Brian, just for you, this weekend hopefully, i will put my entire trade binder online, (if you tell me how to make one of those threads), and we'll see what we can do for sure, I have most of that stuff on your want list.

If Scry was so powerful, why don't any cards with it see play? I remember the scry shock seeing some block play at the time, that's about it. I think it was pretty weak. I mean... Darkblast or Lose Hope?
I'm at the house today and both of the boys seem to be coming down with something. Fevers, coughing, waking up during the night confused... might not be a fun couple days. For me, or them.
I think a great gift for Brianalnalanln (instead of buying them baby clothes, pffffff) would be gift certificates to re.com! He needs a bunch of those legendaries, I'm sure. Right!? RIGHT!?!?!?
Then drink it!! You know what?....brew a strong pot of coffee....get a big plastic cup like the ones you get at McDonalds or 7-11. Fill it with ice and choclate milk....stuff that's already made like Quik. Only make half of it Choclate milk and pour the hot steaming coffee into the cup with the ice and chocolate milk....top it off with some whipped cream and you;ve got a delicious chocolatey drink with a KICK!! Ice cold and easy to drink....;)

Elf: Condescend saw tons of play, and still finds it's way into extended decks, and combo players of all sorts play Serum Visions. Really though, the reason noone played the scry cards is because most of them sucked.
As for Coffee, I prefer to mix it with Evan Williams kentucky mash. Wakes me up and motivates me to go to class, both at the same time.
I was told today that this kid on my team called 911 twice this morning and hung up both times. They called back and his dad answered. The reason the kid called 911? He got an erection and didn't know what to do. I wish I was making this up.
Jonski that sounds absolutely disgusting. That's like pickle juice, tea, and tobasco sauce with a big ol' straw. No thanks!
Dave I like the Sun Drop. It doesn't go in every deck but as for green mana fixing I think it's decent. Card disadvantage but it should improve the quality of your game down the road.
Yeah I remember Serum Visions and Condescend being played, but the latter was only played because of the horrible lack of countermagic in the environment, imo. It wouldn't be in (m)any decks if it was standard legal right now. I had 4 foil Serum Visions and sold them on eBay a while back. Some guy bought them and bent them in half, sent them back for a refund. His feedback showed that he'd done that before with cards he decided he didn't really want. So I had to refund him or he would have left me a negative... bugger. And I still have them - 4 shiny Serum Visions with a crease down the middle. Kinda hard to resell.

Delana finally took the last of her junk, + we turned her room into the art den of BASSY DOOM. . . GENTLEMEN, BEHOLD! *evil laughter*
Cubes, trading with you would be awesome.
DUX, keep up the good work keeping combo in
eds - oh yeh, Scry. WotC purposely kept it low power. If Magma Jet was :symr::symr: for 3, you know it would see play. If Serum Visions was instant, you would have sold those bent foils with boogers on, r_e.
* rancored_elf beholds and snickers at Delana's junk *
Yeah Serum Visions actually was spoiled as an instant at first, Brian. I believe that's how the source handed it to me. Reaction was obviously positive. Then, from what I recall, the source realized they messed up and said that it was actually a sorcery, but read "scry 2. draw a card." and people went nuts once again. Turns out it was neither, but still playable.
Well, out of 3x boxes of PC I got 1x damnation, 2x extripate, 0x akroma, 3 groundbreaker (think that's all the money cards right?) Good thing I bought some singles. heh.
I beat RE4 for the second time today. Got an infinate rocket launcher and an infinate machine gun! ..I may play it again just to kill people.
...Damn, it is dead in here..

Dux All of the scry cards had scry 2, kinda like all the cyclers in mirrodin block had cycling :2mana:. If memory serves, they templated it as "scry, number" instead of "scry" is they plan on bringing it back eventually with different numbers.
Elf: I didn't say Condescend saw play way back when... I said it sees play NOW. As in, I'm currently playing a deck with Condescend.
I was told today that this kid on my team called 911 twice this morning and hung up both times. They called back and his dad answered. The reason the kid called 911? He got an erection and didn't know what to do. I wish I was making this up.
Of course, that assumes the person gets medical attention. I'm telling him to go to hospital, but he's determined to go in to work and (hopefully) die there.
EDIT:
Zigathon420: Look, I lied. I didn't eat asprin... it was those damn pills I had taken last year. If I bring that bottle there, I might get treated for the wrong thing. Please, just let me die.
RancoredElf: Oh, wasn't that E or something? You're going to die from that?
Zigathon420: Who knows... but I took like ten of them.
Zigathon420: My address is 506 St. Germain St Saint Cloud, Minnesota
Zigathon420: I want to go lay down.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methylenedioxymethamphetamine
Seems that OD of MDMA (Ecstacy) is much less of a problem than aspirin, unless you take 50 times more than the normal dose. Also, he says his friend has called an ambulance.
Yeah wierd....I got an IM while I was in the bathroom that he needed me to call the hospital because he didn't have a phone....then a coupleminutes later he said "nevermind" and logged off. All before I could get back and respond.
I don't understand really...just jam your finger down your throat and make yourself puke!! My persoanl feeling...if you wan tto kill yourself you do what my uncle did and just blow your head off with a shotgun. Seemed to be a no fault method.

