Well, thank you Photon for the honor of being RotW, and thanks to everyone who congratulated me.

But no, I don't play Guild Wars... It looks fun, though, and a friend of me plays it... Have you already played Factions?
I haven't played Factions, but I want to buy it someday.
I guess no one here really plays it.
As for those who went to the prerelease - any cards in particular stick out to you as playing really well?

Wow my PR experience was horrible. 30 dollar entry fee for 5 Coldsnap packs and I got no good rares. 3 of em were 3 colored legendary creatures. I got Zur the Enchanter that one UBR Vampire lady and another UWG flier that pumps snow creatures. My other rares was a bad Spark Elemental and some sort of creature that steal's opponent's lands. I went 2-2. Didnt get any boosters. The matches that I lost at were because of that stupid goddamn Red Dragon that taps creatures. Sorry I can't remember any names
The good part was that I got good trades. and completed my Angel Stompy deck. Now currently working on a weird Tendrils deck that involves Helm of Awakening and Sensei's Divining Top.
Oh, I did see one card that I really liked in Coldsnap. It was Thrumming Stone. Use that in a Relentless Rats deck....

[thread=52196][Alliance of Rogue Deckers!][/thread][My Cube List]
Hmm.. I had actually looked, for the 400th post and found it, but didn't realize the 500th had passed until i was almost 50 past it... I suppose I should probably dig it up....
Hey ***_Hater, I'm sorry for not talking much on AIM, I was trying to catch up on like, 40 pages of posts lol...
And sorry Alacar, for not contacting you in enough time for you to call us-- I actually got your message (the vibration anyway) midway through the first round or so, then when I was reading it later, we had no signal the rest of the day... I think that place only had spotty service for my phone.. I had to wait until we were well on our way home on 495 before I could call my friend (well really, one of the guys i'm stayin' with) to see if he could give Ryan a ride home-- which he did, but we didn't end up getting back until 10, so we only had a hour and a half to spend time together, before we dropped Ryan off... after we dropped Ryan off, Pete asked me if I wanted to go to JP's , a local bar.. I was like "sure why not" .. I had 2 beers... Definitely my limit.. I wasn't drunk at all, but was getting to feel a SLIGHT buzz, which was more than enough for me... It was still good stuff.... Killian's Irish Ale, which is strong stuff... But it made me super tired after a long day at the prerelease, so I ended up sleeping until 4pm today
Anyways, the prerelease.. Before you guys are even fooled at thinking I did well, just based on my skill *cough* ... Here's how i did:
Last. Place.
*sigh* But yea, I got ONE point... I won one game, against a friend actually... ( it was a fair game, so I still won one, but it wasn't even against a person who was a poorer player than me.. just dumb luck and i got to be able to pull panglacial wurm and Auroch's Herd (2x) out... A lot of my deck was expensive, but trampled... I played a GWU deck... It was OKAY, I guess, but I still lost every match i had, excepting a draw and a win, both from teh same guy I was talkin' about before.
The two guys I was with (Ryan and Chris, the aforementioned guy) both decided to go for a second flight of sealed since they did NOT HAVE 2HG, which disappointed me and Ryan maximally, because we really wanted to join our heads together and play tgoether as a team... But unfortunately they didn't have that, nor did they have booster draft..... Well, actually they did, but it was after Ryan had joined another flight of sealed as well as my having resigned to just relaxing, watching him play and sorting my own cards into color and pile and indexing them....
It was actually pretty cool.. I was working on my two ideas (my 2 major ones anyway) , which are the copying-manipulate-opponent GU deck and my UW Loxy-Lockdown deck.... *I so want to use Frozen Solid (CS) in that thing* and this kid walks up to me and is like, "Do you have any Coldsnap Angels?" I told him no, and he just kinda sat down and asked me what i was doing... because I had piles of organized-by-color cards spread around me and a notebook and pen in front of me with a list of cards, and a cup of pringles and a grape vitamin water next to me. lol...
