I forgot that Weaver had Reach but it wouldn't have done much, and when I tried to play Ruthless Disposal on my own Weaver and the Masterpiece (he had nothing else on board),then sac the Weaver, to buy two turns (reanimation, then he can punch me), he doesn't believe me that the spell still resolves with only 1 target, we call the judge, I explain it, he and another player discuss and reach the same conclusion that it doesn't resolve.
Obligatory: Alaric find a new store.
Seriously, having a judge who doesn't understand very basic rules is pretty stupid.
I don't know if the guy's a judge (there's one, but he wasn't here today, dunno about the others), and as I mentioned at that point it wouldn't have saved me, so I'd rather be gracious than force them to go check gatherer or something. I assume they read the text in a way that made it fizzle if it was lacking a target. I'll make sure to tell them next week though (not the first time they're wrong on something I knew about).
Well... to be frank I'd probably have made them check it out if it was the finals and I had a fighting chance or something. I wasn't salty yet at that point and if I was I'd just be too jaded to contest anyway, I think.
Think I'll try to cram a couple drafts on xmage before thursday because the UR spells is sweet (and it looks like some kind of BR could work too with all the removal, screw trying to draft vampires though, although with the crap people pulled tonight it's prob possible in another christmas land) and I need to get some experience to get rid of my want/crutch to go for it.
I dunno how much you guys have played yet, but what are your impressions on Bloodbriar? On one hand it didn't strike me as exceptional, and I'll readily admit that it works better than Pyre Hound (its stats match its cost, and the first counter to make it good isn't that hard to get), on the other whenever I saw it it destroyed me... riding unrealistic odds (GW emerge with Lunarch Mantle out to sac the insect tokens, tonight's UG-that-is-both-emerge-and-investigate-without-sacrificing-anything-no-pun-intended). So I don't really have a picture of how it actually performs on average. I assume it isn't a GB card as it'd seem but more GW delirium/eldrazi and UG emerge.

Spells that target don't fizzle unless they have no targets. This means that spells with multiple targets still resolve if one target is no longer valid.

Very below-rate. The sacrifice would be more relevant if this were SoI x3 because of clues but there's just not enough times where its relevant for this to be good.
I'm not going to try to write much. There are a lot of emotions I've felt the last week and a half. I'm sad, I'm angry, I'm scared. And yet the ball keeps rolling.
I know there are several people on here who will happily lend me their ears as long as I want it. And I really do appreciate it, but right now I don't feel like talking about it at all. I'm just getting back to my apartment now and trying to generally stabilize.
It's only loosely related, but I've learnt a year or so ago that my paternal granddad's cancer was from alcoholism. As far as I can remember in my life it's only been mentioned that he died from cancer, which I found pretty young what with my father being younger than you at the time. When my cousin told me she mentioned it's been kind of a taboo.
I don't think I can sympathise because I've never lost somebody so close to me, sometimes when I count my mother's years and see how much she's smoking with no intentions of stopping it makes me scared that she may not be around for as long as one'd expect.

It's got less punch that the original, that surprised me since most metal covers I've heard tend to make the base material faster and louder. Doesn't suit the lyrics too much, I felt like.
