card text is just rotated with the whole card frame
I get the joke
but the word order in the flavor text is reversed, but the rest of the formatting is the same
That irks me to no end. I get that it's separately referring to the turn order being reversed, but it would feel more consistent if they also mirrored the flavor text typeface or something.

people post online about card curling all the time and i have never had a single card curl even a little. i hate foils tho, so that might be a factor, but otherwise you need to remember that the internet makes a mountain out of every mole hill.
none of my A25 cards have any curl.
because you can tap it to add a charge counter and then remove that charge counter at the beginning of your precombat main phase to add one mana of any color.

Man, the play group that plays at the new comic and game store (that just opened up a month ago) is trying to do an EDH league. We had a poll on two separate sets of scoring rules, and this one guy just will not accept Order of Elimination points. He’s gone on a huge rant about why is bad and wrong and unfun, called out literally everybody who had voted for it, and then posted an entirely new poll specifically for Order of Elimination points.
I’ve had three different people who were gung-ho about the league tell me that if it’s going to be like this they aren’t going to play.
I don’t want this new game store to lose business because this one guy has a stick up his ass about one particular way of scoring.

How do you guys feel about this?
I buy only one copy of a card if its value is over 10$. I put those cards in a binder and put proxies of them in all my decks. If someone gets pissed at my proxies (which are good quality) I show them the real card in the binder. Some people are still pissed though. Why? Am I just surrounded by rich autists?

You've killed this blossoming gamestore with your stupid shit user. You should be ashamed.
All extra rules are horrible, without exception, particularly scoring points for your victories or whatever. You just have 4 player pods where you play down to see who wins, then do another tournament. If people are faggots such as yourself, have a "casual" tournament with all your bullshit separate from the actual tournament with significantly worse prize support. Why? Because cherry picking rules so you win is stupid, regardless of spike and his $5k deck.

That’s the thing. This Spike was the guy pushing for the League. The difference is he wanted a bunch of rules like “Get points for sickest play” or “Best Deck”. But a reasonable rule comes around where it’s not winner takes all, and he fucking explodes.
Luckily it’s just an EDH league, and he’s very unlikely to come to any other event.

Well i got some new cards today /edh/ My friend pawned them off to me after he told me he's returning to mexico. Apparently he got banned from the school and labeled a dangerous person after someone reported him to the police for making threats. I don't believe it myself, the guy's too nice for that. I'm always that guy who takes his friends cards if they're taking a break or leaving the game but, fuck. i'm just sitting here at two in the morning with his cards in my hands and just feeling a bit hollow about the whole ordeal. at least he got his bachelors while he was here but he was going for his masters.

21 months ago
Oh wait, you are supporting the idea that its good to have good prize support for first, slightly worse for second, worse than that for 3rd, etc?
You are fucking retarded and he is right. That shit would encourage collusion like no other.
That being said, EDH with any prize support on the line for winning is fucking retarded and you will never get a good meta that way.
If you want a good model for your LGS to follow, I have successful one that works at an LGS I go to. They have EDH nights once a week, and you sign up on a sheet when you show up and play a game. As long as you play at least one game you get entered into a raffle. Each week you show up to play on EDH night you get entered again. Once a month on a random EDH night they draw the prizes, which are usually just playmats, sleeves, and deckboxes, but they do other stuff from time to time, like special promotional material they get from wotc too, like airships and posters, or a FtV. The number of prizes they give away is tied to how many people are showing up to events (we average 20+ people an EDH night)
There is no cover or anything, so you might ask yourself "How does the shop make money?" and the answer to that, other than keeping lots of food and drink to sell on hand, is to actually cater to EDH players. They actually have plenty of deckboxes in stock for double sleeved 100 card decks in variety of colors and styles. They keep EDH singles in stock whenever they can, and keep an online database of their singles so you don't have to dig through boxes for jank. Finally their sleeve collection is enormous (and they are sure to stock every kind of Dragonshield they can, since its really popular for EDH for a lot of reasons).
They actually have a binder specifically for sleeves, so people can pick up the sleeves and check out their color, feel, and opacity.
Run something like this by them and see what you can do. They have had a lot of success with it.

21 months ago
It is what I hope for but I think it will not happen.
I like her, so much, she was the proto-Eldrazi and much more Lovercraftian than their reprise in BFZ and SOI.
I mean, she could move between planes without being a planeswalker, simply because she had (has?) so much power that she didn't care. To slow her, making her sleep, she had to be put in a motherfucking glacier.
But so soon after having four Eldrazi-dedicated sets... I doubt we will see her

I honestly really, really hope we see a new card of her. Holy crap that would be cool.
Honestly I love the Eldrazi, so I was hoping we could get something like that from this block as well. I mean, how could something so powerful go unnoticed for so long unless it went to a different plane? Surely WotC has recognized how popular Dark Depths has become over the years and how people want to know more about Marit Lage. And she's even depicted on that new saga card called Time of Ice. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we get her as a card in this block.

I mean, it could be possible. That would be really cool, but for some reason I get the feeling that isn't the case. I'd like it to be. Like the Raven Man has been a projection or a hallucination that Marit Lage has put into Liliana's head all this time.

Some people are still pissed though. Why?
because you're playing with fake cards. it doesn't matter if you own the card if it's not in play. people proxying the same expensive staple across all their decks come across as supremely autistic. also, a lot of your opponents would also probably proxy the same across all their decks, but they don't because proxying isn't legal.
essentially, they're mad because you're breaking the rules. if you want to proxy, ask for consent of every person at your table. and don't whine if people start proxying mana crypts they don't own all of a sudden, because a proxy is a proxy.
