Wizards just introduced paperless DCI.
I created a new account assuming it would let me enter my existing DCI number, but it created a new one for me.
What do I do?
EDIT: Nevermind, I had to remember the login for my old DCI number and then I just combined the two accounts.

That is also Tinkererable.
I dunno, that seems pretty abusable.

Jhoira. Kind of.There still isn't a U/R artifact-themed commander though.
Niv-Mizzet is universally great of course. The perfect specimen. The greatest living being in the Multiverse. Powerful, yet graceful. Outspoken, yet humble.
Slap a Basilisk Collar, Thornbite Staff and Diviner's Wand and he shall become stronger than the foundations of the board. All shall love him and despair!
My first boosterpack ever came from Homelands lol. When I was 5 a computer store owner started swearing at me because he thought I was his son. He apologized by getting me hooked on magic and by giving me a pack of the worst set of all time. Bastard.
Love this card.. I want swords too! (I want two swords!)

Jhoira is awesome. Friend of mine had a deck with her that he played for a while. You suspend a sweeper and then suspend a few large creatures next turn
Jhoria decks that I know all run mass land destruction and giant beasties behind it.. Gross..
I go to WNM, forget my own deck, borrow a stranger's black splash white aggro, and go 4-0 lol. I went threw U/W control, mono green, and two Abzan midrange decks. It surprisingly matched up pretty well even against Abzan, and every one of them said their decks should've easily have beaten the aggro decks.
He had Chief of the Edges and one copy of Athreos mainboarded which was totally unnecessary and sideboarded out every time. It could've possibly been replaced with Spiteful Return. I see the deck losing hard to Jeskai or mono red decks. I was pinging myself for a crapload of damage. It seems to match up vs any other decks pretty well otherwise.

I literally gave a standing ovation at the conclusion of this match. I'm linking you here to game three (27m 40s):

Ignoring the fact that both players probably should have gotten slow play warnings at various points throughout the match, this game three had one of the most exciting conclusions I've seen in a while.

They just need to lifetime these aholes.
I'm open to them coming back and proving that they have changed after a single ban, but after that it really should be lifetime. No idea how Bertoncinni didn't get that this time around.

So I've said multiple times before that I personally, without additional evidence, couldn't "convict" Boettcher based solely on the video - unlike with Humphries. I think the fact that Humphries was banned almost immediately after his video surfaced (I think it was something like the next day), and Boettcher's banning took five days, speaks to the fact that additional investigation was needed. Of course, I could be entirely wrong; the time difference might be due to the fact that Humphries was a nobody, and Boettcher was going to lose his ROTY title if the allegations were true.
Also, I'd bet that the reason Jared got just barely over two years and Humphries got four probably has less to do with the severity of the infraction, and more to do with their attitude. Given how Humphries reacted afterwards, I'd wager he was belligerent to the investigation and Jared was likely more contrite. EDIT: Herp derp, can't math, can't read, ignore this paragraph.
On the flip side, I no longer have to wonder how Boettcher did so well with the POS Ad Nauseam deck at the last Modern PT.
ouch, so he did cheat.

46 months is just below 4 years. Not sure why they didn't just make it 48 months lol.

So much for all his "Stop the witch hunts you guys. Geez."
When you call out a "witch hunt" when there's not one going on, you're a damn witch. Initial reaction told the whole story.
Jeez, this is just dumb.

Apparently I can't math today.
I heard someone say it was two years, and that stuck, despite reading 46 months.Apparently I can't math today.
It happens
I think I also read 2 years somewhere before the official announcement?Yeah, me too. I've also started being super sure I was keeping the bottom of my opponent's deck facing the table as I was shuffling so it couldn't even look like there was anything fishy going on. Players in general being more vigilant might be the best upside of all this. It would be nice if Wizards put out an article about protecting oneself from such shenanigans after these two high profile cases.

Yeah I just shuffle like Ari lax now while staring at my opponent.
Angry Grimace
Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Luckily I just play FNM events where we don't shuffle the other guys deck. We just present it to have it cut.
Then it implies I don't trust my opponent enough to cut my deck for me. Plus I'm lazy. I rarely shuffle my opponent's deck when fetching.
Better safe than sorry after this. I think people will understand
No, seriously- Elixir was a bigger problem than Revelation. http://t.co/gAQIG5E6iC

What the hell is this deck doing without at least one Academy Ruins and one Life from the Loam? If you mill both Elixirs then you're screwed.
I guess an Eldrazi would also do the job, but would have less utility.
Edit: Also I don't see how this deck would take hours to win a single game. Mesmeric Orb gets out of hand quickly.

So, the only way to beat Emrakul is to Crypt it postboard? Or do people just not play Tron anymore?

No, eventually, they'll have it in their hand. Usually nit able to play it from their hand. So emakrul buys you another turn, I'd guess.
But I seriously have limited knowledge of eternal formats, so i could be wrong.

Now, now, calm down, underground dojo keyboard cagefighter. He didn't do anything criminal like rape or murder. It's a freaking card game.

Heh. On a side note, it is interesting to see these guys flip out and pretend they're above all this nerdery when they get caught out. Like they're not playing make believe wizards or something. Plus, I seen photos of these dudes. Not exactly scaring anybody.
And you thought Defelcting Palm was good against Emrakul- this might be better (overall)
Doesn't really solve your Emrakul problem.

It doesn't damage players and Emrakul can't be targeted by it.
Still, really neat card, especially since you don't have to be involved in the conflict that caused the damage in the first place.
