Well, I just survived driving on base and shopping, then driving to Wal-Mart and shopping, all along the most deadly stretch of road in the US (most fatalities/year), all on a foggy evening. It was.. an experience, I'll tell ya.
Thanks for being careful!
Zaphod: I actually like the Saffi banner the best. Has a good color scheme/blending and yet doesn't overwhelm.
On another note: Is anyone else from here in on the Holiday Magic Card Exchange? I know I signed up already and know what I'm gonna be sending. I just hope the person that gets mine likes what they end up with.
stuffy doll is expensive (around $5 each) and falls to the glut of Haakon MBC locally. rite of flames with grinning ingus ramps up the storm count like nobody's business.

I'd love to do that, but I don't really have the time to do any sort of alterations I would really like, and as Les said, if you wouldn't want to receive it, it probably isn't good enough.
That and I don't play Magic anymore, so I wouldn't know what to do with the card(s) I received.
For those of you that do participate, be sure to post pictures when your cards arrive. It's a great idea and, IMO, it would be awesome if it became a yearly MTGS tradition.

I can't draw very well at all but I tried to do stuff that depended less on artistic talent and more on enhancing the scene depicted. Thankfully, I think they actually came out OK. I just wish there were less cards with dark backgrounds in their art... Makes it hard to fit a lot of stuff in there.
I just got home from a magic draft. It was really cool. Half of the participants were just beginning to learn; my partner (cuz it was two-headed giant) was only a month or so more experienced than most. I got there late because of work so my teacher had drafted for me, and when he gave me the cards, he said it would suck. It was mostly giants, with a Brion Stoutarm. He had drafted 6 powerful pieces of black removal too, so I splashed that in playing RWb. My partner had drafted elves with a Vigor, so I figured we'd balance out quite well. The first game we played, we steam rolled them, but their decks weren't very strong.
Then we were matched up against two of my friends who everyone was saying would win easily, awesome cards and one of the guys wins most of our drafts by a wide margin. I come out the gate w/ a turn 3 stinkdrinker daredevil, then I top deck into another next turn and drop the Giant Harbinger that was in my hand for R, searching out Brion. Proceed to play him next turn along with another giant and saving mana for a crush under foot while my partner drops his Vigor. We won that game turn 9 easily.
Next, we were in the "championship" (we got a bye first round). We played against a burn deck and a control deck. I got the exact same start as before somehow (I only had 2 stinkdrinks in the deck), but this time Brion got countered right off the bat, and after a few turns of building up and it appearing that we were taking the upper hand, they set of Ashling, the Pilgrim to wipe the board clean. We then go through 23 straight turns of topdeck mode, and that's each player of each team. And I draw into three crush under foot's and no giants... then, when we're up 1 to 5, they draw and each play a big flyer, 3/3 and a 2/3 while the only creature on our side of the field is a 1/1 w/out flying. Then, I draw possibly the worst card in my deck, and win the game. I play the Hillcomber Giant and use two of my 3 crush underfoots to wipe out their blockers, and we swing for the win! It was the closest and most insane game I've ever played in.
Then I got my prize, an FNM promo terminate and two lorwyn packs, out of which I pull Thoughseize & Chandra Nalaar. Possibly the best draft of my life. My teacher, for some reason, even printed out certificates to give to everyone who placed, it was hilarious XD.
This all was going on with a dance in the gym right next door to the cafeteria we were in. So, people who never play magic are congratulating me on winning, and tons of them were watching w/ a few telling my teacher they want to learn to play.
Wow, that took a long time to fully express...
Hm, now I'd better comment on something else so I don't look conceited...
I think the holiday magic card exchange looks cool, I'm going to consider doing it.

I'll bet you wish you had a non-unglued/unhinged card that shared your first name.
come to think of it im thinking about building a legacy deck with either intet the dreamer or with another of the planar choas dragons or stuffy doll.
anyway i just got back from work another 8 hour shift it was pretty long and also i was doing checking all day long non-stop just glad to be home and one more day of that tommorrow then i have monday and tuesday off. Anyhow have a great night everyone and also a good day.
Damn that sounds like a fun draft.. excellent pulls, and congratulations! Giants, if you can draft enough stinkers and play it smart, is a sleeper hit in LLL draft
being outgunned has never held more meaning than now.
apparently walmart is selling $10 dart shotguns...so 5 kids on the floor have the shotties, 1 kid has a 6-shot dart revolver, and me? I'm stuck with a dart-gun pen with 2 darts and a single fire.
the only advantages I have are reload speed and concealability...so yeah, I get hit pretty often...

