Why is linvala worth $45?

There's a hilarious amount of mana dorks and Twin in the format, and she shuts down all of them.

No, linvala is that much because its a small set mythic that is played extensively in EDH and sees some fringe modern play.

No, Linvala is that much because it was printed with a unique and experimental ink that produces a euphoric high when smoked and a delicious herbal tea when steeped in water.
One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.

That explains why a bunch of Jaces I see people playing look like they've been chewed on. I just figured it was because they were cheaper.

Just played my first game of EDH on OCTGN... this guy had an Artifact deck that eventually built up to:
Memnite
Krark-Clan Ironworks
Enduring Renewal
Disciple of the Vault
Rinse and repeat: Memnite would yield 2 colorless every time it got sacced from Ironworks, giving him inifinite colorless mana; he would deal infinite damage with Disciple as Renewal shot Memnite back to his hand over and over.
EDIT: He threw in a Skullclamp for infinite draw but it was so not necessary.

EDH is a pretty fun format if you have a good group. I could never imagine playing it online, though.
Natirasha is just a vestige, it's Contessa now.

It was ridiculously complex and annoying to follow.
OCTGN kinda gives me a headache though, so it might be that.

Yaw and I used to play EDH on OCTGN pretty often (and sudo would join us sometimes as well). It's not actually that bad if you don't try to use the "features" they have for magic.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKvdBODvl6M#t=1136 this is the video that really seals it for me. You can finally see a video of him looking down at the cards directly as he shuffles, and the false cut that leaves the top cards alone is painfully obvious on this one.

Look at the spin of the deck when he first picks it up too. That's a common slight of hand technique to look at the bottom card.

The whole "stack" bit it has, auto-counters, essentially everything. I just drag cards from my hand onto the table, add counters myself when I need to, and then will do things like hit the "attack" hotkey or the "untap everything" hotkey or set something to not untap during the untap step.
