I think I now want to make a Wizard Deck - the Wizardcyler gives great utility, and there's a whole lot of Wizards out there with many cool legends to boost.
Check out my banner. I make a pretty mean wizard deck. Feel free to brainstorm some ideas.

Is anyone of you guys into making muffins? I'm searching for new Ideas to try out, because I'm kinda mentally stuck with choclate variations at the moment...
Not that there's anything wrong with chocolate and cherry (and nut, and almond, and banana, and...) muffins - they're delicious. But I kinda want to try out something different.
When it comes to baking, im more of a cake maker (and I generally don't stray from dark chocolate), but have you ever tried Cranberry Orange muffins? Those are freaking amazing. I don't know the recippe, but I bet it's only a google away. I would stick with the one that uses the most natural ingredients.

He doesn't draw another comic strip, but he is on this forum, doing other things.
I didn't realize that he was on our forums. Thats cool.
Edit:
Remember that :symw::symu: deck you guys were working on? Well, I just had a breakthrough idea for it. How about branching out from the original idea a little bit. Make a :symu::symw: counter/wrath/draw deck, but maindeck 4 Pact of Negation and some number of trickbind and angel's grace.
Trickbind is a powerful and usefull spell already, it's nice being able to justify maindeck slots for it. Angels grace, is decent by itself, it's not as versatile as trickbind, but it does have uses. It's a functinal fog when you are on deaths door against aggro. But the trick is, both cards sacrifice a little card advantage to make negation a more well rounded spell. It's not so vulnerable to tap out on turn three for a compulsive research, when you can safely set on a pact of negation with the only upkeep being :symw:. Outside of this use, both of these spells are very powerful against the most prevelant deck in the format: Dragonstorm.
Also, that deck looks really nice. Pretty version of last years eh?
Hehe you know me too well FL. Yeah, it's the next step in my facination with hunted leyline. Call it one last fling before rotation.
I had a lot of sucess with my old one. I wonder if this one is better? The other managed to have a little higher threat density, due to not having trickbind and angel's grace, but this one has a stronger control aspect, and a little more versatility at getting the hunteds safely into play.
And yeah, you are right. I totally stole the :symw::symu: idea from you.
@Stahl: You should watch at least the first season, it's cool.
Well, my roommate just bought a PC off of a friend for $200 to help her out of a bind, and - well, it's slow as ****. No kidding. I tried to download the XP service pack 2 for Networked computers and the damn thing wouldn't get off of the initialization screen! I want to wipe it and format, but he doesn't have the back-up disks. I was told that since it's a Gateway the site should let me download the disks, but I can't get the stupid thing to quit stalling long enough to download anything!! I'm about to throw it out a window.
Note to self - never buy PC's off of a friend.
@CharlieD - I'm working on regionals as well. If you have MWS, would you want to playtest some? I'm trying to decide on dragonstorm, or my new Baracouda deck.
Well, we left Thursday afternoon at around 4pm. We arrived at Byron at 8pm, I think (45 minute stop for dinner included).
On Friday, we were set up in cabins etc. In the morning, I worked on a watercolour painting of a scene with Hay Bales etc. And that was going well. I got the sky done (which disappointed me, because it didn't gradient like I wanted it to) and the grass down the bottom of it.
In the afternoon, we had a quick session learning how to sand sculpt, which was really fun. We did it with Australia's best sand sculptor, Steve Machell (www.sandology.com). That afternoon, we went down again, everyone this time, and we worked in pairs to create a kind of spiral city thing. Steve did an amazing sculpture at the centre, and we spiralled off from him. My friend Emily and I did a fantastic star with steps on it and everything. It looked so smooth; I never realized we could do stuff like that with sand. I have lots of pictures, so I'll post some soon.
On Saturday, we started by working on canvas and creating texture, etc. I found this very disappointing, just because I ****ing hate working with textures and stuff.
Then we did photography later on, which was fun, I guess. I'm a fan of photography, but not when we have to ****ing do it off certain criterions. E.G colour, texture, rhythm and movement, etc.
Then we did some B&W photography that was a little better. It was easier to do stuff for. Plus I like SLR cameras much more than regular digital ones.
I did some more work on my watercolour and got the ground and bales done. I swear, it looked ALOT better in the semi-light on the porch of the cabin than it did in full light. I'm going to have to fix it up a bit.
Yeah, then we left. :xd:
I have a few assignments at the moment that are stressing me out. The art camp came at the worst time ever, when I have 3+ drafts due in the next two weeks and I missed four days of working on them. I have made sufficient progress on my maths tonight, and I'm about to start working on my english draft.
Honestly... third week of school and I'm over it already.

Kill me, please.
I hate working with texture on canvas as well. In fact, these days, I try as hard as I can to create a complete lack of texture.
About the watercolor. Yeah, that sucks. I'm sure it did look a lot better in the light of the porch, because you painted it to look good in a low light setting. Next time, try bringing out a light to focus on the painting while you work, this way, you will be painting in the correct enviroment.
The sandscape sounds amazing. I can't wait to see your photos of it.
Wow. Art camp. I've never been to one. I went to Girl Scout camp once when I was 12. That was fun, but not the same thing. It sucks that you broke your toe, though. I can say that I've never broken a bone *knock on wood*.
In other news, it turns out that the processor on the used PC was crap. 128k. I asked my roomate for the specs when he bought it, but he was too worried about helping out a friend. Well, we gave it back to her, got back the $200, added another $150 to it, and got a refurbished Compaq. It's a 2005, with XP, a 512k cpu and I forget how much space. Needless to say much better than the one my friend sold us. She was actually ok with taking it back, too. I told her that if she needed any cash to ask. I don't mind giving someone a helping hand when needed.
So, now we have 2 computers, and I was finally able to play Black & White 2. My old PC was only 256k, and I needed a 512. So, I'm happy!
I just scored a nice new wireless keyboard and mouse from a friend who is moving. I tried to get him to toss his big-ass flatscreen in, but he said "hell no!"
@Jaede - What is Black and White 2? Or 1 for that matter.