Dang it, yet again, I said I was coming back, and I haven't posted in like a week. Maybe it would help if I played Magic...well, anyway, I'll at least try to participate, but it's kind of hard when I don't know what most of you are talking about.
Well, about my life, nothing much has changed. I'm getting close to the end of college apps, but the end is the hardest part. And let's see, oh, if anyone remembers that girl that I talked about all the time before, and then I said I was over her, well, turns out I'm not. I kinda liked this other girl, and I asked her out, and she said no, but afterwards, I wasn't really disappointed. And when I saw the first girl at school the next day, I think I realized that I never really stopped having feelings for her, and the other crush was just an excuse to stop liking her. Well, now she broke up with her old boyfriend, so I guess I have a chance. I'm going to wait a week or so, and maybe gather up the courage to ask her out. I don't know, it's hard to really know, but I really do think I'm in love with her...
Anyway, I wasn't expecting to write that much, but whatever. I hope everyone's doing okay, and is having a good weekend. Good night!
P.S. I screwed up my first FCC card in a while :p, but whatever, I'll try again next month and see if I can get my groove back.

awww well goodluck in your future relationship and goodluck in applying for college. Best wishes to you as always strongbad!
yeah i thought about doing an FCC as well well maybe not quite sure yet. Anyway I am going to head to bed pretty soon I am pretty tired so have a good night everyone.
Charm_Master-- Well, Swath is only a buck or two. It's at least something. Maybe add the Knolls also, they're cheap. And more chargelands.
Foolycooly-- Awesome. Good luck at the new job. What is the starting pay?
Koolkoal-- Awesome. That did sound like lots of fun. Giants can be a beast if they're available.
Holiday Magic Card Exchange-- I'm afraid I can't be in on that. I lack artistic talent.
Good luck with the girl, strongbad.
I feel terrible. I slept for about 8 hours, then laid in bed for another 2. I seriously was wondering whether I'd get out of bed at all today. I don't feel physically sick, just burned out. I got a nap in earlier today and it's still not enough. And with finals week coming up, and if I don't get all B's my dad will stop paying for my college, and I'll have to find a way to pay for all of it. I have no motivation to do anything really for the whole day. So, enough complaining from me, I'm going to pack it in early. (Ironically enough, early is now midnight). Good night, Coffeehouse!
Card Exchange: I actually CAN draw freehand (it takes awhile) but drawing on a Magic card is a royal pain in the rear. My plan is a playset of Unhinged islands, specially banned by yours truly. That should be easy enough to manage.
I'd do Kokusho, but I only have one, and it's foily. Nope!
And yes, no incantatrix for you. Or anyone. That class makes puppies cry. Mostly because they are the former Big Bads who have been Baleful Polymorphed into said puppies. By you. Because you're an incantatrix.

