I would definetely sell that. Especially since a foil Legions Akroma probably costs 10 dollars. Paying 40 bucks for the purple TS symbol doesn't seem like the best choice ever.
I see Robynne luuuuuuurking, she hasn't graced us with her insight in awhile now. :sadpanda:
~*Sits down next to Ria, grabs a cold, cold Corona and stuffs a lime in the neck....begins to rant*~ **CHEERS**
So I attempted to make a trade with a dude right.....I want his Foil Psi Blast and a couple other cards...not to pricey....textless Mana Leak and one other....I offer him my Foil Counterspell DCI Judge with Dom art, DCI Judge Time Warp, Wheel of Fate, and a few other cards. He throws the MOTL prices at me......:rolleyes:.....those things are so skewed...my Counterspell is valued at $6 and the Warp at $8.50!! Helloo....if the Counterspell was $6 don't you think I'd have 6 or 7 playsets? Whatever...I argued a little in a reply and sent it back.
THere's that movie with Jack Nicholson and Matt Damon.....friend of mine said it was really good! Lots of blown off heads and cussin'!:D
"Talkin outta turn....That's a paddlin'. Starin' at my sandals....That's a paddlin'. Paddlin' the school canoe....You better believe that's a paddlin'!" --Jasper
Let me know....he said it was really good...the first movie he had actually gone out to the theaters (american spelling) to see in months.
ho hum...time to eat the donuts!!

Gonna go booster draft again today. Probably play some sealed. I sure hope I can beat my losing streak. Can't seem to beat anyone but noobs.
Research has slowed down. But I did get an appartment so I'm happy. Doesn't open up untill november 1st, but Its real close to work and fairly cheap compared to everything else. I gotta try to be productive this next weekend. been squating in my friends house for about three weeks now and I feel a bit bad about that.

And I guess that I'm a lucky one for the truth of what I know. For my heart had not denied me and I have somewhere to go. I shall never be a prisoner of steel and glass and stone. If I leave, I will return again to my Rocky Mountain home.
Friday the 13th is for bad luck, not evil. Bad luck is independent of good and evil.
So I sat next to a friend whom I knew wanted blue and he knew I wanted black and red. Needless to say that we both had sick decks. He had all the blue bounce with some counter flyers and junk. I had a sort of black/red madness, though red was splashed for 2x undying rage, void, riftbolt, and karvek. The black worked nicely. I had three of the black 3/3 fear suspend for 5 guy, a decent amount of removal, and several madness creatures. A typical game went like this for me.
Turn 1: Suspend the 3/3
Turn 2: Pit keeper
Turn 3: Tresspasser Il-vec
Turn 4: Pitch a Gorgon Recluse and Madness
Turn 5: Undying rage something then smack for evil
Variations of that occured several times and I was able to pull off consistent victories. I only lost to one person who went sliver tech. Something about the Essence sliver and shadow sliver that I could not quite handle, not to mention the doublestriking sliver. He was at 5 live then gained 16 putting me at 4. X_X Didn't get my removal when I needed it.
Not many people so there was only three rounds. Going 2-1 put me at 5th out of 11 people. Sliver tech boy didn't win anyone else besides me. My friend took first place. My rare picks were Browbeat, Bad moon, Essence Sliver, Sol'kanar the swamp king, undertaker, and moonlace. Not the best but probably worth my $8 entry fee.
I actualy prefer spending $8 and then picking out the rares afterwards depending on standing rathre than spending $15, keeping what we pick, and playing for packs as prizes.
I've decided that if I want a type 2 deck I will have to go for relatively cheap and strait forward. So I'm thinking Black Weenie, or Black Agro as I guess its now called. I figure my one drops will be Thoughtpicker and Plauge Rasalska, Two drops can be withered wretch, Nether trader, the 2/2 dauthie, and some others. Bad moon, smallpox, and some other stuff. Maybe Phyrexian Arena. We'll see how far I actualy get with trading and whatknot. I figure it'll work as an early game rush with a potential midgame lock with two nether traders sack and recuring for alot of -1/-1 or library control. There is an idea of adding green for some enchantments and putrify....but thats if I can trade for a playset of duels and pain land.
Well it needs alot of tweaking, currently well over 60 cards. I'll probably discuss this with a friend later and play with the two drops. There are plenty to play with. Probably plenty of removal, a tad worrysome considering some of the meaner U/R don't even run creatures. I love the prospects of a mid game combo with the neither traders and the plauge rasalska or thought picker. I'd actualy rather have more creatures in this. Not sure whats dominant in type two right now.