I told him I was indexing my cards so that I could begin building a constructed deck... and he offered to play with me, against a 60 card deck and I told him I didn't have any yet, as I'd only been playing for 8 months... and then i showed him some of my deck ideas, and he was like, "whoa... you've only been playing for 8 months, you said?" and I said "yep!" and he was like "Wow.. I've been playing for a WHILE and I could never think of ideas like this.... " It made me happy... I told him "Well my boyfriend's been teachign me for the past 8 months, and I've learned a lot from him" ... and man, now I wish I could talk to that kid again and give him the link to the coffeehouse, because he seemed like a smart kid, someone who we'd benefit from having here... He actually suggested to me building a Boros-Rakdos deck... which sounds really nice to me, because I like both Boros and Rakdos (I hate the idea of black BUT I do enjoy Wrecking Ball stuff.. Lol. Anyways... Hmmm
I got last place in the first flight i did ... but then Ryan and Chris told me "oh we're gonna do another one".. and I just was like "UGH"... kinda just.. I enjoy Magic and everything, but sealed takes so much time and it was just... brain-exhausting.... i was like "ugh.." at having to build another deck and paying 25 dollars for it, AND playing another 12 matches... *drops dead* lol... so we got somethin' to eat, and then they decided to go for another flight, and Ryan and I stood there for a good 15-20 minutes discussing whether i should join or not... I was just very ambivalent about it because i wasn't sure if i'd do any better or not.... and so I decided not to...
We also met BweeBwee, which was nice.. Mirari, we couldn't seem to find:( We looked all over for you, and couldn't find you... there wasn't anybody with a stewie/family guy shirt that we could see
Ryan did REALLY well... but I'll let him tell you guys how he did, in addition to what I helped him with * coughcough*
I got a foil Vanish Into Memory tho.. that card saved my tuckus sometimes.... I did get some good black cards but I chose to play GWU...
Anyways.. I can't think of anything else to say, and i just wanna get off cuz i wanna shower in case Ryan calls and wants to do something tonight.... if he doesn't, i'll be back on later
Hi Omna! Last place isn't so bad. Everytime I get last in an extended tournament, I seem to get the best trades I've ever wanted. I'm jealous you got to meet people there from the salvation. I probably will never have the chance to. Its almost like I live on a farm in the middle of nowhere behind 100 foot walls. Well...its not that bad. But our card place is pretty run down and is almost on the brink of extintion.
I here ya there Shinobi. Not many people that play Salvation are probably from Clarksville or Nashille (TN). The only one I know of is alacar. He lives very close to me too. I was unable to go to the PR though. I was mad at first, but then finding out you had to pay made me happy I didn't go. I need to learn more on how to play before I go to tournys. well, I still might. Playing MTG sounds fun. I hope to go to Alacar's house sometime to play. My mom needs to meet him and get to know him first. She'll think he's some child malester.
EDIT: Omna, be glad you got last place. You did your best I bet. And hey, it could've been an unlucky game.
That sucks to hear that Omna and Phyrexian didn't do too well. Yeah, Rimescale Dragon is ridiculously out of color. I managed to kill one with a Skred once, though.
As for cards that I think will do well: I'm sure most decks that don't have access to kill cards like Char and Mortify will want to play snow lands just to have access to Mouth of Ronom. And Ohran Viper will do well, too. I predict that people will play Scrying Sheets too.
And I used Mouth of Ronom, it's not that good, in limited at least. It costs way too much. It was never useful for me. Of course, that oculd just be bias because the one time I realy needed it, my opponent Resiezed his creature.
Alright guys, I'm back. * PurpleD orders a tall coffee, single sugar
Crimson, I absolutely love the deck you made me (and It's going in my extendo). I am a little dissapointed with it's lack of B, but I love it nonetheless... now to address it...
