Hard to tell, but it didn't look anything like it. I just saw a bunch of red, blue, and green.

Anyway, you bet the other guy is permabanned from whatever facility that took place in. I mean, geez.

(. . . unless, of course, the entire thing was staged.)

Well I was going to point out that the guys in that .gif are people that video blog about MTG but I couldn't find a way of doing it without sounding like a sarcastic dick (other than with this sentence).

Plus it's more fun to play along anyway and a combo like that is a table flipping worthy offence anyway in 1v1 (in multiplayer not so much unless there is literally nobody carrying artefact hate).

WOW that's a dick move... I was gonna say Lightning Helix but that's far more annoying...

EDIT: Same as here. How the crap do you add friends anyway?

Who wants to face off against my "asshole" deck? :3

Re: Magic: The Gathering

The other guy looked pretty smug and looked like he was already rubbing salt in the wound at that point and I guess Boogie just had enough. The guy who table flipped goes by the name of Boogie he has a Vlog on youtube and he likes Magic. Should give him a look in your spare time folks. He does a split personality "show" I guess and its name is "Francis". So I am wondering if that moment was staged since it looked like something Francis would do and not Boogie himself. Boogie however is very intelligent and usually does these types of things for a comedic reaction.

Mal: You add people while in the lobby or during a game. Also we need to know the hash for your deck.

Melody: The names sound familiar and the people in the gif look familiar, I think I may have seen one of their vlogs a while ago.

Re: Magic: The Gathering

Why do you need the hash? I play in a lobby with my buddy and we never bother.

Re: Magic: The Gathering

1) TM asked for it so we can identify decks without "cheating" and seeing what we have before the matches.

2) You can be loading pretty much any deck and we would have no idea if it's the one you entered the round robin with since there isn't much stopping you from using a different one with every game.

Re: Magic: The Gathering

Fair enough, and I have a tonne of decks lol hard to pick 1 but I've got 1 or 2 I really really like.

[Firewind]

Re: Magic: The Gathering

It's basically so we can check to see the other guy is using the deck they "Registered" with without seeing what the other guy is using.

Re: Magic: The Gathering

Swept Yyg's standard deck last night, though to be fair the first match was him being mana flooded and the second was me sideboarding in some stuff that just wrecked him.

Re: Magic: The Gathering

Today was... idk what to call it... successful? I have no idea. Call it whatever you want, but let this story be a lesson to you all.

I'm no stranger to the fact that I am a nerd and I pretty much wear it on my sleeve. Case in point, I'm wearing fingerless DOMO gloves, a Nyan cat scarf, a pair of Chuck Taylors with the Thundercats logo on them and under my work polo I'm wearing a JTHM t-shirt. My truck is stickered up with M:TG, 8bit images and a boarder to my license plate that says "My other ride is a Chocobo". Additionally, I have recently submitted my application for the Novelty License plate in Mass that reads "Moogle".

All that being said, it can be rather cool and sometimes profitable to be an openly nerdy guy. Cases in point:

- Today I was stopped in the parking garage by a co-worker who spotted my Ravnica Sticker in the back window of my truck. Long story short, he's going to be joining our drafts every month at my place. I never would have thought him the type.

- Shortly after getting to work and noticing that I was over 45 minutes early, I dug out my magic deck I take with me to work and started goldfishing on the floor in the hallway. I have no shame. While screwing around and milling my invisible opponent, I was approached by a guy I talk to all the time about video games like Skyrim and various MMOs. Long story short on that one... it turns out he used to play magic a lot and has a small box of cards that range from Unlimited to Tempest and he's giving them to me tomorrow since I clearly still play and he doesn't. I'm certainly not going to turn down free cards.

- Hours later (and about 15 minutes before I started posting this), I went out to the passenger boarding area to get a coffee with one of the deicers (the guys who spray the plane down with fluid that prevents them from freezing over in icey conditions) and we were shooting the shit. Somewhere in the conversation we got to talking about high school and what kinds of crowds we used to hang out with. It went a little like this:

Yyg: "Well I used to sit at the table that was affectionately nicknamed THE MAGIC TABLE because we used to play this game called..."
Drew: "MAGIC THE GATHERING! Do you still play? Do you want all my cards? I have a big plastic bin full of all kinds of cards. You can have them. They're just taking up space in my closet".

*blink blink*

Yyg: "A big BIN full? Like one of those plastic tubs?"
Drew: "Yep. From all the editions, too"
Yyg: "How far back are we talking"
Drew: "I started officially playing in Beta but I have a bunch of ones from Alpha too"

*blink blink*

Yyg: "Seriously? And you want to give them to me?"
Drew: "Why not? I don't use them. Stop by my house on your way into the airport tomorrow and I'll give them to you. All yours man."
Yyg: "Are you aware of what some of them could be worth?"
Drew: "Well I don't have a Black Lotus, but yeah I'm sure some are worth something. I just can't be bothered to actually look everything up. You want to sell them, go for it"

*blink blink*

Yyg: "I'll be at your house at 9:00"
