ShuffleTech is the first time I have ever seen High quality sleeves paired with sleeve inserts at a reasonable – no great price.

 

 

When I start playing MtG again, hopefully soon, I will consider these for protection.

Revising Standard Post Dark Ascension the Success of Zombies

 Magic The Gathering, Wizards of the Coast  Comments Off on Revising Standard Post Dark Ascension the Success of Zombies

I’ve been to two GP’s, and I spent a week in bed rest since my last Revising Standard article. In that same time two GP’s were in the Standard format and just over the weekend we had a Star City Open. Now, that the dust has settled we can look back at Honolulu and compare the top 8 deck lists.

Grand Prix Baltimore

 Gaming News, Magic The Gathering  Comments Off on Grand Prix Baltimore
Mar 012012
 

I have finally recovered from Grand Prix Baltimore and I am ready to give you my report.

Here is the official coverage from WotC

 

There were about 1550 players in the main event.

My favorite question from a player during the event was ” Judge, my opponent played Praetor’s Grasp.  Who’s graveyard does it go in?”  It is nice to know I am not the only one who gets ahead of himself, or says what he hears instead of saying what I hear.   What the player wanted to say is “My opponent exiled a card from my library with Praetor’s Grasp and then played it.  Who’s graveyard does it go in?”   there is only one answer, the owners graveyard.

 

The toughest question I came across involved having two Heartless summonings in play (controlled by the same player) who then plays Solemn Simulacrum.

Solemn enters the battlefield and puts the search trigger on the stack.

State based effects check making Solemns p/t  0/0.

Solemn is put in the graveyard.

Solemns draw trigger is added to the stack.

In what order do the triggers resolve?

 

Other highlights of the event were the artists.   I did manage tou have one sit down meal.  I can’t remember the name of the restaurant.  I doubt I will forget the salmon any time soon.  It was pretty good food.   I was feeling a little under the weather and we were run pretty ragged at this event because the demand on judges to answer questions was higher than normal.  At least I think so.  That might mean that Planeswalker points are bringing more players out to the larger events.  If that is true it is a good thing.

Sorry this is short, but I don’t want to bore you with every ruling we had to make.  Look at the bright side it is an easy read.
