Also, from what you've briefly mentioned of your deck, it sounds like a goodstuff deck, and as such, WILL get more than its fair share of targeted hate. Especially if you're running Blightsteel Colossus. If you want to share your deck (in the decklist section) I'm sure people will be more than willing to help you with it, but in the meantime I'd reassess it and make sure your curve is good and that you're not painting a huge bullseye on yourself until you're ready.

Your post is mostly unintelligible. But I'll answer the last 3 points.

1. Neither does Primeval Titan. If you don't have powerful lands to tutor for, he's actually pretty mediocre.
2. Not if it is in the same color as counter-magic.
3. I am far more afraid of a player that untaps with Deadeye than Primeval. Primeval is strong for sure, but Deadeye is a combo piece, end of story.

1. So thinning your deck of two basic lands and ramping ahead two mana is mediocre? Explain to me why Farhaven Elf and friends sees play then? Or did you mean a 6/6 trampler for 6 was mediocre?

Primeval is a combo piece if you want it to be. Urborg/Coffers into Exsanguinate. GG.

Well this sucks. I went to get my haircut this morning, and instead of the young, attractive girl who usually does it, I get stuck with someone's great-grandmother. So I tell her what I want and then start sulking with my own internal conversations, not really paying attention to what she's repeating back to me, because I get a standard military haircut with finger-length on the top. So she starts going to town, and next thing I know, she's shaving my head.

It's not really that big a deal because in a month my hair will grow out again, but still... Oh, and to add insult to injury, when I got there the computer was down and the receptionist couldn't locate my client card info (which btw, I never give a crap about anyway), so halfway through when the computer is back up she comes up to me to get me to spell my name again so she can find it. Then at the end, she brings me a new card and says "here's a new card so we can locate you when you spell your name correctly".

When you spell your name correctly.... Lady, I've been spelling it for over 30 years, you think maybe you messed up?

What about Kamigawa Lantern-Lit Graveyard lands for budget manafixing? Does anyone have experience with them? I can see them in my Uril deck as it wants WRG on turn 3-4 and would not probably care much if it is one less mana on the next turn.

Personally, I'd run any number of the CIPT dual lands before I ran that.

Think of it like Family Game Night (the concept, not the show on The Hub). There is no prize other than bragging rights, and while everybody wants to win, the goal is doing something as a family and having fun with each other. That's casual EDH.

Competitive EDH is something more akin to playing CoD online, where you use every tool and exploit to your advantage. Again, nothing on the line, but the bragging rights are what is driving you to win more than the overall fun of everyone else.

So I was out with some friends last night (or two nights ago, seeing as this is technically early morning now) and we stopped to grab some drinks. One of them isn't much of a drinker, which kind of made her the odd one out in this group, and generally prefers a glass of wine and a good book to anything else. After chatting with her for quite a while, my plans tonight involved a glass of wine and a good book.

I may be slightly susceptible to suggestions from attractive women with good taste. Just thought I'd share my kryptonite with everyone.

Does she live alone with her three cats? Cuz if so, run bro, run while you can.

Some random sig led me to some random RLA thread which led me to this.

My reaction:

I dunno, the guy knows his stuff. Pogs are eeeeeeeeevil!

(side note: A guy I played with lost his first MtG collection when his Bible-thumping parents threw it in the fireplace.)

Quote from (cryogen)

And how many of those wins were helped by the lands that PT fetched you? This is what people have a hard time accepting: he's not the win, he's the enabler.

My point was that everyone is quick to point at cards like DEN, Palinchron, Hermit Druid, etc. and it's very easy to see how these cards are enablers (hence where all the heated debates over them stem from), but Primeval Titan gets overlooked because "all he does is get lands". The fact that all those lands he fetched you is generally what does broken things, but since it's just land, people seem to forget that. This can be seen right here on this thread with everyone who is vocal against his ban. There are pretty much only two arguments, "the RC lacks consistancy and didn't properly state why they banned him", or "but he's not even broken, he just got me some lands".

Quote from Obsidian Dice

I'd just like to point out that testing something in a draft environment is not the same thing as playing it in a constructed environment. Delver of Secrets is borderline playable in draft, and is incredibly powerful in Standard and Legacy.

Protean Hulk and Recurring Nightmare both seem much more powerful in decks with access to all of the legal EDH cards rather than a small subset you're able to pick up.

This is true, but at the same time, when none of the decks are constructed, it is the ultimate environment for testing 'fair use'.

I was just handed eight brand new pens. Success.

And this is a highlight? Must be a dull day. Of course, I get free pens all the time, so this isn't as cool. And I'm not talking cheap disposable ones, I'm talking the $7 all-weather space pens.

Stupid lack of access rights. Dang mods move an interesting sounding thread and the. Leave the link up there, taunting you with its intrigue.

Quote from Antiria

Deadeye Navigator is much worse than Primeval Titan for this format. I say this because I play UG and rarely get wins off Primeval. Many of my wins come from stupidly degenerate pairings with Deadeye. It's kinda too much.

And how many of those wins were helped by the lands that PT fetched you? This is what people have a hard time accepting: he's not the win, he's the enabler.

Ah, well I'm a 90's kid so that might be why lol

Yeah, I was too lazy to delete a few lines of text.

Quote from Sanity"s_Eclipse

Do you mean tastefully? Because a flavorful playmat to go with your decks seems a bit different then a tasteful one that's partially nude.

I'm seriously a touch confused on your wording.

Side note, I personally don't understand the whole anime cat girl thing. Sure I watch some anime, etc, but I still don't get it. /shrug

'80's kids that watched too much Thundercats are all grown up now.