I'm still alive. Really. It's just I've been very buisy. That and the weather. I mean we have had several winter storm advisories in the past few days. Blizzard after blizzard pounding the area. We are talking very low visibility and fast snow accumulation coupled with dangerous roads and cold cold weather. So obviously I've been skiing every day while that was going on. I mean whatever keeps the fair weather folk off just gives me more fresh powder. And I mean first tracks down entire mountains. Loads of fun really but a huge workout. My thighs need a few days to recover as they are now beaten to a pulp.
Other than that nothing much to say. Well I did start playing poker with my coworkers for a while and I haven't touched my cards in a month. I'll get back to it when I get time. And I'll catch up with this thread when I have time. None now. I'm on a split shift and tired as all get up. Need to eat then sleep.

************************From Sound to Sea**********************
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.
Well since it has been made it public. Zig said he was going to hang himself last week. Somehow I helped talk him out of it. I hope he is okay. I hope he isn't serious and this is all just a cry for help/attention. As much as that is an awful thing to do, I hope that is the case.
Look...I love Zig and I think he's a smart dude, but when you start talkin like that to people it's a cry for help. He has some bad things going on, I'm sure....but nothing is more selfish than taking your own life. What does it prove???...that you are too lazy to seek or want help. That you are to scared to face the things that scare you. But I'll tell you all something....taking your life...as tragic as that is....does not make people sad for you....it makes them mad. Mad that you didn't try harder. Mad that you didn't seek help from the ones that love you...and...yes someone out there loves you!
I'm sorry if I'm not coddling to his fragile state, but that isn't what he needs.
He needs to call the one person he knows loves him and tell them his demons. He also needs to get away from the things that assist him to make bad decisions. That is the hardest part!

Well DUX, it's not the first time. And I'm not downplaying your role, I'm sure you were supportive, but Zig has done this before and he'll probably do it again. I'm not saying he's a bad person for it, or that he's just out to tug on your strings, because he obviously does need some help. Has for a while now. I'm just making sure you're aware it's not an isolated incident, and that you probably didn't have as much of an affect as he led you to believe.
nothing is more selfish than taking your own life. What does it prove???...that you are too lazy to seek or want help. That you are to scared to face the things that scare you.
I disagree to some extent. Maybe it's selfish, maybe it isn't, but that's not the point. Some people are actually so sick, they can't do anything else. It takes daily effort to NOT hurt or kill themselves. It can be largely a chemical thing, with emotional, hereditary, and behavioural components of course. I'm not saying anything about Zig, but you were painting everyone with depression/suicidality with one brush. It's not quite so simple as them being lazy and not trying hard enough to get better. You can slap some people silly and yell "GET BETTER NOW, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS WANT TO!" and it won't necessarily make it happen. I know where you're coming from though.
He needs to call the one person he knows loves him and tell them his demons. He also needs to get away from the things that assist him to make bad decisions. That is the hardest part!
Agreed on this one, for sure. He's lying to himself and a lot of other people as well. I think the main thing is that he has a serious problem with drinking and it has affected his life, hugely. He's still got a 19 year old kid's mentality. Drinking all the time stops your maturing, among other things of course. He's making up fake personalities, dramatizing his life to justify his actions, and he's looking for reasons to keep on drinking, keep on lying, keep on falling into the same traps and pitfalls. I don't know what the answer for him is, though. Sometimes I wish his friends or family would step in, intervene, and force him into treatment. He'll just keep making up excuses not to do it, until he absolutely hits rock bottom, or dies. That'd really suck.
In lighter news, I just had a good workout, and stopped for a double cheeseburger combo on the way home. If anyone else needs any health advice, please feel free to ask.
You may be right...moreso than I am. I've just experienced it in my family and I'm still really angry at him for what he did. I know people have problems that they can't control. Even drugs can't help some people.
I have a friend that was stuck in a drug induced coma of sorts. He held a job, an apartment, car...the works but he spent all of his extra money on drugs...heroin and pot. Heroin sometimes..... but a lot of pot. He had a hard time with relationships...friends...daily activities. He was watching his life go down the tubes and he was suicidal....the one thing he did was move to a place that was just far enough away from the "connections" he had to force himself to go cold turkey. It was hard for him but it seemed that talking to me everyday was his therapy. I'm not saying that I'm a cure for anyone....god help us all if that is the case....but he knew that I loved him and was there for him no matter what. 6 years later he has 2 kids, a solid relationship...and still needs to call every once in a while to clear his mind.
I was a litle harsh....I guess I see these cries for help a little differently. You see it far more often than me so I can see your point of view....and I would be both sad and mad as well. I think Zig is a great guy and he needs help. I'm just afraid he won't contact the people that do really love him...and unless they read these forums...he is the one that needs to contact them.
To continue on your lighter note....I always find the double cheeseburger after a good workout is the best way to maintain the fitness you desire!:p

Prolly not reading this, but - hang in there, dude. Nobody knows where you goes when this sh t blows over. It got better for me, eventually. If I'd cashed in any of the times I really considered it. . . well, nevermind. This is boring even me. You got to live your own life, or die it, whatever.
