MTG Salvation

Wow. Puca's new mobile site looks good. Now if they can only keep me logged in instead of kicking me off every day I may enjoy the site.

In my experience it's best just to let her think she's right.

I'm way ahead of you. We had the discussion once where I reminded her that we saw Burn After Reading on our 3rd date, then I dropped the issue forever.

Yeah, my wife insists that she never saw certain movies. I just let it go, even when I have proof.

EDIT: I was reading through your arguments Gals and now I want to make a Kyoki, Sanity's Eclipse deck.

EDIT 2: The last deck is from 2010, oh no, here it goes.

Check out my He who hungers thread for ideas if you want. Hes a kami spirit so it might have some ideas for you.


On the new Eldrazi, I am interested as it will be a great card in my Circu, Dimir lobotomist deck as its basically a fate-seal deck but Yeah I'm with Cryo in that I hope we get a ton of niche cards over 1 or 2 staples.


EDIT: http://qz.com/452452/where-are-all-the-aliens/ This is one of the most thought provoking articles that sums up my thoughts late at night when I try to comprehend my life while stating at the moon and Stars. Its a very long read (like 20 min) but is worth it and has more to read about if you want more. Felt y'all would enjoy it as much as I did.

Thanks for the link, I think I've actually looked at your deck before, its cool.

I have a Temur Spirits/Arcane deck, but I have always been enamored with the WB spirits. Maybe I'll just make an Orzhov one as well.

I'm really hoping we get a 4 color spirit commander, too many goodies that I want to cram in.

My car just stalled on the freeway so I'm sitting and waiting for a tow truck. It's good times. I recommend everyone try it.

As someone who has also done this, I too recommend everyone try it.

That's happened to me once. Here. At 10pm on a Sunday. It took 3 hours to get a tow.

That's impressively middle of nowhere. San Diego rush hour only took 40 minutes.

I'd be ok with no more unexpected freeway stops. My last car died while I was going about 80 with half of my belongings in it. That was an enormous pain.

No kidding. I was 18 and a friend of mine and I were driving back to Camp Laramie Peak (BSA) and his car just stopped. I don't even remember why, but his father had to drive up from Ft Collins with a flat bed to drive us to camp and then take the car home. This was back before cell phones too so we had to just wait. And you'd think that it wouldn't take long but that just shows how little people know about Wyoming. It was a damn interstate highway and you'd see a car every 5-10 minutes. I think a Wyoming state trooper stopped first and then called his father.

The 90s sucked.

I had my HOOD fly up while I was driving 65 MPH+ on the freeway. Couldn't see ANYTHING. People in the side lanes also refused to let me over so I could get to the shoulder = (

That sounds incredibly dangerous.

So I'm doing another draft on Friday which will, assuming everyone shows and plays, be a full 8 person draft. I've added another 30 cards so the pool, bringing it to 630 (so I can draft 5/14 packs for nine people), and working on upping the number of generals to 60.

I haven't drafted my cube in probably 2 months. I know there are a few people who really enjoy drafting it but there are a few that seem to poo poo it which makes me hesitant to bring it out sometimes.

Very dangerous. There wasn't someone in front of me at the time so I didn't freak out I just slowed down and assumed unless someone came to a dead stop on the freeway my slow speed would keep me from running into someone. The problem was at a lower speed it was very hard to change lanes and get off the freeway (I had three lanes to cross and the freeway was somewhat busy). I had my emergency lights on but instead of letting me over many people SPED UP so that they would pass me before I could get over. Made me a little upset.

I've been mentally making a Jhoira of the Ghitu deck that will be part chaos part smash face. For some reason I don't feel bad about the chaos magic part...

In my experience it best to keep Jhoira in your mental space. Suspended, if you will.

Hush you

I'm thinking baout tlaking to the boss guy at my LGS and seeing if we can run an event using both EDH and The Eternities Map planechase with me offering the prize support of a 25 dollar gift card from the shop with no entry fee yes i am insane....

Car has now been diagnosed and, keeping in the spirit of the forum I'm on, I could have a competitive legacy deck for what it costs to fix it. Powertrain control module, aka the computer brain for the engine and transmission, is completely shot.

thats never fun. I had a pair of vehicles do crap like that to me in a two year time period. I was not happy.

Go for the Legacy deck.

I actually just picked up the rest of what I needed for MUD a couple days ago, so I'm kind of doing both. Thankfully this happened while I'm pretty well employed and not 6 months ago.

I've had this car for about 4 years now and this is the first big problem, so it has a pretty good track record. My last one died in spectacular fashion, though. Head gasket blew on the freeway and the engine siezed. Sadly, a car is a necessity for me here. I would really like having decent public transportation and to not need to drive so much, but southern California expands out, not up, so that's not very likely any time soon.

That complaint about public transit is exactly why I am trying to get out of Mississippi and live somewhere like Chicago where I'm going to university.

I hate driving, it's boring and one of the most dangerous things we do. However, the only other transportation here is the local universities bus system which is only good if you want to go from the school to walmart. Even then, I would still have to drive 20 minutes to the school.

I know that a few peoply in this thread don't like the planechase element for the randomness that it adds to the game, but my son and I have always liked them. Not all the time, but we like flipping over that card and seeing what we have to deal with next. The Eternities style mitigates some of the randomness, but it takes up quite a bit of room. We did a modified version with a scrolling 9 so that whenever a player moved off the 9 we would drop 3 farthest away and deal 3 more in the direction they traveled. I think we had a rule too that you couldn't move diagonally from the corners to an unknown square so as to not have to add 5 planes to keep our square.

I have a huge stack of planes, and I'm not sure if I have them all. Some repeats and all since I think I ended up buying 2 of each for the first Planechase set, and doubled up on a couple in the second set.

One a side note: It janks my nads the way WoTC numbers special sets. Planechase really annoyed me because they used the same symbol for both sets. When I was organizing me collection by set and number the only saving grace was that one had a different card total, though that meant that I had to squint at each card number as I separated them. I am partially color blind so seeing black text on some mottled backgrounds (red and gold are the worst) is impossible for me without a jeweler's loup.

Other special sets just annoy me because they don't number by color and alphabetically. I can take a Standard set and sort it by color and alphabetically and be certain that I am also sorting it by collector #, but with some special sets they have a wonky # system. I don't like it but I can grok that they number them by deck (this is probably for sorting and packing reasons), but beyond that I don't really get their system. I didn't really spend any time trying to unravel it though, as I was too busy squinting at stupid red cards.

I was so happy when they released the new borders. It is so much easier for me to sort. On the other hand I don't buy cards like I used to so I will have a lot less cards to sort going forth. I bought a box of Khans when it first came out, but I don't see doing that much in the future.

Actually, PC2010 and PC2012 have different symbols. The difference is subtle, but it's there.

One has a 0 and the other has a 2.

I see it.

I had to go back and look several times...you're right but it is a bull***** difference. Way to subtle for me to notice unless I knew it was there. Probably would have been just as tough to sort as was using the total card #.
