Love you Manders for the pretty map! And ofc Chubbz for making it even cooler (twice lol).
And it's still not done -.-
Quote from GearSmasher »
You guys really live close together on that map. But I realised I was wrong and that in real life, it isn't that close haha. Altough DK seems already far away on that map..so no gaymers in west-US?
Not yet? (on the map anyway)

I knew the puppydog eyes trick would work *snicker*. Can you make me a very beautiful one?:P
Or My obsessive Addiction to CS5 (refer to custom) now if there was chocolate milk in this thread >_> (i pray no one goes for the obv milk jokes :V)
what exactly defines beautiful? (have fun with that definition)

Hahah I so laughed at this. Blue you're so hillarious XD. I think they like motors and beer.
Stereotypically yes. I'd take a Motherboard and a Jones Soda (green apple Preferably) over that
No problem, hon. Once we find out where Nai's moving to, we can show you where he lives, too. Right now, he's in CO (Colorado). He may be moving to another part of CO or LA (Louisiana).
Oh, I forgot. Shinigami's way up there in WA (Washington) in the Northwest corner of the country. Can't think of anyone else.
Keep me informed and i'll add more flags. MOAR FLAGS

While this is true of a lot of straight men, not my Jake.
See the common misconception about baseball is that it's meant to be watched. Baseball is meant to be enjoyed by going to the staduim, enjoying the sun, eating hot dogs, and getting drunk. Or as backround noise to a BBQ. You're not actually supposed to pay attention to the game.
so what about people who can't/don't want to drink? (both in my case :V)
oh, not like sports
TL;DR: if you want to be put on the Gaymers Map either post or PM me with where you would like to be placed

Wait, what is the first pic of? Looks like a major city to me.
Ah, but the second pic, that's what I'm talking about! God, it's so gorgeous. I have got to make it to Europe one day!
In that case, I would watch football all day long lol!
Oh, who you tellin? *Imagines Brett Favre playing pants-less* *Drools*
I find it very strange that I'm so turned on by him because I don't go for older men. But, I've loved him since he wasn't an older man, so that probably helps.

This is the absolute truth. I've never understood men who can actually watch baseball on TV. (my dad. Blah) Now, I will go to a baseball game in a heartbeat because the fun is not in the game, it's the camaraderie.
makes it hard to appreciate what the players are doing when they're not scoring.
Everyone knows how much we Americans love to score...:D
What sort of point do you expect from sports? I totally agree that people who get fanatical about sports and know every single stat and endlessly talk about players and teams and trades and all that garbage can actually be a turn off. But that doesn't mean you can't sit down and get a little excited about an individual match.
The man speaks truth, Micah. You just gotta find a game you're interested in.
Hey, BOO - You dont have to lurk, you know. :3

That's what I was waiting for!
so what about people who can't/don't want to drink? (both in my case :V)
oh, not like sports
Pish, you don't have to drink to enjoy a baseball game in a stadium. Trust me, I don't drink beer, and that's all they offer.
Man, I want to go to a baseball game now. Thanks a lot guys!
Manders: Don't forget that Spiderboy is in Illinois too.
MandKrajake: I like tennis. i like watching it because you can see the individual decisions they make that win or lose them the game. The skill involved is impressive and the athleticism needed is equally so. I also like their bodies
I also like men's gymnasty Greg. And volleyball (team, sand, men's women's w/e)
Ok so the goal is to abuse training grounds + Spawnsire. But how do you do that? Spawnsire already costs so much mana it's hard to cast let alone activate the crap out of it. The good news is if you have two training grounds in play the spawnsire goes infinite. And with skill borrower letting you activate this from the top of your library it only costs 3 to cast AND can go infinite (on a really good draw) by turn 4. Should win the game casting 4 Ulamogs + 3 emrakuls on turn 4.
Sphinx of Magosi + Training grounds is already good but with Skill Borrower in play you could get several card draws, pump the borrower and still play the sphinx.
Jace is very important in this deck because it lets you put Spawns of Ulamog back on top of your library. I wish there were more effects like this but See Beyond is all I could think of. Deprive is in there because once you get the combo going, lands don't really matter.
Dreamstone hedron might get replaced out for more countermagic. Something maindeck that stops maelstrom pulse other than deprive would be good.
Tezzeret functions as more skill borrowers honestly. Might take it down to 2 unless I can find a cheap artifact to go fetch with it or something with a better control function. Where's Ensnaring bridge when you need it!
Manders: Don't forget that Spiderboy is in Illinois too.
Pish, didn't know he was there, so can't really remember it, can I?

