Poor boys with all their girl troubles. I know a way to make difficulties with girls disappear forever...
Cec', I don't wanna spoil anything but there's an upcoming Legacy article that features a deck that can win on turn zero. Have you heard about it?
Yes i hear about everything in legacy remember kraj? But yeah seriously though I dont think its really all its cracked up to be really. Although we will see how powerful the deck really is once May 19 and 20th comes along is when GP columbus of legacy will be held on those days. To be honest though I thought Sakura's version is better we played about 6 games and she won 3 and i won 3 of course i was playing with solidarity which is a deck I hardly play really except one time when i played it at a 39 player tournament in washington state and got first with it but that was like several months ago.
I'd better not spam, so I'll drop a little sidenote. Is anyone currently playing with FS? And if so, what decks are you using? Especially combo ones...
'Fox.
Your welcome shadowfox. Actually i havent really looked into FS even though there was that hulk flash deck that Kraj mentioned that can win on turn 0 that had one of the pacts of negation i think it was in the deck. Other then that though its going to be an awesome set considering i really like magus of the vineyard and whetwheel which will be great with urzatron lands.
See you all soon! *hugs and blows kisses*
Love,
Cecilia

I myself can't get the same girl off my mind. It sucks, but I can't just forget about her and I have minimal interest in other girls now. It's like my mind adopted this "only girl for me" attitude, but I really don't know why. I'm trying to get rid of it, but I can't for some reason.
"Some reason" is also known as "you're in love".
I don't think you should ever just will away this kind of feeling, uness there's some reason that makes the whole thing really impossible). So good luck, Shadowfox. Hopefully you'll convince KoolKoal to do the same.
As for me, I'm on a slightly different situation... my 4-year girlfriend is moving to London in three months. Being single again will have its advantages, but I'm freaked out about the date coming closer. I think I'll miss her more than I ever thought.
appologies for being away but I have a sore throat and the meds are kicking my ass. Hope to be better soon. Talk to all ya later.
Its okay sapphire im sure all of us understand. You have always been a pretty important regular to the coffeehouse. Yes i hope you will be better soon as well. All of us are here for you always sapphire. Take care and best wishes to you sapphire. As always we all wish for the best for you and everyone here.

Well I hear ya on that. And I suppose how quickly it can put the combo together when it doesn't have all the pieces in the opening hand is a big factor. But I have a hard time accepting any deck that can win without even taking a turn is too potent to dismiss.
Is anyone currently playing with FS? And if so, what decks are you using? Especially combo ones...
Hmmm... well I'm mostly splashing FS into other decks. I generally don't play combo, so the closest deck I'm working on would probably be my UB control deck. The gist of it is it uses Stinkweed Imp and Magus of the Bazaar to fill the graveyard and find Tombstalker. Usually it can have Tombstalker in play backed up by countermagic on turn 4 or 5. Other components include Damnation to reset the board, Zombify to get back dead Tombstalkers, and Clutch of the Undercity to bounce and tutor for Damnations and Zombifies. It needs work but I'm pretty happy with it so far. I can post a decklist in a bit when I get home.

The Golden Rule of forums: If you're going to be rude, be right. If you might be wrong, be polite.
@KK: Trillian: The version they have up for general download doesn't work. It was a goof up of some sort. If you have basic non-Astra try downloading this: http://www.ceruleanstudios.com/trillian-v3.1.5.1.exe
As for the girl... I dunno really what to say... Same goes to you 'Fox...
Future Sight: Not using very much of it at all in any of my decks. There's just no need for the effects the set brings out as of yet aside from maybe the lands and SB stuff like Yixlid Jailer.

LOL! I needed that piece of laugh...
because I just found out that my best friend decided to do something incredibly crazy and in a spur-of-the-moment decision just moved off to North Carolina without telling anyone. It wasn't without ANY warning because he did say for months that he was thinking about it but did say he wasn't probably gonna do it... turns out he did. I guess everyone who knew him just found out today and he's been in NC for about three days now. People I know just never stop proving themselves to be stupid in some way... not that the move was stupid - just how he decided to handle it that was.

