Tough Magic Opponent

[Reijin]

I was told it was the first turn and this person already has two mountains in play.

Sadly... I've encountered this situation before. Its lame for people to try to take advantage of you like this and cause you to lose through lack of concentration XO I've actually played in team games where a guy deliberately had his gf dress like this and had her keep stretching just to keep his opponents off guard.

I wouldn't mind.

[Reijin]

Want to know the worst part? This is a true story.

The FIRST thing I noticed... I looked at the cards in the guy's hands, which I know to be Starstorm (x2) and a Wrath of God, as well as a few other cards that are mostly covered. I realized that he's playing Astral Slide as his deck, and saw the mountains and one forest on her side, and realized she's playing Goblins splashing green, for Onslaught block Type II.

I thought by "tough opponent" it was about what a bad matchup Goblins used to have against Slide. THEN dork mode ran out and I realized.

It does seem a little low. Do these tournaments have massive cash prizes or something? I always thought the fact that you had to invest lots of money to get the rarer cards was the 'cheapest' (ironic choice of words) thing about Magic, meaning that those rich folk always come out on top. >_>

I really wish I understood what that meant. =(

When I was in elementary school I would play pokemon cards with my balls out to distact the other players.

...and by 'in elementary school' I meant last week I was physically in one.

[Super Buu]

Yamu = God. XD

So that was you?! O_O Damn Yamu, you need to shave those things. >_<

You're all probably curious as to what I was doing in that very same elementary school. Lets just say they make them better then they used to. <_< >_>

[Toshiro]

I'm gonna attempt to learn this card game now at last >.>

[Burter]

It doesn't even look like she's deliberately trying to take advantage of him. The picture is totally out of context. While there is a lot of cleavage, it's not anymore revealing when you'd see just walking in public

[Kirano]

It's such an obvious game plan, which I'd never fall into. I'm suprised it still proves affective. Then again, guys will be guys.

[King Cold444]

I wouldn't fall for it. If it did distract me I'd kindly ask her to cover them boobies up. But I do wish I knew what Rei was talking about otherwise.

I cannot find a razor stong enough to make it through the untamed jungle that is my package.

Agreed. I personally don`t find it that disturbing. Disturbing as in that it would ruin my concentration on the duel.

If she knows she's affecting you, it would give her more course to distract you. The best thing is to try your darn hardest not to make any eye contact to her racks. Concentrating on your cards = maintaning focus.

[Burter]

Maybe it's just because my nerd level isn't that low, but I really don't think she came to the duel and said "i'll show boobies to win"

It's one still-shot picture of a girl with cleavage. Those YTMNG clips are deliberately made to be seen out of context

[Reijin]

Reb's right. She just got dressed and showed up to play. Its just making light of how its sometimes hard to focus when you replace what is normally some overweight smelly kid in a two month old t-shirt with that.

Its not "whoever owns the more expensive cards wins" in Magic, although yes, you do need certain expensive cards to be competitive. There are many times when extremely cheaper decks just seem to massively jerk around what used to be the "big deck" of the time.

[Dehan]

I think she just dressed like she usally does just to be like 'i'll show anyone who thinks chicks that play Magic are all pimpley faced, 500 pounds and have stringy greasy hair that they're wrong.'.

Or...she could just be an exhibitionist. She does make me want to buy some magic cards.

It's also not any less visually appealing or gawk-inspiring than it would be just walking out in public.
