Hey everyone. I've been busy re-adjusting back to home life, and things are going well now, but I can tell that I will start getting stir crazy soon.
I drafted Shards/Con/Reborn on Friday, and wound up with a pretty solid Grixis deck that was based on cheap removal and cheap fliers. I wound up going 2-1 and won two packs. Not too bad. I think I'm going to start playing more again, I missed the game.

Oh man. I'm looking at eight ARB packs over here (opened) that are just... sitting. That just feels wrong to me, like an itch I can't scratch. I can't tell you how much I look forward to visiting my old university friends and playing Magic into the wee hours of the night during the time that I am home this summer.
Heck, Magic is just one of the things I'm missing... I'm on a cheese bender right now... God, what I wouldn't give for a nice wheel of Colby Longhorn.
Heck, I live in the States and the only person I play Magic with these days is Daidream. All my MTG buddies have vanished it seems. It sucks. I'll have to start going to FNM and meet new people..
Speaking of Daidream, we played two nights ago--it was my Domainswalkers deck vs her favorite, White Daidreams, and I stomped her into the ground. It was not too pretty at the end (Progenitus + Lilliana Vess + Garruk Wildspeaker + Jace Beleren and she's got nothing but Elspeth, land, and a Kjeldoran Outpost. Then I played Catastrophe. She folded.)
Yeah, she hated me and that deck.
Last night we played again, this time her with her new GW deck and me with RG, and I beat her again. She didn't like the GW deck, so now I wanna rebuild all of them into more efficient decks, first by taking them all apart and then putting the good ones back together.
In order to do that, I need to invest in another 5000-count box. I've got too many excess cards now.

You win some you lose some. I played in this standard FNM a couple of weekends ago and I pretty much scrubbed out with a 0-2 drop. Apparently I was playing with one of my friend's decks and it didn't do very well against faeries and 5c control maybe because the deck is bad or for the fact that faeries and 5c control gains so much card advantage from drawing cards or just countering spells. On other news my friend is going to the Grand Prix for standard at the end of the month and he wants to borrow my meddling mages. I am not sure if I should considering he was being a jerk to me the last time we hanged out saying that counterbalance and sensei's top were banned in legacy but they aren't. We kept on argueing back and forth for about 20 minutes about that. Then I said heh what do you know about Legacy you only play standard? Then that was the end of our arguement.
So I saw the Star Trek movie. It was... pretty good. The whole 'alternate history' stuff was... a little odd.
Hehe, that's funny one of my other friends he's my best friend in real life and is married now and his wife likes to play magic as well and she loves elves. Whats with female magic players these days? Apparently, she wants to build a legacy survival elves deck that I gave her a list of just so he can beat her husband to the ground. Sounds familiar doesn't it?
Hey guys. I dunno why the hell I'm still up (don't ask), but I just thought of 2 cool ideas.
#1: A new thread. Complete with a reorganized first post. I'm happy to help Omna if she needs it, or I can do it if she allows me.
#2: A new avatar exchange! Either for the Coffeehouse only or for whoever.

Who's up for either?
I'm definitely up #1 :). Possibly #2 too but I just got this Haruhi avatar.
avatar exchange sounds cool. I'm back inschool so I won't be around much. Just a heads up in case you do put up a new thead, I'm not dropping off the face of the earth.
I can be on more often during the evening hours now since i've got a laptop (2001 iBook G3 for $199!!). I'll probably have some time to do some stuff tonight... Alacar's never seeming to be on, but if he gets on tonight, I don't mind setting it up.
Ally, lemme know what time is good for you, and we can set things up. I'm free after say, 5ish or so.
I've been hanging out at Daidream's every evening for the past 5 days, so that's probably the reason. I may most likely be home today though, so let me know just by poking me online. I'm on Yahoo mostly but AIM/MSN is good too.
Mr. Stuff, that just made my day. * Alacar Leoricar chuckles
Right. We need a new thread. Maybe I can give you more recipes to add in the main page. (Even if when I wrote the Salsa recipe I didn't get so many response, but I'm confident that some day one of you will try it)
Hey everyone, Like I promised heres the deck i have been sketching, its still a work in progress and it needs tuning however i like it, I actually wish there was more space so i could add more stuff
I would love to do avatar exchange. The one I got last year was awesome, as was the custom title. (Although I do say I still have the best directly MTG related custom on the site).
Today I must go clothes shopping as I am down to three pairs of shorts and here in New York, the summer months are about to be upon us, and I can't wear jeans in July.
And Danica, next time you are on, I say you start a new thread. We do need one desperately.
I haven't seen or heard from Danica at all lately, even though I know for certain she's been on Facebook. As for the exchange, I dunno if it should be just the Coffeehouse only or all of MTGS.

Do all of MTGS :). No reason why someone should miss out on the fun :).

That's cool, but the funny thing is, I wanna be in the exchange, so someone else would have to run it. Or I could run it, but be in the know as to who is doing my avatar (and be powerless to stop them.)
You could do it, Psi--you don't wanna change your avatar, right?
I could possibly do it. What would I have to specificly do?
Post the initial thread, giving people a deadline to sign up. Collect names, then randomly select who gets who (or be EVIL and "randomly" select them). Give people a deadline to have their assigned avatars done by. Collect the submissions (via PM), make a thread with the results.
I suppose we could wait, but has BotU even started yet? Doesn't that take like a week or more to do, because the voting takes so long between rounds?
It starts officially Friday, but between that and everything else I am currently doing, if I start doing something else right now my head may explode ^_^;.
It will take probably around 2 weeks for BotU to finish once it starts.
