Yeah. Thing is theory based articles take a few hours to write (eg. Magma jet article was ~4 hours work), whereas articles on deck development (say, "this week do this" or "beating mono black") aren't so intensive, but I kinda need to be playing a lot to have the grounding to write them.

I'd rather just record videos tbh, that's easy money.

DEs and above yeah, aka anything with a positive return on time.

[TBuzzsaw]

It's the worst feeling in the world when you lose to the derpiest mono red decks due to an extreme case of mana flooding in two games.

And by derpy I mean the guy maindecks Annihilating Fire but no Lightning Strike and Dragon Egg as his only 3 drop. I had to sit back and watch Arena Athlete and Borderland Minotaur take me down one game and Utvara Hellkite in another.

I need a drink.

[hamfactorial]

I didn't look at the prize support for the 8-mans, but noticed a new 3 round Swiss format. Do you know if they're giving extra prize packs as a result of no DEs?

[zemanjaski]

I have no idea what's going on I'm afraid. What's the payout for the 3-round Swiss?

[hamfactorial]

1 pack per round win for the Swiss, at least in Modern where I looked. Good for practice, terrible EV.

Well at least everything is free now, so making a turnaround isn't as big of a deal. You should record some 8mans in the interim since that's all you've got available to you.

Six tix to buy in?

Yes sir

[zemanjaski]

Ah so it's exactly the same as the TMNOs, but without the free cards for going 2-1 or better. Fuck wotc is stingy.

[Valdarith]

Laser - yeah? I'm sorry.

But it's actually worked for the best. We moved back from Huntsville AL a few months after we had the twins and my wife finished her Masters. This area is much smaller with not nearly as much to see or do but there are a lot of nice benefits to the area, especially if you've lived in the area as long as I have. Plus there are actually a lot of competitive Magic players here.

Is somebody going to attend GP Wien?
Yarpus maybe?

[Aodh]

Do those grinders just multiqueue all day and have like 70% win rates? I've never played MODO, but it's pretty cool to hear people are doing well with it. Paper Magic is a hobby, but MODO could supplement a salary nicely:

I'm too poor to buy a real deck on Modo. You're expecting me to travel to Vien?

[Kazekirimaru]

lol that's like 10 hours by train.

Just because they're in the same land mass doesn't mean they're close.

[Kazekirimaru]

"Ohey you live in Los Angeles? You must visit New York all the time being American and all..."

[RedNihilist]

Ohey, I live in northern Italy and I'm thinking of going.
It's 9 hours and 24 minutes by train.

Well... have you got any problem with that?

[RedNihilist]

I mean, I've attended a fuckin' STARCRAFT BYOPC LAN in OSTRAVA (Czech Republic) in 2006, go check the distances of that.

Yeah pretty much. Most if them would be 60-65% winrates. The really elite guys are about 75%. My peak was 79% for a couple of months at the start of the year (my heart still yearns for zealous conscripts).

[Yarpus]

Just to be sure - you mean Vienna?
Hell, it's more of a money business. Sleeping in Vienna would cost me a fucking lot.
Consider that I'd pay 5x more money for that because of currency.

If you mean Warsaw... then maybe. But I doubt it.

[redthirst]

Pretty sure zem just curb-stomped a dude on Sally.

[Kazekirimaru]

Pretty sure I want a link

that thread should have a health disclaimer.

Also, hi.

[hamfactorial]

Get in my belly, gravy

[DroppinSuga]

Gravy is the second best condiment, right behind ketchup.

[TubeHunter]

Never been a gravy guy...


sue me.

[Valdarith]

Sausage gravy is God's gift to mankind.

[FullofGravy]

gravy + fries is our standard drunkfood

Poutine is one of the only reasons I venture into Quebec.
