I hope remand is in MM so i can get one for cheap. Id be getting like 12 to 16 copies if they drop to like 2 bucks.
I love the card, but too expensive for me.
How does mpo control play together? Ive never heard of it? It sounds like come controlley tempo or jus tempo that might not always have a threat. Weird.

Remand... O_o ... OK, so the card is decent for tempo control, but I still don't get it... $10 for one. Why??? Is it used that much & is in such high demand? After I took a 4 year hiatus from Magic, I got back into the game @ Ravnica block. Remand's were 50 cents, @ most. Sometimes I just don't understand why uncommons jump so high.
Wait... I rhymed (remand/demand)... I'm a poet & not even aware of it...
Just picked up Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate today. No life for me for a while. If you play, you can catch me on there late night/early morning CST under the name 'bob'. Happy hunting!
My group is making something called makeshift magic.
Essentially, we use to vintage banlist, and make a tournament.
Card Pool: Vintage
60 cards minimum
No sideboard
Evolving banlist:
At the end of each match, winners will have cards from their deck banned:
1st place - 3 cards
2nd place - 2 cards
3rd place - 1 card
The cards banned are decided on by a popular vote of each other player. No one can play any of the banned cards for the rest of the season.
Lands that only have mana abilities cannot be banned.
Whoever participates in a given week does a Best-of-3 round robin with the constructed deck they have brought. Placing is determined by highest number of game wins. In the event of a tie, the player with fewer game losses will place better. In the event the win and loss totals are tied, those players will share a place, and the next player down will get their predetermined place (e.g., if two players tie for 1st, the next player gets 3rd, not 2nd).
How would anyone proceed?
I could make a control/agro deck and keep replacing banned cards, eventually making it worse and worse. Then I could switch decks when I can't play the deck anymore. Or I could pull a new deck every time (sadly, where I live, shipping takes longer than the time between two tournaments. I could order for 4 weeks in advance and hope nothing gets banned/get extras.
I want to try out a new idea where each day I pick a random card of the day. It's no secret that johnnies and casual players like to try making bad cards work. So, once a day I will pick a random card from gatherer, then I will list it in this thread and in the casual forum. Then everyone can post responses with cards or decklists that go well with the card of the day.
If you have any questions or comments about this idea, feel free to respond.
The card that I picked for today is a tough one to make work. It is the dreaded Clay Statue.

See, I usually consider a Johnny, but stuff like that doesn't really interest me. I like making interesting things out of interesting things. Not taking bland things and pretending to make them interesting. Making a cool deck with Maelstrom Nexus is cool. Elephant Esurgance Casual deck Contest I managed to make it interesting because it was a sorcery that made a token, not a creature. But when I see a "lets make Scaled Wurm interesting" I wanna bite my fingers off.
/end rant
As a self proclaimed Johnny, I feel like the take random card, make it interesting would be cool. But in practice, so many cards are vanilla that it gets kinda boring. How many times can you make Vanilla Ice cream interesting that isn't adding topping to it.
/really end rant
I think we should each post a couple of our casual decks!

Well it's going to be a random card every day, so some days will be interesting and some days will be Scaled Wurm.

Just remember that if you have a link to our clan thread in your signature, be sure to update it with the new thread! I just realized that my signature was linking to our last one.
After discussion amongst the Clan Council, the moderators here have decided to remove the double posting rule. Spamming is still not allowed, as per the rest of the site, but we felt that the double posting rule was unintuitive and no longer served the purpose it was implemented for.

Wow, that's awesome... hope it's not abused...

J/K. I jest... HEY all, I've just designed a really strange deck that I think can be fun. I really tried to make sure it's not a 1 trick pony, so the pony does many tricks that are along the dame line(s): Give 'Em Swamps & then Punish 'Em...
Does this deck (I use "deck" in the loosest way, lol) even look playable and/or fun? I am going to pick up played/moderately played Collectors Editions of the Cyclopean Tombs, if I ever throw this silly monstrosity together.
Oh, & once all of you get to know me better, you'll soon realize I design decks waayyy quicker than I make them. I hope to someday have my deck constructor side catch up to my designer side... *sigh* only in dreams...

How do I make the change in the "Edit Sig" part of my User CP?
Wait... is triple posting OK, or am I in the dog house?
The random card for 3/27 is a Swamp, then I decided to choose another random card and got Gauntlet of Power.
I would probably use the gauntlet for my version of Elfball. The elves help to get the gauntlet out on turn three or four. Then the elves get bigger from the gauntlet. And while your opponent is trying to fend off all of your elves, you finish them off with a big Fireball.
I could have sworn I updated mine and the code in the OP... I'll double check though.
TEIN - What's wrong with vanilla ice cream? It's my favorite.
Theres nothing wrong with it, but if you want to impress someone with your creative cooking skills, i dont think you want to make something with vanilla icecream. Youll either do something not creative cause you have such a (relatively) bland ingredient as base. Or assuming you have the skill to make something grand starting with that, you might probably do something better with a less boring strting ingredient.
I understand that this one is obvious. "I would put it in a white weenie deck".
I also understand that there is a card that makes this one obsolete. But feel free to post a combo or decklist with this card if you think it is interesting. For example, maybe you have a deck that uses the combo Crusade + Meekstone + Kismet + Whim of Volrath.
One of my 64 casual decks uses Crusade, so I will go ahead and post the decklist:

The card that I picked for today is a tough one to make work. It is the dreaded Clay Statue.
I would probably do something like Clay Statue + Blade of the Bloodchief + Savage Twister, then make the rest of the deck green creature ramp like Sakura-Tribe Elder and red burn.
Etherium Sculptor + Sol Ring = Cheap as Free.
I actually don't think that Clay Statue is that bad of a card.

The random card for 3-25-13 is Shoreline Salvager
He could be fun with Infiltration Lens. Gives the opponent something to think about.
Or just make him unblockable.

The random card for 3-26-13 is Hypersonic Dragon
