And I hope all players classified as "local talent" get set on fire while falling on a knife and being hung.
This FNM was complete and utter poop thanks to these clowns

cheers, you've got no right to whine. All night, I heard, "I couldn't get the pieces out," from you.
One of the decks you lost to - the white weenie deck you derided because it beat you without you seeing some gross **** he had - won the FNM. He beat me, too, as I was unfortunate enough to both draw my burn with no red mana available and stare down first two Mirran Crusaders, then one with a Sword of War and Peace on it.
**** happens. Don't complain about local talent because it handed you your ass this week. They are part of the reality of Magic we have to deal with.
Also, I must add that your "winning" strategy has resulted in no wins for you. Maybe it's just not good? It's something you ought to consider, at least.
***EDIT***
I was just flipping through some cards and noticed something funny. I wonder if anyone else noticed.
There is a three-card infinite mana combo in Standard right now. All of the cards are in the same set and are the same color. Only one of the three cards must be on the battlefield for the combo to occur, and it's not in green. It's never going to see Standard play, though at least one of the cards in the combo does already.

Seconded all in. Also, I would bet money that, if you faced the mono-green infect deck that was my only loss for the night, you would have lost. Hell, if you had faced me, you probably would have lost. Fog is an awful strategy. Quit before you fall even further behind.

What are the three cards?
No idea. Guessing it's something in red, though, since red has gotten all the infinite mana combos recently.
As for new business....any thoughts on the first few cards of R2R that have been spoiled today? I can already tell that Goblin Electromancer is going to be full of shenanigans.
Wow, I just read thru the 6 pages I missed of clan talking. All right I noticed that there is some kind of new commander set coming out? What's this all about? Also GoC good rants, didn't know your buddy on the radio show liked Alex Jones! ITS REAL SIIIMPAL. Also did anyone see the spoiled poorman's bonfire lolz

The Commander box is not new cards. Known in it are a foil alt art Sylvan Library and foil alt art Command Tower, and oversized generals... as far as cards. There is also a special die that looks easily rollable and looks like it counts to 100, some +/- chips and some sleeves. Rumor has it that some or all of the other 16 regular foil cards in the set will be foil versions of the new generals from last year's decks...
Yeah, I saw the funny bonfire. I love the Izzet ability!!! The 1GB guy they showed is decent also.

Overload? Really? That's the best name they could come up with for that mechanic? Don't get me wrong, I like the flavor of it. But seriously, Wizards, show some effort when naming these things.
Actually, I think they try to be slightly goofy with the Izzet.
Re: infi mana question: Here's another hint: When I said only one card needs to be on the battlefield, I meant that, to perform the combo, at least one of the three cards needs to be on the battlefield at that time. Macius had one of the elements right, but none of the cards...

I don't think I'll be able to contain my excitement until it comes out. The worst part is, it's going to be the AVR Tibalt, and a deck that's "built" around his awful abilities. YAY!!! :/
In other news, no one has solved the infinite mana thing. Here it is, and I said it was a bit abstract... Get Tamiyo's emblem, then play Arcane Melee... Then Ghostly Flicker two lands, gaining one mana each time.
It's never going to happen in Standard, but YAY for more infinite combos for blue.

Yeah, that combo will never be played, period. Pretty funny though.
Which Sorin is it? Either way, I'm interested to see how they do the artwork, since both versions of Sorin have some of my favorite art for Planeswalkers.

a good sum of money says that they'll split that art in two and that be the art....
While the concept seems bad, I would probably pick up the tibalt if thats his art.... I kinda like it..
Also the next DD after this will be Taimyo vs. Sarkhan the Mad
Tagline: "He Blocked the view of the moon.... "
@GoC, that seemed like a trick with the emblem! If I ever see that, I'd laugh my butt off.
FOOTBALL!
This is a neutral ground for football, as many of my own clanmates are into... inferior afc north teams. So, anyone have any runaway predictions before the season starts?

Dunno, but I'd think it would be silly for it not to be the Lord of Innistrad version.

Yeah, I was trying to think of hints for the emblem, but it was hard... Hence my comment about permanents before. It's a substantially silly combo, indeed.
My only prediction for football this year is that the Jets will either finish 11-5 or 5-11. The real issue for the first week, at least, is the replacement referee situation... and how long that continues.

Replacement Refs are irrelevant.
Tebow will make the Jets 11-5 once he takes over. Unleash.