Hehe its okay kraj i havent really looked into all of the modern decks in the format even though ive seen quite a few lists.
Yes exactly kraj id say any deck that needs a perfect hand to win the game is a huge flaw and should never be considered to play in a eternal format where you have players that play force of will, counterspell, stifle, and meddling mage and of course much more.
Considering if you look at the big combo decks in the past like Iggy pop and solidarity they both don't rely on a perfect hand to win you games even though it could help. However both decks both have resilient tools like lions eye diamond combined with infernal tutor or meditate and other draw to up their consistency by a bunch. I dont realy see that with hulk flash it doesnt really seem to have very impressive tools to make it a highly resilient deck in the format.
Even though till this day the only combo deck that i would probably play at any big event would be solidarity but its highly recommended to playtest alot with the deck before hand just like any other deck.
Sure go ahead and post your deck in here kraj we would love to see what decks you have in store for us.
You should trade friend codes with the rest of us, you recluse. Meanwhile, I am just past 30 hours, and on my 7th badge. What did you do, level grind for a half a day or something?
Wow, I'm a bit... Okay, way back there. Yes, I grinded for a while. By "Grind' i mean "went and caught pokemon for hours and also left my gameboy on 'sleep', which I think might account for some of it.
yeah...yeah...that is a pink bow on my chainsaw...
* Sakura realizes people arent scared, puts it away
sigh....
You guys should see my room in IMVU. It is this huge gothic castle thing. It has a second level which is this small enclave with surround windows. I put my bed there. I put my cuddle bath at the foot of the bed, and stripper poles off to each side.
My main room has two huge arcing couches in the bottom corners for guests. Each one has a crystal coffeetable with a gorgeous statue of a woman as its base. One has a Clive Barker puzzlebox sitting on it with all sorts of evil sounds. The coffee tables have some kinky positions placed on them if anyone is inclined and can find a "friend".
In the corner under the stairs is a chair for my pleasure, for when I find someone hungry. The center of the room has a circular sofa piece with a huge spherical GOGO cage dangling from the ceiling and its own stripper pole inside.
To the top left area is the gaming area with a Street Fighter machine, a working DDR machine, and a Twister pad. There is also a chair here for anyone who once to give someone a lapdance.
I have speakers setup all over which play a mix of Jrock, Metal, and some 80s classics. I have a laser show I can set up as needed as well, but leave it not setup because it would just be chaos if it were going all the time. I had some invisible dance spots, but they glitched out the room and froze it a few times. I need to find out which ones others are using and get them instead.
Tonite I am looking for wall decorations. I have a Transgender flag to hang somewhere.
I will post some pics eventually. If you cycle through my banners (refresh the page, my siggie banner will change) you will find a pic of my IMVU avie. Its the one about Goths.
Random Side Note : For fun, I was concidering making a wikipedia (not the mtgswiki, actual wikipedia) entry on myself, and see what happens.
I love the sound of your room on it. I might just go and check IMVU out. I just saw an ad for it on Demonoid. I also love DDR. You any good?
This week's Regular is Shaharazad, everyone's favorite black kitty.
Shaharazad, who prefers Sha, Shah, Shazzy, or anything between, came to MTGSalvation in September of 2005, drawn by the White Weenie discussion and the Rumors from StarCityGames. His username is based around the card of the same name, one of his favorites, for its casual fun, complexity, simplicity, and exotic flavor. While on MTGS, Shaharazad has been all over. He enjoys the Coffeehouse, [Natural 20], his clan, and various other areas. He has won the trophy for Best Casual Strategist 2006, and deservedly so. He also enjoys Sneaky's threads for music and film.
When he's not storming for 5 Bogardan Hellkites, Shah enjoys, in the order of his application: Songwriting, cooking, D&D, painting, tekken, travel, reading, bikeriding, weight lifting, hiking, gardening and anime. Yes, he is very weird, and probably registers high on the Geek charts. Shaharazad has also been very kind to let the Coffeehouse know that he has Tourettes Syndrome, but luckily he has been able to cope. *Alacar hugs
Shaharazad has a short but varied list of plans: To teach art in a college, which is fine; to go camping in Iceland, which is fun; and to start a family, which is fantastic Right now he's working on his band, a three-piece instrumental group that's high-energy and dynamic; the Independent band, if there ever was one.
When asked about the Coffeehouse, Shah had this little nugget to offer:
Well said, Sha. Well said. He enjoys Cappuccino best in the House, and when asked to offer some words for his Regulars, he only had this to shout from the rooftops: Photon Eater - All hail Photon Eater! Let us eat photons and rejoice! Figures
And that's it for the first Regular of the Week of the Coffeehouse's second year, Shaharazad.
@ Nai: Level 48 in the E4? Jesus. I was at level 50ish when I did it... And somehow you've been playing it longer than me and I seem to be on it all the time I'm not at work
