There's NO reason trades should be crashing for two weeks simply because you attempt to add a card that has a population of zero... especially when a basic function such as "select all" is missing.

Its an online system like magic online except that it automatically gives access to all cards and its free. The benefit to this program is that people can better test decks online before buying cards. you could also host tournaments on the magic version where winners could receive packs of cards in the mail.

In actuality, you are a realist, but no one wants to hear criticisms of their creations, especially from outside of their department.

Paul did not articulate precisely what his trading issue was in the tweets, he simply complained that it took him ten minutes to figure out how to make something tradable and so uninstalled MTGO. The author of that reply I highly doubt was suggesting that Paul should've assumed that a Forest would be filtered as Green, he was replying to Paul's statement that 10 minutes of figuring out how to make something tradeable caused him to uninstall the entire program.<br /><br />MTGO certainly has problems, but the arrogance and attitude that certain personalities exude is insane.StumpyRaccoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16630438143755068217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-235663687017051886.post-35096749434675647822014-09-10T09:52:27.497-07:002014-09-10T09:52:27.497-07:00That's not a photo reproduction of my best gue...That's not a photo reproduction of my best guess of the tweet, it's the actual tweet, embedded using a link (you idiot).
