I said "any of you!"
And I got a lot of requests in my inbox. I'm going to run numbers and see if makes sense for me to sell the expensive shit. I got a lot of shit to do all the sudden, so if there is something you absolutely need, please let me know. Thanks guys!

Oh yeah, and then this:
Dimir, Rakdos, Selesnya, Azorius, Gruul confirmed for RTR.
I'm only semi-joking.

I demand to sleep at the foot of your bed.
Fuck yeah at Akroma's memorial, although I fear people will now realize how much of a bomb it is in EDH now that it's easier to get one.
The first five decks being released in the first DoTP expansion?
Selesnya, Azorius, Izzet, Rakdos, Golgari
I'm almost expecting 3 large exansions in a row w/ a set of shared commons.

Forgot what playing combo decks was like until tonight. I sleeved up the Solar Frites deck that Brad Nelson designed and then went on to a frustrating 2-3 night. Seems like every game you rip an opening hand of Bird, Pilgrim, Lingering Souls and 4 lands with no direction whatsoever. Lost my first two matches 2-0 and 2-1 without being graced by the presence of an Unburial Rites, sometimes after digging 25 or so cards deep. So frustrating. I played like butt too. Might be time for a break from the game. Or maybe it's just time to go back to Zombies where life is easy.
I actually pulled that issue out (Don't hate me for loving my old magazines!), and it was Mercenaries and not Wood Elemental, they didn't want any sort of 'regular' big creatures since inevitably the deck would be about beatdown utilizing them, no matter how bad they were. I could probably try to scan the entire article it's only like 3 pages, pretty funny read as always (I also like the older one where they had all the editors playing a game where they each had a deck with every single card in it).

Well if definitely will be...eventually
Bro, you know what I'm looking for!
Was playing DotP12 last night just to unlock everything and I learned that not all illusions dies to being targeted by a spell or ability. Never knew. I wanna say that all current illuions in Standards dies to targeting though (sans protection from Lord of the Unreal).

Trading Post - Artifact (4)
(1) Tap: Discard a card: You gain 4 life.
(1) Tap: Pay 1 life: Put a 0/1 white Goat creature token onto the battlefield.
(1) Tap: Sacrifice a creature: Return target artifact card from your graveyard to your hand.
(1) Tap: Sacrifice an artifact: Draw a card.
(1) Tap: Discard a card: You gain 4 life.
(1) Tap: Pay 1 life: Put a 0/1 white Goat creature token onto the battlefield.
(1) Tap: Sacrifice a creature: Return target artifact card from your graveyard to your hand.
(1) Tap: Sacrifice an artifact: Draw a card.
That's a super interesting concept. I wonder what kind of a home, if any, that deck will find.

I think my favorite was the one were 4 of the editors had to take down Jeff at the same time, using only the crappiest cards in the game, while Jeff was free to use a Type I monster. Argh, now I want to try and hunt down my old issues, and maybe complete the backlog of stuff I didn't have. I didn't discover InQuest until issue #40.
4 mana cmc might keep it out of constructed, but this will be extremely handy in limited and EDH, methinks.
And yeah, Goat tokens rule.
Very reminiscent of Phelladagrif and Questing Phelladagrif and the old ____ Station cycle. Very cool.

I'm going to bet that Trading Post was called "Catan" or something similar in development.
"Arbitrage" (Knowledge Pool was probably "Communism")

He was definitely cheating, there's no way you don't catch that.

I dunno. Some of the things he says makes sense, but I'm not sure I buy it. These explanations with "Chess Blindness" and what have you always seem to completely leave the cheater in an advantageous position.

Guy is really knowledgeable about cheating for someone that doesn't cheat.
Heh. Should tell you something.
He apparently has a clean record, and it is seems not to be Bertoncini-level compulsive cheating (that I heard), so I reckon his ban time will be lower.
If he had called a judge on himself as soon as he saw the Batterskull in his hand (as an extra card that wasn't there before), I could see it being a mistake. I once made a mistake of cutting my opponents morphed creature into his deck- it was face down, he presented his deck for cutting very close to the creature, and I just cut the deck right on top of the face down creature, and handed him his deck back.
If he had called a judge, he probably just gets a game loss (in a game he was going to loose if he didn't get the Batterskull), and the world moves on. Now, he is probably getting a 6 month ban.

Pretty much. And I don't know, I still don't like how he picked it up where it was clearly separated from his hand and he picked it up with his non-dominant hand which like other people said, it would feel awkward doing that so I can't see how nothing in his mind threw up a red flag or felt he didn't have to mention it.

He cheated. The rest of this shit is smoke and mirrors from an idiot who believes he's smarter than everybody. He thought he could get away with it...period. Now that people are throwing up "lifetime ban" as a possibility, he's throwing every excuse (and having relatives chime in on how nice a guy he really is, and how he's like, totally upset) at the wall in the hopes that he's right and that he is able to fool the judges into being lenient. And so far, he's right. People are tripping over themselves to excuse him, even though it's clear he's a cheat, either by design or by circumstance.
Fuck that guy.

That was the impression I was starting to get at the end of the article. He didn't come across as a guy with a legitimate "mea culpa." He was pretty much insinuating that anyone that still thinks he's a cheat is unreasonable and not worth his time.
Plus, he did some pretty solid board analysis when calculating his moves for a guy who was too nervous and hurried to notice an extra Batterskull in hand.
There are White Knights out there so blind to reason that justice fails them. Ironic.

Yeah, people who honestly make mistakes don't do this shit.
Douchebag said:
This is from somebody who wants to throw yet another defense out (if you think I cheat, then you're just a hater...even though nobody knew who the fuck I was until I was dumb enough to cheat on live camera) and hope it clouds the issue.
tl;dr Fuck that guy.
Lifetime ban is going pretty far... AFAIK, the only way to get a lifetime ban is assault/battery, theft, or mass tournamet fraud (if your an organizer). The DCI suspended list used to list the reason for each ban, but they got rid of that about a year ago.
On topic:

Cheat blindness? Completely unaware of the cheating he was doing? Sounds like he's trying to downplay his cheating to getting a more lenient punishment. 6 months ban sounds about right. Are they really gonna give him a lifetime ban?

Honestly, I'm totally okay with cheaters getting lifetime bans from any competitive arena where money and livelihoods are at stakes. That's real shit right there, and you're basically sticking your hands in somebody's pockets because you suck at life.
But, the precedent has been set, I guess.

Same, there's actual money at stake and you cheat is pretty disgusting. And on top of it to be so fucking moronic to do it in the wide open during a VIDEOTAPED EVENT is hard for me to even feel a single shred of sympathy for him. I don't care how they decide but I certainly won't weep for whatever they give him. I've had plenty of people cheat with lower stakes and it's just beyond childish, I don't feel any sympathy when I have to watch opponents like hawks so they don't pull shit like this.
