It was normally, a payment of one life and an in the yard fetch .... I'd awkwardly stare for a brief moment then when they'd move to pick up their library and I would stop them before they could get too far.
Some people take it poorly ... others understand it's their mistake. My main point to anyone getting sandy was, that if we aren't going to take things like
- knowing the board state (e.g. before doing something looking at all the things in play, the cards in each others hands)
- knowing what cards do (chalice of the void, cost of morph on the stack, how trinisphere works, etc.)
- knowing how the rules of the game work (e.g. cost vs. effect, activated abilities, knowing morph is a special action that doesn't use the stack)
then why even have competitive Magic?
People would just stumble through and play their powerful cards and get bailed out and all that would differentiate players would be access to cards, matchup and randomness.
So you play once or twice a week and you don't consider yourself "well practiced" anymore? Damn. I played about once a week on average at the height of my playtime. Now I average once every couple of months.... kids do that I guess.
I'm also curious on all the GRVs. So you'd call a judge on them before they would begin searching (in the fetchland case)? That's fair and all, but I guess I'm too nice of a guy to pull the trigger until they've passed the point of no return (like, started to look for a land in that case).
Not a bad finish, very nice report and hella funny. Loving the deck.
Awesome report! I haven't laughed like this in a while. Amazing job!

Love the report. Seriously RTFC idiots who don't read opponents cards if they don't know what they do. I think I've accidentally cheated once in regards to that (attempting to cycle multiple gitaxian probes through a chalice@1. People not knowing what trinisphere does amaze me. Suppression field I can kind of understand however although people are pretty dumb when it comes to ruling. Activated abilities are so easy to understand, at least to me. Does it have the format Cost: Do something? Then it's an activated ability. Your deathrite shaman is now a norwood ranger.
Seriously though, great report. I enjoyed it a lot.

Fucking great report.
Feld der Unterdrackung is pretty fucking amazing, but I believe the deck needs more Gotterdammerung. Twilight of the mother fucking Gods. Vagner. What more could you want?

Haha, that was absolutely hilarious, loved it. I really love this game, but those encounters with random sociopaths in tournaments still amuse me. Ok actually I hate them but it is just not worth the fuss.
That was a pick at Durward's Dream halls article wasn't it (NICE JOB lol).
Really nice report here, and you now inspired me to turn my deck into Foreign language (preference to german, as people, by experience, tend to take a japanese card and not read it when they see the writtings, when they will actually try to read a german card and find out that they don't understand anything lol)
I had a guy do it with Korean Before... And then one time a Guy looked at my Japanese Tendrils of Agony and then read it out... I was like.. Oh you speak it... Cool lol
<double post>
Fantastic report. One of my Abysses is Italian and wouldn't you know it I seem to draw that one more often than the English ones.
I'm reminded of the time I was playing a pimped out Lands deck at an SCG and I was running Worm Harvest. It was foil Japanese. In one game it's late game and my yard is full of My opponent has Jace TMS out, sculpts me and finds that card. Looks at me. Looks at the card. Looks at me and says "I have no idea what that card is. I can't read Japanese." I tell him to call a judge. A judge I've worked with many times comes over looks at the card and says "Oh, I know that card. It's..." I wave my hands in the air shouting "No! No! Don't tell me! He is mindscupting me! I'm not supposed to know!" But I already totally knew what it was. The judge and my opponent walk away, the judge explains what the card does just out of my earshot, and my opponent comes back and says "Oh yeah, that thing is going on bottom!"