Quote from Crimson Avatar »
PurpleD, you may be part of Dimir but you make one hell of a :symw::symu::symr: deck. Check this sucka out:
[quote]
Rainbow Vale: For his affinity to the Gaymers. I apologize if this was an offensive choice but I couldn't find a flagship that would be more fitting to the deck itself.
haha, Well they've been with me since I was a flailing noob, and I grow closer to them with every post. I'm glad you found a way to work them in
Hanna: Represents mamelon who he seems to have some sort of affinity for in his posts here.
What can I say, mamelon is awesome, and we seems to share a lot in common.
Shifting Borders: He lives in Canada but is definitely part of the worldwide internet phenomonon.
Rivaly: His constant rivalry with Photon among other people.
Other people?! Photon is my only rival (an underwhelming one at that)
Ertai: This actually represents D himself.
hahahaha, I'm no control freak!!! Okay, maybe a tiny bit...
Pegasus Stampede: This would be the Calgary Stampede which is a famed part of where he's living.
That's awesome. Trust Crimson to be the only one who knows about it
Goblin Trenches: Both having to do with his contest in the card creation forums and the fact he plays football. And yes I know he's not actually in the trenches in football but this is the closest I could come to representing this.
Good call, that's very creative. Although, if you would've done some research, you could have found out how much I love the Chicago Bears
Jester's Scepter: It's not out yet but I couldn't resist using this. He's not the king of comedy here (Jester's Cap would be that guy's crown) but he does have a huge joking side to him and this is what this is here for.
That's awesome. Photon's throne of bone has got nothing on my scepter!!!
Confusion in the Ranks: His "Surprise!" factor.
Are you calling me 'special'?
Spawnbroker: OK this one is just obligatory. I'll find an excuse for this later.
I probably missed everything off target by MILES but I have to say this might actually be a fun deck if you see the synergy I do...
Actually, I love it. Very creative, and it's sooo extendo'd
As for the prelease, I didnt go, seeing as I was out of town, but on the way back I did stop in this little town called Vulcan. It was pretty hillarious, they has the U.S.S. Enterprise and a spaceship thing as their information center. So ya, I got my weekly dose of nerd in
Oh, and the girl at the front counter was TOTALLY hitting on me. Hehe
Aww man. Only one comment. Thanks Mortal Wombat! Oh and thanks PurpleD, you reminded me to extendo my deck! (Which was updated just today if you want to check it out.) Hmm....what to do now......
@ the euro and 1,20 numbers: Some other countries ( not sure) use commas instead of decimals in their numbers. so 1,20 is the same as 1.20
@RotW: Grats Mamelon! And no RotW next week? Then who the hell am I supposed to cheer for?
@Super Secret Tech: Yes, I had to look in the Comp Rules to make sure it didnt work...and Im almost trying to test for judge...just shows i need a LOT more knowledge on the rules >_<
@Shinobi: for a banner, just take art you like, find some other stuff that complements it...and put it together? I really dont know, below was my first attempt at making a banner...so...umm...i realyl dont know what does and doesnt work...i just had the inspiriation for this...with all my *** and stuff...
@ World Cup: Grats Italy, I really could care less about Soccer, but I do feel sad that it came down to just penalty kicks to decide the winner...
@Omna: Sorry you got last place, sometimes we just have bad luck streaks. At least your first Limited tournament wasnt GP Philly back in 2002 in Onslaught Limited, and you have never seen the set before nor did I know what a GP was...i thought it meant like "good prizes" or something.
@Extendoing my Theme deck: Good idea...i will do that soon
Thank you priest! (adds to buddy list) You too Nemcon. I'll take all of that into consideration. Okay, I'll see all of you later I'm going to go play some video games. Bye!!!
Yukora, what general type of deck would you really like to see me make?
Prerelease question - did anyone play Counterbalance? I'm interested in that one, as well as Krovikan Mists and the snow Raptor (I forget the name).
I find myself wishing there were a blue-green snow land.

