I see most of well about all of you are outside the Island. Anyone in this group of bff4ev4 live on the Island? Or go to NG?
Also where is a good place to play magic and meet people other the NG, that happens to be on the Island? Also somewhere on the island there has to be a place that’s cheaper the NG for buying mtg cards.
I moved to NY over a year ago and just got put on new meds, so I can leave my house with out thinking I'm going to be kidnapped by a government agency or aliens. So now I can meet people with out wetting myself in fear. Believe it or not that is why I don’t know anyone in the city yet.
SO who wants to hang out *twitch*
are you serious or just trying to be funny? if you are trying to be funny.. u get the thumbs down
This is a friendly crew here, lets not go bashing around. I goof as much as the next guy. Chill out, have fun. If you have serious questions about LI MTG, these guys know the deal.

Right on, spliffington.
though by "island" I think he means Manahattan.
Trouble is we are all split up, Queens, Brooklyn, and LI - but at the very least we meet every so often for drafting or at the prereleases/PTQs.
Next time you post popular opinions, please word them in such a way that they're not infractable. Someone may be widely thought to be the dullest tool in the shed, but you can't publicly call him that, which as a mod I can neither confirm nor deny that I fervently believe he's a tool.
Holy Balls!
So from these numbers I can assume that if Thoughtseize is only one per case than the value will skyrocket when people start getting stunned at the rarity. Its either that or some men got a one way ride to frowntown.
Is Thoughtseize really that rare of a card or are these men paying for all the bad karma they dropped while lurking Youtube?
Yeah, and I opened goc's foil thoughtseize. cue up the transformers movie "you got the touch...you got the power". indeed. then I ripped a Japanese gilt-leaf-land for Ombak. Kevin Spacey has something to say about that: "I rule!" enough quotes for ya?
speaking of which I seriously cannot believe frowntown caught on - I am a genius.
So who's coming 'round to goc's Saturday for some Lorwyn goodness? we've got tournament packs and boosters for sealed and drafting. I'll be bringing a Lorwyn-legal deck or two for some testing pre-State Champs and I encourage everyone else to do the same. I'll also have my vintage and extended decks if anyone wants to throw down between matches. Oh and of course my binders of goodness. See you there, chumpstains.

so how many boxes and 4 thoughtseize, 16 boxes total opened between the guys at GoC's yesterday and 4 thoughseize???? I think wizards decided to make an ultra rare and not give it a new color in the rarity symbol. Also losing foil profane command, clearly the best card out of all the packs I busted, absolutely yackworthy. (only complaining becuase of all the jank I pulled from most of all the packs I opened from Lorwyn) Cred to reanimator on the win. I'll get you next time pretty boy.

If you find one let me know - I go to NG for FNM sometimes, and went fairly often over the Summer since I was working in the city, but I buy singles online or at a local shop out here in Jamaica, Queens. Same thing for boxes, packs etc...
I moved to NY over a year ago and just got put on new meds, so I can leave my house with out thinking I'm going to be kidnapped by a government agency or aliens. So now I can meet people with out wetting myself in fear. Believe it or not that is why I don’t know anyone in the city yet.
Except for the fear part that sounds kind of cool... ok, I'm not being serious. I take meds too, but hey, probably every other person in this country does for one thing or another these days. I for one would be glad to hang out and I'm sure the others would too. Can't know how well you'll get along with people until you meet them at least once or twice.
AT re-animator and DMX - credit to re-animator indeed, a nice win and a great haul with Doran and foil Profane as your prizes. As to the overall pack quality - I will definitely be hoping to even out the Thoughtseize count when I get my stuff in this week...
AT TC - You sure you can't take a day off to crack some more packs? It's ok, I'm confident in my luck this week.
May go to Mark's for FNM next week after all... stay tuned... (originally had an event planned that Friday).
Also - will post my Doran build tonight for feedback - I think the ticket is Doran + Glittering Wish.
PS - I ran a practice draft at magic.tcgplayer today DMX... and just picked up a pack 2 picks 1 and 2 Militia's Pride and Wizened Cenn (no removal, already firmly in white). Count yourself lucky I never saw that rare yesterday...
I an getting a sig banner together, I need your help all. I am putting a zombie request together but I need some text at the bottom that I want to be funny but still cool. My sig will have Lim-Dul in the center with Lord of the undead and Undead Warchief on each side, then out the outside edges Carnophage and Sangrophage.
I would like the text to incorporate Death , Feeding, and the general darkness of zombies, the hungry undead. I know you guys can help out
You'll notice the sideboard has only 13 cards at the moment. Should I add another Gaddock? Another Vhati? Or is there something missing that I absolutely need to throw in, whether it's Wish-able or not? (Rack hate? Burn protection? Life-gain?)
Anyways, I think it works well and just needs some tuning - should I drop some of the removal and add another spell to the maindeck? Should I reconsider Wall of Roots? He lost out to Edge of Autumn (accelerates AND thins) and Treefolk Harbinger essentially, but should I make room for him by removing a Mystic Enforcer and one copy or another of some spells?
Also, Oblivion Ring instead of Crib Swap? Crib Swap is tutorable, but the Ring is more versatile. Nameless Inversion is tutorable so maybe I should forego Crib Swap in favor of Oblivion Ring?
Any input is welcome. IM me if you'd like to test over the week.
@ Ombak - Don't you think teeg should be main deck? At the very least 4x in the SB, it seems like the nuts vs any kind of control , saffi + gaddok , I was really thinking about it, thats gross man. So if some1 kills gaddock, you can bring him back again immediatly, they still can't ***. Seems like your dudes live. Also maybe I was too hard on fathom trawl, but still, usually a card that is situationally good....isn't good. Tidings = just better in my opinion. As far as Wizened Cenn goes......yuuuuuch.
@ Chops - I'm going to just point out to everyone here that you think that eyes of the wisent is a crap card.....brother, this card is the nuts vs. blue, this card is the apitomy of what blue doesn't want to see, teachings DIES to this card, any kind of blue deck might as well just hang it up if this gets into play, it's the ultimate hoser, I've never seen one of such potency. This card WILL see play.
@ GoC - I noticed that "JimIsOnYourSide" is banned from the forum.....who was he and what did he do to get banned? Also when are we going to instate "Ride or Die" ? Most of us like it...
I'd love to test vs. anyone with my 'prototype' g/b deck... if anyone wants to play this week let me know!
PS - did any1 notice that this forum started exploding with activity after that dude said it's boring in here hehe

