Hey everyone I'm about 26 minutes too late, but I figured I would stop in and say happy 3 years to the coffeehouse I apologize for showing up a bit late to the party.
Hey, Ryan, good to see you! I don't think you missed much showing up late, unfortunately...
LexIcon seems to have picked a good time to come in and say hi to everyone, based on the timing and the meaningfulness to the house
Yes indeed. *waves to Lexicon*
I have to ask, Mr. Stuff, have you ever heard of a game called Billy vs. Snakeman? Actually, any anime fans here in particular heard of it?
I hadn't before, but I have now. Wow... interesting. I might give this wackiness a shot just to see what it's all about. I must say I'm not the biggest fan of browser games, though.
Although... the turnout seems a little less than I expected? Oh well, still good to drop by again
Yeah, we're missing... well, almost everybody. What happened, I wonder? Even Chris isn't here.
Thanks for the warm welcome, I would've probably been on earlier but I spent the day at the beach and flea market. Haakon for a dollar is a good day.
Cecilia: Interesting stuff, I like the Red Threshold especially. Seems like lot of options there. I'm hoping to upgrade my casual Merfolk to Legacy status sometime soon, so it's good to see what I may be fighting and the logic behind it.
Side question: If you had to drop Tarmogoyf, what would you run instead? I've always wanted to ask that question, but no one I know owns one so it's all speculation around here.
Reflecting Pool: You know, technically, I *CAN* make any color of mana.
Exotic Orchard: Prove it. Do it right now.
Reflecting Pool: Well, not right now. I need some condi....
Exotic Orchard: LIES. GO DIE IN A FIRE.

Hey, Ryan, good to see you! I don't think you missed much showing up late, unfortunately...
Things are just a little slow right now... still ok, the coffeehouse is still alive
Yes indeed. *waves to Lexicon*

Actually, would you mind holding up on that just a minute? When you go and check it out next time, before you register your character, please click here, and if you make a character, put me (Arguas) as a referral. We both will get stuff for it ^_^.
BvS has a referral program, and actually the system is very good. For an MMO-ish kind of game, it is good as it restricts the amount of time you can spend on it per day, so it can't consume your life, even if you get obsessed with it. As a parody game, it also was pretty funny... now I haven't even been that into anime, particularly Naruto (which the game parodies most), and I still catch references here and there. It also makes references occasionally to other things and games, from Portal to Reboot. Bleach is also a well integrated into the game as a set of things you can do.
Yeah, we're missing... well, almost everybody. What happened, I wonder? Even Chris isn't here.
Actually, I saw him lurking last night around the same time I posted... so he's kind of around, just didn't say anything.
Hi everyone... Seems that things are kind of dead... i am a little disappointed that there wasn't more celebration and conversation here... and I couldn't really post the thread cuz Alacar hasn't been around in the first place, to post the 2nd post, anyway... so I couldn't really do anything about it
And hello, Ryan, how are you?
Sorry I haven't gotten the thread up, I've had a rough couple days, been arguing a bit with Brad, and his dog just died on Sunday, and he found out while we were out celebrating our anniversary, so that put kind of a damper on the evening and then I wasn't feeling too good last night, and didn't end up getting to sleep until 4:30am, and slept in a bit, missing a couple hours of work, cuz I'm staying late today, but I still kind of got people freaked out cuz nobody knew where I was.. kind of bad idea not to let people know.. been busy, and tonight is a Town Hall meeting so I'll be here until 8:30, then when Brad gets out we'll be able to catch last night's episode of Amazing Race, DVR'ed, plus a show called Castle which is also pretty good.
Got a meeting here in about 20 mins and then who knows...

Yeah, I was on. Well, I was around. I spent all of Sunday night with Daidream so when I got home I was exhausted. Still, happy belated, Coffeehouse. Things sure have changed since we started. Back then, Sterling Angel was a regular (now she's getting married) and PurpleD was all over the place. Itinerant Soldier was Crimson Avatar. Spanglegluppet was a darling and Photon Eater and Mamelon were regulars. Ravnica and Guildpact were in full swing and we were in the middle of a heated Dissension Rumor season.
As for me... I miss Daidream...

I don't think people mean to rush you too much for making the new thread. You'll probably be able to get it up soon :-)... which hopefully will bring about some needed happiness, what with the arguing again. This is sad to hear... although I hope that it was restricted to the death of his pet bringing about some foul moods. Hope you were able to cheer each other up, or will be able to tonight It sounds like you're going to have a long day, and you're probably very tired, so I hope you feel better today than you did last night, and enjoy your evening.
As for myself, I'm alright. Busy as usual, but this is comparatively speaking a light week. I have to get some Rudicon stuff done (convention being held at RIT which I am the president of), and I need to handle some project work, with the intent to get things done so I can meet deadlines next week. And of course, there is Tora-Con this weekend, which I have obligations to, and maybe the prerelease the following day. Things are going to be crazy, as expected.

