[quote from="Airithne »" url="http://www.mtgsalvation.com/forums/the-game/commander-edh/204409-offtopic-community-thread?comment=53078"]growing up in CO I like Utah just fine, but those inversions... F no.
Yeah... Last year we had almost no snow so it got awful. Sent tons of people to the hospital from what I remember (including me).
And here I was complaining a few days ago that the temperature was 15F with cold wind. It's sure nice living in a place where it rarely goes into the negatives.
Different situation, everyone's dropping spiffy T1 plays, so I feel left out. I drop a Mishra's Factory, and a Welding Jar. Game continues, and T3 sees me with a Junk Diver, and I claim that now I can block those annoying flyers, and regenerate my diver, and when the diver dies, I get back my welding jar. Sure enough, Jenara attacks me... so I chump, and regen off of the welding jar. Next turn I get attacked by a dragon, so the diver chumps again, and I get my Welding jar back. Later in the game, someone forgets about my Welding Jar, and tries to kill my Mirror Works... Welding Jar to the rescue. This lets me double copy a spine, and then eventually drop Daretti, I need to sac my spine, but to do that I need something in the graveyard to target for the ability. I guess that Welding Jar is coming back again. Then some fool tries to kill my Kurkesh, Onakke Ancient. Liquimetal Coating -> Kurkesh -> Welding Jar. Two turns later, Daretti brings back the Welding Jar again (nothing else for it, still). I get attacked by two dragons. Serpent Generator makes 2 snakes, that fly thanks to a flipped Homura, Human Ascendant, chump block... you guessed it. Welding Jar, Kurkesh copy, regen both snakes. BECAUSE YES, THIS STUFF IS LEGIT.
I eventually lost, as someone decided that I'd had enough fun with Welding Jar, apparently. Do not doubt the power within the jar.
It's 9:25. Today is my kids' first day at their new school, but because of the snow/ice the start time is pushed back to 10:00. I was told to have them there 20-30 minutes early in order to get them signed in and oriented. My wife knows that we need to leave our house between 9:20 and 9:30 so that we get them there in time and get me to the train station to make it to work by noon.
She started cleaning the goddamn oven at 9:15 and yelled at me 5 minutes ago when I asked if she'd be ready on time.
She does this almost every time I want to be somewhere where I know there will be traffic and/or crowds. Because I know this I checked the laundry and swept the floors because those are common stall tactics. I did not see the oven coming today.
Ugh.
So I've mastered holding a baby and typing, which is nice. I can't wait until it's time to sign him up for school /sarcasm
Also, Maryland has decided it's winter now, apparently.
Best part is that I recently took out Salvaging Station for durdling too much (and having too much of a reputation in the group, since I've used Salvage packages before), and when looking at the various pieces of the salvage package I should probably cut from the deck without support, I figured that yes, welding jar could stay on its own.
Yeah... I can see that. WAY too much power for one person. Well if you ever think about stepping down I'll fire ISB and give you a job here. The pay sucks but you wouldn't believe the amount of people that fawn over me when I'm out in public.
I assume your face looks exactly like your avy and they are like.... OMG ITS CRYO.

Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
I have officially moved to MTGNexus. I just wanted to let people know as my response time to salvation decks being bumped is very hit or miss.
So, I have decided to start adding specific pet cards or themes into my decks based on effects that I think could see more play.
The last set I've done was building around various fog effects, which worked to varying degrees (Karador, too much, Marath, too little, Trostani, pretty good).
I typically won't build 3 decks at once, but fog was a pretty broad category.
I was thinking Olivia, since she can cancel the -1/-1 counters from everlasting torment. But I could easily do Marchesa, or Thraximunder as well, but neither of those really feel like they'd play well with Pestilence, withering wisps, or pyrohemia. Or Death pits of Rath.
I love those days where you go the grocery store and you have to ask the self checkout attendant to put things back because you don't have enough money. I especially love it when your kids see this and proceed to ask as loudly as they can, "Why are you putting ______ back?!!!!"
Anyone had any experience with Arena of the Planeswalkers?
My brother is being convincing in me buying it.
Nope but if you buy it, I will play it. Also I'm finally back in Fargo and now it decides to get cold... On saturday the high is -8F (-22 C) and the low is -28F (-33.3C)
Now that Im looking I shouldn't be complaining... Minneapolis is supposed to be at -20 F as a high that day...
But on magic news, We cubed last night and I won so according to my cube rules, I get to alter a card in the cube here is the result

In addition to it being super funny, adding Vigilance to that with Batman drawn on it is super flavorful. Although I'm 100% sure that was the point.

Adorable kittens are banned from my cube for being too OP. How highly are they picked in yours?
They are up there especially because my tokens are all sleeved in:
But yea any extra abilities written on thew cards are for jokes, not actually additions to playing ability.

I like those sleeves, they're adorable.
Exactly why both Cyro and I are having issues with them as they are soo OP as they are soo cute.

That game justified that decision for me.
