Hey, don't forget to add Gatherer of Graces. I've pulled a foil one, and it's like her chest is popping out at you. And the art for Reviving Vapors looks like an easy porno set up.
Quote from person being healed »
Oh thank you for the medicine, how can I ever repay you?
And I as well have pulled a foil Reversal of Fortunes. My eyes nearly popped out of my head.
I have a request of the Izzet members - I'm currently making a UR control budget deck that has to be very simple to play, highly consistent, and low on rares. What cards would you reccomend?
I'm using it to teach new players that there's more to magic than just attacking and blocking.

Thanks to Jaharu for continuing the discussions from the other thread, even though it was not exactly what I was looking for. I really like the direction the others were headed in, ALTHOUGH there was a brief lull near the end where we regressed back into our primitive nature and began to drool over hot Magic art. And I must reiterate: you can drool over gorgeous chicks all you want, just not here. There's a thread for that *cou-RAKDOS-gh*;). Let's be a bit more sophisticated, whot whot? Anyone wanna revive our other discussions?

I'd like to take this time to talk about 2HG Champs. My friend and I opened a pool with 2 Vedalken Entrancers as well as a Followed Footsteps. Then there was the deck swap. The pool we got back had:
Bad Fat
No Bombs
No Mill
6 Playable Removal Spells
No Enchantment Destruction
It's a miracle we went 5-3...

I love 2hg, its sooo fun. me and my friend (infinite draw, for those who were wondering) almost went 5-0, if it hadnt been for the other team cheating. they didnt tell us hunted horror tokens had pro-green XD. dam them to hell. well, our combo for the rav 2hg was r/w aggro and u/b milling. it OWNED! its called, szadek, give it haste with boros guildmage, then use rally the ritous on it. they CANT survive with their small 40 card decks against the mighty szadek. o, and thudersong trumpeteer is broken in draft.
Anyway, if anyone has checked the rumor mill and spied the Dissention novel preview, it seems that Niv-Mizzet while make a very large appearance. I quote, "There aren't any Bam-sticks bigger than him, the goblin said out loud.......then, closed her eyes, seeking contact with the sleeping consciousness and hoped to Krokt That Niv-Mizzet didn't wake up too grumpy to listen to the details."
It is also important to note that Crix has been touched by the firemind, making her the first goblin in the history of Ravnica to recieve it.
I agree about this. This format is so fresh and fun that it is one of the main reasons that I am going on playing Magic. Great work Wizards in this case!
wow, really? on ebay they r very cheap, but i dont really trust ebay... i have like 8 towers, all from paks, its crazy...
Ebay prices are set by people that are not usually knoiwing what they are doing. So don't trust them. I work at a shop where I am paid to know card prices, so you can trust me
Argh. I had a horrible day today for cards. I went to my shop and bought five Rav packs. Now, for me, five is the magic number. If I get five packs, I get at least one good card. And to top it all off, three of the packs were Circu packs. Circu is my lucky pack design. I was feeling lucky to the tune of an Heirarch and a dual. Nope. Absolute crap. It was so bad, that I won't even go into detail about what I got. It was that bad. But, I am a regular at the store, and all the employees know me by sight and name. The person working today felt pity for me, and since I am such a good customer, he gives me a sixth pack for free. However, he luckied it up by rubbing it on his crotch. I was skeptical, but I cracked a Woodwraith Corrupter. I was happy. Then, I decide to buy two ninth ed packs. I was forewarned that one pack would be good, the other crap. Sure enough, first pack I open Yawgmoth Demon, and the second pack I get a foil Dark Banishing and a Coat of Arms. I was satisfied with that. I then even bought five Unhinged boosters. Halfway through, Edd (the one person working) decided he was going to clean up next door from a group of rude players from the weekend events. There was trash everywhere. I helped him clean up and he gave me the right to claim any cards they left behind. Sadly, no bombs. And I was angry to find that a person had ripped up a Hissing Miasma. A lot might no think it's a good card, but when I use it, it becomes powerful. A lot of people I play with use token armies and sit back while they grow larger. But if they swing once, they die. Anywho...I jsut found it apalling how the players could have been so disrespectful to the store that allows them to play. They all ended up getting banned from the store, not just events, for a month. Has anyone else had those experiances of jerks?
We used to be able to bring Chinese food from accross the street into our store until someone decided to spill it all voer the place and not clean up after himself...
The hotel that we usually have PTQs at probably isn't going to have us again. They've kicked us out early two weeks in a row and made a big fuss about people spilling water on the table as well as bringing in outside food.
Magic players are slobs in general. Cleaning up after the School Magic Club each week (which has about 12 members now) is a pain even.

I remember the thrill of when I bought the Rav. fatback and in its boosters I pulled an Overgrown tomb and a Watery Grave...got my money back right there....
For your budget deck throw in a Tibor and Lumia....one electrolyze and your throwing quite a bit of damage around....

-Streetlight Manifesto
One reason why I wanted to get more Rav boosters. but alas, I have not much money currently. I think I'll celebrate my first paycheck at my new job (looking to be either 400 or 800 depending if I'm paid weekly or biweekly) by buying a new Rav box. I jsut can't believe my luck. But with a set that's twice as big as Guildpact and only has a few more Guild cards per color pair, I guess I should expect th disappointment.
Sorry about delays in posting. Lab work + essay + fun relationship problems = Mass delays. (It's not even The Week of Hell (exam week) :o) I'll be taking a break of sorts until I can sort out everything. Will try to post once every so often, but it won't be of any quality until mid-term.

i like the dimir...
I used to be a budget player till i pulled an akroma in my first pak, so i nvr really was... Im more of a dealer than anything... Right now i have a lot of duals, 4 vents, 2 shrine(1 foil) and 2 graves along with the best rares from each guild. all from paks...
But for the budget deck, id agree on the tibor and lumnia and the electrolyze. they rock, even in not so budget decks.
and for those of u wondering, boxes are worth it. i get them for $80, but its worth much more, and the rares u pull usually are worth a lot more than the box cost itself, also, junkers are your friend.
Made a new deck, g/w mana accel into a bunch of angels with spirit link, it works quite well.
