Good stuff in there... always wanted a Karmic Guide, and more Sol Rings and Command Towers can't hurt. And I'm sure many of the new cards will find their home in some decks around here.
Definitely getting the Esper one. It has everything I want except the green tempt card. Still ticked about the Eye of Doom not being Fate counters.
@Elfster: I hope you all are already crafting away if not thinking of something for your giftee. I have to get all of the participants something too, so I too am thinking about all of you.
@Papercraft Clan Title Contest: Please remember that the deadline is in 2 weeks. So if you haven't started, please get cracking. If no one has made any progress by Monday 10/28, as a backup I'll be starting another anime 20 questions... Except this time it'll be 20 questions regarding anime and you'll have to PM me the answers. The first person to get all 20 questions correct will have the right to the title. You will get a 1 chance re-submit where I tell you which ones you got wrong and you have a chance to try again. I do not imagine it will be very fun for most of you, so please try the papercraft.
EDIT: Slow times indeed... @Commander Product: I think that Esper, Bant and Grixis will be the more sought after decks...
Question you guys might know. On this site, how do you search for non-creature artifacts? I need to know so I don't have to slog through 1200+ pages...
Busy times! Everybody is so busy! This week finally calms down for me so I can perhaps do something for PG's paper contest. As well as practicing piano for a gig on Halloween.

Well there's only 1 week til I want anyone who is crafting something to tell me if they've made any progress on this month's contest... If not, it's back to 20 anime questions... I might throw in an Extra Credit Magic lore question too...
Even more important than planning ahead for next month's thread title, we need more work on the clan contest. Head over to the QT people and get cracking! Ideas are flowing, so we just need to hone in the details!
@Commander 2013: I can't wait for the release. It makes me a little sad that there was nothing for Kaalia, but I look forward to trying to build with some of the new generals. Like Oloro lifegain.dek.
It was in the spirit of the clan contest. You're probably the only one who wouldn't be amused by it, which is why I told you not to click it. And it's an impossibility to stop dragging anime into things because just look at my screen name...
pet snake has added to the story!
Let's in the meantime forget about anime and whether we love or hate it and get some more progress made on this contest people! :teamwork::devo:
The tradition of burning an effigy on November 5 started as a state sponsored anti-Catholic thing. Correct?
As far as I'm seeing, they started using blackface because there weren't many black actors around the late 1800s to early 1900s. It had nothing to do with racism... in fact, the stories I'm reading of Black Pete Santa had freed him. So again I ask, why use black face?
It just seems like there wouldn't be a problem without the blackface. Just use a black actor.
In some cultures, (and in a very few still), there were traditions of human sacrifices. Many of those cultures are still around, but have changed the tradition a bit, because, well, duh. It was once a tradition in many southern states to burn crosses. Now that is frowned upon for obvious reasons. White guy in blackface is racist as all get out. Especially with the red lipstick. Black people don't look like that. Even so, it still perpetuates a nasty stereo type.
A black Guy playing a freed slave isn't. The tradition would still be there.

Of course I don't vote GL. That's ridiculous. Also, if you vote PVDA or VVD, D66, SGP or CU, I will slap you. Hard. In the ear. They are responsible for the crap we are in now.
As for the Zwarte Piet/Black Peter discussion, of course some people from the UN racism commission thought it was racist. They're blacks! It's like putting vegetarians in a commission to investigate meat!
Also, the whole UN thing. Ridiculous. Why would you compare our Black Peter to blackface? We never did it to make fun of anybody. FFS, we didn't even have Jim Crow laws. I'm going to start a junta.

I can't believe there are cards from Portal Three Kingdoms. Those decks will be expensive.
EDIT: @DQ: Try 'Artifact -Creature' in the type line.

Same reason why we the English are supposed to burn an effigy of a Dead Catholic every November 5th Tradition.