I dunno, jj. Howard does a good impression of a jackass.
Dagg, I wasn't saying Friday the 13th is about evil. Obv October is about evil. It's spring here, though, instead of autumn, so I was trying to get my EVERYTHING IS DYING NOW fix here. . .
Ugg. This last week has been hell. The physics homework is really starting to get to me. When each class assigns some 15 hours of homework a week, it sucks. When it's 15 hours not due to the amount of homework, but its impossibility, it's worse. The last E&M assignment, we had 8 problems. Two of them, none of us could do. Of those two, we got a grad student to help us with one of them. Even he was unable to do the last one though.
And I have more E&M due this Tuesday. You can just feel the joy oozing from my every orifice, can't you?
Where had everyone been yesterday? You people need to post!
Also, Daron, when am I supposed to get my cards?
And finally, it's Sunday so my comic updated today. You should all go take a look, as I think this one you'll actually find funny even if you aren't a math and physics major. For convenience, the link is http://thecalled.servehttp.com/Webcomic

Actually, if you read the Project Mayhem 2 NPI thread, you'll see that I think that you're one of the few capable Moderators left on here. I forgot to include Daron on that list, but I don't really think of him as a Moderator anyway, to me he's just..Daron. So I have plenty of love for you, Votan, I just don't think you can run this forum on your own, and I don't think anyone else will do the job as well as Furor did.
WHaaaaaaat is happening v? Furor + I were having a good gab about God + art just the other day. . . now he's done left us drowining in New Clans. I am almost too scared to see who is applying to replace him. RIP Gisgo @_@;

Taleban fighters using giant Afghan marijuana forests for cover are proving a tough foe to smoke out, the head of Canada's armed forces has revealed.
Thickets three metres (10ft) high readily absorb heat, making them hard to penetrate with thermal devices, said Gen Rick Hillier in a speech in Ottawa.
"You really have to be careful the Taleban don't dodge in and out of those marijuana forests," he added.
Burning them is not an option as they are laden with water, the general said.
He was quoted as saying by Reuters news agency that the crew of at least one armoured car had responded by camouflaging their vehicle with marijuana.
Canada's armed forces have more than 2,300 personnel deployed in Afghanistan as part of the Isaf international force and have suffered at least 40 fatalities since 2002.
Smoke scare
"We tried burning [the marijuana forests] with white phosphorous - it didn't work," said Gen Hillier.
"We tried burning them with diesel - it didn't work. The plants are so full of water right now... that we simply couldn't burn them."
He noted that a couple of brown plants on the edges of some of the forests had caught fire but this had posed yet another problem.
"A section of soldiers that was downwind from that had some ill effects and decided that was probably not the right course of action," he said, speaking dryly, according to Reuters.
One soldier had told him:
"Sir, three years ago before I joined the army, I never thought I'd say 'That damn marijuana'."
Marijuana, an illegal drug in most parts of the world, grows wild across Central Asia, where it is commonly regarded as a weed.
With illicit marijuana production on the rise in Canada itself, police there recently identified fighting the drug as their "biggest issue".
Hahha, nice "article" Brian Also, enjoying your new smilies lately!
* rancored_elf waves to Votan *
Always nice seeing you in the thread!
I had a blast at the cabin, as usual. We drank heavily two of the nights but there was still mush room for fun on the third. All around excellent trip.
Mike, the cards were shipped from the east coast last Friday so they should be to you by now, or will be very soon.

Well well....seems we have some infiltration....I suppose that's ok. Sometimes I think it would be nice to head out to the MarryJane forest and set up camp....spark a little fire and get it nice and blazing. Sit back and sing a couple of songs...with a lot of snacks at my side!

What the fish? Is that code for something? Come on... if you're gonna say something, be blunt about it, Jonski.
I fell asleep last night while shipping cards, so that was a signal that I should go to bed. I did. Now I'm up early (well, 9am's kinda early) to get back at it. Weee!
Wha!?!?! What could be more "blunt"? Sparkin up fire with my woman and my chicken and basing it all around my pitched tent!!
