new players picking up a deck: please do NOT go to a deck's discord. The noise:signal ratio is always bad and you'll get directionally awful advice. the best thing you can do is pick up a list+sb guide from someone you respect and practice with those configs before making changes

this is one of the things you notice quickly playing poker in any capacity and coming to magic in poker, better players know how to interface with table-talkers in magic, skill level feels like it has no correlation with ability to deal with overt mind games from your opp

What if every RCQ accepted decklists digitally? 👀 ..well now it's possible! Stores can now accept registrations through spicerack and collect payment + decklists Decklists can be moxfields links/plaintext, and will validate in real time Demo + link to access below 🧵🧂

what would you want in an mtg """social network"""? ideas that jump to mind: - see results in real time easily of friends at events - pwalker points or some real time elo - easily track what deck i played + record at a locals - who is attending x event? who needs a ride?

if you play foils (like me) at comp real events, it’s extremely important your deck is uniform so cards aren’t marked. tbh this deck (from recent rcq deck post) is unacceptable mixing foils and nonfoils single sleeved with some flat and some curved cards is ridiculous

I didn't play during the SCG-IQ era, but an interesting dichotomy that I've heard from covos with players is that the IQ top-8 pins were held to a different esteem than RCQ top-8 pins. roughly put: IQ = cool/prideful, RCQ = cringe 1) is this true? 2) if so what is the cause?