Oh and curling. Morbidly intriguing to watch.
And ping pong.
I suppose I could say at least you like some sports, lol.
Indeed they are. The American twins (can't remember their names right now). I like them.
I can't afford to make any jokes now right...I mean I'm asking a favor....Ofc Manders! But I can't post her on the forum, privacy and stuff y'know...so I'd like Jace, the Mind Sculptor...and flowers! Or something with Day of Judgement is nice aswell. Use your imagination a lot (no naked women plz)
Oh, he's really good at using his imagination. I almost never give him anything. Like, for the sig I have now, I told him I wanted something special and just for me. Literally, that's all I told him. And he created this perfect display of me and my purple. Love it!
Oh my, I'd love that idea haha. Then everyone in Gaymers is in USA, a few in Canada and me as sole survivor in Holland haha.
Knowing Jake, he'll have it ready in no time.
Although, I just remembered that Jake forgot to tell you guys about his new job!
Oh it's both the same city but both from a different point of view. The first picture is a little bit misleading cause Leeuwarden isn't really that big of a city like New York wich is OVER 9000 times bigger:P But it's a pretty city though:P
Oh, lol. Yeah, they look completely different!
Haha well you got a nice older man there right...most probably one of the best out there. I WANT HIM ON THE FIELD NOW! (without clothes ofc.)
I thought he might get some love in here.
Actually pretty far, but I have drivers license:P
Haha, excellent! Road trip in Europe!
Oh I came up with a gayniaal (geniaal = brilliant) idea! Let's have a Hot GAYMER of the week contest! Who is the hottest gaymer?:P (manders don't say Chubbz beforehand..)
I vote Kraj! Everytime I look at his profile pic, I get all gooshy inside. It's so cute!
Speaking of, I'm sad I lost my position as his favorite person, but at least it went to a quote that is oh, so true, lol.
Gearsmasher: How far is "pretty far" remember we can drive 6 hours in Texas and STILL BE IN TEXAS. So we know a thing or two about road trips.
Hottest gaymer. Hrm. Probably JJ or Chase. But I'm not complaining about anyone else posting pics to try to sway my vote
Ok uh...what else in that tl;dr (btw just learned what that meant yesterday thanks Jake)
I also like Basketball.
Also: it's only about an hour from Leeuwarden to Amsterdam. Yay! That's like a morning commute to work hah.
Good luck getting me to go to Europe though Amanda. Psh.
Also: My deck, there aren't any useful creatures with level up to play. I'd rather just have more protection for the combo. And you shouldn't need to cast anything other than the sideboard to win. If you do, something went terribly wrong. You cast 4 ulamogs and destroy 4 permanents. Then you cast 3 emrakuls and take 3 extra turns and end up with one 15/15 with annihilator 6 in play. If you can't win with three turns of attacking with emrakul then something went terribly wrong again. ALSO if you stack it correctly you can go infinite with Spawnsire, draw a card, then cast Spawnsire and just win with him.
Hottest Gaymer? Well we have plenty of cuties here, but Gigaguess is like a really good plate of General Tso's Chicken. The perfect blend of sweet and hot.

Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
The Golden Rule of forums: If you're going to be rude, be right. If you might be wrong, be polite.
Blue: Cool idea. I've seen Filigree Sages combo'd with Khalni Gem to get the same sort of result. A few minor changes that might strengthen it (all ideas suggested humbly):
If you're focusing on getting Spawnsire to go off, a stronger SB is needed. Since the 3 big bad eldrazi are all legendary, it's unnecessary to bring them both in, unless you're wanting to get multiple turns of Emrakul or something. So maybe add in an Artisan of Kozilek or two and some of the smaller stuff.
Essence Scatter has been cut out entirely in a lot of decks. With Deprive now in, Negate as a 2-3 of is the way to go.
Spreading Seas is a meta choice. If your area has tons of multi or eldrazi decks, run 4. This one's your call.
MB:
Planeswalkers
You've got lots of planeswalkers, but no way to defend them against threats like Vengevine. If you're not willing to splash removal, Wall of Frost is an overlooked but not terrible card. Unless your PW are there to do one thing and then vanish, they need some board presence to keep them around.
Hedron vs. Chalice
Dreamstone Hedron is sub-optimal compared to Everflowing Chalice. I've tested this one a lot, maybe 25-30 games or so, and in the end I found I was always cut short on getting to the Hedron, or once I did tap out to get it, I was left open with no counter magic available. Chalice at 2 or even 1 can still be a decent play, and using one chalice to pump another isn't bad. You've got Jace, so the card draw from the Hedron is irrelevant.
Halimar Depths
If you're going to run 4 deprives, run 4 Halimar Depths. You can cut out some ponders and free a few more slots. Throw in a few fetch lands, say, 2 Misty Rainforests and 1-2 Scalding Tarns for the shuffle ability so that Halimar + Fetchland + Deprive = ponder, more or less. It also makes deprive's drawback hurt less.
Tectonic Edges
Lastly, if you're running a mono-colour, you can probably get away with supporting some Tec Edges. Seeing as you have no other way to stop manlands, that might not be a bad idea.
/deep breath
Ok, I probably went into waaaay too much detail about that, but I've been magic deprived lately and needed a release.
HGotW
I'm flattered. I don't see it, but I'm flattered anyways If you guys play your cards right (lol pun) I see a Magic photoshoot with just a few well-positioned Black Lotuses to keep it tasteful :P.

I don't think a better sideboard is needed personally I think the maindeck needs work. Might put an all is dust in there though. (I'd cast everything in my board all at once. Cast Emrakul 3 times. Two die and I'm left with one. Cast ulamog 4 times (or just three with the all is dust being used instead and the same thing happens 2 die and one comes in to swing). I don't see the point in any of the other Eldrazi when an Ulamog and 3 extra turns seems like it'll do the trick.
Edit: I mean as far as the eldrazi spells I'm using, I don't think a better board is needed other than all is dust
Essence Scatter has been cut out entirely in a lot of decks. With Deprive now in, Negate as a 2-3 of is the way to go.
Problem is I need answers to creatures not instants. While Maelstrom Pulse is a worry since I need two training grounds in play to make it work I have flashfreeze in the board for that. I will consider it though, I've just never really been a fan of countermagic.
Spreading Seas is a meta choice. If your area has tons of multi or eldrazi decks, run 4. This one's your call.
Lol my area. You're cute. I don't play this anywhere but MWS and only against MAYBE 5 people (Greg, Chase, Amanda, you and Jake ...sometimes Jake's twinbrodan). So there's not really a meta. Spreading seas could be better than see beyond for card draw purposes but I think see beyond's shuffle back in effect is very useful.