Spoilered so people who don't care don't have to read it.
A little background: this is set after the City of the Spider Queen adventure, with the "main" character (yeah, there is one, sort of) being a Chosen of Kiaranselee. He traveled with a good-aligned party during CotSQ, by telling them he would show them to a minor artifact known as the Claw of the Revenancer. (geh, I hate that thing -_-) At the conclusion of that, when the party had to fight Irae (one party member died and got smacked with her Curse of the Revenancer ability; Yathrinshee= Tech), it was Necrotius who prevailed, especially after Irae tried to cast Miracle and got slapped down in favor of Necrotius. He rushed her dead body and grabbed the Claw, and his insane goddess was overly pleased with him- granting him Chosen status and turning him into a lich. Best line: "I TOLD you I'd show it to you!!" to the rest of the party.
Well, in the intervening three years since, he's been rebuilding the church, since one of his former party members used a Wish to blow the Undying Temple into nothing.
A group of dark elves have learned the secret of Elven High Magic from a few ancestral kiira gems, and they cast a spell designed to wipe the memory of Kiaranselee from the minds of all her worshippers. This comes from a novel. In the nivel, it was entirely successful. Here's where I go and modify stuff. I gave every worshipper of Kiaranselee with 15+ HD a Will save. Necrotius auto-passed. Now, his goddess has charged him with getting revenge against those who tried to erase her from existence (in the Realms, a god's power is directly proportionate to the number of worshippers he or she has) so she gave him a list of "People to Kill". He's NE, so he's all for it.
In comes the other two characters, one of which is a half-drow half moon elf ex-cleric of Vhaeraun, now worships Eilistraee. The other is a drow female assassin charged with finding said ex-cleric and returning him to his former group...though she saw him in combat and decided that "screw THAT, they don't PAY me enough". (He's two-weapon in a different way; he wields double weapons in each hand. Yes, there's a feat for that.)
The ex-cleric is charged with watching Necrotius by his church. Considering recent events outlined in the Lady Penitent series (which I took and ran with; I HAD to, it felt like) he is allowed to blend his arts of stealth with the arts of the sword dancer...and is actually pretty good at it, too.
Well, on Necrotius's list is a host of spellcasters. Included on this list is the caster who Wished away the Undying Temple. The one he went after last night is in Sshamath- the head of the College of Divination.
Diviners are nasty. VERY nasty. They see you coming two weeks before you come.
So he allowed himself to be "ambushed". The diviner steps from his carriage, smiling.
Necrotius throws Ray of Stupidity. Diviner smiles bigger and counters it. Oh, wait...he does have that one archmage level, Master of Counterspelling...
Ouchies.
Necrotius then tries an Energy Drain. Good thing liches are immune, huh, because it went sailing back at him.
Well, a rule was bent. The yathrinshee class states you have to be female. Well, I figure if you're in favor with your goddess enough to be Chosen, then you can damned well take the class. He's a yathrinshee himself (ewwww lichloved). He goes and uses his Keening ability. Acts like Wail of the Banshee. Ouchies.
Female assassin has to roll a natural 20 to pass. Fails. Epic reroll. Fails again.
Rogue/cleric is in the wagon, undetectable to anything short of metafaculty thanks to a third eye conceal. He's currently looking for spare change, since he's done his damnedest to act likea cold-blooded killer and has never actually killed any of those he claimed to. Keening has a 30ft radius, centered on the caster. It's freaking supernatural to boot. Rogue/cleric looks to see if he remembered to Death Ward himself. Nope.
Then he remembers that he was on the far side of the wagon. I gave percentage that he'd be just outside the radius. 25%. I roll...
18%.
My dice love my PCs. I swear it.
Diviner burns Moment of Prescience to gain +25 to his Fort save and passes.
He goes, use death touch ability (special ability granted by Chosen template). I roll...18, total of 38. DC was...37.
We had to stop the combat there, with one PC now zombified (Curse of the Revenancer) and one thankful that apprently his goddess smiled on him...and the diviner still breathing.
It's interesting, and I like running that world when my PCs actually roleplay.
And yes, no incantatrix for you. Or anyone. That class makes puppies cry. Mostly because they are the former Big Bads who have been Baleful Polymorphed into said puppies. By you. Because you're an incantatrix.

@KK: That draft sounds amazing. I've had some ridiculous (and hilarious) games and those sound like they're right up there. Also some nice pulls out of those prize packs.
being outgunned has never held more meaning than now.

Not much else to say here.
@AoK: That campaign sounds...interesting. I can honestly say I've never played an epic campaign other than yours in the P&PI, so I'm not particularly experienced with them. However, that campaign sounds like your PCs are acting in hilarious, and rather evil ways (though you said they were evil, so that makes sense). Also...
Diviners are nasty. VERY nasty. They see you coming two weeks before you come.
QFTAH (Quoted For Truth And Hilarity)
Anyway, I may not be around quite as much today as I was for the last two days. I have quite a bit of work to get done today which will likely keep me off MTGS for the better part of the day.
A diviner is a specialist Wizard who specializes in Divination. Check the PHB for rules on specialist wizards, etc. Amusingly enough, Divination is a small enough, weak enough school that Diviners only have to give up one school of magic instead of the usual two.
A wizard who specializes in the Divination school. Normally, a specialist must give up two schools of magic (you get benefits) but a diviner only has to give up one.