Sterling Angel is getting married too, huh? Along with Photon Eater and Ethersphere? I'm glad people are still keeping in touch outside the house then as well. Ah, the days of the original members... indeed, a lot changed since then. Really, a lot. Also, Dissension was a tad disappointing to me, I remember, I loved Azorius as a guild concept, but was a tad disappointed with its execution. Oh well, it was fun overall though

Your welcome.
You could run alot of threats to replace Tarmogoyf in Threshold. As long as tarmogoyfs are not banned, Threshold will continue to excel but without tarmogoyf I don't think Threshold would be any better then UWb Fish. Considering UWb fish plays with Jotun Grunt which outclasses every other creature that threshold normally plays outside of Tarmogoyf and not to mention UWb Fish can run vedalken shackles as well.
What about Siege-gang Commander and mulldrifter? Mulldrifter seems hot with Momentary Blink draw 4 cards seems good. While Siege-gang commander could add some mid to late game power if you need it. My logic behind Mulldrifter is it might be a better fit in your deck then ancestral vision and Jace Beleren. Also, fire/ice might be better then Remand if you have some of those but I guess you should keep remands in to keep it more aggro-controlish then aggroish.
Yeah, actually I was going to take out the Marshals for Mulldrifters when I get them. Jace has been a house at drawing cards, but Visions can come out. I plan on running the Hellkite as my win-con, not Siege-Gang, but I'll keep him in mind.

Great minds think alike.
Actually, I think Hellkite would be better even though its more expensive to cast. Hellkite would probably serve you better in the end. While it has a more of an instant impact on the board then siege-gang as well. Although, I always like the idea of running Lightning Angels in any RWU deck as well as Alacar previously suggested.
Hello, just thought I'd stop in and say hi. I've been rather busy with school and all that nonsense. I'm not guaranteeing a comeback, but I thought I might remind people I'm alive.

DAMNIT: I should never have to shred my own character sheet in frustration.
Great to see you back here Psychoburner! You missed the 3 year anniversary of the CoffeeHouse by a day, but hey Great to have you back, hopin' you'll stick around this time! Still got that girlfriend of yours?
Speaking of casual, I'm brewing a B/R or UBR zombie deck somewhere in the ole' noggin. I think it has some potential, despite the lack of recent support for the zombie tribe (outside of Death Baron), and the weakness of the Unearth mechanic in general.
I really have no idea where to go with this though. Lich-Lord wants more zombies in play, but they really don't have a good token generator yet. The WB spell that got spoiled might synergize with him somewhat, but I don't think WUB is a good way to go for zombies.
Outlander and Shambling Remains are acceptable, but they don't feel like they'll go well with Death Baron. Remains in particular is probably going to kill whatever he swings at, barring first strike shenanigans, and so deathtouch is superfluous. The Outlander has the opposite problem, although being a 3/3 would help some.
Dreadwing seems fun, if a bit mana-hungry potentially. Rotting Rats will only stay if I can find some graveyard tactics to use them with, maybe Makeshift Mannequin?
Unscythe has potential, providing a finisher-level boost to anything and some chump-blockers to boot. Helps Lich-Lord's second ability too.
Has anyone thought about/played with anything like this yet? Any advice on spells, since I've just plunked down a few that fit my colors and don't suck?
On a unrelated note, my computer has suddenly started eating up all available CPU time, causing massive intermittent slowdowns. I suspect either a memory leak in some background process, or a nasty viral load.
P.S. Can't seem to figure out the DECK tag, all my cards get stuck together in one long word. Spare advice for the newb?

I think making an zombie deck with Lich-Lord of Unix seems awesome. Uncsythe, Killer of kings is awesome as well. I should get some alara reborn boosters seems like a pretty cool innovative set indeed.
Anyway its 5:42am, I have to get going for now I am pretty tired and a long day coming up at school oh well it'll go by fast hopefully. Only got about 4 hours of sleep last night because my room was blazing hot last night so it was hard to fall asleep. Have a good day all and see you all soon.

For UGr threshold you could use werebear, fledgling dragon, nimble mongoose, and etc.
For UGw Threshold you could use Mystic Enforcer, werebear, Rhox War Monk(which is decent in legacy). I am thinking about running Rhox War Monk again actually in UGw Thresh.
For Answers against opposing Tarmogoyfs you could run Sower of Temptation, Engineered Explosives, Trinket Mage(since it fetches for an Engineered Explosives or a relic of progenitus), and Threads of disloyalty.