Did you get Lucario before the E4?
If not, I am breeding mine soon and can trade you a Riolu egg
Shall be getting myself a Darkrai, Shaymin and Arceus tomorrow when my AR arrives. Gotta have 'em all
No, I didn't get Lucario first. I'm missing 3 pokemon from my pokedex: Riolu, whatever is after Snorlax (Snorlax's evolution?), and one of the three legendaries.
As for the E4, it was INSANE. I kicked the crap out of trainers 1-3. Mostly beating them down with their weaknesses and, if needed, using Gengar's "Curse" move to whittle down their life until they die. Worked very well, to be honest.
My real problem was the final Elite and the Champion. See, the final elite's common move (if you've played him, you know it) was kicking my butt from here to kingdom come, especially with Alakazam. So I had to keep on reviving and sending in pokemon until the move had no more PP, then I had to wait for ANOTHER move to run out. Then I killed him with Gengar. I couldn't touch him otherwise. The Champion basically had the same issue with me, though I forget which pokemon was the problem child. I used 60+ revives, and 50+ hyper potions, but I beat the absolute hell out of 'em.
Agreed (I'm not your judge, so I can get away with commenting ). I also think the "play from graveyard" ability is worded awkwardly. If you can't find a better way to word it, let me know and I'll tell you what I think.
Huzzah! It boggles my mind how much b.s. people got away with in that thread. I can see the point of treading carefull with issuing infractions considering the subject under discussion, but if I was a mod in SYM the red ink would have flowed.
I think it's because Krash is trying to be nice. Many people said he was being a dictator with how he closed threads, so he was trying to show he's ready and willing. You know how people are about mods right now.
Yeah, that thread has long served its purpose. But I must say it was absolutely PRICELESS to see some people jump from "only morons think the Internet is serious business" to "now wait, in this case, it IS serious business" in a matter of weeks.
@Craig/Sephiroth - By the way, is there a Ipswich/Norwich rivalry of some sort? That would make things more interesting regarding the bids for my allegiance.
QFT. It was funny to read for about the first... 2 pages or so.
SO. I just found out that I need to take an Incomplete in my Senior Thesis in Communications course..... this means that there is a very high possibility that i will NOT be graduating this spring.. .which is making me FREAK OUT because of the amount of work my parents are putting forth to come visit (my dad is DRIVING from Oregon, and my mother is flying from Oregon as well)..... I'm so scared and nervous about this..... On top of this, Ryan will not be here for Fall Quarter due to a double block (Six month) job in Massachusetts... Well, if I need to retake this course, I may end up staying at RIT for one more quarter.... I just dearly dearly hope this means I can graduate on time.
I'm feeling so defeated........
I can't wait to check out Death Note. It's something I'm looking into soon. And I'm sorry to hear about your senior thesis, Omna. I feel somewhat the same way. I need to take another semester in my community college before I can transfer, which means no scholarship from UCCS for me.
Ugh, I downloaded the "new" version of trillian and now it won't connect to any of my messengers :(.
I've been working on homework too much lately, it sucks.
Good luck if you do decide to make "a move" fox ;).
I myself can't get the same girl off my mind. It sucks, but I can't just forget about her and I have minimal interest in other girls now. It's like my mind adopted this "only girl for me" attitude, but I really don't know why. I'm trying to get rid of it, but I can't for some reason.
I've got a band concert tonight. As always I could care less ;).
Well, good thing I'm not checking out the new Trillian, I guess?
Whew! Plenty of MTGO today. And some WoW, even. Whee!
I'm sooo happy I'm free.
About Hulk Flash: Meh.. turn 0 win is rare; Mox, Mox pitch, Island, Flash, Hulk has to be in hand. It's a 5-card win, and that's assuming there's a card to pitch to the mox.
Sure you could use a Spirit Guide, but still.
Meanwhile, I am loving my stack of ***s and my Enchantress deck
However, I should build a GW Aggro deck soon. I have most what I need anyways.
Since I have been at work the past few days and haven't been able to play, my Pokemon are so criminally low leveled, it's likely I won't be playing against anyone for a good long time- because ten to one, by the time my ass gets from level 30ish to where everyone else is at, they'll be in the 90s, and by the time I am in the 90s, they will have either lost interest or starting a second generation of statistically superior pokemon. So yeah :-/.
It is really warm here today, up to 85 degrees. Usually I would be enjoying all the sunlight and brightness, but I am notably fussy and cranky today. I am lacking in sleep, just sort of irritable from work, and I have been feeling sort of down for the past few days, so it has sort of countered my usual chipperness I get when the weather warms up and becomes pleasant like this.
I am also trying to think of a decent name and background for my character in Broken Mandala, but I'm a bit stuck. I know the basic gist of the character and I have a mechanical roadmap, I am just sort of stuck in that "getting to know you" part of character creation.