Lmao. What's the buddy list really for? Have fun.
Hmmm ... can't wait for Janus to get back so we can get started on Revelations . We had ideas, but that's as far as it went. I had the idea of the progressive character cards. Like in each set we release a new version of the three main characters. Something like.
Thanks, it's great to be back and visiting with all the people I know and love
Prerelease question - did anyone play Counterbalance?
Like I said earlier, I didnt go, but if I did go (and wanted to spend lots of money), I would've played the deck. WHat's your fave list that you've seen? It certainly looks like fun to play
@World Cup; Phenomenal game. Man, Keepers dont have a chance in hell. Oh well, I'm glad the better team won, and it's too bad to see a great player like Zidane go out on such a sour note.
@Omna: Sorry you got last place, sometimes we just have bad luck streaks. At least your first Limited tournament wasnt GP Philly back in 2002 in Onslaught Limited, and you have never seen the set before nor did I know what a GP was...i thought it meant like "good prizes" or something.
Heh.. just for the record, this wasn't my first..... My second lol.. but still.. yeah i know ... and besides, i wasn't completely familiar with the set, like you said.... I hadn't really had the chance to look over the spoiler that much.... so i was only vaguely familiar with it...

I'm sorry omna . You sound like me and my buddy. Every Two headed giant tourney we go to, we come in last. Almost every time. I work better by myself I guess. Kinda lost touch with that guy ... ... anyway, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry to hear that. Really.
Well, anyway. I g2g. It's storming here. Ciao, everyone.

I ussualy suck a sealed also. Spoilers help a little, but its important to review your deckbuild a thousand times before you register it. I was intending on playing UGW at the Dissension PR, but I reviewed and found RBW was better. I got 5th place in that event. I think that sometimes we go into limited events trying to play a certain combination of colors, because it has good cards, but sometimes it just doesn't work out. Like my first draft when I was determined on playing G/R, but I screwed up the drafting a lot because of that desire. Maybe you did this?
Just a thought.
Anyway, I'm going to philadelphia to spend a week at my best friends house at the end of July.
Well thats the thing with limited, you really cant decide what you want to play ahead of time. You just have to go with what you get and decide what is to be the best combination from your pool. In draft, this is an entirely different scenario, but you still need to look and analize what you beleive will be the best combo. However, you can not make these decisions until you get there and start looking at what is available to you.
Prerelease question - did anyone play Counterbalance? I'm interested in that one, as well as Krovikan Mists and the snow Raptor (I forget the name).
I didn't see Counterbalance at all in the prerelease. I'm sure it's terrible in Limited, though, since so much hinges on it being effective. As for the Raptor, are you thinking of the owl that has power and toughness equal to the number of snow permanents in play? The only card that has the word "Raptor" in it is a flyer that becomes untargetable with two snow mana.
The only card that has the word "Raptor" in it is a flyer that becomes untargetable with two snow mana.
Which is exactly the card of which I am thinking.

I belive you guys are talking about Snow raptor. A very cool card IMO. I am really sad I missed prelease. I must say, CS looked like a lot of fun to play limited. No matter how much Kami Block sucked in Standard, it was reeeally fun to play Limited, simply becuase so many things worked together (i.e. Spiritcraft). Same thing goes for CS (snow permanents). Not to mention that some of the art is eyegasmic.
I haven't played Factions, but I want to buy it someday.
I guess no one here really plays it.

Heh.. just for the record, this wasn't my first..... My second lol.. but still.. yeah i know ... and besides, i wasn't completely familiar with the set, like you said.... I hadn't really had the chance to look over the spoiler that much.... so i was only vaguely familiar with it...

I'm sorry omna . You sound like me and my buddy. Every Two headed giant tourney we go to, we come in last. Almost every time. I work better by myself I guess. Kinda lost touch with that guy ... ... anyway, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry to hear that. Really.
Well, anyway. I g2g. It's storming here. Ciao, everyone.
I ussualy suck a sealed also. Spoilers help a little, but its important to review your deckbuild a thousand times before you register it. I was intending on playing UGW at the Dissension PR, but I reviewed and found RBW was better. I got 5th place in that event. I think that sometimes we go into limited events trying to play a certain combination of colors, because it has good cards, but sometimes it just doesn't work out. Like my first draft when I was determined on playing G/R, but I screwed up the drafting a lot because of that desire. Maybe you did this?
Just a thought.
Anyway, I'm going to philadelphia to spend a week at my best friends house at the end of July.

I didn't see Counterbalance at all in the prerelease. I'm sure it's terrible in Limited, though, since so much hinges on it being effective. As for the Raptor, are you thinking of the owl that has power and toughness equal to the number of snow permanents in play? The only card that has the word "Raptor" in it is a flyer that becomes untargetable with two snow mana.
Which is exactly the card of which I am thinking.
All that I yearn for, for richer or poorer, is to be the peace that you feel.
All that I yearn for, for richer or poorer, is to fill your heart on my own.
