I know Majors personally, he's from my old Magic circle. Pretty sure Heylel knows him too. Good dude.

I'd be shocked they'd repeat the same variant of "permanence" even if they decide they're still "permanent" this time. Might very well not end up having the "Timetwister on GY" effect.Going to be sad times in the Kingdom when BFZ has an Eldrazi Titan with the graveyard trigger. Rare that they print such a good mill card, so run with it while folks can
New one already spoiled plays with the Exiled zone - I'd almost think that if there's any type of "permanence" effect for the named ones this time it'll be along the lines of that Blue griffon. Misthollow Griffon or whatever...

The graveyard trigger was also meant to get around cheaply-reanimating Eldrazi. They don't make instant-speed reanimation much anymore for a reason. Unfortunately, Modern just happened to form a year later with the best instant-speed reanimation baked-in.
Also, much love for the Griffin, fun synergy with the UW Utility Land from Innistrad Block. "MY THREAT NEVER GOES AWAAAY"

Yea, I'd not be shocked to see if they're still afraid of reanimation doing something like "If CARDNAME would be put into a graveyard from anywhere, reveal CARDNAME and exile it instead. While exiled you may cast CARDNAME." - with the tightened phrasing (instead of trigger) it would remove the ability for even instant reanimation to work. [As I learned the hard way doing Cube on MTGO - love doing reanimator - but while Eldrazi work with instant reanim as long as you do proper timing, Darksteel Colossus and Progenitus don't]The graveyard trigger was also meant to get around cheaply-reanimating Eldrazi.

I don't know him well, but we've met at events. Yeah he's a nice fellow. It's always nice to see a local take down a big tournament.
So I went to San Diego and played that mono red hotness. It started out with a bye as my first round enemy failed to show his coward face. I went into round 9 at 6-2 and needing just one win to make day 2. I failed slay my enemy. Profound sadness. However, it was super fun. Only my second GP and I was honestly surprised I even did so well. I just started playing again a month ago and before that I only played for about 1-1.5 yrs. Shit is addicting yo. Already planning to travel to a few more GP's and I am playing PPTQ and other events every weekend to get byes for points.
So I'm getting back into MTGO, the client seems better than it was a few years ago. I'm wondering how I should get back in. Pauper tournaments to fund other things? In paper magic, I easily go infinite, on mtgo online I'm still doing fine but my biggest enemy is the clock since I haven't mastered the shortcuts.
My preferred formats would be vintage/legacy. But I could play any format really, I want it to fire decently. The problem I see for going infinite, is it's unlikely I'll ever be able to play on a weekend due to my work schedule. So I basically miss out on any big events, which is a bummer since, this is really what I lived for, GPs, SCGs, etc.

So, I just spent 60 bucks or so buying UW heroic on MTGO. I have almost zero experience playing on there so I hope its worth it. Spent the same amount as I would if I bought a brand new PC/Console game.
