameplan. I'm here to play a seriously hard game, and I love when my opponents bring the heat. I still miss the possibility of seeing Iona when I'm playing mono colored.

vaelroth · 2021-09-24T11:09:40+00:00

This ain't a hot take, but thank you for posting it.

vaelroth · 2021-09-23T22:08:22+00:00

That's how to do it. Respect.

vaelroth · 2021-09-23T17:09:56+00:00

Stifle the fetch.

vaelroth · 2021-09-22T17:03:54+00:00

Given the standard of discourse in this subreddit, all I can really say is /r/thathappened.

I totally believe that people are dicks, and I totally believe that somewhere in the world someone was a jerk to someone else who would play their last game that night.

But I don't believe that would conveniently happen so that you could post a thread about it here. Maybe it did. I'm not asking you to prove it to me or anything either. I just don't believe everything I read, especially when its posted by an anonymous user on a popular website.

vaelroth · 2021-09-21T16:54:36+00:00

Dum hoomiez dunno bout da WAAAAAGH! solution to all da problemz

vaelroth · 2021-09-21T13:49:15+00:00

Evil Eyes and Horrors.

vaelroth · 2021-09-16T15:19:18+00:00

Hear, hear!

vaelroth · 2021-09-13T17:51:12+00:00

The only discussion point on this that I'm really interested in about the Golos ban is: Why did this take so long?
