Yea, basically, but that's in journey into nyx. Since the set isn't out yet, it's hard to say if it's good or not. Born of the gods had a lot of cards I enjoy, but overall it was a poor set. Theros, on the other hand, introduced devotion, bestow, and heroic, which are all creative and useful additions to the game. I also found the limited environment to be entertaining.

Play magic, ya fuckThey are legendary rarity cards. You get cards in booster packs like in other card games but you can also "melt down" your cards and use the rarity-coded value the game gives you to "buy" other cards. There's no way to buy cards with cash and players can't trade or sell singles.

I thought I would share what I witnessed at Grand Prix Phoenix this past weekend. I've seen a lot of crazy rumors on twitter and the internet, so out of fairness to Alex I think it makes sense to just get the facts out there.
In Round 12, I was easily defeated by the amiable Florian Koch at Table 41. Next to us, at Table 42, Chris LaVassaur was locked in battle with Alex Bertoncini. As I packed my deck, dice, and pen into my bag, Alex cast the spell Supreme Verdict, wiping Chris's board and leaving Chris with only Mutavault to attack Alex. I noticed that Alex had tapped three blue and one white mana for his Verdict, leaving up another white mana and Mutavault.
I immediately informed Alex that he needed two white for his Verdict and then started to walk away.
Although I don't know Alex personally, his reputation precedes him, so I decided to quickly check out Alex's hand to confirm that this was an
honest mistake. As soon as I walked behind him, I noticed the card he had at the front of his hand: Last Breath.
I sprinted to the head judge to let her know what I had witnessed and suggest that they pause the match and investigate. Although I don't know all the details of the on-site investigation, Alex was not assessed a penalty.
It's virtually impossible to prove intent in situations like this, but the combination of a simple board state, motive (the Last Breath vs. opposing Mutavault) and the player's reputation set off alarm bells in my head.
Unfortunately, I don't have information such as life totals, what game it was, or other context. And I made a critical mistake by not forcing the players to pause the match while I got a judge. My instinct was just to run to someone wearing a red shirt, and I followed it.
Please take two things away from this:
1. Protect yourself at all times and please don't be offended when your opponent does the same. Holding your
opponent to a high technical standard and calling judges for seemingly minor infractions doesn't mean you are accusing them of cheating. It's making the world a better place.
2. If you see something that doesn't look right, pause the match and find a judge. Don't let the players keep playing. I blew it, and I regret it.
Best regards,
Paul Rietzl