funny that you mention that, i was asked to invite you to play some magic wednesday night at mike's house. apparently, our tourney saturday got the fire lit under him. if i didn't have laundry to do, i would have been at his place, playing magic.

@ eyes of the wisent - sorry man, still garbage. problem is, it's green. Green should be swarming with little men, or unkillables before this card even matters; it's a win more. Show me a green build with control and maybe it will see play. If it was white or black? Forget it, THEN it would be nuts. As for teachings, well what makes you think teaching would let this resolve? or bounce it then re-counter it? seriously, that's what teachings does. What kills teachings? Teferi on the other side of the table next to a yixlid jailer. or more spells than they can deal with in a turn, or untargetables, or hasted men, or lost of burn... etc etc etc.
on a sidenote, you want to know the real secret tech SB for green men at states vs teachings? the same thing from Mirrodin block era states - Gaea's herald. you're welcome.
@ Testing, I would be seriously down except I have to work late nearly every day this week. I can try for Thursday night, but no promises. I am going to try and get the plumber [to fix my clogged shower drain] in and out of my apartment in time to get to Mark's pretty early on Friday if anyone's able to make it (I have plans the rest of the weekend, sorry - GF just graduated and her sis will be in town).
@ ride or die - meh. suit yourselves. "sounds pretty homo to me" to quote dmx.
@ foil lorwyn stuffs - big ups to re-ani for winning the foil profane via grizzly bears, hill giants and burn. savage. bigger ups to hooking me up with that sexy thing. goc and ombak: you need to bring your respective foil hotness [you know the ones] to mark's
on Friday so I can take those off your hands as well (goc, I can't 2 for 1 you anymore as a trade fell through and I only received 3x, of which I need all for states; but I can do at least a 1 non foil + a handful of good stuff you need - let's talk turkey later).
@ prototype g/b deck... you mean what every kid will play @ states and FNM thinking its still good without rav? yeah, well good luck man, because unless we develop some insane tech fast that'll sink to tier two status pretty quickly. though I am certain after we do some testing (especially with my personal meta-crusher) you'll see the light.

ha ha ha, ride or die is homo, the sad thing is , its true
If we're going cliché how about "NYC Dark Knights ride again"?
and if i wiped my ass with eyes of the wisent, it would not be any more playable than it is
No, but it might be LESS playable!

Yeah, Saffi + Gaddock is excellent, but I do think he's sideboard material. I may up the count on him though.

Will do. I am putting together a list of things I need and will let you know what I'm looking for by Wednesday night.
I actually appreciate you replying to my thread in the market value forum. Even though you're obviously the trader in question I don't mind at all.
I'll also have GoC's Shah and all of my new foils in my binder as well as Lorwyn goodies. It's gonna be a very profitable Friday.
I started testing g/b last nite......if it gets a good pull, it's unbeatable, hands down. Turn 1 thoughseize, turn 2 augur, turn 3 stupor with backup terror and pox, thats game man. Drop a OWNa's prowler or tommy ftw.
I got the mines....couple flourishings......mikey, do you play on mws? That goes out to ombak and any1 else as well , I would definatly be down to play ppl on MWS as early as tonight around 7pm for playtesting.....mikey what kinda deck is turbo fog, is that with martyr? Get back to me ppl.
@ombak - I like the deck, I'd like to see serra avenger get in there somewhere , somehow also.
@ ride or die - meh. suit yourselves. "sounds pretty homo to me" to quote dmx.
does anyone have any other suggestions?
@ foil lorwyn stuffs - big ups to re-ani for winning the foil profane

Yes. Only 2 Thoughtseize. The low average continues.
frowntown, indeed. actually, though, your case lifted our average slightly. we've now opened approximately 23 boxes and got 6 of them: slightly better than 1 per 4 boxes. prior, it was 4 in 17 boxes: slightly worse than 1 per 4 boxes[/mathgeek]
speaking of cases, the actual cost for the cases through mike is going to be $420. still trying to suss out what the foreign availability is looking like, though.
Too ambitious right? But think about it... Cairn Wanderer + Slivers in the graveyard and on the table = hastey finisher... something to think about.
Actually, that sounded awesome, especially with slivercycling. There's one problem: slivers don't have abilities, they just have a static ability that gives abilities. Won't work from the graveyard.

Last night I was lucky enough to witness the sheering of 210 packs of Lorwyn.
Much fun was had and many tears were shed. The final counts!
Ashling's Prerogative 0x WTF?
Gaddock Teeg 4x
Cryptic Command 5x
