I'm thinking about building a third 5 color deck. I bought a set of shocks and I don't really want to put them in my Sliver Overlord deck. I largely keep it around for when other players need a deck, plus it kind of has a CIPT land "theme".
My issue is that of the nine remaining color options I've yet to build for, there are few generals among them that spark my interest. Just the thought of Jund and Ana/Sultai bores me to tears. Hell, until Narset, Enlightened Master and Anafenza, the Foremost, I wasn't terribly thrilled with Raka/Jeskai or Nekra/Abzan, either. Now, I'm thinking about building another Wheel of Time deck with Anafenza commanding a troop of tokens. I'm hoping for more playable monks in the next two sets to do a tribal Buddhist warrior deck with Narset at the helm.

I like tuning too, but when I do it I'll never really be satisfied. Even my best tuned decks still have cards that could be swapped for other cards. It's not that one is better than another, but that they are side grades. I guess my problem for not making more decks is that I'm afraid I'll end up making a list that looks like 99% of lists out there so I use unique generals and slowly tune my decks. I feel like eventually my decks will turn into tuned money decks with all the usual staples. Well at least I still have a few casual decks.
After putting my cat down last Saturday it took exactly 3 days for my wife to replace her. We picked up this little girl cat from the Humane Society a few hours ago and right now the kids are fighting over what to name her. My 7 year old wants Toothless since she's a black cat. My 5 year old thinks Steven is the best name for her. 5yo and I will get vetoed, but I think it's a great name.
Showed up late to league but still got one game in. Played my shattergang deck for the first time and loved it.on my final turn I primal surged. Hit loam, then used feldon to come e-wit to surge again, decking myself. All that was to dig for purphoros because my opponent was at 86 life. I got him down to 8 before I ran out of ways to have creatures erb. Then I died to drawing.I made like five misplays that could have won me the game. Oh, since you're wondering. My opponent had a mana doubler in play.
I finally got to play Wake the Dead last night. I payed 10 mana to syphon 64 life (total 16 per person in a 5 player game), tutor any card to hand, ramp 3 basics in tapped, and draw a card.
I really caught everyone with their pants down with it lol. Thrashing Wumpus came down following it and killed the remaining players. It was funny when my life total went beyond 100.
Happy Holidays everyone, and be safe. Remember, don't drink and drive. And if you must drink, get a designated poster if you go to the ban list thread.
Merry Christmas Eve everyone. May your Christmas be whiter than mine and Im in Minnesnowta. And for those who don't like Christmas or are too politically correct to enjoy a festive greeting, happy holidays.
I came downstairs at 3:45 to get antacids and discovered that my kids had opened every single present under the tree except the 2 that were for me and my wife. The attached picture is why I am furious right now.

I find your kids incredibly adorable right now, but I've got a soft spot for rascals. I do understand you're likely upset that you missed the joy on their faces as they opened the gifts. Here's to making the most of the rest of your holiday!

Up at 6 am to get one of the major parts of our Xmas feast - a 25-lb turkey - stuffed and in the oven.
We opened stuff last night. As expected, I got the Dual Deck Anthologies set, which is really nicely packaged and presented, plus enough sleeves to sleeve them up and have some extras. I foresee keeping these together rather than breaking them down for the cards. I also got some sets of sleeves for general use, in 100-count packs (always good for the EDHer, my son knows what's up), BluRays of several movies I wanted, an excellent set of infused olive oils and a few small items.
So Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Festive Kwanzaa, Happy Hanukkah or whatever seasonal greeting y'all prefer. May nobody get mana screwed.

Hah! As a parent, that really stinks though. Luckily, my daughter came in our room at 7:30 to wake us up and remind us that it's Christmas.
This is crap. I've had VH1 Classic on the the last few hours and I'm seeing the same repeats of stupid Xmas songs AND NOT ONCE HAVE THEY PLAYED CHRISTMAS IN HOLLIS.

TBH: I don't get what the kids did that annoyed you?
-Not waiting?
-Making a mess?
-Leaving the presents on the ground? (My mom would have been pissed, this is ground for losing those gifts.)
-Leaving the clothes and taking the toys?

You're missing the point. There's a light on that tree that won't light on one side. The kids never pointed it out and it ruined Christmas.

Not waiting. The mess was fine, whatever. But when you simplify Christmas in order to make it about the family doing things together, it's nice when the focal activity of their day is done with the family. I spent a lot of money on stuff for them (apparently not a lot compared to anyone else we know, but for me it was definitely a sacrifice) and the only thing I selfishly wanted was to see the look of joy and excitement on their faces when they opened the 1 present they got from us. This is also the last year for Santa so I wanted to see them open the modest gifts from Santa so we could talk about how I asked Santa to let us get them the big thing they wanted this year (My kids have already asked why Santa likes rich kids more than poor kids).
When it comes down to it, I am a bit selfish and I wanted to share that last time when Santa is real and the only time of the year where we buy them nice stuff. It's not that they are deprived in any way at all, but we really promote austerity and investing in toys that last. Today was the annual splurge.
I'm rambling.
I'm trying to decide between Horde of Notions Elementals and Karona, False God Allies.
Elementals seems stronger, but kind of overlaps thematically with my Riku of Two Reflections Spirit/Arcane deck.
Allies doesn't have that problem, but also seems pretty bad.

I finally gave up and searched it On Demand. Then noon rolled around and Pop-Up Video played it.
