--- Dies To Removal --- MTGO Clan

[zemanjaski]

As for any misplays I was distracted by thoughts of bikinis and fox ears.

[Kaitscralt]

me too

[zemanjaski]

Good man.

[magicdownunder]

Just a heads up MOCS8 grinding starts after Wednesdays DT - I have no idea what the card will be but earning 35 QP for possible future App. Events maybe a good idea.

Also Booster prices are on the rise (thank goodness) I'm going too sell the THS at $3 (not all of them abut around 100 or so).

- - - - - - - - - - -

The booster went up in price, MOCS2 App. Event ends all grinders sell loot, booster prices go down AGAIN - I'm going too sell my booster JUST before MOCS3 App. Event this time (I highly doubt THS will reach 3.3 at this rate, hopefully once VM ends it hit 3 at least)

[magicdownunder]

MOCS8's Promo card is Geist of Saint Traft, thank goodness I sold my 4 the month before

in other news: The Beta is getting some updates, I'm going too presume its still horrible but if anyone uses the beta after DT tell me if its better or not.

[Purp]

Currently in the craziest daily after 2 rounds, any idea how i go back and watch my matches?

After the event is over you can just double click the game too re-watch it (back when I started playing MODO years ago you could watch games while the event was running but they removed it because it was deemed unfair)

AlsoPurp did you make it into any of the MOCS Appreciation events?

[imopen2]

it was fun tho because you had entertainment between rounds, and it was very helpful in draft to find out what bombs your opponent had or even just how their gameplan played out. I was pissed when they put the delay on

How many days will it stay on and be allowed for replay?

[magicdownunder]

It depends on how many events are firing (VM is still on until July the 2nd so I think roughly 6-9 hours after the event is over).

Agreed, though I admit I abused it every event I went in too find out what my Opp. was playing

Which is how it works in paper magic anyway.

Also I wanted more practice for GP DC so I tried a Swiss instead of an 8-4. Turns out there's no practice to be had in those.

I drafted 1 in Inn flashback and wanted to sell it later. ;/

hey guys, can you add me? username: Dpaine88

[imopen2]

i've won my last 2 vma 8-4s ... value!

[magicdownunder]

Grinding season is back!!

So if your after those 35 qps I suggest that you start farming now (esp. if your on burn) - I went in and 3-0 against really weird lists.... burn is good vs weird things like AiR and Ug Tempo

@IO2: Do you think you can play the MOCS4 Appreciation Event on July 6, 2014?

[Kaitscralt]

Mtgo is permanently changing to the Beta on July 16th

[Kaitscralt]

not sure if I can recover from that

[magicdownunder]

Its going too be painful.... on the plus side if you started playing mtgo back in 2008 you get some nice bonuses.

Beta is gonna make streaming on OBS really bad as well (larger file sizes), I HATE the trading, chatting, Game layout for exile, Graveyard and deck building I hope it improve before July the 16th.

[Kaitscralt]

I find the client basically unusable

[Kaitscralt]

Gameplay is *okay*, but the deck building, collections, and the way everything pops up into windows instead of tabs makes me loathe it

[hamfactorial]

Yuck. I updated my beta client last night, so I'll spend some time getting it to work with OBS to avoid incompetence while streaming (gameplay obviously excepted).

[BlakLanner]

If you need help, let me know. I have gotten OBS and the beta to run reasonably well together for a while now. Maybe one day I will start streaming again myself.

[hamfactorial]

Thanks Blak, I'll check with you first if I run into problems.

[Elricity]

You definitely want to set up some cropping in OBS for the Beta. Not being to hard set OBS to the game instead of a window is also a little annoying.

[imopen2]

Sorry, mdu, I'll be out of town that weekend

[magicdownunder]

Sorry, mdu, I'll be out of town that weekend

that is a shame, I'm gonna try and ask round or stock up on coffee for that date

P.S. Do we have a huge Russian Audience in DtR? Ever since the Russian 1st place GP win happened my Russian audience spiked (its has over taken my Australian Audience ).

