Funny you should mention that. I spent the last little while throwing this together. It's quite possibly the -least- competitive deck I've ever built, and that's saying a ton.
It's a theme deck, obviously, and hasn't got a prayer of winning even against other theme decks. I should make this blunt - this deck is not intended to win. I suck at Magic, but I know better than this, at least. You only have a few creatures, and half of them sacrifice themselves in order to achieve whatever it is they do. I suppose you have the 'combo' of bouncing your Shield Spheres with Temporal Adept, or bouncing your Marble Titans to untap them. You have a bunch of really expensive cards. You probably shouldn't play Sway of the Stars even if you can, because it will just make you lose.
Cut from the deck - Artificial Evolution, Warp World, and Melancholy, for somehow being even worse than the rest of this pile. A lot of times theme decks turn out to have weird interactions that you didn't expect. This is not one of those times.
To anyone who hasn't read it yet, please read Wizards' You Are a Planeswalker, on their new Planeswalker website. It is very informative, and provided a much-needed better look at how the Time Spiral block ended, and how the multiverse works.
I challenge Sakura for control over the Plane of Fudge and Bunnies!
This article, and the events of Future Sight, do NOT change the plot of Academy block, where at the end, Omna and Arguas's love created their Spark, which allowed them to travel to other planes. It does NOT change the fact that Aeterna, the creator of the plane, is still a goddess-like being, perhaps a planeswalker herself (can't tell you), and it does NOT change the fact that Jukar's demonic power survived and crash-landed on Soltera. (Oops. Wasn't supposed to reveal that.)
Its a budget deck (for now), but is has won a couple of games. I like how the deck can just run out a bunch of guys through chaining. Anyone care too help?
The characters are Koizumi (Shieldmage Advocate), Asahina (Temporal Adept), Nagato (Fatespinner), Kyon (Dedicated Martyr), Haruhi (Disruptive Student), Asakura (Daring Apprentice), Kyon's Sister (Little Girl), and Shami (Glittering Lynx). Shami made the cut over other characters because it was easier to find a card for him than for most others. If someone can come up with a better card for Nagato, that'd be great. (Preferably blue or white.)
There were a lot of cards I wanted to include, but didn't because they felt cheaty. Like Time Walk.
hey guys i just got back from my bike ride, and luckily with out breaking anything or my life. I was crossing a street while i had a pedestrian walk sign when this middle aged dude in a jeep speeds across the intersection pushing me into a guardrail. I ended up spraining my ankle, and scrapping myself up, but nothign too bad. When the guy pulled over when i asked him for his information, isntead he kept yelling expletive words at me. Luckily i had the foresight and whipped out my cellphone camera and tok a picture of him and memorized his plate. I am going to laugh so hard when his license is revoked, and the fine hammer comes upon him.
Woah.. I commend you on your fast thinking, getting his license plate and stuff, what do you plan to do with it?
Well, yeah.
It wasn't as though I expected an outpouring, or even any advice. It's more that we in the Coffeehouse usually respond to each other and converse, at least most of us, even if it's just an acknowledgement. The past few posts I'd made seemed carried away in a flood. One generally comes here to talk, and it's frustrating when no one seems interesting in talking to you.
I know people usually get a negative response when they seem to be asking for attention, but at one point or another nearly everyone here asks for attention in some way. And we almost all know it's been a problem in the 'House before - it's partly what the whole concern about content and spam is about.
And besides, it's one thing when someone constantly grabs for attention and then overreacts when someone even appears to not be paying it. It's another when someone feels left out or something once in a while and says so. Especially when other people have made frequent remarks about the same thing.
I'm not trying to make any far-reaching comment about the 'House, or make a scene, or any such thing, really it's just an expression of what it looked like to me.
Anyway, it's not really a big deal, I guess, but that's what I was thinking when I wrote that.
It's not exactly like I'm mad - and if I were, I'd certainly not be at you, Mr. Stuff, as you were one of the only people who gave any response.
I actually commented in regards to your post too, because I have a great deal of anxiety as well, and could really sympathize with you... I think my post may have been missed though as i did it later, and I'm not sure if i directly referenced your post (ie, didn't quote it) but I did want to say I could really understand your situation and I was happy to see someone else experiencing the same kidn of thing I was, and I was sorry you felt ignored...
It always irks me when someone just posts a deck list, without anything else to go along with it.[/grumble]
Well, I had an interesting day. Went to help build a barbed-wire fence as a favor for one of the local farmers. Naturally, I wore a long-sleeved shirt, and jeans, because I didn't wish to cut myself to pieces. The farmer's son, Jason, had one job. He was in charge of making sure everyone there had fresh water throughout the day. Now, we were a few miles into the guy's property, and worked along the edge of one of the crop sections. Simply put, the Sun was never not bearing down on us.
And, did Jason do his job? No, of course not. He decided we could spend four and a half hours on what we had in our canteens, and then he showed up with nothing but bottles of coke. Therefore, I am dehydrated, angry, and exhausted. Great freaking day.
Ouch... I'm really sorry to hear that.... I know that Coke can be refreshing initially but I know its not the best thing in the world for when one is working outside... Hope you feel better soon
Hey guys, long time...much catching up to do...Sorry to hear about ep's mom and flcl's near miss with death. things like this seem to happen in waves, makes me think there's a full moon or something. Even Emergency room doctors and police are down with the phases of the moon, as much as science scoffs at it for superstition, it still seems to have an effect on people's behavior.
Really busy with volunteer work and the occasional contract job. Trying to stay sane in the 100+ degree weather. Trying to stay in shape so I can avoid going on diabetes meds. That sort of thing.
Interesting about the phases of the moon... do you know anything else about that?? and *hug* its great to see you back We missed you! But of course its good you're keeping yourself busy
Ah. Well, like ItSo (gosh, you know it feels weird not calling you Crimson?)
As for myself, I just took myself out to dinner and then a movie. I am not about to make out with myself after driving myself home from said movie (Rush Hour 3), so I'll have to settle for watching the new episode of Zetsubou Sensei that came out instead.
YES it is weird not calling him Crimson! And taking oneself out to dinner and a movie is always fun!
Due to the workloads that we are both facing, it turned out to be a relatively normal day for the most part... looking forward to when we actually can celebrate, once stuff gets finished Good times to come
I hope everyone is having a good night tonight... sorry for the lack of detail. I'll get to that much later
I also want to say thank you to everyone, much appreciated And like he said, it turned out to be a relatively normal day, but we're soooo looking forward to the days of relaxation and hanging out that are coming in the near future together (and *kiss* thank you.... )
Well guys... it's plain enough to see that the Coffeehouse is and should not be expected to be a place where everyone is required or expected to reply to everyone else. It is a place to post your woes and successes, but don't put the burden on us to share it with you. Just because we read something doesn't mean we have to reply to it.
That being said: Sorry about jury duty Mr. Stuff, sorry about your accident FLCL, sorry about your mom ep, sorry about your work Yukora, happy birthday Nemcon, happy anniversary Omna + Arguas, happy birthday Hunter44, sad to see you go sepiriel, and go jump in a river Faerie Lord.
Hey everyone. Just popping in real quick to let everyone know I'm going on vacation tomorrow morning, and my internet access may or may not be limited. I'll see if I can post every now and then on the trip and after I get back.