[16:23] Alacar Leoricar: maybe if you do it'll make the porn more meaningful
Maybe I'm missing something, but how is a Mox a turn zero win? Isn't a turn zero win where your opponent goes first and you win on their upkeep, before it's even your turn? It usually requires that goofy "unluckyman's paradise" thing and a spirit guide, unless I'm completely mistaken.
Myself, I had a better day at work than usual, which is something. Now I've just gotten myself episodes of three more of those series on the list yesterday that I didn't have episodes of - namely, Lovely Complex, Seto no Hanayome, and Romeo X Juliet. Seto no Hanayome was pretty good. I'm just checking out the other two now.

Ninjedit: Get better, Saph!!
It's storming out here..
Yeah i figured it was something like a 5 card turn 0 win hehe. Im glad you like your stack of ***s and im glad i was able to help you complete your playset so we both have a playset of wrath of gods now. Your enchantress deck is really cool and i happened to like it quite a bit when i was playing against it. We could play a couple of games either later tonight or this weekend possibly.
Well time for me to get back to my games and ill be on aol if anyone wants to talk to me. See you all soon and take care everyone. *hugs and blows kisses*
Heh, just thought I'd share something... I'm watching Romeo X Juliet right now, and I could swear I recognized the voice actor. I went to ANN and looked it up. It turns out he also plays the lead role in Seto no Hanayome - the series I just finished the first episode of not ten minutes ago. So yeah, two series coming out at the same time with the male lead voiced by the same guy. I just thought that was kinda funny.
What? Nobody cares? Aww...
*goes back to Romeo X Juliet - which is awesome, btw (seriously, they ride pegasi)*
This deck is rather slow, but it's kinda fun. You've got the Vesuvan + Fathom Seer engine, plus the pickles lock to annoy people. But the real fun comes in dropping Ixidron to neutralize opposing threats while reusing your own morph triggers. Also, you can slap Followed Footsteps on your Voidmage Prodigy to create a soft lock, or on Prodigal Sorcerer to make an army of pingers.
Ok, so it's Ghazi-Glare. But man is it fun. Any aggro matchup is great because it's not hard to gain an extra 10-20 life over the course of the game. Just one point of life gained, a Glare, and four creatures (not hard to do by turn 4 or five) will stop Dragonstorm. Dralnu has a really hard time with the early one drops and Gazhi (side in Mwonvuli Acid Moss against Deserts) and a resolved Glare means they need to grab a Wipe Away before they can swing with Skeletal Vamp. Bathe in Light prevents red mass damage. Glare and Fetters shuts down Angelfire.
The deck wins by Glaring opposing threats and putting your Scions and Hierarchs through, or by building lots of saprolings and pumping them with the Elder or Guildmage (which can happen really fast if everything goes right). And let me tell you, playing Scatter the Seeds with an unblocked Herd Gnarr attacking is just too funny. If I would change anything, I'd probably put in two more Hierarchs and take out the Scions.
BTW, the HulkFlash combo is: Gemstone Caverns + any card to pitch to it + Flash + either of the Spirit Guides + either Protean Hulk or Summoner's Pact. So, it's really a 4-card combo with 16 slots devoted to two of the combo pieces. I wonder if less redundancy of the pieces and more card drawing/searching would make it more consistent in later turns.
Looks pretty cool id say hehe. Aeon Chronicler is pretty crazy and competitive casual sounds like a cool concept too.
I think remand might be better then mana leak in a deck like this having to draw cards is always nice. Also maybe a couple of vesuvan shapeshifters could be good too. I cant really think of anything else though. Ill let you know if i come up with something.
I am going to go out for awhile so see you all soon. *hugs and blows kisses*
Love,
Cecilia