EDIT2: The EV is so bad... the only think keeping up-float is my win-rate (its esp. difficult since I'm not selling THS).
EDIT3: BTW Pedros, your in the MOCS3 Appreciation Event so make sure too sign-up

[Lightning_Dolt]

My username is TheMountain. Can someone send me an invite? Thanks

[LaZerBurn]

Done! Good to have you on MTGO

[Purp]

I have 4 Bloodstained Mires if anyone needs them (You can basically have them).


I'm looking for flamespeakers/mana confluence if anyone has extras.

[BlakLanner]

Save them and burn faces in Legacy? Or are they just extras?

[Purp]

they are extras in the sense that i dont plan on spending any money on modo to play another format, ( I had borrowed the legacy cards from Lazer when I was testing for Inivtational.)

[Kaitscralt]

MDU I opened a really strong UB Phenax/Thoughtseize pool for the MOCS and lost to Elspeth round 1, I don't have anything else to say

[Purp]

Ps- I also RARELY play modo any more, I have the burn deck + rdw cards if anyone wants to use my account for testing (you have to put in money for your own tickets though).

[Rhyno]

Holy shit I tried the new client again and all my cards are still the size of tic tacs and the card size slider won't change it.

[Pedros]

4-4 in MOCS, god strong pool with 5mana hydra, 6 mana hydra, arbor colosus, dictate of heliod, pain seer, polis crusher and herald of torment. Lost to flood / screw / lack of mana / missplays.

Finally can see this website.

Darn, was that enough to cash out?

I saw that, it was quite brutal.

EDIT1: Anyone used Beta since the last downtime, I'm wondering if its any better yet?

[Pedros]

I played on it whole Championships, was better (arrows were better, sorting worked)

[magicdownunder]

Vintage Master ends after Tuesday - hopefully that would mean a stronger EV in the next few days.

@Pedros: I'm seriously thinking about selling 150 THS (I'll hoard the other 100+) once it hit $3 do you think it will go into 3.3 or more in the next week or so or would it take MUCH longer then that?

P.S. I looks like I'm now the only DtR member still in the running for potyr since the others drop under rank 150 - my rating however are still jumping up and down in between 1800-1900 so I'll try and get it stable later.

[Pedros]

@MDU

Rating doesnt mean anything right now, this is common misconception about being paired by people of different rating.
I dont play for potyr couse I have other stuff to do plus I dont enjoy standard right now. I however still play modern dailys with cash results.
Theros is steady going up - currently up to 2,81 on goatbots buylist. I think I will also sell some boosters to play M15 and prepare for WMCQ. Looking for some help with deck idea here among other places. Why?

My GP and PTQ went well of the cloud syndrome here with people disscusing and testing and talking about options. For only 1 person it is really hard - I played 106 (probably more however I recored only this matches) games on premierFNM circuit (13$ FNM with good prices), MTGO daily and PTQ/PTQTesting with my G Devo with current 72,64% win percentage, however It is close to nothing to cloud testing of other decks - while preparing for GP Vienna I
played ~150 games on mtgo with YP Agro, however together we played probably more than 2000 games. Thats why deck was that polished.

[magicdownunder]

Yeah, Lazer debunked the pairing myth with an ORC earlier this year (its a shame because I really believed it).

That said rating does help you form an indication on that level your on since its just based on your win percentage etc:

Less than 1500: Terrible
1500-1600: Bad, or at least very new.
1600-1700: Average. Typical of Friday Night Magic.
1700-1800: Slightly above average.
1800-1900: Good. Able to win PTQs. <-- my current level sadly
1900-2000: Very good. Potential Pro Tour caliber. <-- my level during the PyroWhite and Cawblade days
2000+: Rare Skill. Pro Tour regular. <--- is it even possible

Information source

Member from our board like Josh Silvestri and Zem also rate the rating system
highly, as do I.

How did we get on this topic, anyway I agree that the communal effect really help solidify a deck list - the main problem is (as far as I can tell) is that this community is mainly R which is an issue if you love the G based strategies and for me I like anything R which produced me results (so unless M15 makes burn bad I'll have trouble not running it).

It also seem that we enjoy playing Game of Thrones the DtR version during our "debates" as well

Back on the EV topic, I notice the .20 increase mid yesterday - I truly hope its a good sign
