Definitely be happy about the new thread! Psi is still around from time to time
EDIT: Zaphod and The [Pack] wish to form a formal alliance with us; apparently the request went unnoticed in the previous thread. I'd like to throw it out to everyone for their thoughts and opinions on the matter.
Im around every day :).
An alliance sounds good, Zaphod always seemed cool to me.:)
it has a real hard time with ichorid, but a solid matchup against anything else. the dynamic part of this deck is the tutor toolbox, allowing you to runt he 2 swords and a jitte and be able to swap betweent hem witht he sideboard. another interesting thing that the tutor can do, the worship can be spectacular vs. stuff like burn

Looks good, I would think that that should be submitted asap if everyone else agrees to it (still I think it is better than the rare version, but that is just my inner timmy speaking I think).

I think my idea was closer to the original card, and I agree this is probably better because you can target the spell when the original can't. I still like 'counter the first activated or triggered ability that targets ~ each turn unless its controller pays 2'. It's like shroud and like the second ability all wrapped into a mediocre common package.
Edit @ Glur: Well it's supposed to be a common, if we make a card better than the original I can't see how that will be a good thing, especially if the card is supposed to be a common. The card I saw was an uncommon and the card i'm still suggesting feels so much like an uncommon. 2UU for a 1/2 with the same ability just feels like unplayable garbage. I hate the card we got. -_-
i snuck a peek in izzet's thread, mainly to see what their response was to gaea's guardian. let's just say that i think we fulfilled any unconscious desire to make a good card w/ the guardian. cause it's frickin nuts!
I don't have any hard numbers on this, but I'm targeted more often than a black guy driving a beat-up sedan with a broken tail-light and no license plate, and Cy's well aware of that.
There's only about a month left until Norwegian Nationals, and while I think I'm covered in the standard part of the event, I suck at LLM drafts, and have hardly played any Shadowmoor at all. I've played a decent bit of LLM, but I can't win consistently, and my limited rating on MtGO dropped below 1800 today for the first time in well over a year... I'm a decent player, but all my decks are just garbage. I can't draft the format well. I think I've tried everything - forcing (blue usually, obv), leave myself open to whatever comes and pay very close attention to signals, and four- or five-color green. And I can't consistently win, and it bothers me. For example: I always seem to lose against Kithkin, but I'm never able to win with them myself, even though it's wide open. Do you have any idea what I might be doing wrong? I want to have LLM-drafting under control before moving on to SSS
my friend and i had alot of success with a blue splash in white weenie. mainly for meddling mage and stifle. just something you might consider.
also known as fish? ya, it works spectacularly, but i dont have the money for the duals. also, the fetches are spectacular for keeping the juice flowing.
@Psi: its angel stompy, minus all the key components of Stompy:p
Angel Stompy cost WAY to much for my budget.
also, on a side note, im not able to hit up my local reigonals, sadly. damn SATs, even worse, damn procrastination. oh well, ill deal with it tomorrow:D
EDIT: fixed the crypt situation. i dont know why i didnt have that posted
Zaphod -- I'll add you to the friends list. Sorry about that! To revisit the alliance discussion, Zaphod, what exactly would the alliance do? I've no opposition to the idea, but I'm a bit curious as to what exactly it'll do.

How often would you run this in your blue deck? Almost never... It's so narrow its stifling (AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH I'M SO FUNNY!!!!!) its playability. The other one is definitely better than this since it A)Hard counters, and B) it says you MAY... you don't have to counter your own abilities.
Plus having shroud all at UU is pretty decent. This thing is garbage in comparison. I mean, HOW many activated/triggered abilities do you see in competitive play? Not as many as one might actually think... And being a soft counter for 2? That's not much of a pain in the butt... Especially for Bitterblossom/anything with Suspend. (Like, seriously).
I guess the card we have is fine, it's just a little complicated for a common. Most good common cards are simple, but then again look at ponder. I like my idea better but it's no big deal, I say send it in.
On a related note, I only JUST realized how hard that rare would hose bitterblossom.

yeah the rare pretty much shuts bitterblossom off
Still, I think the common we have should be an uncommon at the least, or be more expensive.... however I am good with sending it in as is.

Yeah I wanted to secure my spot in your extendo
So this is right?

What if we made it unless they pay 1? That'd lower it's power considerably without making it complete jank (I mean, a 1/1 for 4 would totally suck...)
