At the time I had no KotR, but I've since added one.
I really should update this list soon.

Jun 10, 2010locifer posted a message on Captain SisayI haven't found the hondens to be too hot, but I did add mangara, the three eldrazi and linvala while making some changes. I dropped some of the mana dorks for a couple and replaced underwhelming guys like radiant archangel. What would you suggest to cut to try hondens?Posted in: locifer Blog
Current deck is looking - noble hierarch (unable to be run anyway), birds of paradise, radiant, kataki(don't have one yet), rampant growth + kozilek, emrakul, ulamog, mangara and linvala - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.
What each of those values means varies wildly from region to region though. My rent on my two bedroom apartment is $690/mo. I went out of my way to find the cheapest place I could in all of NE Ohio (without fear for safety). In NEO you pretty much are required to have a car. The bus lines are few and far between. If you work downtown, you could get a rapid pass but you still need to get to a rapid station (of which there are maybe 5 on the entire east side and none in the northeast). A person should be able to have a car out here. Someone in more urban areas may be able to roll with subway, train, etc. expenses, just like someone on the west side of CLE could too. As for recreational spending, this is necessary for morale. A person who is working full time should be able to treat themselves to a meal at a restaurant, movie, card night, bowling, something recreational to realize that they're not just working to live.
I also feel that maybe I live in a dream world where this could never happen, so I guess something as close to that as possible would be ideal.
Currently working as a Mobile Application Developer.
I feel more of my views and opinions were influenced in my pre-dev days when I was a McEmployee trying to pay for school.
They could also do a cycle similar to Tranquil Thicket but do something like this:
Tranquil Friend Thicket
ETB tapped.
Add G to mana pool
Plainscycling G (G, Discard this card: Search for a plains card.)
Maybe you'd need to make it basic land because then you can just search out shocks/etc. But something like this would enable them to break new ground by only printing a good quantity of different lands.
B O R N D E A D or
A B O R T I O N
Then why bother mentioning that you "could" cite a dozen more resources if you aren't willing to do so? You're the one trying to disprove the study. If you claim to have dozens of sources to disprove the study, why not just link them all at once and disprove the study beyond doubt ending this silly diversion?
I feel that Jon Bernthal was a really great Punisher and I feel that they could very easily spin him off into his own Punisher series (or at least a movie) if they wanted to. I am almost glad that they didn't have him completely join Elektra and Daredevil in that last fight scene and just did the cameo at the end. It was such a tease and I was waiting for it the entire time. When it finally came, I felt that it worked better than if they would have all been fighting together.
I'm also entertained that Kahedron above mentions that angle with Punisher tying Matt up on the rooftops and taping a gun to his hand. The stairwell fight scene that came after that was a gloriously amazing display. Probably my favorite of the season.
The fact that my favorite deck (Lands) wouldn't exist in this format would also hurt my chances to enjoy it.
Oh believe me, I bought my cards with a use. I retired for a while and never cashed out so I had a good stock of $10 duals from 99-01. When I came back (08) I quickly realized that Legacy was the only format that I enjoyed and bought in further. At the time, I lived 30 min further south so I could get to events that would fire with reasonable quantities of people and not be home by 1-2am during the week. Hell the events I used to go to in that time were 4-5 rounds. Once moving up here, one of my friends opened a shop and started running events out here too (Northeast Cleveland area). There's good turnout but it's slowly started to dwindle as singles are harder to come by. The proxy legacy night was starting to revitalize the legacy scene here. We went from not being able to fire to having 12-16 people show up. So now the option that I guess we have is the three or four of us who have multiple decks can start renting/loaning them out and advertising this on facebook or something?
I understand that the Legacy scene is slowly dying because of supply and demand, but there is no reason to murder it in lesser populated areas like this. I could only imagine how awful it is for some of the people who live in more rural areas as this is a problem in my neighborhood and there are at least 10 shops that I can think of in an hour's drive of me. Now I can think of one that would reliably hold a legacy event and it's an hour drive (on a good day) away.
In the end, all this does for me is makes it much easier to quit again. Standard and Modern are both horrible, Limited is fun. Now all I see is a bunch of expensive cardboard that I may get to dust off once a month and no inspiration to continue purchasing.
See this isn't entirely true. I want to play Legacy so I bought the cards. The only event that I can realistically attend is a proxy legacy night that just got nixed because of this. Now if I want to play, I can show up on Sunday night and hope that 8 people show up to fire the event or I can drive 1+ hour south and play in an event that will end around midnight on a weekday so I can show up to work on 4 hours sleep. It doesn't matter that the two or three of us who do own the cards for several decks bring them to share, because people still wont show. So now I can just playtest with the same 3 people that I already do, or just give up and cash out? Seems perfectly reasonable for someone who bought in.
You can fit quite a bit of product on a standard 3 or 5 shelf bookcase. Mine was a 3 shelf and I stored 3 years of sealed commander boxes, a couple boosters, some sealed prerelease packs and a shelf full of fatpacks (probably about 20).
I hope to someday manage the 5CC Sene special in a draft, but I think the locals will stop me of that. I ended up going 2-1 with RG Landfall this week at FNM, losing a close one to a guy in WG allies and blowing out a UG Ramp and UB control(ish) deck. It was a fun draft, and very rewarding when picking up signals. I almost got trapped because the guy next to me was the UG Ramp guy and he was passing a ton of the red eldrazi stuff to enable something with a ton of Nettle Drones, Aggregates, and the like, but was taking all the Eldrazi spawners so I wouldn't really have been able to get that off the ground.
