Dies to Removal

magicdownunder

Wow... well ****ing done WOTC they ninja remove the 6:30 and 9:00 Legacy events so now we're only left with two event on HORRIBLE hours.

magicdownunder

If M15 works the same way M14 and M13 did then yes... however I've given up on penny pinching since nothing seems to be working out this season (I think its due to v4 and the recent spam of events which flooded the market with extra boosters).

magicdownunder

Cheers for the effort Pedros, great to have you back IO2

On my end I can't wait until pre-release is over because none of my legacy DE seem to be firing D:

magicdownunder

I don't have it but I can reconstruct it from the video. MTGO stopped saving limited decklists it seems.

I havn't played limited in awhile but I could have sworn they had the feature in v4, I wonder why they'll bother to remove something which no one complain about

When the prerelease events start, does standard switch to KTK?

Sorry I wasn't reading the thread

I posted when the pre-releases started earlier but here they are again:

Khans of Tarkir Prerelease Events begin Friday, October 3. On Monday, October 6, prerelease events will come to an end, and Khans of Tarkir will officially be on sale!

I have no idea when standard turns into KtK, normally it happens with prerelease.

magicdownunder

Better you than me after my last showing.

It wasn't horrible I doubt I could have done any better, btw would you happen to have your decklist saved somewhere? if so could you post the list is text form here: viewtopic.php?f=47&t=2803&view=unread#unread for some reason the decklist isn't saved on my end ;/

Is there a Forked Bolt bug?

Its just a replay bug, I'll have the game up Friday (Your Thursday)

- - - - - - -

Reminder:

Next MOCS:

Saturday, October 4, 2014 - September (S10) MOCS - Khans of Tarkir Sealed 7 a.m. Pacific

Anyone up for the challenge?

magicdownunder

Best combo ever

- I actually lost the first round vs Pox Depth because I decided to pitch Searing Blaze over my mountain and ended up being short 1-3 damage, I still won in the end though.

magicdownunder

Cheers for the effort mate

EDIT: It seems like Twitch killed the audio

I'll just toss in random music

I'll upload the videos most likely on Wednesday

<-- after I upload these videos can either Alex, Kait or IO2 go through the deck-building video and tell what we should have done differently?

As a side-note I finally learnt how to remove most of the white noise (humming) in my videos so everything from Thursday on-wards will be less annoying.

- - - - - -

Wow... that was fast next MOCS:

Saturday, October 4, 2014 - September (S10) MOCS - Khans of Tarkir Sealed 7 a.m. Pacific

Anyone
up for the challenge?

magicdownunder

Nothing interesting is happening this week for the online world.

Here is a reminder for those interested:

Jedi_Knight and I have QP for the Vintage Masters Sealed (MOCS Final) on Saturday, September 27, 2014 (7 a.m. Pacific.) <-- both of us don't really care if you win or not we're just looking to provide a nice FREE opportunity for those who want to practice in a competitive environment - so PM if your interested (you'll be rewarded with half of whatever you win plus Epeen/Glory.

@Grinders: Don't forget MOCS11 grinding is up now, the format will be standard

@Kait and IO2: I agree

I really need to stop hoarding boosters, but I'm just so greedy...

magicdownunder

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.

I saw the prices as well (I don't really understand it myself), I decided not too sell yet so I'm stilling holding onto my 195 THS and 32 M15 because I think prices will change once KtK hits - as long as the prices don't drop under 2 tickets I don't think I'll be losing out on much.

Congratulation Hk1997 for breaking into the top200 (he is ranked 149)

Extra Details

magicdownunder

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).

magicdownunder

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

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

magicdownunder

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.

magicdownunder

hamfactorial or Pedros would you happen to own 3-4 Mindbreak Trap which I can borrow?

magicdownunder

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.

Cheers

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

- - - - -

Happy Birthday (from future land) Blaklanner

magicdownunder

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).

magicdownunder

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

magicdownunder

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

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.

magicdownunder

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

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

magicdownunder

Saturday, September 27, 2014, Vintage Masters Sealed (MOCS3) any limited masters up for the challenge?
unfortunately that's my friend's wedding...

