I wouldn't turn down the game, but, like others, I'd be reluctant. Of course, I'm fine with allowing Balance when not abused, Ermakul as a general only, and other things that are banned by the RC, so I certainly wouldn't dismiss it off hand.
I really don't see the need honestly. There are lots of solid G/W generals (Gaddock Teeg would work fine with a Knight deck, Saffi Eriksdotter lets you keep the Knight alive or just take Jasmine Boreal to make it clear you don't care about your general). The deck is playing green, so there's at least a dozen cards in the vein of Worldly Tutor and Green Sun's Zenith to ensure you get your favorite knight in play every game.
I'd question why you'd need to break the rules when there's plenty of tech to make a deck based around a non-general card. You'd need to deal 40 instead of 21 with the Knight, but aside from that it doesn't seem necessary to declare it the general.
Why would purchasing such a deck cause problems, as long as it's your money and not your partners (assuming you don't have half a dozen starving children)?
I stick to gamer girls. They don't necessarily play magic, but they don't mind you spending money for it and listen for hours while you talk about magic, as long as you listen to them and the newest larp clothes they have sewn.
This. My girlfriend plays Magic casually - though she usually ends up playing Angry Birds on the couch when we play EDH after D&D. She does like opening packs with me though and looking at all the art as we go through cards when a new set comes out.
I agree completely.
We have one guy in our 6 player EDH games that has built a deck that doesn't win... all it does is grief. The deck consists of counterspells, board wipes, extra turns, and chaos cards. He also doesn't understand why he is always the first target during our games. When confronted about it and how it isn't fun to play against, he says that is the type of deck he has fun with and if the point is for us all to have fun shouldn't he be able to play the deck type he enjoys? I guess I have no recourse at that point.
"Killing you first is how the rest of us have fun. That's what we have fun with, and if the point is for us all to have fun, why shouldn't we always make you the first target?"
If I start my thread topic as: "[Competitive] How to maximize Wasteland + Crucible?" I wouldn't expect people to chime in to say land destruction is unfair.
Similarly, if my topic was "[Casual] General for a Jellyfish Theme Deck" I wouldn't expect people to berate me as a terrible player because my deck doesn't combo to infinity on turn 4.
Usually if you're clear about your intentions when you start the thread, people respect that. There's a small minority that feel compelled to chime in on every single topic whether they have anything constructive to add or not, but they're easily ignored. Something like "Is Phantasmal Image worth it?" is unclear, but that's where the tags come in handy.
there is something inherently faulty about your whole system setup. IMO suck it up, and buy a new comp from scratch for about 1000 dollars in time for BF3!
Ive always regretting selling my rarer cards in the past... sellers remorse. Keep your card. Sell it when you need a new kidney from all the drinking youll be taking up (due to your terrible financial situation).
This. If you've gone through 2 motherboards, replacing your power supply should come before buying another motherboard.
I'd use him in a GUB graveyard shenanigans deck like The Mimeoplasm, or in a dedicated mill deck like Szadek, Lord of Secrets. Otherwise, he's probably never going to get his ultimate off.
That's what I use him for. In my Mimeoplasm deck he's basically Fog + Self-Mill for 10. Anything beyond that is a nice bonus.
We already have Snow mana as an alternative specific form of mana. There's still a ton of design space around snow mana open to future sets.
90% of the things in Necrogenesis' post (utility lands, mana producing artifacts, special mechanics, balancing mana costs) can already be achieved with :snow:.
We only have ten more legends to be revealed, is that right? I'm rather underwhelmed by the five reveals. If Sliver Queen is one of them, I'll pick this up, maaayybbeee Sliver Legion, otherwise its a no from me or I'll have to see what else is chosen...
What I there to look for in the stock world? I barely know anything about stocks.
If you're doing it for fun, go ahead and do it for fun. It's likely to keep its value and return some measure of dividends. A couple shares aren't a big investment.
If you're doing it as a financial investment, you really need to speak to a qualified professional who can assess the investment in light of your entire financial situation and goals. Giving or receiving legal, medical or financial advice on the internet is rarely a good idea.
If you're curious about how stocks work, Wikipedia is probably the best starting point.
Yes, all the major card sleeve manufactures make sleeves for oversized cards - Planechase planes, Archenemy schemes and the oversized commanders all use the same sleeves. They should be available in almost any gaming store.
I think John Avon is still doing art, and I don't remember exactly what happened with Rebecca Guay but.. I think she and WotC just stopped working together?
They did for a brief bit (in 2003), and then she got hired back in response to the complaints of her sizable fan-base. Persecute Artist is a reference to that. She still does new Magic work (at least as of M10).
I'm Canadian, and every time I've ordered (up to a half dozen or so orders now), I've gotten an email within 10 minutes saying verification wasn't needed.

It hasn't caused any problems yet.

I use Skullclamp in my Ghave, Guru of Spores deck.
That's what I use him for. In my Mimeoplasm deck he's basically Fog + Self-Mill for 10. Anything beyond that is a nice bonus.

Sliver Queen is on the Reserve List.