Planeswalkers

Tezzeret doesn't really count because he comes into play and immediately fetches a skill borrower. Jace will need protection though.
Hedron vs. Chalice
Dreamstone Hedron is sub-optimal compared to Everflowing Chalice. I've tested this one a lot, maybe 25-30 games or so, and in the end I found I was always cut short on getting to the Hedron, or once I did tap out to get it, I was left open with no counter magic available. Chalice at 2 or even 1 can still be a decent play, and using one chalice to pump another isn't bad. You've got Jace, so the card draw from the Hedron is irrelevant.
Eh. It's more that If skill borrower is in play and hedron is the top card of the deck I get to tap borrower for 3 mana. It has not proven to be necessary in any games so it may get cut for Khalni Gem and some of the sphinx for Sages. (Sages were in there originally and were going to abuse the untaps for skill borrower then immediately draw with them all on the stack so i could abuse all those untaps with some other activated ability from the top of the deck.) So now I think sages goes back in and Khalni gem replaces hedron to give me a backup combo.
Halimar Depths
If you're going to run 4 deprives, run 4 Halimar Depths. You can cut out some ponders and free a few more slots. Throw in a few fetch lands, say, 2 Misty Rainforests and 1-2 Scalding Tarns for the shuffle ability so that Halimar + Fetchland + Deprive = ponder, more or less. It also makes deprive's drawback hurt less.
Especially in this curve Halimar Depths shouldn't hurt too much. Also works REALLY well with borrower Good idea!
Tectonic Edges
Lastly, if you're running a mono-colour, you can probably get away with supporting some Tec Edges. Seeing as you have no other way to stop manlands, that might not be a bad idea.
Why isn't Pithing needle legal :(. Manlands aside, what does tectonic edges do? If I'm using spreading seas it could be a great way to use mana denial as a control strategy.
/deep breath
Ok, I probably went in too much but. I've been deprived lately and needed a release.
Understandible.

Hottest Gaymer? Well we have plenty of cuties here, but Gigaguess is like a really good plate of General Tso's Chicken. The perfect blend of sweet and hot.
The last time I posted here was around Dissension. Here's what's happened in the meantime:
I moved to America with my mother. I started taking college classes. I finished high school. I continued taking college classes, now as an official college student. My mother moved back to Portugal. I got a boyfriend. A year later, I broke up with him. A year later, I got another boyfriend. (This happened last week.)
When I moved to America, I dropped Magic (for semi-obvious reasons), and I didn't think about it until a few months ago, when I reconnected with my now-boyfriend. (Backstory: he was a random hookup a couple years ago. I was a douchehole and said some mean things to him, because I was stupid, immature, and freaking out a little about him being my first. So, the two year gap ensued. Then, we reconnected randomly, and he plays Magic. So, he got me back into the game. And here I am.)
Any questions?
Wow. Congratulations. Congratulations. Congratulations. sorry to hear that. Congratulations. Sorry to hear that. Welcome back!
So how are you liking America and college? Do you miss your Mom?
Whoa, it definitely suits you! are you having more fun yet? I want to know if the rumours are true! I'm half azn so if I go blond, I end up looking like I'm the result of failed North Korean nuclear testing.
Oh, and hi Gaymers! It's been ages since I've been 'round these parts*. I've been gone from Sally for over a year and I feel like I've been missing out! It's good to see some fresh faces but where have some of my old faves gone?!
@HGoTW: I really want to vote Dark Knigt atm...but blue's new picture...hmm....if blue let's his beard grow a little bigger....but DK got the rough manly look, and he has black hair too wich is awesome aswell hm.....I dunno I choose both^^
Oh wow....
Yeah, I feel lame without my beard. I had to shave it because I didn't have the space to bring all of my shaving equipment with me (like my trimmer and the charger and whatnot). I feel naked. Definitely growing it back when I get to the states though.
That picture is from a long time ago. I'm uploading a new one.
Trenton *reaches out hand to you* It's been....so long! Welcome back!! *glomp*
Where you been fool >_<
Kraj...did you watch SYTYCD this week? So I know they're trying really hard to make Kent look straight but....I'm still not buying it. Thoughts?
DK You better get a newer picture :-P
And, you should never see me with a beard. I hate them -_- so I shave every couple of days. And black hair doesn't look good on me cuz I'm so wretchedly pale Sounds like DK is the winner here :-D

I also like men's gymnasty Greg. And volleyball (team, sand, men's women's w/e)
Oh and curling. Morbidly intriguing to watch.

Also:
here's a deck i just made. What do you think??
24 Island
Creatures
4 Skill Borrower
4 Spawnsire of Ulamog
2 Sphinx of Magosi
Spells
4 Jace the Mind Sculptor
3 Tezzeret the Seeker
4 Training Grounds
4 See Beyond
4 Deprive
4 Ponder
3 Dreamstone Hedron
4 Flashfreeze
4 Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre
3 Emrakul, the Aeons Torn
4 Essence Scatter

Should win the game casting 4 Ulamogs + 3 emrakuls on turn 4.

