Having a hard time reading the feature match recaps because some of the pictures are covering large blocks of text. If someone could fix that, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

If you guys are running IE8 take it out of "Compatability View".  If you're running IE7 or earlier, get a real browser.  (I recommend Opera.)


If you want a quicker but clumsier answer, Go to Tools->Internet Options->Advanced.  Scroll down to where it says "Show Pictures" and uncheck that.  Then you'll be viewing pages with no images loaded.

Free MTGO Tournaments you should be playing:
Pauper (all commons) - Tuesday Nights, prizes by MTGOTraders
Peasant (Pauper + 5 uncommons, with paper rarity) - Sunday Nights, prizes by MTGOTraders
Silverblack (Modern-era Commons and Uncommons - Most Wednesday nights, prizes by MTGO Bazaar
Heirloom ("Cheap" cards only, e.g. rares under 20 cents) - Sunday afternoons, sponsored by MTGOTraders
Check the superbly-made Gatherling site for more.

Other games you should try:
Spectromancer - Online card game by Richard Garfield, available cheap on Steam.
DC Universe Online - action-based MMO.  Free to play.  Surprised me how well designed it is.
Simunomics - Free-to-play economy simulation game.

Extended didn't rotate, it was gutted.

I have liked the Punishing Fire + Grove of the Burnwillows combo since Kibler used it in his Zoo deck. It does keep the battlefield clean!

Interested to see if any Pyromancer Ascention decks get into the top 8 or if Ad Nauseum is just better.

Hope Conley Woods makes a good showing this PT.

On the draft viewer, is there a reason you don't show the deck that each of the pros built?

Indeed. Let's just hope they actually get the result they are looking for with this move.

The good news is they have the Pro Tour thread where everyone can actually find it again. Hopefully we'll see some good participation now that it is not in a secret location.  I'll be able to catch some of the first round due to my current night-owl shift. Used to be lucky to get up in time to see the end.

2 of my favorite Magic players are Undefeated Conley and Brad. Can Brad Nelson run ANY better? Jesus
