You know I have been reading the aritcles at MtG.com for along time and I have always thought twice about taking anything that Mike Flores says for granted. But today I just found out that he may in fact be.... retarded.
Firestarter: Which is your favorite Standard planeswalker?Ajani Vengeant is the It Girl of the moment, but I think that Liliana Vess is just waiting for a home, and some young bravo to take her in!
well..um...Liliana isn't entirely bad...er...um..
what bothers me more is that Flores is thinking about young bravos and demonically posessed women. I mean, this IS the internet, land of trash...but....
god, imagine the google links to go alone with that one.

Or maybe the fact that he thinks Ajani is a hot chick.....
He's being ironic, using a term ("It girl") to describe something that is actually a piece of cardboard, and is sexless. The picture on the card is of someone who is not a woman, but the term is still accurate.

Ok, then I guess the new question is;
Is Flores alittle sweet?
I mean you wouldn't catch me dead using oddball terms like the "It Girl".
If something is good and works great, then I say it's a bad-mama-jama.

while bad-mama-jama is a tad more masculine, I wouldn't go so far as to say flores is being sweet; we all use slang in an air headed way from time to time.

Flores often used awkward phrases and similies to convey sometimes complex ideas in a consice, clear, unambiguous way. I can relate to that as I find myself writing in similar ways. However it doesn't make it his writing great; it often detracts from his message.
In this case I think if you understood what "It Girl" referenced it made great sense. Otherwise it seemed very awkward. Typical Flores.
Note: Flores is awkward. My vote on his intellect is still out.
Yes. A thousand times yes. They lured me in with Ivory Tower and Zuran Orb, and I kept telling myself "I can quit whenever I want...just look at that untapped disk". That was ten years ago man.....
And no one else would understand what you mean. Everyone Everyone except you knows what Flores means by "The It Girl".
Yeah but maybe that's because I'm from the South (Texas to be exact) and the South is much more masculinaty observate and aware. You wouldn't catch any guy down here wearing pink cloths unless.... well you should get the idea.
So maybe I didn't know what the term meant, and now that I do... well it just seems a little "limp-wristed."

I'm from the south as well, though not as far down as texas(I'm a yank comparitively).
seriously, he's just using the slang for what it is. everyone busts those akward phrases everynow and then.
I mean, does anyone remember "your the man now, dog?"

It was more like, "Youda Man G!" down here.
But yeah, I have said some silly things in my time. Like, "Has anyone seen my pipe?" during Thanksgiving dinner a few years ago.... yeah good thing my Grandma doesn't know any better...:D
He's not normally retarded. He was retarded (or drunk, or stoned, or something) when he said that covenant of minds was better than tidings, but normally he knows more or less what he's talking about.

epic lulz.
ya know what they say about texas. nothing but steers and queers. and i don't see any steers around.
ya know what else is seen as "limp-wristed"? dudes that are overly masculine who seem a little too obsessed with other guys. but hey, i'm just calling it like i see it.
*shudder* I think the homosexual term is "Bear," which means a big hairy gey dude.
Very disturbing though.
Maybe you're just uncomfortable with your own sexuality and taking it way too seriously. That's worth considering too.
Ajani may not be immediately amazing in top decks, but certainly the card could have potential. It's not terribly expensive, it screws up aggressive decks and in itself contains a possible win condition. Certainly it at least has a chance to possibly shine.
That's the difference between pro players and net deckers. Net Deckers just do whatever they're told is good with little or no question, they don't change the playing environment or add new ideas to it. Pro players actually think of the new ideas for net deckers to blindly follow.
I'm sure if Ajani does actually show up in some tier 1 deck in the next few months, everyone will insist they knew that Ajani had potential from day 1. I guess it's just how CCGs work, the netdeckers do the same thing in yugioh too.

Texas has a big enough gay population that this thread is amusing.
She has a big body, her first ability is the most powerful of all first ability, IMO, and her second and 3rd abilities are also really really good.
It does not take much to win with her, her only downside is the casting cost. (which I guess is true for most cards ;))
I mean you wouldn't catch me dead using oddball terms like the "It Girl".

really? lol. i wouldn't have thought of "it girl" as oddball. i thought you were just being sarcastic at first but it sounds like you're being a bit hateful actually.
anyway, flores has been the pro-tour numerous more times than myself so i won't comment.

Flores uses lots of weird slangnesses and phrases, but he also says things for noobs in his complex articles.... which is weird.

Tis life I guess....
I'm not much of a "Sigger", but this is damned close to being worth it...
Flores is intelligent, if overrated. He's a good writer, and a mediocre Magic player (and a terrible strategist).

Yes i am the same guy who trades/sells on MOTL AND Wizards of the Coast and i trade on POJO.
So Flores has a bigger vocabulary than you. Possibly because he's, you know, not a moron.
