Silly people.....Wizards doesn't care about whether YOU like the format. You are a valued customer, but not the most valued customers......
Who are the most valued tournament players that make...
Not to sound too preachy, but I think you're asking yourself the wrong question. Comparing what you're doing to scrape by selling/trading cards at events versus your old job. A natural comparison, of...

I think this article perpetrates the myth that you can make a lot of money playing Magic. Notice that there's no discussion of dollar figures here. He doesn't say he lost his job and since then his...
I think the answer is already in front of us.....Wizards is not going to do reprints, so
The pool of Legacy players needs to be smaller than it is currently for prices to stabilize...
That can...
First of all, I agree that chess clocks would be impractical and definitely not worth it at FNM, GPTrials PTQualifiers or other smaller tournaments.
However, at PTs and GPs, I think it's...
Chess-style clocks
I don't see what the downside is. It would stop all forms of intentional stalling. The round time is split evenly between the two players and you have a certain amount of time...
If you're going to use a sports metaphor, at least use a correct one :) Don't be silly, Spikey, they don't call traveling in the NBA! You can walk to the bank and back in the Association and the refs...
A small amount of common sense from the judges should have resulted in no DQ.
I bet Levin did say to his friend, "50-1 that I'll make Top 8?"
And his college buddy smiled and said, "Sure"

It's interesting how perspective changes with time.
I think your problem isn't really a problem. If you're playing with your buddies at the kitchen table, if one deck starts to rule, just put it...
@foolofatook
I don't think price of individual cards is going to be a big deal in CYOS as long as there's a large variety of competitive decks to build without having to dip deeply into your...
Just out of curiosity.....Anybody evaluate how the manabases look across the blocks.....I think the fetchlands were only printed in Onslaught block unless I'm mistaken
Should be some interesting...
@majical.....No one is saying do away with Legacy, and most are not saying Legacy will die
There's no hysteria here
CYOS could be created as a new format to simply give players another choice....
I would definitely play
Arrowni....If you could persuade a store near you to do an unsanctioned CYOS tourney with pretty good advertising/decent prizes etc. I'm curious to see what the turnout...
@ jrsthethird.....Excellent point. I think CYOS would be a big hit, but it's been years since Wizards floated the idea and I'm starting to doubt that they will ever make it a sanctioned format.
...
Not that I live in Syracuse or anything, but this format intrigues me.....
I might make a humble suggestion, though
Perhaps you should allow all the sets through the Mirage block, as there was...
The amount of money Wizards was losing on the Invitational was massive.....
It was a great decision to cancel it.....
99.9 percent of all players had no chance of being invited to the...
I posted it here because, if it becomes sanctioned, it would be a similar format to Legacy, from the standpoint that you can use most of your old cards.....
And I thought it would be interesting...
Just curious to see what other Sourcers thought of the idea
If you're not familiar with it, it was played at the Invitational with hints that it could be a sanctioned format.....Here's what it...
Here's my question to the original poster
Do YOU feel good about the way you won?
Would you ever do it again?
Does the win to you personally feel different from winning in a more traditional...
Does the answer change when you're not in a tourney setting (or testing for a tourney)?
I have yet to play a casual game against somebody who pulls out a combo deck. Never. And I've been playing...
As long as you pay at least a day in advance, you're good for the pre-register price
Umbowta is right, you can do paypal, or you could call the business and pay by credit
Their number is (810)...
I'll find out more details about pre-registering....I'll let you know ASAP
For those here who aren't complete spikes, here's a fun deck for multiplayer....Especially with 4 or more players in a free-for-all
The strategy is pretty simple....You must get down either an...
