Official Clan Stuff:
Teraparsec has passed recruitment, and is now a member. His title is Teraparsec, Network Architect.
Everyone welcome him as he embraces the Mindcrush.
I remember there being a stink about someone leaking information that WOTC wanted kept secret or something. I never paid it much mind.
It was in regards to the future of the site and such...
there was a hooplah.
Shal got banned recently for apparently allowing banned users to use his profile.
Yanni I believe used a gimmick while suspended..
@Digi: Its a 10 minute drive from my former house. Really nice 3 level place.
There was another one that was even better, but was too far away for work (and my mom's work) and it sold before we really could think hard....
@Tetris, there you go! I missed your first post, and got nathed. Sorry:/ How have things been? How is school?
You will always have a place here. The drama has been settled publically and privatly for a long time, you know this:) Friends fight some times, and that just happens. Stick around and I will be more than happy to add you back on. You have been missed.
Yanni's banning makes me sad. I have not been affected in the slightest by this hooplah, until now.
He was a good member of Our clan, and more importantly, a good friend. Hopefullly he sees this some how, and knows he will be missed in Our dark corner of the site.
@Yanni, if you see this, don't loose touch. Please keep emailing me.
@Macius, central air is one of the world's greatest pleasures. I didn't know you were moving....
@DA, thanks! Do you play at all?
Just an fyi, I got minecraft because four people said they play thee 360 edition in our clan. No one has visited my world, outside of fraustX....
I've never played minecraft, but I always thought it looked like fun, but very time consuming. I'll definitely let you guys know if I get the time to start trying it out though.

@Yanni: Oh man... Please don't be permabanned! Get yo ass back here
@Tetris: How've you been man? It's been a while!
@Our new Network Architect: Good to have you on-board!
@Clan: Is nobody even the slightest bit suspicious of Bolas vs Mizzet in DGM? Both of em' have had old cards dug up from sets past recently, Bolas is even in a core set, to bring him back in the spotlight!
Yeah, even though Rosewater said this block would be Bolasless, I do think it's possible that he'll show up. The maze might just be Bolas' maze, not Mizzet's.
But if he was involved that would make Maro's statement on the subject an outright falsehood. He's given some bogus hints before, but never said something like this which turned out to be demonstratibly false, as far as I'm aware.

I'm Star Trek, though and through.
(Big surprise, right?)
Star Wars is okay, but it's just not science fiction-y enough for me, at least compared to Star Trek.
Given the choice between Star Trek and anything else, I'd go with Star Trek. I compare everything to TNG, and everything usually is poor in comparison. Still, some things are acceptable.
I am also a Lovecraft fan, (if you call that scifi), and obviously a huge Mass Effect and Mike Reznick fan..
Still. Star Trek over either of these, or all of them together vs Picard.
Mass Effect is basically Mike Reznick's universe not marketed as such. And mike Reznick's universe is a sexy old timey star trek universe not marketed as such.
Picard always wins.
While I have read several series and stand alones in the star wars expanded universe, I have only ever enjoyed the clone wars stuff, and the Darth Bane Trilogy.
Lovecraft <3 He has had a huge influence on me, on both my writing style and musical writing style. Probably my favourite author; I did enjoy Garth Nix until he released a debaucherously bad series that pretty much put me off his writing
Right off the rip, I'm not feeling the wincon, Terminates, or Savor the Moment.
With budgeting in mind, I'd suggest:
-4 Savor the Moment, -3 Terminate, -2 Fabricate, -1 Counterspell, -2 Cruel Ultimatum, -4 Go for the Throat
This, if I'm correct, shaves that red off completely, and is a much more fluently controlling with the scepters and the acids in conjunction with the bounce. That should trim your mana base by 1-2, and you can shove an additional wincon creature (see below) or more bounce, or even a couple simple black ramp spells. Dark Ritual for that extra pump, maybe?
There are a gazillion cheap and effective ub lands for fixation.
Sideboard?
As for wincon, there are three slots available without changing the amount of mana. I would suggest putting your favorite :symu:, :symb:, :symbu:, or colorless beating stick in there for infinite turns of pounding.
BLARGH.
No net for the entire day thanks to university WLAN going haywire thanks to preparations for today's movie night.
@ Battle of the Stars: Im not really into either of them. I prefer Dr. Who (so many amazing episodes! Especially love Blink and Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead) and any Terry Pratchett novel I can get my hands on.
@ Lovecraft: absolutely awesome. So much inspiration for nightmares to throw at my RPG group ...
@ Magic: GP Bochum incoming! Time for another Magic overdose.
@ Panoptic shenanigans: Beacon is, in my opinion, too expensive to load onto the mirror. Boomerang on a stick is a great idea though. We could also load the scepter with Fire//Ice for repeated tap/burn/draw. Or Brainstorm.
@ today's Uncharted Realms article: WOOOH! *drools all over the keyboard*
Go Dimir!
@Aja, nice! Dimirror Dimirror is neat.
I would actualy reconsider the Beacons in favor of the savor the moments. Teraparsec is absolutly right. For whatever reason, I thought the imprint cost on Panoptic Mirror was 5, not x. My bad:/ Still, everything else is sound in my suggestions looking over it again.
Running three colors without real deal fixation is tricky, and often times problematic. That and, why not play with ub? Adding red just messes up the perfect blend of slam.
@Teraparsec, favorite doctor?
Nathed by aja!
No High Tide? Mono blue, the ramp can only help.
@Aja, why on earth would you use Personal Tutor over Mystical Tutor in casual anyway?
Legacy though... womp womp womp... Brainstorm is nice.
Personal Tutor is not a high value card, imo. I just spent over three hundred on a nicer playset of Forces. I figure if you can get a playset for or around 100$, itKs not that bad in eternal formats, especially vintage.
I have my playset of Forces, although one is signed.
Im on the fence about signed cardsw, where im indifferent either way except for rk Post. Whenever they sign a card, it also gets a little alter and those ichorids are nice in my opinion.
@MzztrTetris, you on? Say something:)

@Macius, Three levels for two people? Shwew! How many rooms?