HulkFlash combo is indeed pretty crazy... I'm thinking of going something a little more interesting... Throwing it on a Scepter and running it along side a reanimator deck and CIP and LP effects. It seems more stable than the actual HulkFlash deck... Besides something about Flashing in a Desolation Angel floating one or two mana and reanimating it in the same turn gets my mini-Johnny going.
@TimeSplitters: Looks fun - but why a single Teferi in the side? If you suspend stuff with him in play you won't be able to play any of the suspended stuff... now however if he's there just to kill your opponent's Teferi's then that's another thing entirely.
That Tombstalker deck looks like it would be more fun with things like Tolarian Winds if it wasn't in Standard...
Good luck if you do decide to make "a move" fox ;).
Same goes for me. I don't really know the whole background story, but I wish you luck nonetheless. Remember, whenever your mind is telling you not to do something like that, it's usually wrong.
I myself can't get the same girl off my mind. It sucks, but I can't just forget about her and I have minimal interest in other girls now. It's like my mind adopted this "only girl for me" attitude, but I really don't know why. I'm trying to get rid of it, but I can't for some reason.
Join the club. Especially about the "only girl for me" attitude. That's been my story for over two years now. It's driving me crazy. Well, good luck with that, I hope everything goes well for you, because then maybe it will for me :rolleyes:.
So I never told you guys about the meet yesterday and my shoulder. Well, I did way better than I thought I would do; I got 4:51 in the mile and 2:10 in the 800. Both were off my PRs and weren't fast enough to get me into finals, but at least I was able to run reasonably fast. I'm pretty disappointed still, though. I was really excited for this meet and being so close to moving on but not making it is pretty hard. Anyway, track is over for me now, so I guess I'll just have to work really hard next year.

Oh, you boys and your girl problems.
You're all so cute you make me wish I was dead.
So, quick question- any clan people ever take the conversations a step further- past the forums, past messenger, and actually call each other? I've wondered for a while about that.

Lol, sorry about that, Photon. If you can give me a really good argument for being gay, maybe I'll consider it :p.
Well, I met Joyd over spring break, but that was because I was visiting his college. I think my parents would be a little freaked out if I started calling random people I met on the internet.
Cec', I don't wanna spoil anything but there's an upcoming Legacy article that features a deck that can win on turn zero. Have you heard about it?
Current New Favorite Person™: Mallory Archer
She knows why.
Yes i hear about everything in legacy remember kraj? But yeah seriously though I dont think its really all its cracked up to be really. Although we will see how powerful the deck really is once May 19 and 20th comes along is when GP columbus of legacy will be held on those days. To be honest though I thought Sakura's version is better we played about 6 games and she won 3 and i won 3 of course i was playing with solidarity which is a deck I hardly play really except one time when i played it at a 39 player tournament in washington state and got first with it but that was like several months ago.

As for me, I'm on a slightly different situation... my 4-year girlfriend is moving to London in three months. Being single again will have its advantages, but I'm freaked out about the date coming closer. I think I'll miss her more than I ever thought.

Well I hear ya on that. And I suppose how quickly it can put the combo together when it doesn't have all the pieces in the opening hand is a big factor. But I have a hard time accepting any deck that can win without even taking a turn is too potent to dismiss.
Hmmm... well I'm mostly splashing FS into other decks. I generally don't play combo, so the closest deck I'm working on would probably be my UB control deck. The gist of it is it uses Stinkweed Imp and Magus of the Bazaar to fill the graveyard and find Tombstalker. Usually it can have Tombstalker in play backed up by countermagic on turn 4 or 5. Other components include Damnation to reset the board, Zombify to get back dead Tombstalkers, and Clutch of the Undercity to bounce and tutor for Damnations and Zombifies. It needs work but I'm pretty happy with it so far. I can post a decklist in a bit when I get home.

