Actually turning a bop into a shock isn't the worst idea. For 2 life you cut them out of a turn of tempo, which is fairly important.
Only if the deck you're playing against needs the tempo. If not, you just cost yourself two life and a card in order to counter a not so important spell. I know lots of decks that like to jump from turn 1 to turn 3, but if they cast a two drop, you didn't really accomplish much, other than burning a card and getting shocked for G
Want me at least a pair. I've been championing Chandra v1 and v2 for awhile now. I have every intention of getting Chandra v3, getting someone to alter the art, then keeping a Standard-legal BMFB deck until Innistrad. With Six Chandras, of course.
I'm not that wowed by Chandra. Not saying she isn't good/useful, but I don't think I'm going to out of my way to get her.

Okay, I just noticed that the signups for CC #3 (Mafia) has started. I have no idea how to play. When you mention "Mafia" to me, I have no comment due to possible legal concerns. If anyone wants to represent the Clan, the signup thread is here. For anyone wanting to play, but not represent [ARD], the signup thread is here.

May your games be chaotic and your decks be Rogue.
I never had the slightest idea on how those mafia games work.
In other news, I'm moving out to a new city without magic players anywhere, boomer.
Weee! 2 days until new thread.
So I placed 13th in Nationals which nabbed me 9 booster packs and 1 pro point... yippee....
Heartbreaker last round where I lost to U/B when it was "win and in"
I played Valakut for the t2 portion and all my losses were to U/B control.... and I played U/B 4 times... 3-3 Constructed + 5-1 Limited. Ugh.
I had no playtesting previously, so it definitely cost me a top 8 this time around. Didn't know I'd suck so much against U/B...
I guess there is always next year.
Oh, and to satisfy all of you rogue deckers... a friend of mine 3-0'ed the first standard portion with "Death Shadow Combo" deck... But he like 2-4'ed the draft part and then dropped...

[thread=52196][Alliance of Rogue Deckers!][/thread][My Cube List]
Sorry to hear about your near-miss, Phyrexian. What were you seeing from UB Control, if you don't mind my asking? Valakut isn't a deck that worries me much, but knowing what Control packages I might run up against with my BR Pyromancer - and how I might need to tweak, given it's prior focus on CawBlade - would be helpful.
Sometime in the next 24 hours, the new thread will be posted. I'm putting the finishing touches on it later this evening, and then the Bog[ARD]an Pet Shop will be open for business.
From the recent silence, I'm guessing we don't have anyone interested in Clan Mafia. No problem. M12 is coming, the meta is in flux just from the banhammer, and I know the members here are actively thinking up new homebrews. At least, I hope so. I got nothing so far.
EDIT: Gah. This new thread is taking longer than I anticipated. I should have checked active/inactive members a while ago, but... let's just say that life has not been kind lately. Nothing horrendous, just not conducive to being productive. Thankfully, prepping the thread in a text file has helped a lot. A few more hours, we should be good to go.
EDIT2: We were talking about the 'new thread' in January of 2010. Little late on that one, eh?
EDIT3: After running through 1500+ posts, purklefluff and dademan will be on the list of Active Members. mysterygoo is also moved back to Active status.
