    Quote from Stardust
    In EDH, there is always an answer. You have over 11000 cards to choose from. At least one of them will do what you want.

    I'm curious, do you play 1v1 or multiplayer? I've never heard anyone complain about both Clique (only a 1v1 problem) and Teneb (definitely not a 1v1 problem) in the same sentence.


    Go look at the edh section here. Its 95% people complaining about blue decks, 4% arguing about what the spirit of edh is, and 1% professor magic telling everyone exactly how the game should work and arguing at length that the banlist is mismanaged.

    Trolling infraction issued. -viper

    So to clarify, what makes this different from pedophilia? I'd posit that a nine year old has much more mental acuity and ability to understand what you want to put inside of it than an animal, and is more able to give you legitimate consent.

    I'd appreciate it if someone would explain it to me.

    Quote from whidye
    In regards to the Top 25 Multi Colored Non-Creatures list I really feel that Master Warcraft should be on there; in multiplayer it is just silly.

    -You can use it to kill opponents using other opponents resources and leave then open to a counterattack.
    -"Counter target Insurrection."
    -Remove a bunch of utility creatures from a combo player's board.
    -"Plague Wind in Red/White."
    -Fog!
    -Venser's -1!

    I think the card we should take off is Lim-Dul's vault. Its a great instant speed card; but I think the amount of tutors/search available to blue/black is just so strong already that they don't need vault and would rather play something else. I also think the multiplayer aspect of playing vault is much worse - you are just taking time searching/shuffling/rearranging which players typically hate. They aren't going to enjoy you swinging with their team; but at least they can see what you are doing and interact (Goblin Bombard my entire team before damage!).

    Please accept this argument Wink


    If my understanding is correct, master warcraft lets you pick *which* creatures attack, not whom they are attacking. Most of the situations in which it is cast, it either fogs or falters, and when people try to get cute they just get all out swung into.

    It is an amusing card, but it doesn't really do enough to be good.

  • posted a message on EDH Tournament --> Walker Wars
    Quote from Surging Chaos
    Pretty much this. Planeswalker EDH is uncharted territory (I don't even think it's a good format to begin with), and banning handfuls of cards right off the bat without even doing any sort of testing beforehand or getting any feedback is one of the worst ways to try to make a format work.

    Anyway, I've updated my deck code: 9a069a7c


    You think its a bad format, you're still playing in it and expounding at length upon what you think would be healthy for it?

    Any excuse I guess, right?

    can someone tell me what the name of the book is? the link is invalid and i have NO idea what you guys are talking about, although from some of the descriptions it sounds like lolita...


    "The Pedophile's Guide to Love and Pleasure".

    Quote from Xanth
    According to your prior joke, you're going to have to wait several more years. Perhaps your decision to have children will change by then. That would be good on three accounts- firstly, for your wife's sake, whom you will bring much harm to via childbirth, secondly, for society's sake, which would likely be better off without you raising children with similar views (and possibly treating them the same way you're treating your wife), and thirdly, for your own sake, because you would be performing an illegal act and may be subject to punishment by the law.


    Hear that wooshing sound? That is the sound of jokes sailing over your head.

    Which is your opinion, which you are entitled to. But guess what...here in America there is this thing called Freedom of Religion. Last I checked there wasn't a Freedom to Molest Children. That is not an opinion.


    You're completely absurd.

    Your also basing your assumptions that I have never read the book in question.


    So have you read it, or is this the old debate standby of "OMG YOU'RE MAKING AND ASSUMPTION!!?!?!", while said assumption is correct. I'd default to it being the second one, but you could surprise me.

    Have fun you self proclaimed troll.


    Thanks! Enjoy your sanctimony!

  • posted a message on Would you support a large promo print run of Jace TMS?
    Quote from bocephus
    Instead of printing more jace 2.0, how about wizards printing equally powerful planeswalkers in all colors. Then we would have an arguement for reprinting all of the 2.0 powerful walkers in core sets. Until then, ill be happy to see jace 2.0 rotate out of standard. One or two cards should not define a format the way jace 2.0 and primevil titan is at the moment. It narrows the format.


    So you want to replace one eighty dollar mythic with five of them?

    That makes sense.

    Faeries vs Bant. It was hilariously lopsided in fae's favour.

    Or do you mean specific games? I played Jeff Phillips at regionals the last year it was regionals, and it was pretty satisfying to choke him out.

    Quote from Jack_from_NC
    oh, lawl. this reminds me of a thread I stumbled across on 4chan once where a pedophile was answering questions about being a "good" pedo.
    Nobody is forcing people to buy this. Amazon hasn't stamped their logo all over the goddamn thing. In fact, I'd dare say that they rarely review the titles they put out there, and instead just shove them out the door for profit.

    I'm not saying the book should be sold (in fact, I think it's disgusting this saw the light of day outside of a deeply buried website), but saying "OMFG AMAZON ISH SAAAAAATANANANANANAAN!!!1!111!1!1!" is ☺☺☺☺ing rediculous. They deserve a slap on the wrist, and could/should yank the title from their shelves. The only crime they've commited is greed-driven ignorence.


    Being enlightened while being ignorant is pretty awesome, isn't it?

    Quote from Nevik Ecir
    Religious texts I am familiar with do not advocate or teach people how to have sex or sexual acts with children. Which by the way is illegal. Having a religious view as much as you may dislike it, is not.


    They teach intolerance, closed mindedness, and inconsistent morals, which I would posit are equally harmful to the child in the long run.

    You're also all basing the assumption of harm on a book you've *never read*, and several people outright refuse to.

    I'm more or less done having this discussion here, since its not as much fun as trolling amazon and the people are at least as closed minded. Ciao!

    I find it ironic that this has jumped from rank twelve thousand something in the kindle store to five thousand something in about twenty minutes.

    Quote from nameless
    wrong, without restriction of power there is no freedom of any kind.


    Not relevant and arguably not true.

    My problem is with the topic, children for those of us that have them are precious and anything that hints at harming them should be destroyed and burned.


    I think that religious texts are harmful to your children and you should not expose them. Should we then burn those too, and would my opinion be valid to you if I espoused that view?

    Quote from Xanth
    Freedom of speech is tricky. I wonder how many Americans would defend the freedom of speech of a book released on Amazon titled: "How I Taught the Infidels a Lesson: Step by step instructions to plan your own successful terrorist attack." -by Osama Bin Laden.


    I agree with the statement but not with your intent. I would posit that the people decrying this book would be inordinately offended by people calling to remove a christian book on account of the message it imparted.

    Either it is all okay or none of it is, and I for one would have no problem with your hypothetical book.

    @ Skander: Arkadia, yeah. Did I typo?

    I think the fact that Amazon is okay with associating themselves with this disgusting book should be pretty self explanatory on why I will not shop with Amazon ever again and neither should you.

    I cant believe that ANY site would allow the sale of this horrific product

    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0049U4CF6?ie=UTF8&force-full-site=1


    I think this is actually totally hilarious. I can't believe so many people are riled up about an ebook that is almost certainly not graphic and in all honesty isn't that bad. If I had a Kindle I'd buy ten copies just to spite the people shouting for censorship.

    And then I'd probably have to talk to the fbi.
