M11 Survey - too bad it;s horribly biased against MTGO players... Magic 2011 Survey! Also, it appears to not like Chrome. At all.
MTGO Pre-release events:
The typical pre-release payout is back for M11 and it's anyone's guess to how much money WotC will make on this one! M11 has been very well received in the paper world and I suspect we'll see a lot of players getting in on the pre-release action again!
Prices:
Eventide based lands are springing up and are passing their rav-block counter parts! Cards like Flooded Grove vs. Breeding Pool and Cascade Bluffs vs. Steam Vents are showing the new catching up and overtaking the old! Also, Baneslayer Angel has been creepy creep creeping ever lower as the next influx of copies looms nearer and nearer.
Whatcha been playing?
AJ: Specters, Angels, Gargoyles. M11 Beta shenanigans.
Erik: Neo-RDW, M11 league, Arch-frenemy

Is it too much to ask to have a survey be Firefox-compatible these days? I spent about 15 minutes participating in the survey, and then got to the section where they load all of the M11 cards and ask you to pic a few of your favorites. I could not interact with this page at all. I'm not going back through this with IE or whatever.
Same thing happened to me when I tried to take it this morning. It pissed me off because I spent about 10 minutes doing it up until that point and like you, am not going to go back and start the whole thing over again.
The only comment I have an issue with was "the multiplayer people have been waiting a long time and needed these changes", which is a real slap in the face to us leaguers. Multiplayer exists. Leagues do not. We are the most screwed and have been forever. Swept under the rug yet again, and I'm sticking with my prediction that we will NEVER see leagues at this rate, they'll always think something else is more important. I'm just about done.
if you're sole reason to play mtgo is leagues then yeah...get patient
It's not the only reason I play, but the way that WotC leans towards ignoring a sector of the community completely to take care of another sector of the community that has a format in place (albeit flawed) doesn't speak well for them. I do like Pauper, but really only casually, since I'm not fond of the tournament scene. The tournament scene in paper is one of the main reasons I got out of paper. Now the online community has loaded up with too many type A tournament players, so much so that even now I get a non-tourney deck casual game after about an hour of playing. Any format that gets me away from that kind of thing (such as leagues) is always tops in my books.
If you really want to play in a league there is a player run event that is in it's first season at the moment.
If there is to be a second season I need as many willing players as possible to kick it off.
The Coalition League
Looked it over, neat idea. Unfortunately, school's about ready to start up again and I'm going to find little time to get games in. I'll keep it in mind though, sounds like a great idea.
