I would hope with these bannings that WOTC will possibly add a new standard of appropriate and inappropriate deck cuts.

You would think that instead of devoting all this time to cheating, they would use it to practice and improve their skills 😔

It's so scummy seeing someone taking advagantage of the other player who is assuming both are playing honestly.

Imagine being that guy that all of a sudden got rookie of the year!

Pretty rad for him.

Jared kinda seemed like a douche.

On the brighter side, I'm glad to see that WotC seems to be starting to crack down on these cheating idiots.

It's sad that they needed the recent flood of cheaters (or at least them getting caught) to start a crackdown, but at least they seem to be doing something about it.

Of course it's even more sad that they have to do anything in the first place. I still don't "get" cheating, and I never will. What's wrong with these people? Is it insecurity? Greed? Compensation for shortcomings elsewhere? All of the above?

Edit: btw when I saw the topic I thought {Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord} had gotten banned from a format for some reason. Needless to say, I was quite confused by the thought :P

Sometimes it's good to read the other topics in the forum so you don't post redundant articles

It's an oft used ability. I use it occasionally behind the scenes to compile threads and make different mods into OP in some trading threads. It's all kinda just boring stuff :P
