Absolutely zero obligation to donate. Anything given is greatly appreciated and helps allow me to do this!

1. Don't be racist, misogynistic, discriminatory or otherwise ignorant/rude/toxic (even sarcastically!) 2. Please try and be positive/inquisitive rather than negative/impertinent, and maintain an air of rationality rather than emotional investment. The goal should be to have fun, and to learn and grow, not inflate egos. Being right doesn't make you smart/good, just like being wrong doesn't make you dumb/bad. 3. Links are allowed, but don't use a link shortener or you'll likely get axed for assumed spam. 4. Please read the FAQ and the title/screen info before asking something that might be on there. 5. Don't argue with the mods or me about how the channel is modded. Timeouts happen; be like Elsa and Let It Go

Scheduled streams are Monday and Thursday evenings. Beyond that, it's up in the air, so you'll just have to follow me on here and on [twitter](http://twitter.com/ajsacher) to make sure you catch them! I also upload highlights and major events to my [youtube channel](https://www.youtube.com/user/TheAJSacher).

Support the stream and get a subscriber badge in the chat, access to the channel's custom emotes, and my undying gratitude for supporting my channel!

Hi, I'm AJ Sacher (pronounced like "Soccer"). I love Magic: the Gathering. I play, write, stream, make video content, commentate, coach, and more. I also play Hearthstone and Poker. If you want to know more, feel free to ask! Chat interaction is a huge reason why I stream and a large part of what I enjoy as a watcher as well, so fire away!

##What's up with Hearthstone? I've played it on and off for about a year now. I've made Legend all 4 seasons I've tried but greatly prefer Arena, where I floated around a 73% win-rate. But I don't play much anymore. ##What's up with your back/why are you in pain? Long story short, I have back and shoulder issues. Some days are better than others depending on how much I've been streaming/working, how much I've been working out, etc. Occasionally I might be hurting and thus a bit cranky, or on pain meds and a bit loopy, and hope you'll be understanding. If you see something on my shoulder it's probably an ice or hot pack. #Why are you so mean/angry/salty? I'm probably not. Years of playing cards professionally has left me super resistant to real tilt. I have a bit of an ill-fitting reputation from my arrogant youth, and tend to exaggerate my reactions and the like for comical effect. I'm a very passionate person, and will speak confidently and purposefully, and twitch chat seems to perceive that as anger or aggression when it's not at all. I'll also tease my friends/chat regs and an outsider might misconstrue the interaction as me bullying a random in my chat. Suffice to say, I'm generally a positive person and like my channel to be as accepting and open as possible. I'm human and thus am capable of becoming annoyed or frustrated just like anyone else but it's all good at the end of the day. ##How can I support the stream? By watching! And participating in the chat! Financially, see above for subscription info and below for donation/tip info. I also have a [Patreon] (www.patreon.com/AJTV) for my strategy show, [AJTV](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sILwEHvmcqQ&index=15&list=PLT6MLjyx7RUrlyugSuzy-8x5FRpC1480m). You can also help by giving your business to my sponsors. Other than financially, you can also support me by following the channel, as well as my [twitter](https://twitter.com/AJSacher), [youtube](https://www.youtube.com/user/TheAJSacher), and [facebook](www.facebook.com/TheAJSacher) fan page thing. Sharing any content you enjoy and just spreading the word and helping grow the community. Any and all support is greatly appreciated! I rarely if ever run commercials, and it'll be when I am using the restroom or after the stream has ended. I will never run commercials over content. Turning off your adblock is appreciated but not necessary. ##What program are you using to play Magic? This is the official Magic Online client which you can find [here](http://magic.wizards.com/en/content/download). Only available for PC, it costs 10 dollars to make an account. Just like the paper game, you have to buy any packs you want to draft with, pay entry fees to any tournaments you want to join, and own any cards you want to run in your constructed decks. For a free way to explore the game, check out [Duels](http://magic.wizards.com/en/content/magic-duels), which is available for a bunch of platforms and is F2P. ##Why did I get banned? Unban me please! Make sure you've read the Chat Rules above. I don't ban people pretty much ever, but I give time-outs somewhat liberally at times. I tend to aggressively cultivate an environment that is positive and welcoming, and that sometimes entails nipping [potential] buds. If you receive a time-out, don't worry about it--it's sooo not a big deal, and I don't hold anything against anyone. The only thing that complaining about a time-out will get you is more time-outs or bans, let's be honest. If you were axed but understand why and apologize/say you won't do it anymore, I'll usually lift the ban; I'm a pretty understanding dude and realize that mistakes are made. In that same vein, please remember that my mods are human too and are just doing their best to keep things fun and positive for everyone!
