Geist Honored Monk dies if the opponent uses slagstorm/whipflare to destroy my tokens, in addition he does not have flying which is a late game necessity to get all your damage through. At the 5cmc it's too much for too little and Elspeth is simply better and at that point if I didn't have Elspeth I'd rather be keeping my land open for Vault activation rather then cast GHM.
I run 2 O-rings main with 1 in the side (you must have misread). I only run 2 main because i needed room for instant speed removal (doom blade and tragic slip) and i figured if there was a match-up where I felt O-ring was more needed the 1 in my sideboard is always there.
Another Elspeth I feel would get clunky, I would add an additional Sorin, Lord of Innistrad (which i'm currently considering) before I would add another Elspeth. Elspeth at 5 a lot of the time comes in really late. Either her +2 becomes semi-optimal because at the point in the game when she comes in I'm usually only on 3-4 tokens at most (if any), as my opponent has wiped multiple times already. Her -2 for her tokens is what makes here most valuable, when you pop her and create 3 3/3 vigilance soldier (due to anthems) it's extremely relevant late-game so you don't have to use fliers as blocks. Then at that point I either let my opponent swing her to open up more for me to swing, or if my opponent decides to swing me, I can them pop her +2 to gain most of that life back the next turn. She creates a target for my opponent so I can get in for lethal sooner while also helping create board presence late-game. In the end, she's helpful, but 1-of her is perfect. Anymore and I feel like I'd get her too often and her role in the deck would be over-stated.

Thank you so much for this explanation. So basically if I'm understanding this correctly, UP against the Humanimator deck stops the combo by not allowing Fiend Hunter to exile AoGR but doesn't stop all the humans from coming back from the grave.
Again.
So Angel of Glories Rise enters, opponent response Ultimate prices, do my humans still come back out? Does her ETB go off? If so how does the rules explain this?
If 1 is correct but 2 isn't why is that? I ways always under the impression ETB went off no matter what, but after seeing the play in situation 1 at an LGS I was confused. Then my friend talked about not being afraid of Humanimator because of situation 2, but I have a hard time believing that's how it works.
Can anybody explain?
Remind me how the Democratic party "oppresses" Catholic/Christians. In this country we have a separation of church and state. This means that our laws should not reflect specific religious values. Not making abortions illegal or allowing women to get birth control or not teaching "creationism" in schools is not "oppressing" Catholics/Christians, it's simply reinforcing separation of church and state, which is a founding principle of this country.
You do realize these are your party platforms, correct? Vote against womens rights/equal pay, revoke their right to choose, tell gays they cant get married, give tax breaks for the rich because it's "trickle-down economics", and lessen gun control (NRA).
Why should he need to provide sources when all you need to do in look at your parties platform, this is what you stand for.
This is the 21st century, not the 60's. They are different generations with different views. Also, pretty sure minorities weren't on track to become the majority in the 60's, but they are now.
Yes, until these older-generation republican folk start dying and the rest become outnumbered by the growing number of minorities and the new generation of young people starting to vote (Hint: Liberals/Progressives). If the Republicans don't start changing they will start becoming out-of-date.
2 States legalized recreational marijuana, ~13 or so have medical marijuana, 3 more states this election voted in support of same-sex marriage, atheism is at an all time high, we elected a president who came out in support of same-sex marriage, are you blind?
You do realize that he's been trying to get things done for a while now, doesn't help any when the GOP won't compromise on anything and when it comes down to it will just filibuster. How you expect a president to get things done when the opposing party in congress won't budge on anything is beyond me.
Lol been 3-1ing and 4-0ing MTGO dailies for the last 2 weeks playing Mono-R. I think you completely are off the mark here. Hellrider, Thundermaw Hellkite, Zealous Constripts late-game. along with early hasty beats in the form of Ash Zealot, Rakdos Shredfreak, and Rakdos Cackler. Then the burn that acts as removal for more creature beats or face burn to close games up like Brimstone Volley, Pillar of flame, and Searing Spear. Mono-R can DEFINITELY be competetive right now, just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it isn't viable. Creatureless burn isn't viable, but Mono-R is a competetive archetype, I'll point you to MTGO daily results and the competetive sub-forum as evidence.
I believe it would look the same, but I am unsure.
It's all in, really, technicalities. "Conceding" means you are purposefully losing or "scooping" in a sanctioned event, normally this is fine, but when a prize split is involved this is illegal. "Dropping" from the tournament is different because you never actually play the match since you technically dropped out of the running before it started, so by default your opponent "wins." This is not illegal.
