It's something that catches a newbie's eye, and that's what Celebrations is all about anyway. The people that would wear it outside of the store are people who would be doing something else just a silly otherwise, but at least locally, as soon as the first person noticed me wearing the horns, it generated a lot of buzz, and everyone wanted to try them on and when they found out that the winner got a pair, people really did play with a little more energy. For a pretty small investment, I have no doubt that WotC will get a lot of return in the form of newer players sticking around a little longer because they now see the game as having a more silly, but still fun aspect to it.

Show and Tell / Omniscience has been doing very well overall.

The Rector version, specifically, has had some top 32 appearances, and one top 8.

Are you asking if someone on MOTL plays Infect in Standard? Or are you asking if Infect is played by anyone in Standard?

I'm not playing it, but it's certainly being played by some people these days.

I started drafting on MTGO today with only 1 ticket to spare after I entered the draft. After a long day of drafting, I have 25 tix and 24 m13 packs. Might just call it done for this format and end on a good note.

Good humor on MOTL.

Today's sarcasm forcast looks to be at about a "10"

Seriously, you guys are funny and very witty =)

I always love reading random posts on here, it really does make me laugh quite often =)

Just thought I'd share that.

EDIT: The artwork for Vampiric Tutor really sucks! Just imagine if there was one with great artwork...

It's funny how a really powerful card will sometimes have the crappiest artwork!

Do any of you guys ever feel mildly ashamed to be playing certain cards because their artwork is so wack, in whatever way?

What's the weight of a box?

In the US, I'd say cheapest is usually going to be parcel post. Although sometimes priority can be almost the same and the faster delivery is usually worth it.