I guess everyone who knew him just found out today and he's been in NC for about three days now. People I know just never stop proving themselves to be stupid in some way... not that the move was stupid - just how he decided to handle it that was.
Hehe its okay kraj i havent really looked into all of the modern decks in the format even though ive seen quite a few lists.
Yes exactly kraj id say any deck that needs a perfect hand to win the game is a huge flaw and should never be considered to play in a eternal format where you have players that play force of will, counterspell, stifle, and meddling mage and of course much more.
Considering if you look at the big combo decks in the past like Iggy pop and solidarity they both don't rely on a perfect hand to win you games even though it could help. However both decks both have resilient tools like lions eye diamond combined with infernal tutor or meditate and other draw to up their consistency by a bunch. I dont realy see that with hulk flash it doesnt really seem to have very impressive tools to make it a highly resilient deck in the format.
Even though till this day the only combo deck that i would probably play at any big event would be solidarity but its highly recommended to playtest alot with the deck before hand just like any other deck.
Sure go ahead and post your deck in here kraj we would love to see what decks you have in store for us.
Love,
Cecilia

Wow, I'm a bit... Okay, way back there. Yes, I grinded for a while. By "Grind' i mean "went and caught pokemon for hours and also left my gameboy on 'sleep', which I think might account for some of it.

I love the sound of your room on it. I might just go and check IMVU out. I just saw an ad for it on Demonoid. I also love DDR. You any good?
Men are snacks to you? Shall I avoid getting in bed?
Congrats Shazzy.
No, I didn't get Lucario first. I'm missing 3 pokemon from my pokedex: Riolu, whatever is after Snorlax (Snorlax's evolution?), and one of the three legendaries.
As for the E4, it was INSANE. I kicked the crap out of trainers 1-3. Mostly beating them down with their weaknesses and, if needed, using Gengar's "Curse" move to whittle down their life until they die. Worked very well, to be honest.
My real problem was the final Elite and the Champion. See, the final elite's common move (if you've played him, you know it) was kicking my butt from here to kingdom come, especially with Alakazam. So I had to keep on reviving and sending in pokemon until the move had no more PP, then I had to wait for ANOTHER move to run out. Then I killed him with Gengar. I couldn't touch him otherwise. The Champion basically had the same issue with me, though I forget which pokemon was the problem child. I used 60+ revives, and 50+ hyper potions, but I beat the absolute hell out of 'em.
I was wondering when that decision would happen. It long outlived its purpose.
I think it's because Krash is trying to be nice. Many people said he was being a dictator with how he closed threads, so he was trying to show he's ready and willing. You know how people are about mods right now.
QFT. It was funny to read for about the first... 2 pages or so.
I can't wait to check out Death Note. It's something I'm looking into soon. And I'm sorry to hear about your senior thesis, Omna. I feel somewhat the same way. I need to take another semester in my community college before I can transfer, which means no scholarship from UCCS for me.
Well, good thing I'm not checking out the new Trillian, I guess?
Heh. Or you could add troubles of BOTH sexes, like me?
Feel better, Sapph. Please.
My helpdesk should you need me.
I'm sooo happy I'm free.
About Hulk Flash: Meh.. turn 0 win is rare; Mox, Mox pitch, Island, Flash, Hulk has to be in hand. It's a 5-card win, and that's assuming there's a card to pitch to the mox.
Sure you could use a Spirit Guide, but still.
Meanwhile, I am loving my stack of ***s and my Enchantress deck
However, I should build a GW Aggro deck soon. I have most what I need anyways.
Ninjedit: Get better, Saph!!
It's storming out here..