This is my post for the day because i need intensely to keep focused on my work today.... I've already spent 20 minutes working on this post, and my time is very limited... this is probably the last time I'm going to write a super long post... Here's what my days look like to come:
Today: Work on thesis until 3:30 (PST) and get my nightguard fitted at the dentist, then go out to dinner with my dad, then come back to work until late hours on my thesis
Tomorrow: Work on thesis all day and night - The goal is to finish by then...
Saturday: Thesis is done? Pack up computer.. Thesis not done, work on thesis until 11:30, lunch with family at Red Lobster, then hanging out in Ashland shopping with Mom, then come back, pack, OR work on thesis, then pack up computer.
Sunday: Pack allllllll day
Monday: Morning leave for Portland on the bus at 10:30am get to Portland at 4:30, see a cousin for dinner, then she'll take me to the plane at 10pm, leave at 12, sleep on the plane, get to Boston at 11am Tuesday morning
Tuesday: Morning on plane, afternoon finally at 'home' in Boston.... SEE RYAN! .....then die of exhaustion
Ok, that's my next couple days... wish me luck in surviving until then.. my prime concern right now is working on my thesis... Jumping in shower now to get my brain fired up! Have a good day
I tried to avoid using legends, actually. (I had put Ixidor down for Nagato, initially, but the deck has no Morph creatures in it.) The choices were motivated more by card names than by card abilities or the role of the cards in the Magic Storyline, although there are certainly other ways to build the deck.
I am dehydrated, angry, and exhausted. Great freaking day.
Drink lots of water now and you will feel better!

