Who willingly signs up for this shit lol. Every cEDH tournament has an "experience we can all learn from to grow as a community". 5 rounds of being water boarded via cardboard.
context: there was a 10K cEDH event in Provo last weekend (draw your own conclusions about that) and players were colluding by creating "Shahrazad based board states" where they "reset" their games and locked players out by using infinite loops, which let them avoid drawing games

Doesn't this happen in magic fairly often? Not arguing it makes it healthy but I feel like every tcg goes through this at some point....

I eat nothing, maybe one 15 dollar convention center sandwich. I take my hunger fueled rage out by winning matches of magic
As a TCG player, the better I ate, the better I played. I’ve seen the same with my clients.
So I put it all in one free guide: what to eat, what to drink and how to manage caffeine on tournament day.
Here it is 👇

Lands are bad. Shuffler is rigged. Games are decided by luck. Nah. You are just BAD, amigo.
Some time ago, you would have become a judge.
Vai, good luck trying to win at your next TCG.

For those keeping score at home, the Top 8 includes
2024 EW NA Legacy champ (just won again)
2022 EW NA Legacy champ (+ 2023 finalist)
MOCS champ + one of the best Legacy players in the world
Elite online Doomsday ringer
They probably just drew the right number of lands idk

Its funny that usually the people that are assholes like this are the most medium players in the room.
I went to a large-ish Magic event when I was in high school. I asked my round 1 opponent if I could read a card he played. He replied "Don't touch my cards! If you don't already know that card you should just leave now, because you have no chance of winning this tournament."

Here is my list. Seemed pretty important to load up on brood hate so I went with consign AND Charmaw. Plan worked as I went 4-0 against it. Boomerang basics was fantastic. Dont play pompous battle mage. Your goal is to kill them not "trigger cutter by itself"
🏆Congratulations to our own @Oinkmage who made Top 8 of today's Regional Championship Los Angeles! He also earned his Pro Tour Detroit qualification.
Gabe is also the first player to Top 8 three RC's!
Great job Gabe!

Lost to the goat @toothymtg1 in top 8 of #RCLA. Super excited to be back on the PT and get another RC top 8!! Played prowess at the advice of @sixmp5. Changed a few cards but the deck carried. On to the next! 🐖

I play a weird sub game in my head if I play revealed. Should I still hold up spell snare if my opponent knows about it etc. Maybe sub optimal but I stop playing while my opponent is writing down my hand. I become frozen in time.
Your opponent Thoughtseizes you, thinks, and picks a card. They then ask you if you mind playing with the revealed cards face up to avoid wasting time writing them down. Do you:

Top 8 in Modern Challenge with UR Murktide 🔥
I just wanted to have some fun with an old deck I really enjoyed playing a few years ago, and somehow it performed way better than expected
Always nice to bring an old favorite back