Since I have been at work the past few days and haven't been able to play, my Pokemon are so criminally low leveled, it's likely I won't be playing against anyone for a good long time- because ten to one, by the time my ass gets from level 30ish to where everyone else is at, they'll be in the 90s, and by the time I am in the 90s, they will have either lost interest or starting a second generation of statistically superior pokemon. So yeah :-/.
It is really warm here today, up to 85 degrees. Usually I would be enjoying all the sunlight and brightness, but I am notably fussy and cranky today. I am lacking in sleep, just sort of irritable from work, and I have been feeling sort of down for the past few days, so it has sort of countered my usual chipperness I get when the weather warms up and becomes pleasant like this.
I am also trying to think of a decent name and background for my character in Broken Mandala, but I'm a bit stuck. I know the basic gist of the character and I have a mechanical roadmap, I am just sort of stuck in that "getting to know you" part of character creation.
Myself, I had a better day at work than usual, which is something. Now I've just gotten myself episodes of three more of those series on the list yesterday that I didn't have episodes of - namely, Lovely Complex, Seto no Hanayome, and Romeo X Juliet. Seto no Hanayome was pretty good. I'm just checking out the other two now.
Yeah i figured it was something like a 5 card turn 0 win hehe. Im glad you like your stack of ***s and im glad i was able to help you complete your playset so we both have a playset of wrath of gods now. Your enchantress deck is really cool and i happened to like it quite a bit when i was playing against it. We could play a couple of games either later tonight or this weekend possibly.
Well time for me to get back to my games and ill be on aol if anyone wants to talk to me. See you all soon and take care everyone. *hugs and blows kisses*
Love,
Cecilia

The deck wins by Glaring opposing threats and putting your Scions and Hierarchs through, or by building lots of saprolings and pumping them with the Elder or Guildmage (which can happen really fast if everything goes right). And let me tell you, playing Scatter the Seeds with an unblocked Herd Gnarr attacking is just too funny. If I would change anything, I'd probably put in two more Hierarchs and take out the Scions.
BTW, the HulkFlash combo is: Gemstone Caverns + any card to pitch to it + Flash + either of the Spirit Guides + either Protean Hulk or Summoner's Pact. So, it's really a 4-card combo with 16 slots devoted to two of the combo pieces. I wonder if less redundancy of the pieces and more card drawing/searching would make it more consistent in later turns.

She knows why.
Looks pretty cool id say hehe. Aeon Chronicler is pretty crazy and competitive casual sounds like a cool concept too.
I think remand might be better then mana leak in a deck like this having to draw cards is always nice. Also maybe a couple of vesuvan shapeshifters could be good too. I cant really think of anything else though. Ill let you know if i come up with something.
I am going to go out for awhile so see you all soon. *hugs and blows kisses*

@TimeSplitters: Looks fun - but why a single Teferi in the side? If you suspend stuff with him in play you won't be able to play any of the suspended stuff... now however if he's there just to kill your opponent's Teferi's then that's another thing entirely.
That Tombstalker deck looks like it would be more fun with things like Tolarian Winds if it wasn't in Standard...
Same goes for me. I don't really know the whole background story, but I wish you luck nonetheless. Remember, whenever your mind is telling you not to do something like that, it's usually wrong.
Join the club. Especially about the "only girl for me" attitude. That's been my story for over two years now. It's driving me crazy. Well, good luck with that, I hope everything goes well for you, because then maybe it will for me :rolleyes:.
So I never told you guys about the meet yesterday and my shoulder. Well, I did way better than I thought I would do; I got 4:51 in the mile and 2:10 in the 800. Both were off my PRs and weren't fast enough to get me into finals, but at least I was able to run reasonably fast. I'm pretty disappointed still, though. I was really excited for this meet and being so close to moving on but not making it is pretty hard. Anyway, track is over for me now, so I guess I'll just have to work really hard next year.

Oh, you boys and your girl problems.
You're all so cute you make me wish I was dead.
So, quick question- any clan people ever take the conversations a step further- past the forums, past messenger, and actually call each other? I've wondered for a while about that.
Well, at least they're not sitting around comparing their biceps to firearms like your little brother and his...friends?
Seriously, that was eye-rolley. I love my abundance of testosterone, but not to THAT point.
It's a solid thing to practice. You can win any argument on the internet by posting a picture of you shirtless and flexing your guns, as it were.
That was pretty silly, too. I felt like telling them "Shut the hell up, you're all BB guns!".
Lol, sorry about that, Photon. If you can give me a really good argument for being gay, maybe I'll consider it :p.
Well, I met Joyd over spring break, but that was because I was visiting his college. I think my parents would be a little freaked out if I started calling random people I met on the internet.