I'll be sending a few commons, at least one of which being a salt & pepper skitter might toss in a lorwyn card or 2, even if I can't doodle much with them...
and more proof that I've a twisted mind: I've come up with the 2nd-craziest draft idea ever (the craziest being cube with unsets and booster tutors)
The draft? Unhinged Winston.
...I'll let that sink in for a while...

Morning everybody! Not much happenin' here except yesterday I was gone all day tagging along with my mom to the crafts fair where she was selling her batiks.. If anybody's interested in seeing some o' my mom's work its here: www.paulaspaintings.com
Also where is the Holiday Magic Card Exchange, link?? I'd like to read the rules and see if maybe i can partake..
Hmm.. Stuff hasn't PMed me yet... ah well he was prob busy with taking care of his Japan plans!
Congratulations to Kevin (how do you always get the every-100-post cookies!?) for the 1900th post :cookie:!
I'm going to check in on Half-Life, see if i missed much, post, then prob gonna get offline while i wait for my dad to call and tell me when we're gonna pick up a Christmas tree this afternoon.
Omna: The thread you requested. If you feel you can doodle well enough, you should be able to participate.
I meant to do this earlier but it kept slipping my mind with other things running by now but I'm gonna say it now even though it's wayyyy late. A very belated congrats to Mr. Stuff on his job!
I've decided I'm gonna try to enter this gift exchange, and get my sister (who's an Art major in college) to draw on a playset of Prodigal Sorcerer. Maybe even a foil one, though I doubt it. TSP is fine.

EDIT: ooh.. 8 posts before I hit 2,300!
Hehe I am not sure how i get the 100 post cookies but for this thread i only collected about 3 cookies i think so i have been slacking a little bit. Well have fun omna.
I came to an consesus that i should build another legacy control deck with vorosh, the hunter which seems like an awesome choice against the likes of threshold because of its great ability evasion. I also thought about playing with pernious deed with the likes of river boa and maybe grave-shell scarab as well as tarmogoyfs. The deck will probably run daze and force of will and maybe thoughtseize and hymn to tourach. But we will see i am going to try to cook up something like that later tonight after get back from work unless im incredibly tired then ill just play wild arms 5 or something instead.
Well anyway I am going to get going have to go to work in a little while ill talk to you all later though have a good day everyone and happy holidays!
Love,
Cecilia