Darn, thanks for the heads up mate

.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

For a relatively young clan we got some pretty decent achievements so far:

Three top 32 during MOCS
MDU, Whole and Pedros

Two top8 during MOCS
Kait and Blaklanner

Three-Four top 32 during the last year standard Championship
If I recall this should include Jedi_Knight, Dauntless and two more but I can't I can't put my finger on it

We also had five members in the top200 for the player of the year race, though I'm the only one remaining.

I'm quite interested about the return of leagues (though I'm not sure what it entails) and for our eventual MOCS, championship or PTQ victory (though sadly most PTQ event are limited so our active members for those events are low).

magicdownunder

Saturday, September 27, 2014, Vintage Masters Sealed (MOCS3) any limited masters up for the challenge?

magicdownunder

Unloaded some boosters, still have ~200 boosters to sell ;/

Does anyone have got green fetches they are not using? I sold mine to not loose money when Khans come, however I cant play modern now...

I'm not using my Misty Rainforest if they help (have four) - I should have 4x Verdant Catacombs as well but I need to double check?

Who did you unload your boosters on? I've been trying too do the same....

PTQ Limited Qualifier are on tomorrow

magicdownunder

Anyone happen to own an extra [card]Elspeth, Sun's Champion[/card] which I can borrow (though it maybe a good idea to buy 1-3 since creatures are looking rather scary)?

magicdownunder

Born of the Gods Booster finally hit 3 tickets.... I knew this day would finally come

just had too keep believing, hopefully it won't be long until they all hit 3+ tickets (except for Journey into Nyx Booster <-- its a p.o.s)

magicdownunder

Deck Construction 20 minutes
Location: Scheduled Events

Extra Details

Still no idea about time or enter fee (it better not be $50 like the vintage master event), you should be able to see the event after DT today

magicdownunder

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.

Nice

so you did the smart thing and built your riches slowly from the get-go.

I when I first started MTGO I used it mainly as a practice tool for testing out new decks for paper - thus I keep buying newer and pointless deck rather then refining.

Here are the MOCS details: [url=http://magic.wizards.com/en/MTGO/articl ... 2014-07-30]http://magic.wizards.com/en/MTGO/articl ... 2014-07-30[/url:

magicdownunder

I never notice it before but MTGO: BETA v4 has all your MTG spending history recorded, I have to say its eyeopening too see the amount of money which builds up when you addicted to virtual cardboard crack.

In my case its a whooping $2000+ dollars (most of it in the first year, I blame the Extended format

), if I was to sell my collection now and convert it back into usable money I'll only barely recover - I know most of you only started this year but how is it for you guys (esp. the 5+ year vets)?

magicdownunder

Interesting, I believe v4 is actually better at guiding newer player through the steps as long as they read.

magicdownunder

@Jamie what is your online username?

@All here are the details:

Update Details

Source (mothership)

I'm really interested about "New: The event details screen was given a major overhaul including adding new display grids, better filtering and sorting of results, and more timely display of information." and about all bug fixes.

magicdownunder

Did you ever get your cards?

magicdownunder

????

Where did you buy it from? If you made a trade with an online bot it happens instantly - I usually use Goatbots for convenience sake since I sell my booster too them, but when I'm bother to hunt for a bargain I buy them from digging around the trade area or using http://mtgowikiprice.com/.

magicdownunder

Beware the Walker Bug:

I manage to beat the abuser before he assemble the combo - but you should keep this in mind if you ever face Naya Walkers

magicdownunder

holy shit 50 tickets to enter into a limited champs qualifier! what a joke

luckily i won some vintage masters packs in the 1 vintage masters draft i did

Jesus... even the inf. players will question entering that one, I can't find the details on the vintage master championship are the prizes really good or something (maybe its will be like appreciation events where you can keep what you open in the during the championship + whatever prizes you win)?

magicdownunder

I have 'some' amount of money and can feasibly get into mtgo. How much am I looking at to make a full boros burn deck?

Roughly 180 dollars (source), rotation is happening soon though.

It is possible to make back all your money and go inf. (it would take some dedications (intense grind) or a few months of victories) though if go by all the "inf" guides online its not easy... that said I'm under the impression it isn't that hard based on the comments from the guys on the Burn thread.

magicdownunder

I log into MTGO for the first time in a while and wow - I find out they're holding a Vintage Masters as the limited Championship this month

I know the limited PTQ is also at the end of this month, but Kait and IO2 you guys should give the limited championship a shot: Qualifiers are currently firing (they should last until till the week ends).
