He's not saying there is anything wrong with swiss. It serves a purpose. But telling a veteran 8-4 player to go back to swiss is probably one of the most rage inducing statements you could make

As you may or may not know most old MTGO players will be rewarded with one FREE M15 release event
Do you have a link or more info on this, it's the first I've heard of it.

The source its the mothership which I linked a few pages back, normally I wouldn't mind looking for it and re-linking it again but the current mothership layout makes it REALLY difficult to find older information.

Legacy Burn, I feel like changing it up a little and farming VM boosters

Don't we have a LaZerburn signal that we can point into the night sky to summon him? I'd imagine it would simply just be a woman's ass.

Pauper 5-3-2-2's are Swiss, right?

I thought so anyway, but people are getting their names crossed out?!

Should Theros block packs be liquidated right away, or saved?

Single Elimination scares me a lot more than Swiss...

The prize support for swiss just wins you your packs back, 4-3-2-2 gives you two packs for winning a round which is a nice consolation prize, 8-4 gives the best value
It is why after getting their bearings most people move out of the swiss

I think there is only one option for Pauper though, right?

Woot! Won my first Pauper tournament.

I got 2 Qualifier Points? How many do I need?
Posted: Tue Jul 15, 2014 5:10 am
by imopen2
15 qps in order to qualify for a prelim (that doesn't exist), if you do well enough in the prelim, you qualify to play in the end of season 2 week period) MOCS event (that also doesn't exist), OR 35 qps will qualify you directly for the MOCS event (that still doesn't exist). Sometimes, like they did with these recent appreciation events, wotc will try to reward those who were grinding hard all season and try to satiate them until they can figure out how to run a magic cards tournament on the computer.

Well Done!!!!
You'll need 35 QP for the next appreciation event which they're bound too release.

Lazerburn can you invite Whole into the online clan? he would have added us so many boosters had we notice that he wasn't init much earlier.

Any point in holding packs right now? Or sell em?
Posted: Tue Jul 15, 2014 4:04 pm
by Elricity
You can really only hold them until you run out of tickets so if you're trying to build a bankroll like me, it's difficult to hold them when they might rise in price.

Do we think they're trending up or down?

Pedros is our local MTGO economic master: past treads would suggest that ALL cards will go up in price after rotations.
Rotations is a VERY long way away, in this short term period I except THS to increase in value esp. after M15 arrives (fingers crossed on 3.3+) - JOU and BnG to hit at least 2.5-3 (though this is unlikely for JOU).
- - - - - - - - -
That said I agree with Elricity, as a new player you don't have the cash flow to save so you'll need to sell everything to stay above - alternatively you can have an 80%+ win ratio and stay above red by selling either just THS or just (JOU + BNG).

Ok, thanks for the advice.

Basicly it works like that: If you dont need cash/tixes now, dont sell boosters. Past trends tells us that boosters will cost more in fall, however there is this weird V4 Transitions, which may affect prices.

After losing Three 2-Mans and One DE with Legacy (-18 tickets) I decided too vent in standard.
It went really well, however does anyone else notice that its much harder/less obvious too communicate with other people in v4 (beta)? I couldn't get anyone too respond let along split (had too beat them instead)
I also experience this really annoying trade binder bug where I spend the better half of an hour setting up only too have NOTHING in my binder after I re-log...

Yeah, the chat/game log is really not easily visible. Although, I guess you can try cramming it on the right hand side like it works before.

Disregard chat. Acquire packs.
