Friday Nights - Politics

[korvys]

Well your opponent thinking you're a dick, I can't help.

But I am a judge, and I can tell you the reason I became a judge, is because I'm a know-it-all who likes to show off.
So really, I love answering questions. At FNM the other night, the judge running it was complaining how boring it was with no judge calls.

[Duckay]

I guess to be fair, if my opponent thinks I'm a dick for calling a judge, he probably already thinks I'm a dick for the dispute.

[seanmwebb]

I'm relatively new to magic, so I sort of get how Cam is being annoying by Countertopping, but why would Graham have that much time to leave? It shouldn't take that long to find a card with the same CMC if it's there.

Unless Cam was somehow going infinite in his card rearranging...

[Graham]

It's a joke?

Mostly just about how Top makes every game go super long.

[seanmwebb]

Gotcha, sorry.

[Graham]

No apology needed!

[asteriskreaper]

No apology needed!

you should totally have an actual game of EDH for a video/podcast. that would be amazing. specially since your always with cameras

[ElFuzzy]

They've talked about the possibility of streaming paper magic but I don't know if they ever managed to get a good setup. At the very least you can see Graham playing a game of Commander here.

[Graham]

We do hope to get a table for steaming paper magic, but it might not be there off the bat.

[ElFuzzy]

You guys should set it up like the poker tournaments so we can see everyone's hand and have 2 whispering commentators sitting off in another room. Kinda like the early Friday Nights vid.

[Lord Hosk]

That could be tough, they are JUST getting to that level with the pro tour by having someone look over their shoulder and note which cards they have, but a lot of times you will see like "swamp swamp Bump in the night (?) (?).

While I am supremely confident in LRR, its asking a lot for them to do something that the pro tour still struggles with.

[Lord Chrusher]

Texas Hold'um only has two cards in hand, cards which are symmetric and much easier to identify than MtG cards.

[ElFuzzy]

So just employ some ninjas

[iamafish]

Or ask Jer if he'd be willing to do it.

old reference is old.

[JackSlack]

I know this is thread necromancy, but can someone explains to me what happens at 7:12? Jer casts something and everyone gasps, but do we know what he cast and why Kathleen's essence scatter wasn't useful?

[steric hindrance]

He cast Karn Liberated, which is not a creature (which Essence Scatter counters) but a powerful planeswalker, which Jer later ultimates to restart the game.

[JackSlack]

RIGHT. I thought he said, "Draw, and card." Not card. Karn. Right.