Black and White is a game where you become a god of a small village. You get a familiar, and then I think you fight other gods to control the whole land. It's pretty fun.
I had High Ropes course today, which was pretty fun. I did the entire course, plus the flying fox and the pole jump, where you climb (awkwardly) a very small ladder and then jump off a platform and try and hit this ball that's suspended a little bit away. I hit it.
Well, you don't fight other gods, but that's pretty much right. It's more like Myst. You become good or evil depending on what you do to your subjects. Tere are mini-quests and stuff. It's fun squishing the little people with rocks!
Read about my overwhelming and very lame assignments here!
Oh, I also have a watercolour piece to finish by Friday WITH all my research complete. o_o **** **** ****.
I finally got the 3rd collection of Eureka Seven. Jesus, after about four months of looking it FINALLY comes out. It's a killer one, too. Dreams in Coralians FTW??
Also, my old friend sent me a PM today saying he's thinking of quitting magic, and asked me if I wanted his cards. I dunno if he meant, just give them to me or sell them to me, but I reckon either way I'd get them. He has some amazing stuff.
Off to do schoolwork. Wish me luck, guys. Seriously.
I need to watch Eureka. I heard it was good, but I have so many I'm watching right now. I just finished Trinity Blood. It was awsome, but surprisingly abrupt in it's ending. I hope that means they're coming out with more!
I also hope he gives you the cards. That would be awsome! Keep us updated.
And tonight me and my group are going to be play sealed with FS only..MORE CARDBOARD CRACK!!!!!!!! Yummy

You know, I'm pretty sure if there was ever a sex tape of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt that got leaked to the public, watching it would cure people of cancer. I'm ****ing serious. Either that or make their eyes bleed for they have seen the true face of God.
So I got this message from MTGsalvation about how I haven't been posting, so here I am? Life's been kinda busy. The recent craziness in the Legacy format has opt me to not care for it for a little while (Although consequences of it, there may be an excuse to play one of my favorite deck). As of late, I've been playing Ultimate Frisbee 4times a week, running, and studying for my up-coming finals next week. So umm anyways, who want to give Twinkee Street Wraiths? Pretty please?
Also, I saw the episode of Bleach your avatar is from at Supanova.

I want to call the deck: Dragonslayer
The other idea I have is:
Hunted Leyline deck
4 Hunted Horror
3 Hunted Phantasam
1 Jotun Grunt
4 Remand
3 Mana Leak
4 Rune Snag
3 Ange's Grace
4 Leyline of Singularity
Just the smallest splash of white. Call it fish if you like, I think it's a killer though.
Hehe you know me too well FL. Yeah, it's the next step in my facination with hunted leyline. Call it one last fling before rotation.

@Magic Deckzz: I'm trying to decide on my Regionals deck, and I'm thinking either Glare, or some UW deck.

will be back on vacation from the 6th to the 20th.
Ahem. WTF? I had to re-read that, like, 3 times to realize what you meant. Asterisks suck...
I hope that english doesn't kill you before your vacation. Have fun!
I do have other pics, just not fixed/uploaded yet.
The following two are images of the Star that my friend Emily and I made;
Well, I went to a realease party today for FS. I did bad in the game, but I pulled a Jhoira of the Ghitu, Graven Cairns, Horizon Canopy, Glittering Wish, Mishra, Artificer Prodigy, Sliver Legion (foily!), Pact of Negation, Stupor, Thelonite Hermit, and some other premium stuff! The guys went crazy over the cairn, but It's too hot to trade.
All in all, a good day!
Is the Cairn a hot card at the moment?
Sweet. I have one.
So, I'm trying to get Jester's Cap and Jester's Scepter, but no one seems to have them locally. That sucks!
@Stahl -- LOL...Nice piles you got there
I got 2 boxes of FS and did well. Got 2 Gibbering Descent; 2 Nihilith; 2 Shimian Specter; 2 Bitter Ordeal; 2 Bridge from Below; 2 Korlash, Heir to Blackblade; 1 Tombstalker; 1 Angel of Salvation; 1 Barren Glory; 2 Magus of the Moat; 2 Scout's Warning; 1 Imperial Mask; 1 Oriss, Samite Guardian; 2 Magus of the Future; 2 Pact of Negation; 1 Linessa, Zephyr Mage; 2 Shapeshifter's Marrow; 1 Spellweaver Volute; 1 Magus of the Moon; 2 Molten Disaster; 2 Thunderblade Charge; 3 Force of Savagery 1 of them foily; 2 Heartwood Storyteller; 2 Baru, Fist of Krosa; 1 Quagnoth; 1 Jhoira of the Ghitu; 1 Sliver Legion; 2 Akroma's Memorial; 2 Whetwheel; 1 Veilstone Amulet; 1 Graven Cairns; 1 Grove of the Burnwillows; 1 Horizon Canopy; 1 River of Tears; and some stuff I'm either not thinking about or is not worth mentioning
