Yes, it was a thread of mine in the testing grounds back when it wasn't private. Mainly was used as a place to freely talk without the worry of spam warnings or infractions. There were a core group of us...Daftmouse, AI, Clem, Ed, Duff, Guardman, myself and others that got pretty close or as close as you can over the internet.
Fun times and memories were had :thumbsup:.
-edit-
I may be wrong...But that looks like what the Speakeasy evolved from (not my thread specificly, but the concept)
Ah, the goodolddays.
Everything was so much easier back then, when all I had to worry about was getting through school with as many D's, F's, and Z's as possible.
It's supposed to be over 100 and humid where I live today... I hate the heat.
That's one of the (many) things I thought I would never miss about home but actually do, a lot. I actually miss snow and the cold. Around here its either raining, hot, hot and raining, or the one day of the year they shut down the state cuz it snowed an inch.
So how's everyone's long weekend? Mine is in the process of being salvaged from being a complete disaster with a bare minimum amount of success, so its not a complete waste, I guess. Played 2 game days and got second 2 times in a row. First time lost to my ride also playing Delver (though he had Josh Utter-Leyton's build) and then lost to myself in the finals by keeping Moorland Haunt, Ponder,Snapcaster Mage, Gitaxian Probe, Celestial Purge and Plains on the draw against UB zombies. I obviously didn't blue source until it didn't matter and lost game three to Obliterator and Diregraf Ghoul.
Gonna playtest standard all day and draft tomorrow. Should be fun.
Draft is fun I came first with a bomb R/W build, if you get the right cards always go red/white, it's the strongest and most synergistic deck for draft though there are some really good green.

I haven't played Magic in over a year... Mostly because of League of Legends, but partly because my legacy group broke up. I miss Legacy.
I also miss draft, but I don't have the money for it.

Ended up Modo drafting instead. Started GR, ended up in B/R after wheeling 3 Butcher Ghouls. Lost to Dead-Eye Navigator/Mist Raven.dec in round one, though.
We don't have Memorial day so my weekend wasn't long...but we have the Queen's Jubilee next week which along with bank holiday equals a nice 4 day one!
Re: heat - it's only actually been 70-80 degrees but we're unused to it at the moment!
So your long weekend is still incoming then, huh? Next weekend I'll hopefully be back in Columbus for Origins again.

Pretty sure that was my whole list, those thatchers are amazing especially with the commander, such strong synergy in those colors I'm telling you
That was MaRo's favorite draft strategy during the design process, which apparently resulted in the creation of Goldnight Commander. Nice deck.
I've only drafted the format once, and my table seemed to grossly undervalue blue. I had 2x Wingcrafter, 2x Tandem Lookout, 2x Mist Raven, Wolfir Silverheart, and a plethora of cheap tricks and cantrips to easily scoop up a 3-0 finish, dropping only one game due to being unable to cast the big bad Wolf (it turns out that Alchemist's Refuge isn't very good in Limited).
According to this, a ten-player game featuring Planechase can use a shared deck of 20 Plane cards and 20 Phenomena; This means that a 19-player game could use a deck of 2 Plane cards and 38 Phenomena. Sounds...like a good time?
Maybe after Planechase (2024 Edition), when we actually have 40 Phenomena.
Point being, is anyone interested in Planechase? I've only played one game ever, and it was decent fun. (I believe we used the decks that came with the product.) I like the idea of playing it with a Cube for the main reason that streamlined Constructed decks don't generally have tons of extra mana sitting around with which to roll the planar die.

I own the originals, and they're fun. I'll likely gather these up as well and figure out how I like them.
The black deck in the original set was OP for sure. My son kills us all whenever we break them out to play (that's his deck) unless we gang up on him and kill him.
I have been kicking around in the back of my head whether the new Cascade 2/2 in UG makes Hypergenesis legacy viable...? I'm by no means a legacy player, but I would think a pitchabletoForceofWill permanent might make the cut?

I don't know if the new cascade bear will make Hypergenesis legacy viable (although I hope not because I f'n hate that deck), but I am very happy that I can build UB ninjas in EDH.

I checked and did some research but it all has to deal with script and code checking none of which I have a clue about. You need to track down and talk to Cadet or Ed.
So because of Psi I've decided to start a blog where I review Anime and Manga (alternating each week). I plan to update on Mondays, tell me what you think (only got one review up so far).
I need to go to a movie theater. I haven't been to one in ages and there's been all these awesome movies I've missed. Avengers being one of them: god, everyone I know has seen the thing.
Also, I was thinking of a name change but the one I want was apparently registered by a someone with a single post since joining last year, a couple of months old. Probably out of reach, I guess.

When asked how much power is required, Izzet mages always answer "more".
I still haven't seen the Avengers... at this point I'll probably just wait for it to hit the dollar theaters. It sucks because I love Joss Whedon so much but I literally haven't had the $8 to spare for a movie :|
I do start training at a job tomorrow though, so hopefully I'll actually have some spending money soon

I did look, and I sadly don't know enough to keep up. This is where I show my age. Anime was fringe when I was growning up. Now it is pretty mainstream, but I'm soooooo far behind on the culture. Hell, playing in NGE Mafia was the first I had heard of the anime.
Keep it up, though. I envy you not only your talent in creating such a thing, but also your ambition in maintaining it. And you might just teach an old dog a few things.

Dude, seriously, find a mythic card you don't see yourself playing, or some old books, or something (blood plasma? Well, maybe that's a bit extreme :embarrass:) and sell them and go see this film with good sound and a big screen. It is soooo worth it. Especially if you've ever read the comics, or are a Marvel fan in general.

Shh! Don't let them know anything else they already didn't know!
Me too :-/. It was one of my most used smilies, right behind :sneaky:.
Yeah It's been hot all this weekend :-/. Went fishing friday and got completely sunburnt, paying for it now.
Hot food and hot weather makes me :sick:.
I hate it too...But I don't like the cold either...A good medium is what I prefer :p.
So basically you're screwed.
