That deck existed in a vacuum. The interactions that card had with other cards was severely limited in comparison to our current pool.

I'm also not familiar with Sphinx of Jwar Isle. Was that in DOTP 2015? I always assumed Oracle when people said we had that ability before. But, again this isn't the exact same as that card, Sphinx doesn't let you cast the card you're looking at.

It was in MindStorms in 2013, there was actually a combo that I used a few times with the Sphinx and with Djinn of Wishes were I would cast a creature from the top of my library on blocking phases.

Difference between older stuff we had and the Vizier is that Vizier is a peek whenever you want rather than constantly revealing the top card.

Game needs to accept my money so I can start deck building proper. On the upside story mode was fun - though I kinda expected the Gatewatch to make some kind of appearance. How am I supposed to keep track of Magic's ongoing story without it being conveniently summarized for me between rounds?


I never did get my purchased gold. Didn't get charged so there's that, gonna try again in the morning.

on the bright side, it'll just be like that forever.

Not all of us have what it takes to make rank 40, don't sweat it. Rank 39 is very, very good. Very good.

Anything less than rank 40; you should be ashamed. /s

Did anyone buy any of the new avatars? I'm asking cuz I don't want to put one that everyone else is using.

I'm leaning towards either Lilly or chandra but I'm not sure.

I bought them all, but I'm sticking with Tezzeret.

oh boy, the stars have lined up perfectly for me to be able to play all evening on the ladder trying new Gruul Midrange beatdown and such. Can't wait. There was a cool poker tournament tonight with a 500k guarantee (which is a huge overlay for only 1.2k players) but i can't really play on day two (Sunday) so I'm gonna skip it and play digital magic instead. Couldn't be happier :)

You and I have very different priorities, because this is the kind of thing that would ruin my month.

Finished +1209 on Friday and +1102 on Wednesday. Very solid takes, both were about 4-5 hour sessions of 2/5 (second was a straddle game, so 2/5/10)

That's excellent. Forced straddle?

You max buy-in? In the first game, shouldn't you stop once you hit 1,250 stack? Seems like that's way too deep stack to play

Well, "mandatory" straddle. Everyone agreed to straddle every hand. Anyone could choose not to, but if they did, everyone else would stop straddling.

And yes, I always max buy in, and I love when stacks get 400+ BBs deep. Alot of solid players get either timid playing super deep or they just suck at playing later streets of action. Since I'm a more aggro player, I can bloat some pots, which doesn't really bug me, but can really negatively affect some other players.
