App is gone. Forum is going. I'm done here. Have a good life guys and dolls.

Ahem....

lolololololol

I wonder if LG's man is gonna start calling it "giving her serum vision"

From my understanding (watching several shows about gambling and slot machines) there is no way a computer can actually "randomize" things.

That's sort of true. Computers use a pseudo random number generator - but for pretty much all purposes related to Magic, it's random.
The reason it's pseudo random is because they use a seed to begin the random number generation. If you know the seed, you can predict all "random" numbers generated by an aolgorithm.

Blaming the shuffler in digital magic is just wrong. Also, it doesn't help to shuffle more in Cockatrice, FYI for those that do that.

Don't blame the shuffler. I'm sorry but when I run a 17 land affinity deck and draw a 7 land hand then a 5 land hand imma call BS. When I run a 25 land deck and go to turn 10 with only three lands that were in my starting hand imma call BS. I understand that that's a possiblility in the realm of randomness but I make damn sure I shuffle better than that IRL.

So you've never gotten land or mana screwed in real life?  To quote you, Imma call BS.
Sure, the shuffler dealt you that hand, but that doesn't mean it's bad.

I get mana screwed/flooded about 1 game in 150 IRL. Untap screws me 1 in 1, unless I overland to an unusable amount

Hit us

I feel like this is counter bait. Play spells that you know will draw a counter, then exile us spell in response.

As long as it's the first card you drew this turn

Some cards I'd like to know where there going after rotation.

{Dragonlord Ojutai}
{Sarkhan Unbroken}
{Nissa Worldwaker}

{Dragonlord Ojutai} is only seeing Standard and EDH play. I'd honestly expect it to settle around $3-$5 as it'll only see EDH play after it rotates, and the FRF version is better as it actually adds to dragon tribal. There is the Elder Dragon swag factor but still. Do note that foils will retain more value, because EDH.

{Sarkhan Unbroken} is hard to speculate. He'll hold place in any Temur inclusive EDH dragon deck. Otherwise he could end up in a {Dragon Tempest} combo deck but that's not likely to be successful. All in all average Planeswalker price of around $6.

{Nissa Worldwaker} why is she still $18‽ What standard deck is playing her? I know she's seeing some fringe modern play, most notably in {Savour the Moment} Superfriends decks but I honestly don't know why she's worth $18 right now. I'd expect around $6 like Sarkhan and other such walkers. {Venser, the Soujourner}, {Gideon Jura}, ect.

A LOT of green decks have one or two in the sideboard. It's very difficult for control to deal with her outside of hero's downfall

And she only plays for {1} if she isn't countered. She is a complete turbo enabler. If you have the worst green deck ever (with zero mana ramp at all) and play her out turn 5, on turn 6, you have access to 10 mana. If she's dropped in a turbo ramp deck and used properly, it able to play ur entire deck by t4.

Two {myr retrievers} and a {Heartless Summoning} is kind of just better because it allows infinite storm count

I might rework my {Minds Desire} deck to incorporate this

Tell him you beat him how it was played and ifs don't mean anything. Counter his ifs with ifs to shows how pointless it is. He needs to get over himself.

"If Ifs and buts was candies and nuts, we'd all have a merry Christmas"

Be respectful. Eye contact. Firm handshake. And like Link said:

Don't dodge around. Be up front and honest. Make your intentions clear. Be ready to answer lots of question.

When I'm losing, I'm more beating myself up. Either I shuffled bad, or I made bad plays, and they came back to haunt me. When I'm winning, I try to be humble. I never get so cocky that I tell people "I have you locked down". I never tip my hand till after I finish the kill. I'll get super confident, but I know how easy it is to go from rockin shop to totally screwed with a single card.

I started playing too.

{Avacyn, Angel of Hope}??? Been mid thirty's and I haven't noticed? Thought it was half that price.

She's been creeping up. I traded one away a few months ago at ~$32. It's to be expected from such a popular commander card

Peep the foil price
