Yeah, I pulled a couple and they're way better than I thought they would be. Went in thinking I'd ditch any I pulled, but they look nice enough I think I'll keep them. Apparently the fairy counter spell I got is worth like 15 euros right now

Monoblack devotion was super dominant but it was also just a cool deck so I wasnt too upset about it.

Did you report the nazi to the TO? Someone at GP Indy a couple years back got asked to change his shirt because it looked extremely swastika-esque. Fake edit: Would they let you wear a shirt that says in English block letters "Let's rape some bitches!"? Both are extremely hostile.

I reported to the closest thing the store has, she was clearly uncomfortable with it as well but said it wasnt really enough to say anything about it to them without them saying or doing anything. She said she would talk with the owner about potentially changing their store policy but im not sure how far that will go. She did thank me for saying something though so maybe something comes of it.

they will probably institute a no politics rule rather than anything else. a lot of magic players are chuds and the owner is going to want to tiptoe around alienating their clientele. the owner might also be a chud because small business owners are pretty much trump's whole demographic. shades of blue fucked around with this message at 01:03 on Sep 29, 2019 |

Standard seems fun enough, except for Garruk, who seems like a gigantic pain in the rear end for non-sweeper decks. I got trounced by a desk with him and tolsimir playing that rakdos midrange deck, which turns out isn’t very good.

A guy in my first match pulled a full art non foil will and rowan and questing beast. So I guess you can get full art in the packs?

The American Dream posted:A guy in my first match pulled a full art non foil will and rowan and questing beast. So I guess you can get full art in the packs? I think "extended art" cards are the ones you can only get in collector boosters. Extended art are the ones I've been thinking are going to be the hard ones to find, being foil all the more so. Foil seems basically common now and extended art is the new thing nobody has. Full frame art occurs only on plainswalker cards and the extended art seems to be on almost anything including planswalker cards unless I'm losing my mind.

Tubgoat posted:Was it for sure a regular booster pack from a normal-print box, or were there special one-of promo packs for the prerelease? He said he pulled it from his pre release. That’d be the dumbest way to cheat ever. It was full art non foil. I think the collectors pack version would be foil. I have a GED so like Hell im trying to figure out that loving chart.

I got a full art non-foil Royal Scions and several alternate Adventure arts in my pre-release pool so at least some of the Collectors stuff is in pre-release packs.

Tubgoat posted:This is what I was getting at, though it is my understanding that the alt-frames are raredrops in regular boosters. I can't loving wait for two weeks from now when I can draft.  You can definitely get the borderless walkers in regular packs, I pulled a borderless Garruk today from a sealed draft booster box. Additionally, I watched a guy last night pull a foil borderless Oko from a prerelease pack at midnight. I think thats the most expensive card in the set?

My prerelease was sweet, opened Emry, Vantress Gargoyle, Clackbridge Troll, Murderous Rider, and Castle Lochthwain. Ground people out with U/B. This format is fun, if a little bomb heavy, but slow formats usually are.

I became that dude and started a smurf to keep playing the event, feels good. If you want to, queue up a video or podcast because while you can skip the tutorials (account settings) you cannot skip the "win 3 games vs AI with a Portal deck to unlock regular game modes" requirement.

Did the classic at my prerelease tonight: the 0-2 drop. I just don’t get sealed. I’m sure there’s a better deck in my pile, but I always feel I get just enough to almost be good in every color, which is annoying. At least I pulled an Emry for EDH purposes and a Once Upon A Time to probably sell early because I’m betting it’ll tank soon.

As a fellow lootdrafter, I'm usually there for the pulls and if I can build something cool from it I'll stick around, and if not, I've got better things to do.