I agree about the refs. The "pros" often make glaring mistakes, so I hope noone will make a big fuss about it.
As for Tebow over Sanchez? We'll see.
First ability kind of meh.. Second ability, mini FOF? Seems good!! Then you basically search for a free spell from I think both your deck and your opponents deck? Jeez... Seems good.
unless he costs 1UUR... at which point I am dislike.
His first ability at least protects him a little bit and could be good if your running USA control (new jace r/u?). Combine with Humility and chill for 30 minutes.
Also, Pox vs. Pox match-ups make me wanna gag. We played all the lands in our decks and he won with a Nether Void lock.
How has everyone been? But onto why im here... I am currently trying to see if I can go to atlantic city for the event next year......
I like more of the new duals than the old ones. All the Wx ones are better, most by far. Watery Grave, Steam Vents, and Blood Crypt are also superior in new art as well.
DMX, cheers and I were watching the previews flood in last night. There were plenty of sick cards revealed.
Jace 4 is alright. Mini FoF is pretty nutty. The ultimate may or may not happen, depending on how decks running it are built, and what further tools are available for them.
I like the 1WG guy that populates. Turn 1 Champion of the Parish, turn 2 Gather some Townsfolk, turn 3 Wandering Temple, turn 4 Rancor the **** out of him and swing away.
The common lands are insane, and making them searchable by the defenders will be maybe sorta cute in Limited.
All the charms seem pretty insane as well.
The artifact that fixes your mana will be one of those expensive cards that people will try to play. Dunno if it will be that good, but we'll have to see more cards.
I LOVE the Azorius mechanic!!! It's so good. I've warmed to Scavenge, have loved Overheat from first sight, and find Populate to be potentially interesting. That stupid Unleash mechanic, though... It just gets worse. Noticed that if the Unleash guys get any +1/+1 counters, ever, it shuts them off blocking. Can't wait to see a rage quit at the prerelease when someone loses because their opponent gives the Unleash guy a counter FTW.
In more rant-based territory, a stupid thing to rant about, but I have to say it. Who chooses the ****ing colors for the FTV dice? Seriously, they've made five FTV sets, and two of the dice are near-impossible to read. The Realms one is a nightmare - dark reddish with dark gold numbers. It's a ****ing eyesore. I think they oughta check that mother****er for color blindness.

Yeah, unleash isn't nearly as cool or flavorful as Hellbent was. If I do go to a prerelease, I'm leaning towards Rakdos for their pick a guild gimmick anyway, but it will probably be decided by availability and prerelease cards.
Now for Gatecrash, I don't think Dimir will be readily available. Blue based guilds are the most popular.
Detain is a pretty sick ability. I'm thinking that a Bant deck running both Detain and Populate effects would be nasty to play against, especially since a lot of the removal in Standard will be subpar now.
Speaking of removal, Dreadbore is absolutely vile. I can just imagine how many Esper-friends players would have been crying if that card came out while their deck was still viable. That card has potential, I think. If no good answer card is printed for it, it could knock Tamiyo and Sorin right out of Standard. Although the fact that it is a sorcery and not an instant diminishes some of its power.
I still can't believe they re-printed the shock lands. Although, I wasn't entirely wrong with my initial postulation that they would re-print new duals with an even worse "comes into play" mechanic. I was just wrong in my theory that those new duals would be true duals, since they clearly are not. In reality, the five ally-colored gates are just functional reprints of the uncommon duals from Invasion.
So, since new Jace is not red/blue, what are people's theories on the other planeswalker being printed in this set? Popular theories are that it will either be Niv-Mizzet or Krenko, but I'm more inclined to think it will be an entirely different character, possibly another brand-new character, and that it will be two colors. Of the possibilities for two-colored planeswalkers, we're only missing white/green, blue/red, blue/green, and black/green (although technically Garruk Relentless could fill this spot, but I'm not counting him). So I'm looking for one of those four color combinations.
Dreadbore is good, but it won't chase planeswalkers away. There are still counterspells.
The gates are actually matching the guilds. They're technically better than the Invasion lands because a) they're common and b) we're getting the enemy colors, too.
The new PW could be Kiora, who would be UG; as merfolk are new to Ravnica, though, I'd suspect we'll see her later. The rumor is PW #2 is someone new, and I doubt we'd get a monoblue and a Ux planeswalker in the same set.
