Well you are suppose to shuffle cards around to keep the opponent from reading your hand. Like if an opponent holds a grip of 6 and 3 of those hasn't moved for like 3 or 4 turns, you can generally get an idea of what they are. | ||

On this note, I was blown away when I saw top8 competitors at the PT sorting the lands on one side of their hand in plain sight. I suppose that they felt it doesn't make a difference and maybe it doesn't most of the time, but still, it's one of those bad habits you'd figure they're over. | ||

Many rounds of Magic will do that to you. | ||

You need to have priority and the card should have a yellow outline I believe. If it is specific to torch fiend, I believe you can't activate it without a target, so if there is no artifact on the board, you can't use it. | ||

Many rounds of anything make you tired, sloppy and more like going in default mode. Which is exactly my point, I find it surprising that someone at that level would need to actually concentrate in order to avoid that. But whatever, it's probably not that relevant and inconsequential. | ||

I remember when this kid was literally 10 years old. My case of poker chips are in storage since I just moved but normally during most games I have a stack on my desk to shuffle during down times, old habit from poker Side note: Where is a good place to get sleeves and matching deck boxes, heard a lot of places sell sleeves that are too small for MTG? | ||

Edit: Also, you might want to consider the implications of playing high-powered decks where your friends/people no longer want to play with you. There's fun as in, hey that was a cool play, and then there's fun as in, only for you and your friends probably want to slash your tires on their way home. | ||
