Nice read. I'm actually gonna put this back together again online. I deleted the list for some reason and just forgot about it. But you do have a point. It seems like a good deck to play right now.
And you didn't see me react when I found out later that you were only running 1 copy of Leyline of the Void, yet you managed to have it first hand against me 2 games out of 3. :P
Ah I suppose I should include some sort of "how to" with it.
Basically html requires tags to do anything. In this case the css needs <style> open and close tags </style> on either side of the "rules".
so for example
<style>
Body {color:#000000}
.deckList {text-align:center;}
... more stuff below
</style>
which I place at the very top of the article in the source view.
The HTML generated from the deck generator then goes below somewhere. (Wherever you want the deck list to appear in the article.) And then you can adjust the text inside the deck lists after you see how it looks, via the normal Rich Text view.
Wizards finally corrected the classic color indicators of ME Dual Lands. But it seems, in the process they broke the backgroud color indicators of Artifacts & Lands from M15, KtK and C14 sets.
I should have tutored for it G1 versus you, but I made the wrong call there. Having maindeck reactive answers coupled with the vintage tutor package seemed a good way to go especially considering the lack of sideboards.
I can access my account details, my planeswalker points, tournament history etc. I am totally locked out of forums. When I try and view forums without logging in it redirects to a login page and keeps on redrawing that page until I'm forced to kill the browser. I was mad for a day. I am mad that all I get from customer support for a week is an automated email. Euro customers don't apparently rate a phone support line. Now I'm past caring, I didn't really feel valued by wotc much on the forums since twitter seems to be the new spiritual home of mtgo community anyway. My down on wotc has made me decide not to buy into commander 14 for the time being.
I doubt that is the exciting vintage announcement because it simply is not exciting at all and they have returned drafts formats all the time, there is nothing special in this.
I am not in the least bit surprised. I saw a few Wizards high ups attempting damage control on Facebook in response to people posting problems there, trying to help as best they were able. But yeah. Wizards + computer program = core incompetency.
"Vintage Changes: Wizards has noted that Vintage events are not firing, and that players are unhappy to be waiting for events only to have them fail. The immediate response is that Wizards will limit Vintage to six events, at 11:30am and 6:30pm, Pacific time, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. However, Wizards has also promised “an exciting Vintage announcement coming soon.” No further details, but I talk about Vintage and saving formats in the opinion section, below."
Can anyone confirm if in the past week we already had this in effect? Because I think it was already restricted to weekend events but there were 3 events each day. For me it was 7.30PM, 10.30PM and 2.30AM. I could play the first two but not the third one. Now this week there's only the first and the third one meaning for Europeans we can only realistically play the first one. The first one didn't fire today so without the second I simply won't be able to play. This is worse than I thought and I hope they give us back the other one.
Snafu....ugly but true. Sorry you got tangled in that Pete. I think I managed to avoid that mess by not merging. But I am not one to swear that that is the case. My DCI number still gives valid data so that's something.
Will WOTC fix this eventually? Probably. But the damage done is considerable and probably irreversible. :/
I got to keep the same forum account and its associated history. But I have a new DCI#. Lots of back and forth with customer support (and a very long phone call) and the problem still hasn't been resolved. I'm going to give up on merging, I don't want to risk losing my ~20 year old DCI# nor my 12 year old forum account.
Don't worry about the sarcasm and hyperbole, it's hard to countain ourselves sometimes and you have done it well in the past. There are certain things that really get to us and we are paying costumers, we deserve to be well treated.
The changeling bug is now officially 'Known issue, no ETA on a fix.'

They all look like bleached...
Does that make those of us who don't tweet much spiritually homeless?
All joking aside that sounds quite aggravating. I hope they redress this soon.
I was amused!
At this point, it seems to me that the thing with them is:
Wizards + designing Magic cards/sets = very, very good
Wizards + doing anything else at all in the human society = appalling incompetency
They should maybe consider moving MaRo to run the other departments for a couple years.

% 100 agree. I was expecting to see something like; Vintage leagues and following Vintage Super league...
AJ, Null Rod was a good call to include for Vintage.
What a major let down...

Here, it is confirmed at twitter by Alison (Magic Online account) that the exciting vintage announcement is the return of VMA drafts.
The very first game of MtG that I played against was a powered chains deck. Once I wrapped my head around that card, I was hooked on the game.

The exciting Vintage announcement is return of VMA drafts for 3 weeks (between November 19 to December 10)
I think this is the last thing we need right now. Market is already flooded with VMA cards and their value holds no stability.
Waited all week to see SMAWatts respond to that Null Rod. Was not disappointed.
