Didn't realize this thread was active. Guess I should browse more than the burn thread lol. I missed out on things like "I believe we can scrap up at least 3 Burn decks" it seems.

@MDU, can't help you on the VMA Sealed thing either btw :(
Darn, cheers for the heads up :smileup: you did great in the last limited MOCS

In regards with that legacy MOCS - burn did really well since two made it into top8 (one being blaklanner) and the only deck which 7-0 the first half was burn ;-)

Oh it's active, as sexually active as Ham's woman was in 7th grade
:rofl:

the ptq structure seems strange...how quickly do you think the queues for them will fill?

I will see it then.

MDU update me on MOCS please, as I cant find shit about them...

EDIT

I spend 50$ on mtgo (looks like it) on 2012.
what do you think your collection would sell for?

i want to look up my spending history (it is probably a disgustingly large amount), but i can't seem to be bothered to switch to my windows side and open modo :/

i bet khans will bring me back in again. m15 is kinda boring, and now that summer is ending, i think i'll start being indoors a bit more

I was hoping Kait would have answer this question by now since he is the only one brave enough among us to tackle the $30 PTQ Limited events - I think if they're like the championship qualifier most of them will fire (esp. if your playing in the American timezone).

P.S. RL has been keeping me really busy as of late (combine with horrible working hours) so I haven't been able to play much either (which is bad because I have ANOTHER MOCS on in a few days Sunday, September 14, 2014: Standard).

I think I'll skip Saturday, September 27, 2014: MOCS Legacy Sealed unless someone else would like too play it
instead - I don't think it will be worth the all-nigher at my skill level.

when do you guys think M15 pack will go back up? never? after the release of KTK?

Posted: Thu Sep 11, 2014 7:45 pm
by BlakLanner
Historically, core set packs raise a while after the next packs release.

So I'm probably better off hoarding mine in the meantime.

On a tablet, I would worry about the screen being too small for the cards to be readable. I definitely prefer having more vertical space. My main monitor runs at 1920x1200 (16:10).

I set my MTGO window to 1540x1040 when I stream, so if you view a stream of mine at full resolution, you'll see how big that looks on your tablet.

Posted: Mon Sep 15, 2014 4:23 pm
by hamfactorial
The height is the limiting factor, typically. If the cards look readable at my resolution, it will look very similar (but wider) at a higher horizontal resolution.

Ok. Time to get back. Wanna apologize to Pedros for promising him Confluences and then never logging again... Well, I owe you something.

Still have like 140 QP. Top 150 should be doable. Gonna stay on RB, just change Exavas to Rabble and exile some green fatty with Lifebane. Also, Stoke! I am gonna fit it in. Never liked Ultimate Price anyway, SB of 2 Betrayals, 2 Blades and 1 Price solves it.

Also if anyone would like to play as MDU suggested on 27th feel free to PM me. I am probably gonna be drunk from the night before so no way in hell I am gonna make results.

Or Essentially any Sunday MOCS. Have Qps till season 5 or 6.

Great seeing you active again Jedi_Knight, right now I'm the only member in the top200 T_T (Z, Pedros and yourself dropped awhile back).

Hopefully we can both find replacements for the 27th Legacy Vintage Master Sealed Event but I think lots of people are intimidated by large events (they prefer local metas) so it will be tough.

EDIT: Cheers Blak

The 27th is Vintage Masters Sealed. I have never even tried that format and I am uneasy about trying to learn it during a MOCS Finals. If it were a Legacy event, you know I would have dove in by now.

Hmmmm this month's QP farming has been rough, with all the excitement around KtK the SE fire rates have drastically decreased during my periods of activity (which have drastically shrank over the past few weeks).

I do dislike how that top8 and top15 during MOCS didn't add any points (both mocs replays are in my youtube site) if rating were still up that would of been nice as well :/.

- - - - - - -

Now for our MTGO news:

Khans of Tarkir Prerelease and Release Key Dates
Prerelease Begins: 10:00 a.m. Friday, October 3
On-Sale: Monday, October 6
Release Events End: 12:00 a.m. Wednesday, October 22
Redemption Guarantee: June 1, 2016
Redemption Cutoff: May 31, 2017
All times are
Pacific (for UTC, add 7 hours)

Source: (mothership)

My recommendation is that you skip these overpriced events - unless your prepping for KtK related events sometime soon (like for instant MOCS).

P.S. sorry about the news lag last week - I was busy, I apparently missed the news about pauper and momir returning into DE and that whole Community Cup thing.

- - - - - - - - -

@Blak or anyone really: I'm not looking for a limited master (though I would love one) for the 27th event so I wouldn't mind if someone just play for kicks (since I think its a waste of QP if no one uses it).

I do liek me some Sarkhan avatár though. He looks pissed which is how I feel when looking at the collection tab.

MDU, I will give it a shot if you can find no one else. I make no promises in regards to performance though. Limited has never been my strong suit.

You got no points for the Top8 or Top16? That is asinine given the level you have to play at to do that well in such an event.

Yeah its quite silly - points for the Player of the Year Race can only be gathered via QP, beating international pros pffft it nothing compared with SE or DE QPs

Good god are the new hand sizes awful. I had it exactly how I wanted it and can't duplicate it after the changes.

What changes? I just played a game and they don't seem different.

MOCS11 farming starts on the 24th the card will be Entomb format Standard :yes:

Thus if anyone still need 15 or 35 QP for MOCS10 (format KtK Sealed) you have up until the 24th to finish.

If you kept your hand at the default size, I am not sure much changed. If you look at my videos you will see that I shrunk my cards down so only the name, art, and card type were visible. Now, at that height, they shrunk the whole card down to be visible and the text is nearly unreadable at that size.

Ahhhhhh~

That happened awhile ago so I forgot about it - you can drag the bar upwards so that your hand is more visible (you'll only need to fiddle with it once, unlike the annoying revel boxes).

Posted: Fri Sep 19, 2014 3:36 pm
by BlakLanner
I know that I can drag it up but that eats up lots of precious vertical space that I was trying to conserve by shrinking it in the first place.

Ok MDU I panicked and sold 33% of my boosters for 2,7 - 2.65. Goatbot was buying for 2.4 that was why I did it.

Bots didnt buy more than 10 of each booster from you, however you can cheat them if you have other thing you want. I sold them packages of 10 ths 1 journey or btg and they bought it every time.

This morning prices bqcked up, however I dont understand this trend. There is least amount of ths awarded in drafts.
