Magic Online is a fantastic tool for testing for new formats. Many credit it with an upsurge in player talent on the Pro Tour, and for helping to teach the world how to Draft. That said, it does suffer from some of the same cancers that strike most online games, namely being overrun by obnoxious, cocky, loud mouth jerks. While you can certainly use the ignore feature and/or block users on the client, Pro Tour-San Diego Top 8er Craig Wescoe has come up with a better solution: publicly shaming the people who harass you through Facebook. Check out this recent exchange he posted in a note on the social network after a heated match on MOL:
