We've been around since the dawn of time, give or take a day.. We were the first Clan, created back in ye olde times @mtgnews; 12 years ago we were formed. 7 years ago we left 'News & made the 'Sally our home. Proud & strong we have stayed: Winning contests & awards when we give a damn to try, even snagged Clan of the year in 2007 and 2010. Over a full decade of competition, internet drama, & friendship. We're still here & we have chunks of fallen Clans in our stool.
There are none greater than we, the Called.
So come on in; loosen your belt, grab a seabug, tap for (remember "tap, tap, pass-turn") & join in the fun. Feel free to lurk &/or post a little. But do stay on topic. We tend to have a short temper for spammers & those who can't express themselves with eloquence!
We are accepting applicants for membership.
The best way to do this is to simply join-in (not dominate) the conversation & we'll see if there is some synchronicity to be had. Don't be in any hurry though, we take our time before we bring new brethren into the fold.

Eds: Love the new thread title DUX, and love seeing you around when I come to read the thread these days (I do read it, I just never feel compelled to post).
I'm back after a month away. I see drama happened. Not surprised. Played Tales of Graces on the PS3. Worst in the series. Any good new music out? Dux? I only ask because I haven't bought an album in months.
Got some cool pics on my nature outings.
Daggs and I ran into each other on AIM where we both forgot who the other one was. X_x
I thought C_King was going to say he ran into Dagg on a hiking trail or something after seeing those nice pics.
Speaking of PS3 games, I’d thought about picking a new one up today, but didn’t see anything on IGN that really pulled me in. Mass Effect 2 was cool until I had to fly some ****ing ship into a base that kept blowing me up, so it got put away & I am leery of Mass Effect 3. Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning looks cool, but if Skyrim nor FFXIII could keep me playing IDK that it would either.
As for music I really like Chris Cornell’s solo-acoustic album “Songbook” and Cannibal Corpse has a new one out! Afraid I am not much help on new music these days..
C_King why you no Called tag in your sig?
No “Offical Time Keeper of the Called” or nothing ..I mean, nothing?..
I lose my wireless connection every 30 mins. I hate it. I have to unplug my router and plug it back in. It’s just annoying. I know it has to be a settings issue, but I can’t figure it out for my life and AT&T wouldn’t help me even if I could get a human on the phone.
I saw a Dagg lurking...
I saw it!!
I saw it!

Netdecking is piloting Magic.
Homebrew is creating Magic.
Are you a pilot or a creator??
Though I suppose I did drop by to read up on the latest clan drama. I'm still trying to translate Ria's first post, not sure what it means exactly. Take care of yourself while you are AWOL Ria.
Pretty cool pictures there Clock King. You gotta be better at catching them. Pet gator is all the rage.
I've not been playing any games lately. Skyrim and Starcraft 2 are too advanced for my computer. Been having way too many problems with the computer anyway. Stupid Trojan got me good, tempted to reformate the computer again. At least the power cable is working again. I think I told you all that somehow it got cut and copper wires were exposed and sparking. Well a hacksaw, pocket knife, soldering iron, and some electrical tape fixed that right up. Though I wasn't able to splice the copper wires properly, the other two wires were too stiff for that even after hack sawing through the thicker parts of the plug. Alternative was to cut all the way threw the power cable and resplice all three wires...and well I didn't want to bother with that. Anyway, works now.
I have been watching some TV shows on Netflix. Some documentaries, some science fiction shows, and some anime. I've not seen many anime shows before, but liked the few I've seen. Figure I'll give more a try. Still haven't figured out if "anime" is a specific style of cartoon or if everything animated from japan is considered "anime." Always feel kind of silly being an adult watching cartoons, which is probably why I've only seen about 5 anime before. Though after Ria posted that funny Heman singing bit, I went back and watched the first two episodes of heman for nostalgic purposes.
Good'ol heman....caught the tail end of that one growing up, I was more of a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles kinda kid...or as Michael Bay would call them "Teenage Alien Ninja Turtles. And we all know that TANT will be a blockbuster success.....
Cheers,
Daggertooth

Yo 'DUX, I've been playing Magic almost every weekend that I can for the last 3 years, so I might be considered active Not a bad title, either.
Looks like I can't move just yet, because I'd loose the medical coverage I have if my permanent residence changes from my father's. So I've got to stay here and lay low while seeing people for some of my issues. Sort of an uneasy truce working out right now. Thanks all for the words in the last thread.
The batcave is no more!!!??!? Damn....there was some good stuff in there!
Ahhwell..love the new digs DUX...seems cozy. Looking forward to the new set in two weeks. Got myself signed up for the Helvault madness at the end of the month.
I can understand why Rian needs a break....that sucka has been running on empty for a while now.

So move out and don't change your permanent residence. My "permanent" address has been in vegas for nearly a decade, even though I've lived in half a dozen states. I had my car insurance listed in Idaho because it is cheaper, but even then it was listed at an old address with notations of "currently in a forest in Southern Idaho." When between jobs and apartments and collecting unemployment I listed an old national park trailer as my home (because there were in-state requirements), while it was known that I was really "somewhere in the Appalachians".
Permanency in this case is a relative term, for health insurance reasons keep listing your parents home as your permanent address. For personal health reasons you should move out, if anyone questions it just make sure they know that wherever you are, your permanent residence didn't change..... you are just not living there at the moment.
New set is kinda neat. Very tempted to play some more, but I am out of money and very busy. I've got a month before everything needs to be completely finished. It's a big deadline.
Cheers,
Daggertooth

@Talore: Pretty much this. I've lived outside my state of residence for a while in order to keep different things going, but it's not illegal or anything. Different people have to relocate from time to time for reasons beyond their control, it wouldn't make sense to upend their private personal institutions each time. Then again I'm not expert on Canada, hell I'm not even a lay-person. I just figure if you do a little research you might find that your move isn't as out of the question as you think
Welp back to Skyrim. Addiction is setting in.

Think the MtgStaff is just swell? Join today! You too can be involved in an 8 year grudge and delete nearly 9000 of kpaca's posts!
Actually kay-pah...he opened the batcave as a google group for all of us, but I think it is idiotic to close it out and delete the entire contents.
I honestly don't see him coming back here. I think he's been on the border of leaving for quite a long time, and now that he's had a fallout with you, comment from CK, a previous issue with me and the site giving him crap for his hiatus during a time of uprising...the straw might just be broken.
But hey...I returned when I said I wouldn't...even though I actually never went away.
My honest opinion on the subject is that he always did a good job of keeping the place clean. He was always pretty quick to respond, even if it was the wrong response. He did go back and re-evaluate things after tempers settled....and I thought that was good. The thing he tried to do to often was that he wore his heart out there on his sleeve. He attached his passion to projects and took it personally when they didn't pan out. I understand that though....he is an artist...and that tends to happen.
I don't know what transpired between the two of you, but it seems that it went south pretty fast through numerous conversations on and offsite. You need get your ass uninfracted so I can discuss more with you in other areas of the forum.
oh well...peace

For whatever reason Ria felt that the contents of the bat cave could and "would" be used against him. Whatever falling out he's had must have made him think that trust was in short supply.
He's just taking a break right now. As for how long, I don't know. But I certainly hope he doesn't leave. I had a lot of fun hanging out with him and he is actually active in a clan that could use more activity.
Beyond that, well there's plenty of frustration to go around. This clan has lasted a very long time, but I don't know how intact it is. It seems that every single member of this clan has a feud/s with someone else in this clan. This is suppose to be a place to hang out with friends, not a place where you barely tolerate some and openly hate others. I'm not completely sure where everyone stands, but I've heard enough to not be happy about the current state of things. Probably explains why the clan has been so slow.

Michael Bay will probably make TMNT as soulless as he made Transformers. I couldn't even watch parts 2 + 3 cause part 1 was so bad. Dunno if I want to catch a gator; it would eat all of the friendly stray cats in my apartment complex.
For whatever reason Ria felt that the contents of the bat cave could and "would" be used against him.
kpaca's avvy is suiting, because there is so much politicking here that it's basically Game of Thrones on a card site. That's what I miss least about leaving the staff: the drama, politicking, and social climbing. My current sig sums up my feelings about it all.
I know the feeling. Hard to really leave mtgs for good. You can take the neckbeard off the man, but you can't take the neckbeard out of the man, etc.
I still don't know why "neckbeard" is the win-all insult for nerdifolk. I've only first heard the term a year ago....doesn't even sound mean. I felt more incensed over being accused of having a mullet back when my hair was long.
Got a job interview for tomorrow!!!! It's In Missouri, already told yuks about it. We'd be living close to each other too....less than a days drive. I'll be an Ecologist. Exact duties are....ecology related I'm sure. Probably involving studying the ecosystem of the area......which is heavily degraded tall grass prairie. ...that could be fun? And no mountains...I can live without mountains.. ... um...yay ecology?
But Ecology is my thing. I mean I can identify every other plant from Mexico to Canada....but only in the Intermountain West. Where's Missouri again? They have sea turtles there? I can work with sea turtles. Exploding ants too. ....yeah, my experience has nothing to do with Missouri. :-p
Also turned in half my thesis and set a call to my committee asking to schedule a defense date. I'm a feared. O_O

Well, I am quite frustrated.
Mostly due to my lack of knowledge on the reason as to why everyone is so upset.
I have no quarrels with anyone. Everyone knows that Cyan and I head-butt a lot but we both know it isn’t personal and have respect for each other.
I don’t know or care how other clans operate; I am not a member of them. I don’t read other clan threads. But I’m not too happy about the state of things either if clan mates are throwing each other under the bus. But again, I don’t know what happened. I can’t read in the ******* of this site, if that’s where most of this went down, b/c one day it wasn’t there anymore. I assume that means I was kicked out.
Regardless, I work 7am-5:30pm Mon-Fri, w/ no lunch break, listening to employees and customers whine and *****.
I don’t come here for more of it…
In other news, Dick Clark died.HAPPY NEW YEAR!!..uh, wait...
.
.
.
By the way, if I get this job in MO I'll be very close to where you live. Smokies might be the closest mountains to me, and after a bit I probably need some mountains.
Interview went...okay. I really botched the first question. Basically it went like this:
"As an Ecologist here you will work with Sturgeons, genetics of Sturgeons, migratory birds, and carp. How will that fit in your plans for your future?"
Me: "Um....well.....I like ecology. And...er...am always interested in learning more ecology."
.....yeah ....It might have been worse if I had said, "well I'm not really interested in those topics and would just be using you as a place holder till I found a higher paying job."
Also, the job is 99.9% in the office. X_X So far its my only lead. They'll teach me good skills and I'll have my foot in the USGS.....great branch to work with.

Daggertooth

In your defense, how the hell do they expect someone to answer that? “I plan to create a new species.”
One of our managers backed a customers car into mine last week. After he did it he called a bunch of other managers and the VP thinking he was going to get fired. I was upset, but it’s just a car. It was totaled when I got it and I know a pretty good auto body shop.
I discovered my 8x MutavaultFoil and 4x ThoughtseizeFoil are worth some nice $$ yo! Stocking up on Snapcaster MageFoil (Got one playset so far!) <- I think they are gonna go Goyf!
Too bad I cashed out on my playset of TarmogoyfFoil, got raped too, but I needed the cash at the time. Hope they reprint them so the value will go down and I’ll feel better.

Yeah DUX...your legacy and Modern staples are getting a premium as foils now. Before you look to sell anything...shoot it my way in the way of an offer. I'm always looking.
So looking around and following that ridiculous thread I've seen that Yuks has resigned his post as an admin. I can understand that. He's pretty much been MIA for a long time now, only popping in when his services are greatly needed. I can understand that because of the personal issues he's dealt with over the past couple of years.
Sad to see him go, but I'm sure he'll be happier just posting random crap again and enjoying his freedoms.
eds:...went to see what ThoughtseizeFoil was going for.... WOWOW..... $120 ea.! Nice keeps DUX...$75 ea for the Mutavaults! Love the art on that card....it just looks so muddy!

I spent way too many late nights trying to read up on everything that was going on and by the time I'd finished, I was too tired to be of much use in policy discussions and whatnot.
To be honest, I am in one of the better spots in my life at the moment and I have a lot of things around me that I love devoting my time to. MTGS simply fell far down the priority list at some point and it isn't fair to the users or the staff to have an admin that isn't fully committed.
I do like the idea of being able to take five minutes from all of that, pop in and say hey, and perhaps share some pictures if anything interesting enough happens.
I enjoy the fact that I don't go near the drama any more because I simply have no ****s to give. I have way too much real life drama going on to worry about the interbutts.
How is everybody? I am really sick! A bad nose and throat thing, my fever broke last night which was good, just on antibiotics until Monday, can't wait for it to go away, I feel so gross and I've had to miss 3 days of work.
I am really liking AVR! I think mono-white or W/g Angels will be a fun deck. I think RDW is going to be the deck to beat, though, they have been given so many bombs!!
I need to get a playset of Snapcasters before they totally explode in price... Legacy is basically the only format I play now, with brief forays into standard... I just find the standard metagame so unfulfilling and lame right now, the decks people are playing are basically the same decks that were floating around in the last meta pre-INN, with new incarnations. There needs to be a serious shake-up soon or it's going to become even more horribly stagnant.
In other news, I just got a ticket to see Prince next month. I am unbelievably excited, Prince is my all-time favourite musician and I cannot wait for the show.
Too bad your sick CharD. I hope you get to see and enjoy the artist formerly known.. as the artist formerly known as Prince. ..or something like that..
Yuk!! Don't ever go doin' that Admin stuff again.. Didn't your mom tell you it's bad for your health and those around you. Now come here.. *Dux lights up a cigarette*

Hi, random folks!
Hope you feel better, CharlieD. I'm not even sure what's good in type 2 anymore since I haven't played it in about a year and a half. Is the most expensive deck still $$$? When I last played, Mythic was the deck to beat. What's the most dominant card in the format now?

Wolf-Run Ramp and Delver are the two biggest decks in my meta with a mix-in of some Pod, Frites, and some Superfriends. Few people play homebrew stuff. I'm thinking of making Orzhov when AVR goes legal, it could be fun.

I am going to be AWOL for a bit, I'm sure y'all can appreciate.
I've locked & burned the batcave – too much old 'personal ****' in there, & recent events have left me uncomfortable leaving casual yabbing around.
Ninjakids are my wall, have a peek. Fall asleep.
Peace guys.
Got some cool pics on my nature outings.
Daggs and I ran into each other on AIM where we both forgot who the other one was. X_x
Peace, all.
Speaking of PS3 games, I’d thought about picking a new one up today, but didn’t see anything on IGN that really pulled me in. Mass Effect 2 was cool until I had to fly some ****ing ship into a base that kept blowing me up, so it got put away & I am leery of Mass Effect 3. Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning looks cool, but if Skyrim nor FFXIII could keep me playing IDK that it would either.
As for music I really like Chris Cornell’s solo-acoustic album “Songbook” and Cannibal Corpse has a new one out! Afraid I am not much help on new music these days..
C_King why you no Called tag in your sig?
No “Offical Time Keeper of the Called” or nothing ..I mean, nothing?..
I lose my wireless connection every 30 mins. I hate it. I have to unplug my router and plug it back in. It’s just annoying. I know it has to be a settings issue, but I can’t figure it out for my life and AT&T wouldn’t help me even if I could get a human on the phone.
I saw a Dagg lurking...
I saw it!!
I saw it!

You saw nothing!
Though I suppose I did drop by to read up on the latest clan drama. I'm still trying to translate Ria's first post, not sure what it means exactly. Take care of yourself while you are AWOL Ria.
Pretty cool pictures there Clock King. You gotta be better at catching them.
I've not been playing any games lately. Skyrim and Starcraft 2 are too advanced for my computer. Been having way too many problems with the computer anyway. Stupid Trojan got me good, tempted to reformate the computer again. At least the power cable is working again. I think I told you all that somehow it got cut and copper wires were exposed and sparking. Well a hacksaw, pocket knife, soldering iron, and some electrical tape fixed that right up. Though I wasn't able to splice the copper wires properly, the other two wires were too stiff for that even after hack sawing through the thicker parts of the plug. Alternative was to cut all the way threw the power cable and resplice all three wires...and well I didn't want to bother with that. Anyway, works now.
I have been watching some TV shows on Netflix. Some documentaries, some science fiction shows, and some anime. I've not seen many anime shows before, but liked the few I've seen. Figure I'll give more a try. Still haven't figured out if "anime" is a specific style of cartoon or if everything animated from japan is considered "anime." Always feel kind of silly being an adult watching cartoons, which is probably why I've only seen about 5 anime before. Though after Ria posted that funny Heman singing bit, I went back and watched the first two episodes of heman for nostalgic purposes.
Good'ol heman....caught the tail end of that one growing up, I was more of a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles kinda kid...or as Michael Bay would call them "Teenage Alien Ninja Turtles. And we all know that TANT will be a blockbuster success.....

Looks like I can't move just yet, because I'd loose the medical coverage I have if my permanent residence changes from my father's. So I've got to stay here and lay low while seeing people for some of my issues. Sort of an uneasy truce working out right now. Thanks all for the words in the last thread.
Good to see you back, CK.
Hope to see you back soon, ria.
Ahhwell..love the new digs DUX...seems cozy. Looking forward to the new set in two weeks. Got myself signed up for the Helvault madness at the end of the month.
I can understand why Rian needs a break....that sucka has been running on empty for a while now.
So move out and don't change your permanent residence. My "permanent" address has been in vegas for nearly a decade, even though I've lived in half a dozen states. I had my car insurance listed in Idaho because it is cheaper, but even then it was listed at an old address with notations of "currently in a forest in Southern Idaho." When between jobs and apartments and collecting unemployment I listed an old national park trailer as my home (because there were in-state requirements), while it was known that I was really "somewhere in the Appalachians".
Permanency in this case is a relative term, for health insurance reasons keep listing your parents home as your permanent address. For personal health reasons you should move out, if anyone questions it just make sure they know that wherever you are, your permanent residence didn't change..... you are just not living there at the moment.
New set is kinda neat. Very tempted to play some more, but I am out of money and very busy. I've got a month before everything needs to be completely finished. It's a big deadline.

Daggertooth

Apparently it was Ria's and not the clans.
@Talore: Pretty much this. I've lived outside my state of residence for a while in order to keep different things going, but it's not illegal or anything. Different people have to relocate from time to time for reasons beyond their control, it wouldn't make sense to upend their private personal institutions each time. Then again I'm not expert on Canada, hell I'm not even a lay-person. I just figure if you do a little research you might find that your move isn't as out of the question as you think
Welp back to Skyrim. Addiction is setting in.
I honestly don't see him coming back here. I think he's been on the border of leaving for quite a long time, and now that he's had a fallout with you, comment from CK, a previous issue with me and the site giving him crap for his hiatus during a time of uprising...the straw might just be broken.
But hey...I returned when I said I wouldn't...even though I actually never went away.
My honest opinion on the subject is that he always did a good job of keeping the place clean. He was always pretty quick to respond, even if it was the wrong response. He did go back and re-evaluate things after tempers settled....and I thought that was good. The thing he tried to do to often was that he wore his heart out there on his sleeve. He attached his passion to projects and took it personally when they didn't pan out. I understand that though....he is an artist...and that tends to happen.
I don't know what transpired between the two of you, but it seems that it went south pretty fast through numerous conversations on and offsite. You need get your ass uninfracted so I can discuss more with you in other areas of the forum.
oh well...peace
He's just taking a break right now. As for how long, I don't know. But I certainly hope he doesn't leave. I had a lot of fun hanging out with him and he is actually active in a clan that could use more activity.
Beyond that, well there's plenty of frustration to go around. This clan has lasted a very long time, but I don't know how intact it is. It seems that every single member of this clan has a feud/s with someone else in this clan. This is suppose to be a place to hang out with friends, not a place where you barely tolerate some and openly hate others. I'm not completely sure where everyone stands, but I've heard enough to not be happy about the current state of things. Probably explains why the clan has been so slow.

I'll put back my Called sig once I find a phrase that suits where I am now. Called tags are serious business and I need to pick just right!
Are Crovax and LN still campaigning for membership or did we scare them off?
Michael Bay will probably make TMNT as soulless as he made Transformers. I couldn't even watch parts 2 + 3 cause part 1 was so bad. Dunno if I want to catch a gator; it would eat all of the friendly stray cats in my apartment complex.
Yea, now Called battles will be public. But hey, that's really how it should be.
I know the feeling. Hard to really leave mtgs for good. You can take the neckbeard off the man, but you can't take the neckbeard out of the man, etc.
kpaca's avvy is suiting, because there is so much politicking here that it's basically Game of Thrones on a card site. That's what I miss least about leaving the staff: the drama, politicking, and social climbing. My current sig sums up my feelings about it all.
I still don't know why "neckbeard" is the win-all insult for nerdifolk. I've only first heard the term a year ago....doesn't even sound mean. I felt more incensed over being accused of having a mullet back when my hair was long.
Got a job interview for tomorrow!!!! It's In Missouri, already told yuks about it. We'd be living close to each other too....less than a days drive. I'll be an Ecologist. Exact duties are....ecology related I'm sure. Probably involving studying the ecosystem of the area......which is heavily degraded tall grass prairie. ...that could be fun? And no mountains...I can live without mountains.. ... um...yay ecology?
But Ecology is my thing. I mean I can identify every other plant from Mexico to Canada....but only in the Intermountain West. Where's Missouri again? They have sea turtles there? I can work with sea turtles. Exploding ants too. ....yeah, my experience has nothing to do with Missouri. :-p
Also turned in half my thesis and set a call to my committee asking to schedule a defense date. I'm a feared. O_O

Mostly due to my lack of knowledge on the reason as to why everyone is so upset.
I have no quarrels with anyone. Everyone knows that Cyan and I head-butt a lot but we both know it isn’t personal and have respect for each other.
I don’t know or care how other clans operate; I am not a member of them. I don’t read other clan threads. But I’m not too happy about the state of things either if clan mates are throwing each other under the bus. But again, I don’t know what happened. I can’t read in the ******* of this site, if that’s where most of this went down, b/c one day it wasn’t there anymore. I assume that means I was kicked out.
Regardless, I work 7am-5:30pm Mon-Fri, w/ no lunch break, listening to employees and customers whine and *****.
I don’t come here for more of it…
In other news, Dick Clark died.

Well then post more often with fun topics.
By the way, if I get this job in MO I'll be very close to where you live. Smokies might be the closest mountains to me, and after a bit I probably need some mountains.
Interview went...okay. I really botched the first question. Basically it went like this:
"As an Ecologist here you will work with Sturgeons, genetics of Sturgeons, migratory birds, and carp. How will that fit in your plans for your future?"
Me: "Um....well.....I like ecology. And...er...am always interested in learning more ecology."
.....yeah
Also, the job is 99.9% in the office. X_X So far its my only lead. They'll teach me good skills and I'll have my foot in the USGS.....great branch to work with.

Sucks that a drama bomb of this magnitude had to go off, though I don't know close to enough about it to even comment on it.
Daggs, congrats on the interview! Hope you get the job!

I discovered my 8x MutavaultFoil and 4x ThoughtseizeFoil are worth some nice $$ yo!
Too bad I cashed out on my playset of TarmogoyfFoil, got raped too, but I needed the cash at the time.

So looking around and following that ridiculous thread I've seen that Yuks has resigned his post as an admin. I can understand that. He's pretty much been MIA for a long time now, only popping in when his services are greatly needed. I can understand that because of the personal issues he's dealt with over the past couple of years.
Sad to see him go, but I'm sure he'll be happier just posting random crap again and enjoying his freedoms.
eds:...went to see what ThoughtseizeFoil was going for.... WOWOW..... $120 ea.! Nice keeps DUX...$75 ea for the Mutavaults! Love the art on that card....it just looks so muddy!
I spent way too many late nights trying to read up on everything that was going on and by the time I'd finished, I was too tired to be of much use in policy discussions and whatnot.
To be honest, I am in one of the better spots in my life at the moment and I have a lot of things around me that I love devoting my time to. MTGS simply fell far down the priority list at some point and it isn't fair to the users or the staff to have an admin that isn't fully committed.
I do like the idea of being able to take five minutes from all of that, pop in and say hey, and perhaps share some pictures if anything interesting enough happens.
And I hope you pop in more now that you're free of your admin duties. I know how much of a time sink modding can be.
How is everybody? I am really sick! A bad nose and throat thing, my fever broke last night which was good, just on antibiotics until Monday, can't wait for it to go away, I feel so gross and I've had to miss 3 days of work.
I am really liking AVR! I think mono-white or W/g Angels will be a fun deck. I think RDW is going to be the deck to beat, though, they have been given so many bombs!!
I need to get a playset of Snapcasters before they totally explode in price... Legacy is basically the only format I play now, with brief forays into standard... I just find the standard metagame so unfulfilling and lame right now, the decks people are playing are basically the same decks that were floating around in the last meta pre-INN, with new incarnations. There needs to be a serious shake-up soon or it's going to become even more horribly stagnant.
In other news, I just got a ticket to see Prince next month. I am unbelievably excited, Prince is my all-time favourite musician and I cannot wait for the show.
Yuk!!

Hi, random folks!
Hope you feel better, CharlieD. I'm not even sure what's good in type 2 anymore since I haven't played it in about a year and a half. Is the most expensive deck still $$$? When I last played, Mythic was the deck to beat. What's the most dominant card in the format now?
Wolf-Run Ramp and Delver are the two biggest decks in my meta with a mix-in of some Pod, Frites, and some Superfriends. Few people play homebrew stuff. I'm thinking of making Orzhov when AVR goes legal, it could be fun.
