I usually just use Fat Pack boxes to hold my decks and have all my dice (and Planechase cards) tucked into various pockets of my "gaming backpack." It's nice to have a bag of all my stuff that I can just grab and go.
As for a game this weekend, I'm not sure how free I'll be. There's a ton of birthdays between now and Monday, and a friend and I are going to see a movie (my first movie in Japanese!) on Saturday, Friday in the States. I'm not sure what time that will be or if we're going to do anything afterwards, but I'll try to get on Cockatrice sometime.
In other news... my Derevi deck (paper version) is coming along more slowly than I thought. The game store around here isn't so well-stocked with obscure older cards or EDH staples (lots of Legacy, though). And they're expensive... T_T; I'll get it together eventually, though. I'm also waiting for new Elspeth to drop in price some more. Siiiigh. Bloody Standard
Hell no. Just every Dual that have Plains or Forest in the land types
Oh, and Mistveil Plains is pretty tech with Karametra!
There are five lands with either the subtype plains or forest, not counting basic lands. Good luck with that
And yeah, I'm considering tearing apart Seizan for something more interesting. I love the demon, but I can't help thinking I might like something like Ashling a little more.

I keep all my stuff in a gaming backpack, too. I just wanted to share that stuff, because, from what I've seen, us gamers tend to be particular about our accoutrements. I know I am, at least. I've seen some really interesting gear out there, especially amongst EDH players. I just thought I would share mine.
I know one of my friends' fathers had made him a custom carrying case. It was all wood, with a leather strap. It had room for between four and six EDH decks, plus a playing mat. It was really slick.
I finally got Elspeth 3.0, recently. It was right before Christmas, for less than $20. I'm sure she'll drop more, once she rotates, but that's ok.
EDIT: I'm digging Brimaz. Seems like a solid choice for mono-:symw:.
Who is excited about King Cat? I know a buddy of mine is going to be very excited about it since he loves cats. I'm interested in him but I'm not sure if he would fit into my Mikaeus deck or not and I'm not sure I would want to build anther mono-white deck around him. Though I did make Mikaeus to not be a token deck so I guess I could go full blown white weenie with King Cat at the helm...

What do you guys think?
I love the art, but I'm a little disappointed by the card. You know, an attacking 1/1 can die easily and a 1/1 that must block is pretty useless, because it have to block in pair with the king cat.

My though process:
"Cool! A possible replacement for Kemba as my general!"
After reading the card:
"Nevermind!"
That's some cool kitty art though :3 also aren't kitties usually 2/2's?

I agree on the blocking 1/1 but I'm not sure I do on the attacking 1/1. I think it will be more effective in multiplayer where you can get him out early on turn 2/3 and attack players that don't have a board presence yet and churn out a couple tokens. Also it doesn't say the token created from attacking has to attack the same player so you could split off at a safer target as well.
Just wondering, is anyone here going to BNG-prerelease?
And on unrelated note, today I, for the first time ever, visited Burger King. It was... okay.
I'm pretty sure I'll be going to BNG prerelease, but with how the set has turned out so far, I'm not so sure... I might skip over it if we don't get more playable stuff for EDH/standard.
So does anyone have any funny sayings for or when they play certain cards?
I have a lot, but obviously they're all in Finnish, so I can't reproduce them here (because of the forum rules).
But oh, there's one that doesn't involve any particular language. Whenever I play Venser (any version), I like to paraphrase Badger Badger Badger, replacing badger with Venser, mushroom with Garruk and snake with Jace.

I won't be attending prerelease. I work, but I doubt I would, even if I didn't. There are a lot of interesting, not to mention pretty, cards. None of them excite me, though. I'll try to get Mogis and the other gods, but that's about it.
I asked because I was wondering if when I played render silent what I do is weird. When I play it I put my finger to my lips and shush them when they about to flip going "It's ok, it's ok, just let it happen shuuuuuuush." My girl thinks it sounds dirty.
when playing some damage spell in red color, that usually involves fire/lightning: "BOOM". Louder if it kills an important piece or burn a player to death. Pretty annoying, but it's difficult to stop after a life doing this
So does anyone have any funny sayings for or when they play certain cards?
Not so much for certain cards, but when a player moves to combat. First they would look around the table at bored states and inevitably, someone will say "Comes this way, goes home in a box." Another good one is "I'll do it anyway!"
On a semi-related note: My new favorite thing is to Savagely Overreact. By this I mean once upon a time, someone played a Terastodon and blew up one of my lands. My next turn, I kicked a Rite of Replication and blew up all of hers. (No feelings were hurt, I had just come off a bad losing streak. Sakashima hadn't been kind to me until that game.)
Absolutely unrelated note: Finally talked my LGS into playing Pauper EDH. Hope this doesn't blowup in my face.
You J? Kidding.
I'm already on my days off. Might have a couple of drinks, tonight, and will be going to the movies, tomorrow evening.

How about no?

They're probably 1/1s, due to having vigilance.

Counterspell: "No."
Bribery/ Acquire/ any thief effect: "Gimme! Gimme! Mine!"
Wrath of God/ board wipes: "Hey, brought. I hear you like overextending..."
Usually, if I say anything funny or sarcastic, it's based on the board state. So it's pretty dependent on the situation.
