Pro Tour Top 8 live now! (link inside) by Jahikoiin magicTCG

[–]Oldmanzag 5 points6 points ago

Wow Jon just showed such amazing class with that messup on the sideboard. Same for Haynes for calling himself on the card mixup.

I want them both to win :-/

Day 2 of Pro Tour Avacyn Restored is live! by trickjarrettin magicTCG

[–]Oldmanzag 1 point2 points ago

Definitely a super nice guy and a refreshing voice from some of the more analytical, number-based commentation.

Found some interesting reviews about a House Frey t-shirt in HBO's giftstore... (Probable ASOS spoilers) by sillettain gameofthrones

[–]Oldmanzag 3 points4 points ago

Author of the second post in the img here. The shirts still in great shape; my only complaint is I'll probably need to do some stitching around the collar at some point.

More of this. Less of animals being brutalized or brutalizing humans.

All I kept thinking was "Reddit Saved Us" Thank You. by theneonwindin magicTCG

[–]Oldmanzag 20 points21 points ago

Great story, I recall the original post. You should totally give a link to it or a store site for those who didn't catch the original and can know where to find you ;).

I made an alter for my podcast co-host Jon Loucks :) by Marshall_LRin magicTCG

I was almost expecting the structure to be turned into a windmill, but that is some fantastic art-work. great job.

HBO Decides It Still Isn't Difficult Enough To Watch HBO Shows by DrJulianBashirin technology

[–]Oldmanzag 0 points1 point ago

Not going to happen. At least, not anytime soon. It's the same reason you don't see any tv company offering you to pick each channel you want individually. Most people would only want 15-25 channels, which would inflate the personal price for those channels wildly. And those channels you hate? They belong or are partnered in some way to the channels you like - it's great in their interest to bundle them with channels you like.

It's a messy system and I'm not trying to justify it, the customer is definitely at the mercy of the insane contracts tv companies have to deal with from programmers themselves. What I can say is a few TV companies are making strives towards internet based content and easier access - but there's still a ton of legal tape and the programmers themselves are indeed scared shitless of piracy just as much as you think they are.

Who has ACTUALLY bought this shirt? by argossin gameofthrones

[–]Oldmanzag 4 points5 points ago

ahem Close enough?

From my post awhile back. And yes, it is a shirt that gets better over time...

How Blizzard could have 1000's of more viewers for tournaments in 5 minutes by MoOsEsc2in starcraft

[–]Oldmanzag 12 points13 points ago

You do realize such feats would require Blizzard to take currently staffed positions and put them to work for minutes?

minutes!

What are you sad to see rotate out? by hillbillypaladinin magicTCG

[–]Oldmanzag 38 points39 points ago

Birthing Pod. I love deck's that really utilize my full arsenal and make me think on each pick.

Also, Viridian Emmisary for being my second favorite "come at me bro" card, and Solemn Simulacrum for being number one "come at me bro", and best name to say drunk.

What podcasts/vids am I missing out on? by tellerfanin magicTCG

[–]Oldmanzag 0 points1 point ago

This guy literally listed the exact 3 I listen to, and only those 3. Limited Resources is amazing and his videos on mtgoacademy are useful beyond imagining for drafters.

I pretty much watched all his before giving MTGO drafts a shot, and haven't gone less than 2-1 in swiss in awhile. Definitely worth the time if you play limited.

Official: 'Game of Thrones' renewed for 3rd season by DukeofSquirrelin gameofthrones

[–]Oldmanzag 0 points1 point ago

So basically this reads "Game of Thrones" renewed for fourth season.

No way you do half of book 3 and the nation doesn't clamor for the other half. Or George R.R Martins head....

Robbery of Lotus Guardian Store (Large Card Collection) by CraftyGamingin magicTCG

[–]Oldmanzag 1 point2 points ago

I play with friends and friends only these days between my apartment and my pal a few doors down. Still, this kind of stuff is worrisome. I've been considering MTGO for a long while now, and the idea of not physically owning cards is not seeming as horrible when I hear stories like this.

