Update on my altered Miracles-deck. Altered Terminus/Entreats are stuck somewhere in the U.S. and won't arrive for the BoM. At the BoM I will receive a JTMS from BigUp - but this is what I am working with now.
Greetings
Nice alters. I hope all head judges are kind to you.
I know - that's why I've been starting to play "Lands up front" while not building any stacks. We will see how it goes.
But I've been playing with altered Miracles for 3 GPs now, never had any problems with Judges- only with players, but this didn't matter, due to not having any problems with Judges.. :D
Thanks, anyways :)
Greetings
I started playing "Lands up front" because I was tired of people putting their hands all over my cards or just grabbing them nilly willy whenever they felt like it. With the lands inbetween they can't reach and have to ask. Stupid reason maybe... but still why I prefer that card placement method.

Languages and dates for every set. For all you true pimps.
Indeed, but it's their right to read any card in play any time they want. If there is still relevant text on the card, get over the fact that they will be handling your cards. If you don't like it, don't play altered/foil cards.

It's their right to read the cards, yes. I am more than happy to pick it up and hand it to them. It's not their right to snatch it up smack my cards around or be rough with them at their own will because they forgot what it does from the last time they read it 10 seconds prior. I'm just not a big fan of people roughly handling my cards at their pleasure.

None of that seems egregious, except that I went back and checked the previous posts, nothing was said about them being rough with them. It felt as though only the fear of damage was presented. If they are rough, call a judge. Until they are rough with your cards, let it go.

It's why I always ask if I can touch peoples' cards, especially during stuff like Thoughtseize. I don't like it when people touch my stuff, so I always make sure it's okay.
Picking up a Summer Plains tomorrow at a Denny's. Classy as fuck.

Picked up a textless saga duress in a McDs once.
One must imagine Sisyphus happy.
I think the worst part of dealing for a Beta Tundra in an IHOP was the fact that I passed the money very discreetly, and he just whipped it all out and counted it out loud. In a full IHOP. On Saturday morning. With a really sketchy looking busboy who looked like he would've cut that guy and run away with $800. Getting in $20's was a BAD idea, FYI.
Another time I drove out to a bus stop in the middle of suburbia at 2am because I got a text from a friend of a friend who wanted to buy a set of Goyfs, Confidants, Tarns, and Misties. Total at the time was about a grand. Sketchy as hell, but it all worked out.

I once met up with a guy from a random MTG Facebook group to sell him a Misty. He just texted me the cross streets and I met him on the corner. I stood there for like ten minutes. Then he drove up, pushed open his passenger door, and leaned over to complete the transaction. He gave me two twenties. I gave him the good stuff. I felt like a drug dealer. Some muggles walked by and gave me the stinkeye.
It was pretty awesome.
Then I turned around and walked back into the LGS. Street cred ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED.
