votan: how does that work? how do you become a TO?
Z: Im gonna get 3 or 4 pithing needles myself but Im gonna have an easy time getting them as my playgroup is quite casual so it isnt a very powerfull card
salem: that sucks.. I have exam preparations for the exam I have on thursday but Im just sitting at school playing magic
But the plan sounds good but it does sound kind of unnesserry Anyone should be able to keep without magic for a short while

Welcome back, SG. Too bad you can't get to FNM. Do you plan on playing any of the big tourneys coming up? I am going to be in Dago for a PTQ sometime during the summer, so if you're interested, you can stop by and say hey.
@Zack: I am trying to get needles. I have 3 now and would like more. If I can find xtra's, I'll let you know.8^)
@Salem: I like the sneakiness of your plot, although to ensure that you are not caught, maybe just take a deck or two and leave the rest there. Subtlety is elegant.
@Riley: What a bummer!! I would love to work in a cemetary:cool: I already work Graveyard shift anyway.;) It truly sucks though that you cannot gain employment due to your age. Have you tried fast food joints and department stores. The work at these places sucks ass, but you do get paid and money in the pocket ain't nuthin to be snuffed at.
@Luis: Its all good man. Hope you had a good date and all, abstinentially speaking, of course!:p
Such a shame that it has been demonized by mainstream religions.
Well, I am about to embark upon my weekend. I will be sorting all of my cards and building all of my Regionals test decks and begin testing. If anyone is interested in sharing info, just let me know. I will be back in a couple days. Catch y'all later:cool: :fingers:
I had a faint idea about what Wicca was, but luis's posts above somehow made me search the net for the basics of wicca and read them. I wish I could believe those kind of things. They come a lot closer to what I find believable than christianity or other such religions. Still, I just can't get myself to believe in things that I can't prove scientifically...
I actually have no idea when or where the National Qualifiers are in the Netherlands :S Morwen? Mortius? Anyone?
All I could find was France, I do not know if there are more for the Neatherlands. Anyway here is the link for the french ones:
Going to Pomona then MaRo? I might. I go to all PRs and most of the PTQs in San Diego although I skip some of the constucted ones as frankly I am a much better limited play and just suck at constuced but I give it a try anyway if I have a deck or if someone loans.
As far as the stealing the cards, sure, try it if you like.
i'm going to try to avoid working at any restaurant for now
im trying to find a job somewhere else now, beccause i need money to get a computer and an xbox 360, plus i need to start buying magic cards more. i havent bought any in 4 months or so.
grimclaw, you could try going to magicthegathering.com

I am in france, if I had any new cards I might even go just for old times sake.
Salem:Good plan
I like Wicca more then the other mainstream religions, their is just more to like about it.
I have found a good way to earn money:People at my school are amazed at how cheap things are in America, so I just import stuff for them and make a profit.
I went out to Nice today with some friends, walked around, got something to eat and finally saw Sin city which was really good.

I pulled absolute drap at the release event last night. My rares were Tides of War (Which I have a personal vendetta against, so it's ironic that I keep pulling them), Rally the Horde, the green legendary enchantment flip guy (useless), the rare equipment that makes the creature untargetable and takes no combat damage, and a Soulblast. The souldblast was the only usefull one, it actually won me the only game I cast it in. My creature count was low because my creatures were spread out over 4 colors. I eventually settled on W/R.
What really gets me is that everyone around me (except joey) got great stuff. One kid, who couldn't play well to sace his life, got enough good stuff to make at least 3 differant builds. All of which could have kicked my ass. Thats such a waste of a good card pool. He even got money cards for after the draft. Gifts and Extraction. The gorl next to me opened in her tournoment pack 8.5 tails, Kodama of the north tree, and gifts. tfw? How do I get stuck with Tides of War?
Probably the only fun thing that night was that I actually flipped the Tenderfoot I had played just to up the creature number. I had a no-dachi to gove him first strike. he's very handy when he is flipped.
I also decided to try and get a decent binder again, now that I know I will be moving for cellege in the fall. I am going to try and trade away all my VS System stuff ($150 worth roughly) for Magic. I can't wait for Origins, it's a little more than 3 weeks away!

I would love to know the tech too. I love to build decks, no matter how bad they might be. Heck I made a list for MWC in T2 yesterday. (I know, the meta is all wrong for it, I just wanted to know what it would look like) So I may be able to help with a deck for it.
Bel: Ya, 9th looks decent. But I really want Ravnica.

I am also testing out CoK block decks right now and have a few that show promise (though they are far from completed) although I haven't tested any of the cards from SoK. If anyone has idea's/comment's about constructed SoK (other than Pithing Needle) feel free to let me know.

At this point if I were playing Block, I would have to go with some sort of Mono Black contraption. You've got:
Extraction
Kokusho
Rends
Hand of Cruelty
Choice of Damnation
The -1/-1 enchantment (and its cousin the -2/-2 sorcery)
Edit: How could I forget that lovable clock Nezumi Cutthroat
Thats all I can think of, but it's enough to sell me. I'd also probably run Needle (obv.) and Top.
There's also the red 'Geddon deck, and I think WW has a shot...maybe.
But hey, what do I know, I've never even played Block.

Well, I fianally checked out the IRC room. It's cool. I have to use the wicked wicked IE to use ti though. FOr some reason Mozilla has a **** fit over Java. meh.
Anyway, I'll be absent the next couple days. I have college orientation. Class sign ups and whatnot. I'll see you guys around.

Votan: Please send the list to me. The place I play at is having a block tournament in about a month, and I need to at least have a block deck to play. Verdant Force is going to help green, but green didn't really need it that much. Wizards must print base set list without looking at the current enviroment. Regardless, Verdant Force is going to be really good in Type 2 if it does what I think it does.
zombifyme: Well, you would simply need to apply and then we would vote on you but I dont think that you would get voted in as we dont know you very well and I think we may be full anyway.. and also its quite a waiting list to get in as Project Mayhem seems to be getting quite prestigies
chuklez: Congratz. I will join the chatroom once I get a proper irc adress and dont have to use the crappy java client
Votan: I talked to grimclaw about the secret plans and he liked them:) So I guess that means we will be setting them into motion when I come back from my vacation the 25th

the IRC setting for the salvation channel are
irc.protium.org for the server
#mtgsalvation for the channel
Sadly our server for IRC is currently down and will be for a few hours I guess so don't worry about it right now.
So do we have a playtest group? We are talking about these cards and decks that might be good, why not test? I have MWS and Apprentice so I would be up for it!
ahh.. I have the day off from school.. nothing better then sitting down with my laptop, a pizza and listening to the new soad album in peace and quiet when Im alone home the most part of the day
I played a lot of gifts a while ago but I found the 5CC control deck without gifts to be way more fun. there was a article about it a while ago here on mtgs. and the only thing you need is to read the article and perhaps use the mana base he made up and then the rest of the deck is highly customizible a very jonny/spike deck
