Nah no thanks. You can keep your nerd thug tactics. It is ridiculous that I cant trade MY cards using MY databased list which is easy to update and manage. The mod community here is the terrible, virtual MTG brownshirt club.
Went over my plan to adjust for the Primeval Titan banning in EDH. Basically ends up being less fun for everyone, thought that is certainly not an express intent.
Hazezon:
-Primeval Titan
+Boundless Realms
Multani:
-Primeval Titan
+Vorinclex
Wanderer:
-Primeval Titan
+GTFODIAFWURM
Edric:
-Primeval Titan
+Cyclonic Rift
Last two I won't have until my RtR preorder arrives though. Almost cut Natural Order from Wanderer, but getting a 15/15 super wurm as a new target made it stay.

nice i like the switches for primevals. ii love changing a few card every once in a while just for different gameplay. even if it makes me deck weaker. kinda hurts my "competitive play" haha .. i want a hundred thousand of the superworm!!!

Me and my roommate are pissed about Primeval Titan being banned so I've just decided to make my decks even meaner, haha. If they think it's a good idea to bring back Kokusho then they're in for a surprise. I'm making a deck specifically to abuse him. (Rite of Replication, etc.)
So Katie and I can't go to the same pre-release event because of my new job, my first shift is during the time I'd take the bus to see her. So she'll be going to her first pre-release on her own. I'm concerned but I know she'll do well. I told her that as long as she has fun thats the main thing. Also don't be too concerned if some guys act like total dicks because she's a girl.
So she's coming over tomorrow and she wanted some help building a sealed deck so I put together a list of random cards and set them into 6 piles (booster packs)
I think I've decided if I go for legacy that I might give burn a try. At least thats the thought right now. With no idea how the metagame is going to be in standard with the rotation I'm not 100% of what I'd play in standard. I really love the look of Ash Zealot though.
unfortunate that's the case isn't it? in my exp ive found its not so much guys being dicks (unless they get curb stomped), but just not knowing how to act like a human around women lol they don't interact with them much so they dunno how to act lol goofing off, show boating, not talking, etc. lol

i played a ladie the other day. shes a buddies wife and she really only plays him, there two kids, and three or for others but i beat her white/angel deck. she said and this is word for word "Its nice to be beaten. Im tired of winning all the time except against duane(her husband). it nice to have a challenge." and she was very snobby bout it

Had a girl at the innistrad prerelease get a garruk and beat me with it. She then said "well it looks like i'm better at magic then you." I didn't have the heart to tell her it was only because she got a decent limited walker and the best i got was skirdsag high priest and a creepy doll. but she caused such a ruckess that everyone else in the tournament knew what she had so she wasn't able to win again the rest of the night. she ended up getting like 12th of about 15-16.
This is personal experience not fact: Girls seem to see this as a mans game and when they win they get very cocky. I have yet to see this play out differently.

See, I have had quite the opposite experience. Every girl I know or have played against is really humble. The ones I've seen seemed surprised when they win. Then again, most of them are girlfriends of people I know and were just thrown a deck to play. Even then, there were a couple that played a lot and only got cocky when they played with our usual crew.
There's one girl at our LGS, and she's just another one of the players. She's really nice, isn't a sore loser like (ahem) some of the boys, and is pretty fun to be around.
On another note, I found a Very Hungry Caterpiller placemat for a few dollars at a supermarker. It's now my playmat.
I'm going Golgari, looks like Katie and I will be able to go to the same PR after all. A few local players are going up to the pre-release there so I'm catching a ride w/ them.
If the right cards are pulled golgari has the potential to murder, but i think overall selesnya or rakdos are probably the best options. they both have very fast plays from the look of it. Alot of good tokens on one side and efficient beaters on the other.
Rakdos looks good for aggressive early game stuff but not so much for the late-game. Selesyna which is actually what I'm considering playing now is disgusting in limited from the sims I've been running.
The SCG Open last weekend was a lot of fun. Played Kessig Blue for T2 and Smallpox for Legacy. Started out really well both days, then ran into a terrible matchup one round followed by some awful misplay the next. While I had fun playing, that wasn't the greatest part.
Dan Scott was there. He does some solid artwork.
A lot of artists will make some minor alterations/accents to cards with their art for just a few bucks. I noticed that Dan charged up to $20 for card alterations and asked if he had any pictures of past alters he had done. After that, I promptly gave him $60 and some cards. One round later, I come back to pickup these, which he did with gel pens.
I should have gotten more cards done.

Also congrats Tom on 4k!
Thanks
I'd order the guilds like this (for limited, highest power to lowest):
Rakdos
Azorius
Selesnya
Golgari
Izzet
My opinion after reviewing everything. Azorius might turn out to be better than Rakdos, but IDK.

Those are nice! I wish i had more altered cards. Once I graduate college and get a decent job and have money, I think I'm going to get my Commanders commissioned for altered art/extended borders.
As of now all i got are these. I think I posted them last year when I got them done at GP Pittsburgh, but I like em so much, I'll share them again!
ok so prerelease results. Went golgari and my friend went rakdos. i got fifth and he got sixth which is just about where we normally place. i would just like to be upfront about this and say that it feels very nice to land a world spine wurm 3 times in a night and have the opponent just walk away.
Game 1 vs azorious. 2-1 loss
Detain was off the charts. he landed the promo card and their was literally nothing i could do to make it up. detain 2 every turn is hard.
Game 2 vs the only other golgari 1-1
We were 1-1 and decided to not play game 3 since we were the same guild.
game 4 vs Izzit 2-0 win
he didn't have anything. the sweepers were all sub-par and hypersonic wasn't great cause i had a reach/regenerate guy out.
Game 4 vs rakdos 2-0 win
i had splashed for utavara hellkite and played him both games. 1 dragon, 2 dragon, 4 dragon...
don't really card bout the standing cause prerelease, for me, is just about getting new cards. which i did nicely. by trade and pull i ended up with 2 blood crypt, 2 overgrown tomb, 1 lotloth troll, and a temple garden. not bad.