My thoughts on Lori being upset about Shane situation. by RyValin thewalkingdead

[–]Oldmanzag 1 point2 points ago

"HOW DARE YOU KILL SOMEONE WHO TRIED TO KILL YOU FIRST" is pretty much how I felt on that scene.

Ser Jorah subtly says his own house motto in the episode "A Golden Crown" by chillbrayin gameofthrones

[–]Oldmanzag 1 point2 points ago

Interesting. Considering the motto of his house it also makes a lot more sense the depth of his character, considering he had to leave his home and flee to not face the crime of slavery. Never thought of it like that.

BLIZZARD 2nd time this weekend!!!! by SC_kalelin starcraft

[–]Oldmanzag 0 points1 point ago

I haven't been following the tournament scene too closely, but are any top players discussing this? Seriously, there is no reason why top players should not be including it in their post-win interviews and calling out blizzards need of lan, even in games that nothing happened.

I would love to see how long they would continue to ignore the problem if every single major tournament mentions the lack of LAN from players.

TIL a man designed a roller coaster that would kill its passengers. by unending_grimnessin todayilearned

[–]Oldmanzag 1 point2 points ago

Did anyone else consider the lucrative possibility of setting up the "splash camera" on the major drop for family members to purchase to see their loved ones big scream face?

I am so glad hell probably doesn't exist...

No wonder this guy is the head of Nintendo. by WimzicalStrangerin funny

[–]Oldmanzag 5 points6 points ago

That's fine, that quote pretty much makes him the Executive of Reddit.

Only True Dictatorship in America by FirstToAdmitItin occupywallstreet

[–]Oldmanzag 7 points8 points ago

It's a great quote, but you've completely taken it out of context with that image what the actually quotes about and what Jimmy is saying. If anything The Wire just portrays the average street cop as having little say, and the whole directives as "shit rolling downhill".

Highly recommend actually watching The Wire and then see how you feel about that quote in the context of the episode.

Does Anyone Else Think The Official PT Stream is Awesome? by fumarin magicTCG

[–]Oldmanzag 0 points1 point ago

Yeah! Loving it. Took the day off to track Kim-Jong Un being dead/not dead, and it's since become a MTG streaming day. Definitely pizza order worthy. LOVE the high quality setting. Not to mention the commentating and even in the downtime, good footage.

Iran has pushed the Kill Switch and eliminated internet access to millions of its Citizens by [deleted]in technology

[–]Oldmanzag 1 point2 points ago

Has anyone else noticed the main revolts all went into super-mode when the internet was cut? It's like saying "Not enough people want to kill me, let me take away pictures of kittens".

So I brought turbo-fog to our multiplayer... by Oldmanzagin magicTCG

[–]Oldmanzag[S] 0 points1 point ago

Hahah much obliged, but picked my set up already, thanks ;).

So I brought turbo-fog to our multiplayer... by Oldmanzagin magicTCG

[–]Oldmanzag[S] 0 points1 point ago

No, I use isochron scepter in my version of the deck. As mentioned in the notes that's not my post, that's the post that inspired me to create a version of the deck in the first place. In multiplayer I find the iso scepter is a really great beacon of hatred - people ignore my hand and the possibility I'm sitting on a ton more fogs while they work on getting rid of those :).

So I brought turbo-fog to our multiplayer... by Oldmanzagin magicTCG

[–]Oldmanzag[S] 1 point2 points ago

I think if you're doing a four person game, it would go really well. The first person who tries to swipe you can be heavily punished and left open to the others on the table. By the time they realized what's going on, you'd have too good an engine / board wipes for them to respond. Past four players in free for all? You're probably dead :).

In my game the focus was entirely on "Dude, get rid of his scepter" and you can't help but smile as you're holding another in hand and 5 fogs. Oh, I also mainboard elixir of immortality to prevent myself from decking in multi. Pretty important. I hope you build it and have fun!

[–]Oldmanzag[S] 3 points4 points ago

Nope, far from it, sorry. A similar decklist has been posted up in edit on the initial post. There was a recent post on newer fog. Here you go . Hope it helps.
