On behalf of everyone who plays Harbinger of the Seas and hates seeing Urza's Saga, this rules change was a slap in the face.

@IamActuallyLvL1 What's the "TEARS" / "STARE" of enchantwordle?
I usually start Mantis Rider because it's middling in most (number of colors, release year, p/t etc.), but maybe there's a better one

@CriticalEDH If information was public during discussion, its a failure on both parties to even discuss it.
Dont ask people to sell their right to win attempt.
But also dont sell away your right to win.
Breaking deals and letting people process information on their own are not the same...
English
@CriticalEDH I think upholding deals and making them truthfully is an important part of the format, but it seems dumb to ask for statements about the VISIBLE gamestate from a player or force them to stick to such statements.
Where's the reciprocity that makes such statements binding?
English
Stuff like this isn't easy to talk about. We all want to be better players in all aspects, and sometimes it starts with taking responsibility.

Hi everyone, I want to publicly acknowledge and take responsibility for a choice I made during my Round 2 game at Royal Rumble 2 last Saturday.
English
@itsJulian23 A "you dont block my ragavan and my bowmaster wont target your manadork" kind of deal is mutually benefitial and renegging on that deal is a greedy sellout of your player integrity for shortterm winrate and prize gain. Thats bad.
Letting them figure out the board alone is not...
English
@itsJulian23 So while I think there are very real reasons not to lie even when legal and completely divorced from morality, winning the game against such non-cooperative attempts of verbal stax is perfectly fine and should be used to punish this "promise you wont win" behavior
English
Reading through the replies here just breaks my brain.

Serious question: why is it bad to lie in cEDH? It’s a competitive game, and in tournaments we’re playing for money. It’s explicitly allowed by the rules, and top players do it all the time. Open to discussion on it.
English
@Ryan_on_cEDH @_Bad_Dog__ A and B make a mutually benefitial, honest deal and keep it.
A and C make a deal
e.g. As winrate +5%, B +2.5%, C+2.5%, D -10%
No deceit necessary, everyone acting rationally in their own self interest, but A benefitted most by finding these deals and being trustworthy enough
English
@PascalGMTG @_Bad_Dog__ I’m saying a lot of the top players have been doing this already, in the long-term. Additionally, you’re saying you can use the table to your advantage to win games. How is this not being deceitful? Are we now differentiating between deceit and lies?
English
@_Bad_Dog__ @Ryan_on_cEDH Yes, lying can boost winrate short term.
Yes, if you feel unskilled in deal-making, forcing an antitrust environment, excluding deals, to test "different skills" may help.
If you have skills to make deals, its a higher agency metagame to support trust = higher winrate long term
English
@_Bad_Dog__ @Ryan_on_cEDH If you view the game as non-iterative its probably always benefitial to break your last deal for short-term benefit.
Once its viewed as iterative (same people or your name being shamed online), even upholding your last deal can be +EV.
You can win by "being better" just as much
English
@Ryan_on_cEDH @_Bad_Dog__ And yes theres probably short-term benefit to be gained from being an untrustworthy actor in a trust world.
But that's just a way of selling out your reputation for a certain, mostly small, set of financial benefits.
Many such opportunities, shortsighted and lacking integrity
English
@Ryan_on_cEDH @_Bad_Dog__ Trust world opens up ways of using your cards that would otherwise not be available..
Rewards creativity in deal making and understanding of cross-deck synergies/interactions
More social experience overall
Higher winrates for stronger players
More interactive metagame
English
@CardElk_ @IamActuallyLvL1 @RealPokemoki If you have an idea you are convinced by and want to keep secret, you will only play it tram-internally, where client doesnt matter.
Before arriving there you need to test a lot of ideas and playing MTGO leagues and dropping at 4-0 gives you the best mix of quality and secrecy
English
@IamActuallyLvL1 @RealPokemoki I am no pro but seems like testing for pro tour has to be closed. Izzet lessons wouldn't work as well if they played in any public setting?
English
Nah. Playing for stakes will always be taken more seriously than meaningless ladder points.
The fact that (outside of specific , targeted, sealed events) you can't earn/withdraw from arena means that it is less competitive in nature.
CardElk@CardElk_
@RealPokemoki Modern on Arena and you can close mtgo. Sorry
English
@Schiaveto_mtg @fireshoes @PiemontiAndrea @TonyScapone You accept that cheating is okay as long as its not enforceable.
Theyre illegally looking at their opps cards and you claim its okay.
In paper you would get DQd for looking at their hand through mirrored sunglasses. "Their fault for wearing sunglasses/streaming" not a defense
English
@fireshoes @PiemontiAndrea @TonyScapone I’m just someone that accept that my win and loses in magic are 100% my fault
English
Carllomv out here sniping in the fucking 2-3 bracket. The scum fuckery is pathetic
English
@Schiaveto_mtg @TonyScapone He's literally not playing for money at 2-3 anymore, right?
Also means that you (and the opponent in the screenshot) are willing to cheat and sell out your integrity for 175 play points.
If that's all it's worth, you probably needed it more, but you should reevaluate your lige
English
@TonyScapone Ur playing for money lol, imagine a poker player that plays with no delay on live, what do want? Do u think that people will be polite and not ghost u? Sorry but this is too much cry for me

@GavinVerhey his 1999 deck was cherished by me my whole life. i had so much fun playing it and my 12 year old brain absolutely read covetous dragon as “cove-toes” dragon haha
English
Here's one :)
I was 13 and wanted to teach my mom Magic. I thought precons might be good, so I asked her to buy 2 she liked. She got an Odyssey theme deck and... Kai's 1999 World Champ deck.
I had a lot of fun Helixing and Wildfiring all her lands! My mom did not keep playing.

Yesterday @Huschenmtg and I visited @kaibudde, who is unfortunately battling the only opponent he cannot defeat. He is still thinking about Magic and enjoys the stories and kind words people are posting about him. He had some old packs he wanted to give to the community, so whether you know him personally or as a fan, we welcome everyone to share your memories and stories with him below and we will pick some of you to send those packs to ❤️
