Anecdotally I've had far greater success with battlesphere in jace/bob/vault than I have had with BSC - and bob BSC has lost me games when battlesphere would have left me alive (and been hardcastable) more often than I like.

Thank you.

The person's name is Andy Booth. He's admitted that he's been selling cards that he stole from me bit by bit to both Pandemonium and Comicazi.

If you have ANY information about dates/times that he's sold things, please contact me - I've been in touch with the police and any information will help.

This is an old picture, lately he wears a white hoodie, black sunglasses, is thinner, has a beard, and a shaved head. He's about 5'9" or so.

Attention to all Boston area magic players: I've had the main heart of my collection stolen from me. If you see these for sale please let the store and me know.

Maybe $2000 worth total, I'm not sure. I don't have an index.

Please help and share this around. If you know if/where they were sold please let people know. I have a description of the thief and if not returned shortly I'll be filing a police report. Any info will help

Deck Box:

This may have been taken


This would be in the UB deck.

Yup

It records each conversation with the server, so it's more than just screenshots.

My github is the more-or-less official center for patches and software changes, for anyone who wants to help submit. I'm pretty sure someone got oracle working again.

I think anything requiring players to provide a statistical proof during play is not an appropriate rule. The judges aren't even qualified to make sure your "proof" is correct.

Those images were never distributed though. Even the links weren't distributed. The user generated a file containing links to the images that live on hasbro's servers, and all the software does is take that file with a list of links and download them.

I thought my browser was broken.

Game rules cannot be copyrighted in the US

Having trojans on installed computers is extremely profitable. You can direct a botnet to mass attack a website to bring it down, distribute spam emails, distribute illegal material, sniff your connection for passwords to anything you log into, sniff for credit card info, bounce connections off to disguise the source of future hacks...

That's not true at all. There's a lot of value in hacking a site, especially an established one. You can inject drive-by browser attacks into the pages it serves so that visitors get infected.

What was your list?

Anecdotally from my own experience, Mana Drain is fantastic against shops - when you're even in the game, it drastically helps swing it in your favor. Having it in your deck means that any time you can muster resources for a two-mana spell, you can negate one of their mid game turns completely (given that outside of the first few turns, they don't usually cast more than one spell)

Generally the combo decks are black and have many many better tutors available.

However, I do think it may aid a toolbox-style approach in base-white hate decks.

Sweet

Are you going to be posting lists?

If this were on a 2/x it might see play, but as is, I don't see how any deck wants to cut effective cards for this.

I like it a lot.

If you have the mana to resolve that, you should be casting a real kill spell instead.

Adan's experience is the same as mine, using him in a typical jace-bob-timevault deck. He's also fantastic null rod insurance since a 5/5 trumps about everything except ooze and goyf, which both die to doom blade or deathmark or perish

That still doesn't deal with Thalia or Sphere effects.

The cockatrice cards.xml could be pretty trivially adapted to a csv depending what information you wanted exactly.

So very in.

If he's causing too much trouble, he can be removed. For now, the ignore list is an underused feature (if he's registered, otherwise just don't allow unreg users to join your games)

This has been discussed a ton of times, and it's not going to happen. The potential for abuse is far far higher than any possible benefit.

I can't attend Gencon this year due to logistical reasons, but were I going, that reply would really help my concerns. Thank you for taking care of your patrons!

I'll have the mod team keep an eye on him.

Nice report! Wow, in a meta like that I'd be playing something with 4 maindeck cages...
