Modern play, Gone?!

Wizard of the coast has made an announcement a while back concerning modern play at the pro tour events.  They decided to do away with the format, why? Here’s just some of the reason why they are getting rid of the format.

Wizards of the Coast made an announcement a while back concerning modern play at the pro tour events;  they decided to do away with the format. Why? Here’s just some of the reasons why they are getting rid of the format.

Wizards of the Coast's goal for the pro tour is to reward the players for their drafting skills, innovative deck building and skillful game-play in an environment they are not too familiar with. They also want to highlight the newest card set in the tournament, which seems like the biggest reason why they’re getting rid of modern. Wizards usually set the pro tour for modern just a few weeks after the new set comes out, which allows the players to showcase the new cards in their modern decks by showing how the new cards work in a premier level setting.

Since modern became a format back in 2011, Wizards of the Coast has questioned if the format is a good fit for a pro tour setting. Even top players have pointed out that the format isn't about being innovative or solving problems with the newest set; it gives rewards for repetitive, established decks. That wasn't what the pro tour was suppose to be about.

As always thanks for reading my blog.

REPRINT IN QUESTION

Question comes to a lot of player’s mind of why cards get reprinted and why cards don’t get reprinted. I think it’s often asked but I never really hear anyone asked. My it’s my own personal question I seek out to have answered, so I researched on it and it didn’t take long for me to find my answer, apparently it has been asked a lot by other players.

The game of magic the gathering has a tremendous appeal to both collectors and gamers. With the game being both enjoyable and skillful, it kind of feels like the cards deserves to be reprinted for more enjoyable game play. Not to mention newer players can get a chance to play with cards they never have the chance to play with yet.

There are a lot of cards I’d love to have reprinted but they probably won’t be. There’s actually a reserve list of cards that won’t get reprinted, and most of the cards that is not on the list may (using that word loosely) be reprinted. I’m sure there are players out there that to have “cards to (need) be reprinted” list. But wizard will only reprint cards if there’s functionality to them, like if they printed a new card that works similar to older cards, then there’s no need to be reprinted.

What cards would you like to see be reprinted?

COMICS OF MAGIC

COMICS OF MAGIC

            The comic above is from cardboard-crack.com.  The comic strips on their webpage are about one of the most addictive game on tabletop, Magic the Gathering. I chose this particular comic strip only because I feel very relatable to it. Most of their comic strips are funny, real, and relatable in some way shape or form. This one is one of their not so funny ones but it’s still good because you can relate to it in so many ways. I’m sure a lot of people also feel the same way from this particular comic strip.

            Sometimes in life you may feel bullied, let down, get your feelings hurt by other people. Most people would go and pop pills or commit suicide (depending on how much of their life they were given crap) or runaway. Sometimes you would be better off forgetting about all the bad things that were happening to you and do what you do best, play magic the gathering (providing if you do play the game at all). A good compliment is the best feeling to receive. Sometimes all it takes is one simple compliment to make your day worth it.

            Sure I don’t get called a genius at magic games I’ve played, but someone saying “hey, that deck is pretty good” is good enough for me. I’ve been told I do a lot of wrong things at jobs, my personal life, and everyone pretty experience it on the road with other drivers (even if you didn’t do anything wrong). Simple thing to do is to not let it get you down. If you are feeling down from everyday life, put your magic decks to work and show it who the boss is.

          I would like to thanks cardboard-crack.com for letting me use this comic strip for my blog and as promised I will put their links up for their webpages. They do amazing work with the comic strips and obviously a big magic the gathering fan.

What’s your favorite cardboard-crack comic strip?
