While we're waiting...what do you guys think of the pro tour origins lists?

JA14732 says... #9

Actually haven't looked. What's new and cool?

I should go look - but I tend to only lightly glance at what is happening in standard -

I mean, I know that everyone's playing 4 copies of Jace, but....

I'm going to be right back, just going to run to the restroom real quick.

I do like some of the new cards coming out, though - none of them seem way OP but this deck list is using quite a few of them!

Top 8 List

Mono red bores me...glad to see U/R thopters in the top and I hope one of the lists win.

Also very happy that I spec'd somewhat on Demonic Pact. Time to sell my 4x foil and nonfoils... :)

I put a message on matt's wall, hopefully we hear back from him soon.

I usually buy from the new sets in 3 cases:

  • Something new came out that I WANT and I jump on it.
  • Something I want (but could wait for) cycled out
  • I didn't realize how cool something was for one of my decks and it is under $2

I feel that in a few years or so, I might start to get a better idea about what is worth speculating on. I don't really do that so much now, kind of stick to picking up what I am sure to use or trading for things to try.

Maybe things will change next year, though - there is a chance, actually that the "Magic Club" at my new school is an MTG club ... and that means I will have to bite the bullet on playing Standard.

Thank you for all the facillitating JA14732!

CARRY ON YOU WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER

CARRY ON NOTHING EQUALS THE SPLENDOR

Now your life's no longer empty.

Surely Heaven waits for YOUUUUUUUU!

Got you. I have a full-time career and have graduated college (I feel old now :D), but it wasn't that long ago that I was a broke high school student, so I understand.

I'm getting better at investing, but that doesn't mean that sometimes I flop lol.

On another note, how long are we supposed to wait? In the event that he doesn't show, are we supposed to reschedule? This is rather annoying.

JA14732 says... #20

I'm also not getting anything from Novice, so....

Wait until we hear from either of them?

August 2, 2015 2:27 p.m.

guessling says... #21

Well ... I am on the other side of that desk actually! :D

I feel like we should have just let that murderhappens dude just join in and been like ... whhhaaat?

But it is a tournament so there may be something more official to be done ... too bad NoviceMagician is not around!

August 2, 2015 2:28 p.m.

UpsetYoMama says... #22

Yeah, I guess we wait.

I'm chatting with SirFowler right now on untap.

Maybe he has something?

August 2, 2015 2:30 p.m.

guessling says... #24

Yep - I might go into a sort of wait mode where I come back every 5 or so ... I am not one for "just sitting" and so on ... at least not for very long ...

If neither turn up we could either:

(A) play with the 3 of us anyway and let them sort it out when they get back - at worst we just play again and had a nice testing sesion!

(B) drop it and reschedule

I think we should set a time limit within which we will decide (A) or (B).

August 2, 2015 2:30 p.m.

guessling says... #25

That would be fine - I wouldn't mind throwing down with SirFowler in the mix.
