Old Man of the Sea

Probably the most sexually suggestive card in the game.
What did she do to you?

Old man is clearly raping that dude's face.

More importantly, what didn't she do to me?

When someone asks you if you're a rhino, you say "YES"!

the scg commentators will sometimes say 'Mr. A doesn't want to draw because he'll be put into the x-y-1 w/l/d bracket since he has a weak matchup against control decks"
how real is the strategy of forfeiting a timed out game?

Song goes in

And yes forfeiting round early rounds so you don't draw is a real thing...

Lets say round 3 you draw with UB control as Mardu. That early in the tourney, a draw might as well be a loss. Would you rather be in the tie bracket, where your chances of playing decks that have good long grindy matchups against you, or would you rather play against a UW heroic deck in the 2-1 bracket?

This is obvious based on what you've already said, but since control decks have the largest likelihood of drawing then entering the draw bracket gives you a greater likelihood of being matched against control. If that's a bad matchup then you don't want that. Of course, this "strategy" has a very fast drop-off, and it all depends on how many rounds and how many players. If it's late in the tournament and you don't have any losses, or it's already day 2 and you can afford a second or third loss at a GP then it's something to consider. But if you're at the top tables of a GP on day 2 then it's hard to believe your deck is weak to control.

Now that SCG Opens are 15 rounds and structured like a GP it may come up more often, depending on how prevalent control is in the given format at the time. This also presumes you've done some scouting and have a good idea of what you'd face if you take the draw or the loss.

who cares

Kaitscralt · Postby **Kaitscralt** » Fri Jan 30, 2015 6:41 pm

to everyone here, there is no draw bracket of FNM so going 2-1-1 is just better

Valdarith · Postby **Valdarith** » Fri Jan 30, 2015 7:16 pm

But everyone here always goes x-2 so wouldn't it be 1-2-1?

Kaitscralt · Postby **Kaitscralt** » Fri Jan 30, 2015 7:29 pm

yea, I was feeling generous cuz it's Friday, but you're absolutely right

So much hate for my local players. Every last one backed out of going to regionals next weekend. Makes it a little hard to justify going.

They didn't want to deal with a 6 hour drive and a hotel stop. The annoying part was that they were all but certain that they were going when I asked last week.

Looking for something to watch. SCG is Legacy, no thanks. CFB is Team Sealed, pass. Shit formats.

I Google "MTG streams" and find some website that aggregates MTG streams. #1 on the list is SCG's stream with 6k viewers. Never realized how little viewers SCG actually gets. Decided to check out what other games get to compare. I notice two things:

1. Some Hearthstone streamer has 30k+ viewers currently. Just one stream. Lol, GG MTG.

2. Hearthstone looks absolutely terrible. It looks like an iPhone app game. Why is this so popular? I get that the MTGO client has bugs, but it at least looks better than this garbage:

During the really big tournaments, LoL would pull over 100k viewers. Starcraft tournaments frequently pull 50-60k and many popular WoW streamers pull 10-15k independently.

Hell, imaqtpie is streaming LoL right now with 31k viewers.

Hearthstone was made to be visually appealing with affects and shit. When you win, your opponent literally explodes.