A little background: this is set after the City of the Spider Queen adventure, with the "main" character (yeah, there is one, sort of) being a Chosen of Kiaranselee. He traveled with a good-aligned party during CotSQ, by telling them he would show them to a minor artifact known as the Claw of the Revenancer. (geh, I hate that thing -_-) At the conclusion of that, when the party had to fight Irae (one party member died and got smacked with her Curse of the Revenancer ability; Yathrinshee= Tech), it was Necrotius who prevailed, especially after Irae tried to cast Miracle and got slapped down in favor of Necrotius. He rushed her dead body and grabbed the Claw, and his insane goddess was overly pleased with him- granting him Chosen status and turning him into a lich. Best line: "I TOLD you I'd show it to you!!" to the rest of the party.
Well, in the intervening three years since, he's been rebuilding the church, since one of his former party members used a Wish to blow the Undying Temple into nothing.
A group of dark elves have learned the secret of Elven High Magic from a few ancestral kiira gems, and they cast a spell designed to wipe the memory of Kiaranselee from the minds of all her worshippers. This comes from a novel. In the nivel, it was entirely successful. Here's where I go and modify stuff. I gave every worshipper of Kiaranselee with 15+ HD a Will save. Necrotius auto-passed. Now, his goddess has charged him with getting revenge against those who tried to erase her from existence (in the Realms, a god's power is directly proportionate to the number of worshippers he or she has) so she gave him a list of "People to Kill". He's NE, so he's all for it.
In comes the other two characters, one of which is a half-drow half moon elf ex-cleric of Vhaeraun, now worships Eilistraee. The other is a drow female assassin charged with finding said ex-cleric and returning him to his former group...though she saw him in combat and decided that "screw THAT, they don't PAY me enough". (He's two-weapon in a different way; he wields double weapons in each hand. Yes, there's a feat for that.)
The ex-cleric is charged with watching Necrotius by his church. Considering recent events outlined in the Lady Penitent series (which I took and ran with; I HAD to, it felt like) he is allowed to blend his arts of stealth with the arts of the sword dancer...and is actually pretty good at it, too.
Well, on Necrotius's list is a host of spellcasters. Included on this list is the caster who Wished away the Undying Temple. The one he went after last night is in Sshamath- the head of the College of Divination.
Diviners are nasty. VERY nasty. They see you coming two weeks before you come.
So he allowed himself to be "ambushed". The diviner steps from his carriage, smiling.
Necrotius throws Ray of Stupidity. Diviner smiles bigger and counters it. Oh, wait...he does have that one archmage level, Master of Counterspelling...
Ouchies.
Necrotius then tries an Energy Drain. Good thing liches are immune, huh, because it went sailing back at him.
Well, a rule was bent. The yathrinshee class states you have to be female. Well, I figure if you're in favor with your goddess enough to be Chosen, then you can damned well take the class. He's a yathrinshee himself (ewwww lichloved). He goes and uses his Keening ability. Acts like Wail of the Banshee. Ouchies.
Female assassin has to roll a natural 20 to pass. Fails. Epic reroll. Fails again.
Rogue/cleric is in the wagon, undetectable to anything short of metafaculty thanks to a third eye conceal. He's currently looking for spare change, since he's done his damnedest to act likea cold-blooded killer and has never actually killed any of those he claimed to. Keening has a 30ft radius, centered on the caster. It's freaking supernatural to boot. Rogue/cleric looks to see if he remembered to Death Ward himself. Nope.
Then he remembers that he was on the far side of the wagon. I gave percentage that he'd be just outside the radius. 25%. I roll...
18%.
My dice love my PCs. I swear it.
Diviner burns Moment of Prescience to gain +25 to his Fort save and passes.
He goes, use death touch ability (special ability granted by Chosen template). I roll...18, total of 38. DC was...37.
We had to stop the combat there, with one PC now zombified (Curse of the Revenancer) and one thankful that apprently his goddess smiled on him...and the diviner still breathing.
It's interesting, and I like running that world when my PCs actually roleplay.

Not much else to say here.
@AoK: That campaign sounds...interesting. I can honestly say I've never played an epic campaign other than yours in the P&PI, so I'm not particularly experienced with them. However, that campaign sounds like your PCs are acting in hilarious, and rather evil ways (though you said they were evil, so that makes sense). Also...

Anyway, I may not be around quite as much today as I was for the last two days. I have quite a bit of work to get done today which will likely keep me off MTGS for the better part of the day.

I don't care if I was framed for murder if I only got a warning I would let it go.
What is a diviner?

I'll be sending a few commons, at least one of which being a salt & pepper skitter might toss in a lorwyn card or 2, even if I can't doodle much with them...
and more proof that I've a twisted mind: I've come up with the 2nd-craziest draft idea ever (the craziest being cube with unsets and booster tutors)
The draft? Unhinged Winston.
...I'll let that sink in for a while...

I meant to do this earlier but it kept slipping my mind with other things running by now but I'm gonna say it now even though it's wayyyy late. A very belated congrats to Mr. Stuff on his job!

Hehe I am not sure how i get the 100 post cookies but for this thread i only collected about 3 cookies i think so i have been slacking a little bit. Well have fun omna.
I came to an consesus that i should build another legacy control deck with vorosh, the hunter which seems like an awesome choice against the likes of threshold because of its great ability evasion. I also thought about playing with pernious deed with the likes of river boa and maybe grave-shell scarab as well as tarmogoyfs. The deck will probably run daze and force of will and maybe thoughtseize and hymn to tourach. But we will see i am going to try to cook up something like that later tonight after get back from work unless im incredibly tired then ill just play wild arms 5 or something instead.
Well anyway I am going to get going have to go to work in a little while ill talk to you all later though have a good day everyone and happy holidays!
Love,
Cecilia
