    Re: DCI Rating System change- Planeswalker Points

    "Dschalter said Well, to be more precise, WoTC doesn't make that much off the entry fee- running a GP is expensive- what they make money off of is people having decks and buying or trading for cards...

    Re: DCI Rating System change- Planeswalker Points

    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...
  3. Re: [Article] How to Really Live: My Life as a Traveling Backpacked, Cardboard-Dealin

    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...

  5. Re: [Article] How to Really Live: My Life as a Traveling Backpacked, Cardboard-Dealin

    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...
  6. Re: [Article] Eternal: But does that really mean forever?

    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...
  7. Re: [Article] Saito Busted at GP Florence and What it Means

    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...
  8. Re: [Article] Saito Busted at GP Florence and What it Means

    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...

    Re: GP Disqualification at 13-1-2

    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"

  11. Re: Beer Drinking Chaos Kitchen Table Style...Rules?

    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...

    Re: Would you play CYOS?

    Re: Would you play CYOS?

    @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....

    Re: Revised Reprint Policy

    @ 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.
