    Dear Sourcers playing on MTGO

    There is a premier legacy event in 3 hours and 25 minutes from now. Let's make it fire.

    To moderators : feel free to erase the thread after 4 hours (the event can still be launched if we reach 33 players within 30 minutes)

    You very likely can build it without spending any money, just out of what you already have.

    If people would stay registered after 30 maybe it would launch.

    Just signed up, but it looks like I'm late to the party

    5. Think that Gaea's Blessing will make you Solidarity-proof.
    6. Pass priority after playing Infernal Tutor.

    Maybe we can get it to fire next week.

    I'm pretty burned out after grinding the last few days and with just hitting the required QP for the promo, my motivation is currently rather low.

    Re: Dear Sourcers playing on MTGO

    I might be able to help it fire next week depending on the time. I'm going to make a modo account sometime this week since one of my friends has offered to lend me a deck so I can grind legacy online. I'll he happy to play with you guys soon!

    EDIT: My laptop is kind of broke today. Had to take it to a repair shop. I am not sure when it will be fixed but it might not be in time for the next Legacy premiere event. Should hopefully be in time for the one after though. Currently using a relative's laptop to edit this post.

    When exactly is this MTGO Premier Legacy event? Might play in it if I am not out for the day and get back in time. The new MTGO site seems to have knocked out the page that google returns when looking for the MTGO schedule.

    There is one in a bit less than 10 hours after this post. Should have more chances launching than the one 4 hours ago which was a joke (8h30am in Europe and at night in the US ?)
    If you join the queue wait in it until there are enough people. We have 30mn to reach 33 players.

    Re: Dear Sourcers playing on MTGO

    Didn't launch but it feels good to be listened. This time people stayed in the queue. I guess the schedule is just too horrible, but I and many others have already asked wizards to change it. It's not that high value from what I heard so it's not that big of a deal.

    By the way for people not playing on MTGO, we are just talking about big tournaments with top8s. The highest value events which are the dailies (four round tournaments) and launch several times a day always start now. It is also now the best time to come on mtgo since with vintage masters, prices are at their lowest (20$ for fow, 14$ for Usea, 7$ for bayou, 8$ for tropical island etc...).

    So come join in right now if you were hesitating already.

    Finally got my FoWs and Volcanics, thanks to VMA.

    Still need crucial pieces for my UR Delver, but Solidarity is good to go (except for some SB cards).

    Couldn't make it this time due to the German World Cup match but big kudos for Jean-Mary to keep pushing for it.

    Looking forward to all your announcements because unlike for DEs, I don't have the PE schedule memorized.

    Re: Dear Sourcers playing on MTGO

    Is it worthwhile to join MTGO over just playtesting decks I already own on Cockatrice?

    I understand there is actual tournament support and prize support, but I really just play Magic online to test ideas for in-person tournaments. Cockatrice lets me do that already for free, and the interface is actually as good as or better than MTGO's (which is a bad piece of software).

    To me, that's 100% of the reason why I play MODO and it's by far the best test environment you can get for that. Even though the software is god-damn aweful and I don't want to give it too much credit, but I think I can attribute most of my success over the last year to getting in just more and especially more competitive games on MODO than one would ever be to get on any other platform.

    This is the reason I'm considering buying into legacy on MODO. Yes, Cockatrice is free and probably a better program than magic online, but unless you have a dedicated playtesting partner, it is really hard to get quality playtesting done because there so many of the following: 1. Non-tier/ rogue decks 2. bad players who often rage quit when you win one game so you don't actually get to fully test out your sideboard which is really infuriating. From what I've heard the magic online legacy scene is a much more no nonsense competitive scene, something that cockatrice sorely lacks unfortunately.

    MODO is highly competitive and you can (and most likely will at some point) face top-tier players from around the world, instead of Random Scrub #57 playing his crappy UB Mill deck. Since there's essentially money on the line, people don't screw around alot.

    I second Julian. The competition and regular practice is going to make you a better player. Going back to Cockatrice when MODO went down was a pretty jarring experience in terms of player quality where you even have to argue with people about basic interactions.