She knows why.
If you're focusing on getting Spawnsire to go off, a stronger SB is needed. Since the 3 big bad eldrazi are all legendary, it's unnecessary to bring them both in, unless you're wanting to get multiple turns of Emrakul or something. So maybe add in an Artisan of Kozilek or two and some of the smaller stuff.
Essence Scatter has been cut out entirely in a lot of decks. With Deprive now in, Negate as a 2-3 of is the way to go.

Dreamstone Hedron is sub-optimal compared to Everflowing Chalice.

I'm flattered. I don't see it, but I'm flattered anyways If you guys play your cards right (lol pun) I see a Magic photoshoot with just a few well-positioned Black Lotuses to keep it tasteful :P.
There's a decent group of local gamers who play magic. The town's not too exciting, honestly, but sometimes the quiet life is good.

I don't think a better sideboard is needed personally I think the maindeck needs work. Might put an all is dust in there though. (I'd cast everything in my board all at once. Cast Emrakul 3 times. Two die and I'm left with one. Cast ulamog 4 times (or just three with the all is dust being used instead and the same thing happens 2 die and one comes in to swing). I don't see the point in any of the other Eldrazi when an Ulamog and 3 extra turns seems like it'll do the trick.
Edit: I mean as far as the eldrazi spells I'm using, I don't think a better board is needed other than all is dust
Problem is I need answers to creatures not instants. While Maelstrom Pulse is a worry since I need two training grounds in play to make it work I have flashfreeze in the board for that. I will consider it though, I've just never really been a fan of countermagic.
Lol my area. You're cute. I don't play this anywhere but MWS and only against MAYBE 5 people (Greg, Chase, Amanda, you and Jake ...sometimes Jake's twinbrodan). So there's not really a meta. Spreading seas could be better than see beyond for card draw purposes but I think see beyond's shuffle back in effect is very useful.
Tezzeret doesn't really count because he comes into play and immediately fetches a skill borrower. Jace will need protection though.
Eh. It's more that If skill borrower is in play and hedron is the top card of the deck I get to tap borrower for 3 mana. It has not proven to be necessary in any games so it may get cut for Khalni Gem and some of the sphinx for Sages. (Sages were in there originally and were going to abuse the untaps for skill borrower then immediately draw with them all on the stack so i could abuse all those untaps with some other activated ability from the top of the deck.) So now I think sages goes back in and Khalni gem replaces hedron to give me a backup combo.
Especially in this curve Halimar Depths shouldn't hurt too much. Also works REALLY well with borrower Good idea!
Why isn't Pithing needle legal :(. Manlands aside, what does tectonic edges do? If I'm using spreading seas it could be a great way to use mana denial as a control strategy.
Understandible.

Hiii!
Oh Micah, remember what happened last time I did that? Did those stains ever come out?!
Whoa, it definitely suits you! are you having more fun yet? I want to know if the rumours are true! I'm half azn so if I go blond, I end up looking like I'm the result of failed North Korean nuclear testing.
Oh, and hi Gaymers! It's been ages since I've been 'round these parts*. I've been gone from Sally for over a year and I feel like I've been missing out! It's good to see some fresh faces but where have some of my old faves gone?!

She knows why.
Oh wow....
Yeah, I feel lame without my beard. I had to shave it because I didn't have the space to bring all of my shaving equipment with me (like my trimmer and the charger and whatnot). I feel naked. Definitely growing it back when I get to the states though.
That picture is from a long time ago. I'm uploading a new one.
Thanks to the [Æther] shop for the sig!
Where you been fool >_<
Kraj...did you watch SYTYCD this week? So I know they're trying really hard to make Kent look straight but....I'm still not buying it. Thoughts?
DK You better get a newer picture :-P
And, you should never see me with a beard. I hate them -_- so I shave every couple of days. And black hair doesn't look good on me cuz I'm so wretchedly pale Sounds like DK is the winner here :-D
Also, hello The End Is Near!
