MTG Salvation

Quote from Encendi

The question is, if they screwed up allocation, are they gonna try to fix it?

I sure hope so, but I'm not counting on it.

I'm just hoping they don't sell out before Sunday, as that's when a friend will be there.

Okay, here we go. My first shot at this. Hopefully I followed all of the correct rules with the image.

I just used one of the templates found on here. I am still fiddling with the image itself, but overall I am happy with it.

While the elf in the image isn't very zombie-like, I have never been a big fan of the regular Jarad artwork.

I just noticed the = instead of a - in the years part, but I can't be bothered to fix and reupload right now, lol. I eventually want to change some of the colors, like with the power/toughness, as well.

I LOVE this template, but I cant find it no matter how I search! Can you post a link to it please?

Also from IKEA: the Helmer drawers cabinet, which apart for the Magic- sized removable metal drawers can be assembled without wheels and stacked 3-4 high. Seen in an actual LGS.

Would you be able to get some pics of this with the cards inside? Sounds awesome, I may need to pick a few up myself.

Two pages and nobody posted this yet?

HAHA, when I read the thread title I had planned to post this, but you beat me to it

My playgroup basically errata'd the ability to read "Your life total becomes 1/2 of your starting life total."

I tried getting my dad to play once for the same reasons yours wanted to start, but he didn't like it

Shapeshifter's Marrow could be awesome.

Yeah, not drawing cards at all would be the best bet. Then you don't have a chance at loosing a win condition just because you happened to draw it.

Quote from Dechs Kaison

I'm also looking for extra things to do with the cards in my hand, since I won't be able to cast anything after the ideals. How can I turn my draws into something useful?

Hypochondria
Peace of Mind
Knollspine Invocation
Land's Edge
Solitary Confinement This one might be tough to pull off.
Pegasus Refuge
Mind Over Matter
Pyromancy

Some of them help you win too.

Also, cards with cycling that do things when you cycle them could be useful.

Here's how I look at proxies.

Anything I have proxies for I either currently own, or will own in the near future (Gatecrash shocks, the Sol Ring I accidentally traded away when I thought I had extra *facepalm*) I only own 1, and never will have more than 1, Underground Sea, and 3 decks that use it. Same goes for any of the other ABUR duals. Only reason I started picking them up was for EDH. On the rare occasion I play any legacy, I'll borrow the extras I need from a friend.

That said, none of them can be mistaken for the real card. They are all custom art.

Sharpie/paper slip proxies drive me nuts. I only use them when play-testing solo before going through the effort of making another or acquiring the card.

Quote from Wiltingplant

For the larger issue of EDH proxies... no. Proxying the one copy of, say, solemn simulacrum that you have into your five EDH decks is silly. Find another value 4-drop for that slot! It gets especially touchy when one sees a foil alternate-art full-framed Mana Drain at the LGS that the owner freely admits he doesn't have the real one to back it up with. The issue of your general being proxied is pretty similar - have the real one and then it's no big deal to play with the proxy.

What's the problem with this? Its exactly the same thing as searching your other decks for that card and moving it over, only less time-consuming. It's not like I'd be playing 2 decks at the same time.

I have a Deadeye Navigator in play not bonded, and cast Angel of Serenity, bonding to the navigator. Can I flicker the Angel in response to her ETB effect, (with the navigators ability) or are they not bonded until she fully resolves?

Thanks!

All for it. I use many custom proxies in my decks: its just not practical to search for a card I only have 1 of and move it around every time I want to play a different deck. That and custom cards are much more awesome I also own the real card of all the proxies I use.
