Hmmm, these Magic games would be inf. cooler if you posted images of each thing you play, like Alex just did. Not to say that I'm thrilled with Alex randomly spamming our thread, but, the idea of actually seeing cards would be neat at least.
Went to another opening tonight, this one a photography exhibition for the school she teaches at. I noticed I had a slight ink stain on my dress shirt pocket after I caught the train -_-
but I felt better once I was in amongst all the mucky-muck schmoozing + I had the gorgeous Carbone girls flanking me (you like that? Yeah, you like that). Realized I was living out someone's adolescent fantasy.
Afterwards we gorged ourselves on Chinese food. Salt + pepper bean curd heaped with a good dose of s**t from my sister, who is suddenly in a movie + can't find the time to move, much less do her uni homework.
Then we went to check on the squatter, they seem to have moved along.
STILL MAKING ELVES?! . . . thank Gaea it's friday tomorrow.
Hmmm, that's good the squatter's gone. But.. what's a squatter? Someone was actually living in the place without authorization? How'd they get in? That just boggles my mind.. weird.
I don't like the Time Warp variant. So overcosted. Magic's starting to lose excitement for me. "Look, a variant on a broken card from Alpha!" (for the 20th time, and it's still unplayable)
This Walk variant isn't really that bad, as long as you use it appropriately. I don't think anyone is going to 'break' it, so to speak, it's just going to be a good tool to occasionally take an extra turn for free. I don't really think it needed to cost 6 mana..I thought that Time Warp was appropriately costed, no need to add to the cost just because it has buyback. I agree that most of them(walk variants) are fairly weak, though...especially Beacon of Tomorrows and Time Stretch.
Yeah but Time Stretch was 2 turns.......TWO TURNS!!!!!!!!!:rolleyes:
I don't think its that bad either but I want something good out of this crap coming out....they sued my boy and threatened the site with lawyers!!!:swear:

It seems like an interesting set so far. It's one of those that I can honestly say I would have loved to go to the pre-release knowing zero cards from the set. I'm absolutely thrilled with the return of Flashback, Buyback, Storm, and especially Interrupts(Split Second). Not so thrilled with seeing Morph again, but, that's alright. But yeah, to have no idea of the set and sit down at a pre-release and open up cards to see these amazing old mechanics would have truly been something. Oh well.
Morph added a bit of flexibility to Limited - you knew everyone was going to have a 3-drop, + if they didn't, you knew they had an uphill battle.
It is always sad seeing WotC re-hash good cards as bad ones, or worse, nearly-good. I shoulda tacked on to that Berserk reprint joke I made. . .
out, paining (@16, right jj?) for :symu::symu:, textless Hinder your Poacher to the bottom of your library
+ yeh, there was an open window, so ye squatter just let themselves in, I guess. It's all locked up now, + they were doing a good job of not being noticed (only knew about 'em 'cos a neighbor saw) so I don't think they're the break-in type.
Maybe you've got mold or something where you live? I was sick in our townhouse, every 6-8 weeks, really nasty throat infections. When we moved to our big new place, nothing since. I feel great. Any chance it's that? I'd doubt it, being Australia, shouldn't be any mold...
Work should be good, tonight. Been working a lot lately so I know all the patients. It's good to have that extra confidence, you know what you're doing, you know how to treat each patient to help them and not cause problems. And I'm working with Danielle, she's cool, we're gonna watch Scary Movie 4 once the patients are all asleep. :):thumbsup:

Could be mold. Our bathroom here, even after multiple thorough bleachings when we moved in, has a lingering body odor smell to it. It also has NO ventilation, so when it gets moist, it stays that way.
*happy to be moving*
Just walked down + picked up my keys to the new house. Neighbor was hanging onto them for us, she's a-ok.
Yeah, there you go - might be the mold. Nasty stuff. Even if you're healthy as an ox like myself, it'll getcha. Nothing your body can really do, when you're breathing in crap and it's infesting in your throat and chest. It's bad. Old people die from that stuff sometimes. I'm glad you're moving. Not that you're old.
If I were in Mike's shoes....and thank Jebus I'm not...I would continue
chompin on that gay man's free burrito!:sneaky: That sounded un-right!
I am not really big on the writting but I will throw something out there and see what kind of response I get from my peers.....that would be you guys...get with it people!
Don't you people forget....next game is MINE!!!!:cool:

