Beating control is often a matter of simply avoiding overextension and having a solid sideboard plan for the deck. Without Sphinx's Revelation around, its actually quite a bit easier to just chip away until they die since they rarely vomit 7 life and cards on your end step.

This is incredibly scummy and I'm very glad they're getting called out on it. I actually can't believe they'd do this, but the MTGO decisionmaking has never really made sense.

Weird.
The paper version has been jumping at-least 25$ a day now since 1/31. Guess im going to hold on to mine.
MTGO has always seemed like a collection of odd/poor/shady decisions from Wizards for me. I'll never play it until it gets an overhaul or becomes way cheaper than paper magic.
At least they are giving more than twice as many cards per event than they did in Paper?
But yeah, there is zero defense for this.

Lol at Brad Nelson bragging about ripping an alt Ugin

I mentioned this when I read the announcement that Ugin wasn't in the "packs" the other day on a different forum. Its probably illegal, really.
But honestly, MTGO charges you the same price for imaginary cards as it does for real ones. They've been about that life for a long time.

Its a shitty program but I don't get to play much outside of FNM if I don't use MTGO. Its about 1/2 as fun as real MTG I think.

MTGO is maybe 1/3 as fun as paper Magic. It's a super bummer that I haven't found a playgroup yet after moving back to Texas - I miss spending Saturday afternoon jamming six-man drafts from a random box or cube..

The story of Tasigur being an idiot, getting screwed over, then being killed by Silumgar.
I guess we can assume the power of his card represents his rakshasa and naga servants more than anything.

Wasn't really screwed over, just got what he deserved. But for what it's worth, most of Tarkir is gonna be dragon food soon it seems anyhoo.

I'm guessing that in DTK there won't be any clans, instead they'll be named by the Dragon Brood, e.g. Silumgar, Kologhan, etc.
Seems like there won't be any humans in the Sultai by DTK though unless this story predates Sarkhan saving Ugin.

KTK has allied fetches for the graves of the allied-color dragons.
DTK will have enemy fetches for the graves of the enemy-aligned Khans.
Believe.

I wouldn't be terribly surprised if they turn out to be in M16, actually. There's nothing tying them to the plane and its not like they're some integral part of the mechanics of the block.
But I do expect at least some kind of rare dual land cycle in Dragons of Tarkir, whether its fetches or possibly man-lands. Enemy manlands would be the most amusing.
I think that this is more along the lines of what will happen, especially after seeing the Disdainful Stroke FNM promo art at http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/arcana/february-through-april-fnm-promo-update-2015-01-22
Looks like the dragon is burning the Abzan banner, so I think the clans as we know them will be gone and will be more focused on the dragons themselves.

I've been sick with the flu ever since sunday of the GP, and man I haven't misplayed like this in forever. Playing creatures into sweepers, missing land drops on modo, trading cards for alters of my commander when I'm a professional illustrator. Shit is all confused.

He died as he lived; whipping stuff and eating bananas in his underwear.
I pulled a Mox Opal from a Scars Fatpack some time ago and figured I'd either trade it or sell it because I just don't have the money right now to build Modern Affinity/Robots/Whateverthedeckiscallednow, nor a place to play Modern very often. I thought it would be smart to sell/trade it before the likely MM2015 reprint, but I'm now hearing that apparently price might actually go up with a MM2015 reprint, as this happened to most MM1 rares. Should I just hold on to it and wait?
wtf! there used to be listings sitting at below a hundred and now it's 125 at the very least. i can't believe wizards did this to me.

winning player of the year 2010 thinking he was the hottest shit (better him than matignon i suppose), then followed by zero top 8s in 2011. definition of a one-hit wonder. you only have to look up his top 8s in the following years: all standard.

I remember when I first got into competitive magic I built a budget WU control deck on MTGO for about $30. I didn't go any further with it because Sphinx's Rev was close to $35.
It was something like $20 in paper at that point.

I don't get this either. He brews up some fun and interesting decks and he's usually ahead of the curve.
Is that supposed to be some sort of slight? As if accomplishments don't mean anything if they are in the Standard format?
this, he's the hottest MtG pro player and everyone else is jealous.

Why play one good deck when you can play five terrible ones?
Will you please call it Bantifest?
Someone talk me out of playing this..:

Well if you want to exclude half the relevant tournaments in the game that's on you.

What a small way of thinking.
I know SCG has had problems in the past and they're not "the big leagues" but they consistently are running tournaments every weekend that are smooth and varied. They also put WotC to shame in the presentation of these tournaments to the gaming public. For a new player, who can't travel a lot for magic and instead streams tourneys a lot on weekends, the SCG circuit looks better run than the tournaments that net you pro points.
300-600+ person tournaments aren't relevant?
Plus if you look at eternal formats, SCG is a hell of a lot more relevant than anything Wizards does.

God, sometimes I hate magic.
0-1 drop in an 8-4.
Stomp my opponent game one, mull to death next two games. Dying to reach guys when I have three uncastable removal spells in my hand sucks.

It's actually almost funny. I can't believe what Wizards puts out, to be honest. ChannelFireball didn't look very good last weekend, either (assuming they were involved with the production).

Kind of a weird question: I'm thinking about putting together a cube for two-person drafting, and right now I'm leaning toward keeping it mostly pauper since I'm not really interested in spending a ton of money on this. I've done some poking around at different two-person limited formats and I've decided the two that seem best are grid drafting and pancake drafting, so right now I'm thinking about getting a roughly 200-240 card cube together to cater to those two formats and have a little wiggle room. I'd also love it if i could come out of this spending less than 100 dollars.
Right now, based on reading about two-person draft formats and doing some reading about other people who have tried this on other forums, it seems like narrow combo cards are harder to pull off due to randomness, so I'm leaning towards keeping things a little more straightforward. To compensate for lowered complexity I'm sort of thinking about having a heavier multicolor theme. If anyone's put together a cube and has some advice on how to approach this further I'd love to hear it.

I've never tried grid because I'm not a fan of visible picks, but pancake definitely seems very good. I like the part where you trash cards from the boosters to somewhat simulate a more-than-2-people draft, and makes hate drafting way easier
