I keep thinking I need to make a Darien, King of Kjeldor EDH deck, forcused on using his trigger to keep me alive, apart from General Damage, using Soul Warden effects.
I liked Darien, King of Kjeldor as a card, but mono-colored EDH decks doesn't really cut it for me.:-/
I like his effect, too, and it makes for a cool balance of offense and defense. Throw a Sublime Archangel in there for shiggles.
I just need to get it all worked out, and I think it can be fun.
Sure, why not? With EDH, anything is possible. There are plenty of playable white cards. If I were to go through the same route, I know I would go for a soldiers sub-theme.
Have you guys tried finding casual games on Cockatrice before? I've only used it for Vintage and Commander, so I'd be interested to see what it's like playing casual games on there.
You're better off playing with a friend. I've played "casual" games on there and have been obliterated by Mox _____________ + Tendrils of Agony. Not really "casual."
Also, when I played a Reassembling Skeleton from the graveyard, a random opponent complained, "You can't play spells from the graveyard," then rage quit because I "clearly don't know how to play."

I am on cockatrice occasionally. I use the same user name as on here. In fact, my user name is pretty uniform across all the forum sites i visit regularly!
I decided to try out EDH after much consideration. I decided that since my favorite color is black, Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief will head my first commander deck. Any ideas anyone? I have read the primers and chosen something that suits my playstyle to start with. So far I have:

If I may chime in on 'Trice... since I DLed it some weeks ago, I tend to fair ok with playing random people - apart from the random ragequit or rules issues. I've only walked into like 3 people pulling out broken decks on me. kick 'em, move on.

I remember seeing you on there....you typed a message to me, but I was unaware of the message feature. I didn't see it until much later.

It appears that the Clan Mafia contest may be starting soon, any Finks interested in taking part in it?
I'd love to see someone from our clan participate in this contest. Alas, I do not think I am the one to do it.
As for the other contest.....does anyone have any more input on the double-faced card? I'm pretty satisfied with our "A-Side" so far, but something about the "B-Side" just isn't sitting with me. We could use as much input as we can get!
And as for my last post.....I did go to see Moonrise Kingdom last night ($5.00 tickets on Tuesdays!), and it was kind of meh.
I had a most satisfying game today on Cockatrice. It wasnt winning that made it special, it was getting to see both decks do what they were meant to do, being neck and neck.
I ran turbofog with rites of flourishing and managed two out by turn 5 vs a dragonstorm deck. This helped us both reach critical points where the only advantage i had against 13 5/5 or bigger dragons bashing my face was fog. I eventually won with increasing confusion, milling his/her last 2 out even though i didnt have to. It was great fun! If the person who played that game with me reads this, I hope you had as much fun as i did.
OK, so there are severe thunderstorms and a tornado moving through my area (Hudson Valley). I went to grab my video camera to catch the wind, but of course, the wind died significantly by the time I was ready to film.
I'll keep you posted--the lights are flickering, looks like I'll be starting the generator up soon.
LOL thanks, the weather stations completely blew this out of proportion. We had maybe 5 minutes of heavy winds. I regret that I tied everything down outside.

Yep, my weather station did the same thing, They've been hyping this cold front as if some massive tornado outbreaks are going to happen...I think I saw a couple dark clouds, couple things of lightning/thunder and it didn't even rain...:-/. Better safe than sorry I guess.
As for the clan contest, sorry I can't help...Mafia isn't my thing.
Looks like the weather reports weren't hype. There was at least one confirmed tornado in NY. It may not have been in your area, but still.
We got a tease last night. I looked at the radar as the storm was approaching and it showed the southern tip of the storm about 5 miles north of our town. It got really windy and then nothing.
I'm so fortunate I guess. I play magic 2-3 times a week!
Even then, I can't get enough mileage out of my Legacy, Modern, Standard and EDH decks. Yeah, I play all 4 formats.
I liked Darien, King of Kjeldor as a card, but mono-colored EDH decks doesn't really cut it for me.:-/

I've got all of you beat. I play against my friend once a year when I go visit him and the rest of the year I playtest my decks against each other.
I like his effect, too, and it makes for a cool balance of offense and defense. Throw a Sublime Archangel in there for shiggles.

Thats gotta take the cake for me...:rofl:
I used to playtest my decks against each other in the past.....I never quite lasted more than 10mins doing that...

I'll get back with you when I'm done with school and my kids are a little older.
I hear you. By the time my kids are in bed, I'm too tired to play.

Don't play vs. random people on cockatrice!

I think I played you a bit. Used a Bant Pod deck.
Thinking of going to see Moonrise Kingdom tonight by myself. Kids are in bed, etc....
Is it worth it? Did anyone see it?

I don't get to go to the movies often, so I'll probably be spending the next time on TDKR.

Cockatrice's main issue are server time-outs, but it's not like MWS doesn't have those either
Plus, you know, multiplayer EDH games can be done on 'Trice.