Sorry Sammy. Didn't mean to ruin yer book. Still, it doesn't provide the detail that a book does.
As for me.. I'm weirded out that D&D 4.0 is gonna come out today. Wild stuff.
And as much as it is similar to Evoke and Channel, I've decided to use Spellshape (the name is subject to change). As follows:
Spellshape <cost> - <effect> (You may play this spell for its spellshape cost for this effect. Put it into your graveyard when it resolves.)
Basically, any time you could play the card, you can play it for its spellshape cost. It is put on the stack like a spell, and can be countered. It still has its original types. If it has flash, it can be played at instant speed.
This lets me put spell-like abilities on creatures, thus increasing the creature ratio of the set. There will be anywhere between 4 and 7 spellshape creatures in the set, and maybe some noncreature (artifact or enchantment) spellshape cards.
Really? cool - although I still play in 2.5 so it won't really affect me
Spellshape <cost> - <effect> (You may play this spell for its spellshape cost for this effect. Put it into your graveyard when it resolves.)
I do like this, although I am not sure that it is clear with the wording that it can't be played at instant speed unless the creature has flash... I dunno - my rules brain is playing up recently, maybe I should get it rewired...
Sorry Sammy. Didn't mean to ruin yer book.
It's ok - just spoiler it next time...

Child: Is this gonna hurt? Doctor: Only if God hates you.
Yeah, the creature has to have flash to be played at instant speed. Think of it like flashback. Flashback's reminder text said nothing of when you could play the card, but it's common knowledge that you could only flash back Firebolt during your turn.
"Gonna come out today" is perhaps a bit misleading; the product announcement is today. Given that they're releasing previews of the system this coming spring, there's probably a good nine months before the product hits at the very minimum.
Sorry I havent been posting much. Havent really been around, and when I am, I dont really have much to say.
D&D 4.0 eh? sounds interesting. I like 3.5 a lot so I can only hope that 4.0 is better.
Tomorrow is the last day for work and I must say, I am going to be a bit teary to say goodbye to a lot of the other lifeguards, as most of them are college kids, unlike myself.
I have looked at some rumours and they all suggest that 4.0 D&D isn't going to change much from 3.5, it is just going to make the D&D minatures more easily integrated into the game....
And it's a shame that it will only be announced today - I am gonna be doing some encouraging people into Hasbro games in the UK in October and it would have been good to take a look at it then, but I guess I'll just have to wait!

Hi again everyone
although i haven't posted in like, forever,
I still have been kinda sorta skimming over posts, and reading the more important-seeming ones, but yeah
I'm not dead...
and I'm done with WoW, at least until wrath of the lich king comes out, so thats like prolly a year or so...
plenty of time to work on my block, which the first set is *nearly* done
Corruption is shaping up...or at least not dissolving into oblivion
i also recently pulled out of a depression thingie, so I have basically a more positive outlook on life now. anywho, i really actually hope to be posting more now, but no promises.
About Lillith'kai and the creature type warlock: I felt that black needed a distinctive caster type, and was originally going to go with necromancer, but warlock is a more umbrella like term for necromancers and other darker casters that aren't quite wizards or clerics, and if you know the etymology of the word(according to wikipedia), it is old English for "oath breaker", and is basically like an exiled druid, making it opposed to green by the nature of the word. Warlock is also more "i need to say this fast and get the point across" kind of word.

Well I'm glad you're feeling better Lilly, and I'm also more glad to be working on Soltera. I've decided that the main keywords for the set will be Spellshape and Ninjutsu, with a nonkeyword theme being on creatures coming into play, leaving play, attacking, and blocking, with a large ratio of creatures vs noncreatures (thanks to spellshape).
I don't care if it's not too terribly original, there's some design space that needs to be abused
@Lillith'Kai - Sweet creature! I'm a little surprised the first ability isn't a replacement effect but thats still a pretty awesome bomb...
As for it being a warlock, neat idea. Though I'd personally just stick to the creature type wizard for simplicity (as zombie already sticks it pretty firmly in B...)
