TOURNEYS

I would love to be able to join the release queue sealed deck tournaments with packs instead of tickets only. You offer them for booster drafts, so I can't think of any reason why sealed deck tournaments would force us to use tickets instead.

BUDDY LIST

An amazing feature would be the ability to instantly view the games of your buddies. A right click-option of 'View Current Game' or something like that, would be really nice instead of forcing us to manually find the games and then watch.


Thanks for listening!!

We would all like to enter release queues with packs that we have won from previous events. This is purely a business decision to get more money.

One rather nice side effect is that it produces an oversupply of packs once the drafts for the new set begin, meaning that you can trade for the boosters for significantly cheaper than buying them straight from the store.

I'm sorry, I thought the point of this thread was to post our wish lists. Are we supposed to criticize other people's wishes too and try to downplay them? Your post doesn't seem very useful to me and I think it's just cluttering up this thread. According to the OP, we are supposed to post our wish lists, not reply to everybody and post our opinions of THEIR wish lists. Maybe I'm confused. You seem to be the only one who is doing it so maybe you should take a hint and post your wish list and be done with the thread.

Nobody wants a response from a random internet person hearing THEIR theory for why Wizards does what they do. Again, maybe I'm confused and we are supposed to be quoting and replying to everybody's suggestions telling them how stupid they are or that WE ALL WANT THAT DUH ITS JUST WIZARDS BEING GREEDY.

I apologize for making this post and thus cluttering up the forums even more.

SMARTER LAND STACKING

I never noticed until I started playing a deck with multiple copies of low activation cost man-lands that if you do you're basically forced to change your game play settings to spread out all your lands into a disorganized mess instead of grouping together by card name or else play a guessing game any time you need to play another of that land to have enough mana to activate the original copy.  This is super annoying because if your guess is unlucky, MODO will activate the summoning sick copy instead of the one you want to attack with.   Why not make it always put the new land on top like most players who organize their lands do in paper magic?  Or at least make it very obvious which permanents came into play this turn (not just creatures) or something that becomes obvious if you mouse over it or right click on it or something. It's completely non-intuitive to activate the middle copy of 3 Blinkmoth Nexuses and not be able to attack with it because of the whims of the software.  What would be even nicer is an option players can turn on that lets them move their lands around for convenience or as a mnemonic device.

STOP PUNISHING LAG

If it takes you 2 seconds to click the spell you want to cast, click your target, and click the land you want to tap but the whole process takes 20 seconds because the lag is so bad you can watch your land slowly turn sideways, that shouldn't take 20 seconds off your clock, it should take 2.  That's a chess clock, it's supposed to encourage players to make decisions quickly, not to spend their Magic budget on a top-of-the-line gaming computer and the fastest broadband connection their local market offers, especially since a lot of the time that won't even help.  Game 3 of a control mirror shouldn't come down to one player being connected to a bad server and rushing their plays or being timed out while their opponents gets to relax.  When a player is kicked out of the client due to an "unexpected error" or there's a loss of connection, as soon as the affected player has priority or if they already have it, a new reconnection countdown should begin, say 5 or 10 min. If they reconnect in that period, the missing time should be credited back as soon as they're back in the game.  That could be rescinded by an admin/ORC if it's apparent the player is faking the problems as an act of unsporting conduct.

STOP ASKING IRRELEVANT QUESTIONS (AND MAYBE ASK SOME MORE OF THE RELEVANT ONES)

Here's an oddity that gets even more annoying when you are the victim of lag: You're tapped out, you have no blockers, you've already f6ed through your opponent's turn, now more precious seconds ebb away because MODO is asking you to declare blockers. What?!  And yet, not a word of warning when your Grim Lavamancer kills itself because it took so long for MODO to respond when you click it the first time, you clicked it again assuming you misclicked the first time...

RECONNECT BUTTON

If the only valid way to check if you are still connected is to reconnect, please make it easier by adding a Reconnect Button (or Menu Option or the like). Killing the app, restarting it, and logging in takes quite a while - which can be especially painful if you're in the middle of a draft.

Thanks for considering this.