Daron...there is one flaw in your plan there....[card]Lightning Greaves can only used as a sorcery. You are using it as a fast effect and that isn't right......right? Maybe I'm missing something.....
You have my address......or maybe you should ask your mom....she was here last night:p

I think he just kept going because Brian is tapped out and likely can't do squat, especially in regards to Lightning Greaves.
Poor Mike must be dying of humiliation at all of these gay jokes. Probably thought it couldn't get any worse than us bagging on him for eating alot of vegetables, now we're bagging on him for eating some other guy's vegetables.
@Jonny: I think we should write the story as a group(who knows how that'd work) or elect one of us to write it and have everyone else look it over, suggest changes, etc..as a group. If it's the latter, no offense, but I have a hard time seeing you as enough of the creative type/attentive to detail type as is necessary to write an engaging story.

Seriously...before I got home from work and saw the chocolates my wife and son was all up in it! Nice stamps.....by the way!
We can try to write the thing as a group....we say that and then the day before soeone comes in with a good ~place contest entry here~ and we all agree on it. We'll see....
Going to FNM tonight...first time in a while and playing type 2. My son is going with me...should be cool!
Later .....jonny waddles his soon to be fat arse to the bathroom because the dairy in the chocolate is playing havoc on his pooper!

I'm glad you got your package, jj! I just got an email from my g-ma saying she's now slowly torturing her Superfrog to death, so I thought you might be postal cursed or something. . . + you did indeed request all that! I considered keeping the macadamias once I'd gotten it all home, though. . . but you asked for nuts + I didn't want to screw you out of your nuts
So who's playing you, jj? Winner?
*wonders if Guay deck should remain full of 1-ofs or rebuild for something a little more competitive*
I'm equipping the greaves to make things able to tap for mana. And after I was ready to attack, I put them on creatures that I wanted to be able to go deal some damage. It's a sorcery, yeah, but that's how I'm using it. Not in the middle of combat or when spells are on the stack.
It's BRIAN'S addy I need, though. Anyway, he just PMd it to me.
EDIT: Hummmmmmm two of the 1/1s indeed have summoning sickness... so I still do enough dmg?
I'll be processing that order tonight, guys. I'm off for a few days now, whew!
I think jj should either play Brian, or someone else. I'll sit out for a round or two.
Your deck's cool, Brian. Guay decks are sweet.
Oh, it's a painting I made last year, that whoever got me in the AvExchangeIII decided to turn into a banner, tacking on the Lemon? to take the piss out of me, I think. Probably should go find out if they've revealed who did who, so I know where to send the coal at Christmas
I moved my frangipani sapling from the beachouse to our new place today. . . a few years ago, the house at the top of the street sold, + the new owners decided to uproot the giant tree that they had Which was too bad, 'cos it was great coming to the terrace on a warm evening + having their delicate smell hanging in the air (sort of like jasmine, really). . . so I took some of the branches laying in a pile in the yard, took 'em home, let them dry out + then replanted 'em. One in a pot survived, + is doing well (that's the one I moved), there's another that took root out the front of the beachouse, I may transplant it (it's in too much shade to really take hold anyway).
Really looking forward to making this place ours - going to repaint the lemon yellow hallway tomorrow! It's quite painful to look at x_x'
OK....ok...the only real deck I have right now is the one I used lastnight and came in 5th. My son and I went and it was really fun! They were all very nice to him and he walked home with the random foil.....Astral Slide!! Its pretty cool...he thinks he's the shizzle now though!
