ranked Lorcana Stream: *guy hits vape pen* yeah AWNW is pretty well positions into the Ruby Amethyst matchup
#2
ranked Lorcana Stream: *woman dressed as Minnie Mouse* yeah I really can't wait to build the maleficent deck when set 3 comes out!!!
Player: is that dude in the red hat our judge
Me: that's a lady
Player: what
-we do this literally 3 times-
Player: so is it a real lady
Me: ... yes
Them: well, ya know [defensively] Asians are androgynous
I really need magic players to know that lorcana has GP level events giving out like, half a million dollars in prixes, like every month in North America
The game doesn't even suck
This is PROOOBABLY a cEDH deck.
Play commander. Trigger on the stack, sac it. Trigger resolves, exile your cards. Reanimate your commander. Do this until you have the Angel and Hunter, reanimate the Angel. Loop hunter and Angel, mill opponents until they die!
Mild take, judges shouldn't be checking for counterfeits unless they are unbelievably obvious
The list blood crypt looks unbelievably fake all the time, and I'm kinda shocked someone signed off on it being fake
Judges told me my Blood Crypt (list version) was fake and that they had used a loop to check, so I must replace it.
Took it to 3 different vendors afterward, and they all told me it was real.
Alright. I spoke to Lynch last night and he seemed to suggest that things were entirely settled between these two. I was totally played and I'm genuinely am sorry for believing him. Clearly the world he's living in and trying to bring other people to believe in isn't real.
A snapshot of the current legacy metagame vs the current Modern metagame
Can't help but notice that both of these formats are pretty much equally inaccessible. I honestly find most of the discourse about Legacy's inaccessibility greatly exaggerated.
Last night someone told me that the best way to judge if a deck is a cEDH deck is "cEDH decks never have to mulligan because every card is so good that your sevens are never bad" and I literally told them I was the worst person on earth he could have said that to
My local playgroup said I was making them "uncomfortable" when I played infect last night. I guess my atraxa deck didn't "respect boundaries" and I should "take some time to reflect my impact"
Also no one complimented my new Chandra/Liliana playmat!
It’s so funny watching dockside go from
- good
- really good in cEDH
- only good in some metas
- a commander staple
- the best red card in commander
- the best card in commander
WotC printed a really cool engine in the most recent Commander product. Once you have two clues, you can put a counter on a clue, sac it, put the counter on the 2nd clue, make a third clue, repeat.
Walked up to a random game of old school, thought I'd watch and ask questions.
20 minutes into my asking tons of questions about rules a judge comes and remarks this is the finals of the Gencon Old School tournament 😵💫😵💫😵💫

yesterday. Draws were A+ and I was 6-0, 12-0 so that was cool.
Forth Eorlingas! was fine and easy to sb out (my fav kind of card).
I cut magus for 4th Faerie, 4th Forth.
Played an easy deck and after 17 rounds of a format I don’t play, my brain is fried.
I think dropping "enters the battlefield" for "enters" is a fine change, although I imagine ETB is going to stick around as the abbreviation, since "E" doesn't really work.

I am infinitely more cool with flag burning than patriotic underwear
One is a genuine political statement where the other is toxic and stupid patriotism
@Nickthos
Magic being cool and mysterious and not purely bland and utilitarian is a good thing in moderation and I think decks like tron and scam having weird names in magic's most popular eternal format is pretty cool texture
Every give a shout out to SCG organized play staff for taking this stuff seriously and also having to hear about it and deal with it in the first place
CW: transphobia
This dude got banned from the event hall for coming up to the stage & asking if he could use the women’s restroom if he decided on the spot to be trans
When forcefully denied, he said, “Aw c’mon don’t kinkshame me”
Now he’s running crying to his hero. Sad shit
Me: *bumps into Jon finkel*
Me: sorry!
Ross: hit him!
Me: who is that
Ross and Emma: Jon finkel
Me: I'm a fucking zoomer how am I supposed to remember who that is
We are ok with people losing games because they said the wrong thing at the wrong time in a competitive REL event. We should be ok with someone getting a penalty for using the wrong pronouns over and over again and not correcting themselves due to their lack of respect they have.
If you've been putting off buying into cEDH I would think about doing so now. Double Masters seems to just be cEDH Masters. Top, Mana Vault, Bloom Tender, Imperial Seal, Dockside, Koziliek, Cavern of Souls, and more we haven't even seen.
I love Dandan and it is a gift to get to take part in such an amazing video as this one, I hope it inspires people to check out dandan and work on their own versions of the deck!
I think the new Dark Confidant Art is a great example of why diversity is so important.
It seems like many Asian people were clearly offended, and many white people were not.
This is easily solved by having a more diverse space to share ideas and point out problems like this.
Why doesn't WotC just make it a requirement that all sanctioned events over some capacity are required to check if people are vaccinated so this debacle isn't possible and so people who play their game as as safe as possible
Turn 1 sol ring, sol ring, buy obosh
Turn 2 obosh
This format is absolutely out of its mind bonkers and I'm in love with it
I think I'll play Jegantha next
YOU SEE THIS ONE TIME MY OPPONENT PLAYED FORCE OF WILL AGAINST ME AND I WAS WATCHING THE CZ EARLIER THAT DAY AND THEY MENTIONED FORCE OF WILL BEING A CEDH CARD SO THAT NIGHT I WENT OUTSIDE AND KEYED HIS CAR AFTER HE KILLED ME WITH COMMANDER DAMAGE.
HIS COMMANDER? BRUNA DUH
Hey ya'll, two weeks from today is my last day at Star City Games!
I'll be moving back to Pennsylvania to work for
