The news says this artic freeze will continue til the weekend... its -50 c the last dew days up here and its getting crazy how many times my vehicle will not start.
I'm looking forward to going to my local prerelease! I'm thinking of Gruul-ing, though Simic is a favorite guild. And I'll walk to my LGS as well, just because.
And Blackvise—what EDH are you thinking of making?
That's a point, many of you playing in the prerelease? I had been planning to as I absolutely loved playing Dimir decks when Ravnica was in Standard, but I'm going to put the money towards a new EDH deck instead I think.
Midnight Prerelease tomorrow night, likely gonna go Boros, and then a Sunday Prerelease, going Orzhov or Simic...not sure.
No pre release for me. I suck at limited! I may get a box of this set, though, which is a big thing because I haven't bought one since the original Ravnica block. Being casual, it seems kinda counter to what I would do (buy singles of what I need to save money) but I am thinking of pack wars with a friend the entire box!
For those that don't know, pack wars is one booster (without looking at its contents) and three of each basic land to make 30 cards decks. This it will take a while and all the patience I have not to just rip them open!
I'm not doing the pre-release thing either! I'm not the best drafter. I'm debating on getting a box. I literally only get a box for the excitement of opening all the packs. It's so much cheaper to just buy the cards you need for a deck ha. I would rather have fun than save money though lmbo!!
I had two old fillings replaced back in August. Metal fillings replaced with white fillings. So sensitive I haven't chewed on that side of my mouth since then.
The metal filling that fell out tonight is on the side with which I never chew.
What the hell, man?
Also, I got a crown put in a while ago. It's better than any of my teeth.
Oh how I'd love to go to the prereleases, but I'm afraid that I wont have the time. I made plans saturday night to celebrate a friend's birthday (turning 18 usually means a big celebration with friends where I live since you're officially a legal drinker), which means that I'll have to work around that, and my courses don't give me much free time.
Maybe I'll get a box, since there are always some left over. I was thinking of going Dimir, am I the only one?
And EC, sorry about the filling. I had one when I was younger, but luckily it was only on a baby tooth (and yes, it fell out in case you're wondering). So far so good when it comes to fillings though, so let's hope it stays that way!

Those who seek knowledge seek to learn. Those who seek wisdom seek to understand.
I seek both.
How old does that place you at then? If you dont't mind my asking of course!:tongue:
I reallu wanted to build a nice drawgo style deck to teach my friend I play a thing or two about annoying ass decks (he loves a kuldotha red deck I built and considers it the best deck either of us runs). I've just been putting around cleaning house and having dinner with my future mother-in-law and haven't gotten to it. When I do, I hope to be schooling him and push him into building his own decks.
From now on, any deck I build him I will probably build a counterpart that can beat it for me. I like having someone to play, but he learns nothing about magic by avoiding the one process that teaches card interaction and making better choices outside of playing. I have tried many other approaches in the past. Frustration has been my friend lately, if you can't tell.
I'm 40. As of 4/21/2012, I officially became the weird old guy at my lgs.
That's because they, like so many others, don't know the font of knowledge that sits in the room with them! Creepy old guy? Pshaw!
I don't look my age, so I get away with blending with the younger crowd until my kids are mentioned or the fact that I was a 'millenium baby'. I don't hide it but I don't go sharing it with everyone I meet.
On an unrelated note, I began watching king of the nerds this weekend. I HATE reality shows! But I hate this one less than most. Anybody got any thoughts about it?
Prerelease went well-ish. Midnight prerelease, I went Orzhov, made a decently grindy deck. Went two rounds before nearly falling asleep, so I went home. Howevr I did find that Holy Mantle and Undercity Plague is fun.
Sunday's prerelease, I played Boros, and it went very, very well, in spite of my record. Madcap Skills is hugely potent, and shifted each game it was played immensely. Putting it on Legion Loyalist was a recipe to carve off about half your opponent's life before he could do much. Went 1-3 before I dropped, but put up a hell of a fight on those 3.
Frustrating thing, however was my rare pool. Outside of my Guild Rares, the Orzhov night I only got one on color rare (The aforementioned Plague) and with Boros...nothing. Nada. If anything, it was pushing me Dimir (Well hello there, Lazav...) but I wasn't too disappointed after I played it out.
Seems to me that Mox Lotus portrays a necklace in its artwork.
In this version of the video for Oops, I Did It Again by Brittney Spears, she has a conversation about that necklace that the old lady drops in the ocean in Titanic.

Sasky for the Sig.
I am in your [PACK]. Watching you... do... something.
Hopefully I'll repeat this. Haven't picked a guild yet. It will be Orzhov or Dimir though.
Also any of you EDH players wanna check out my latest deck and give me advice?

(no, I'm not a toothless hillbilly).
EDIT: Yes, it hurts if something gets in there.

I gotta know: you didn't swallow it did you?
Have a good prerelease all! Think of those of us unfortunate enough to be stuck at work or other means to be there with ya.
Maybe I'll get a box, since there are always some left over. I was thinking of going Dimir, am I the only one?

No, I managed to avoid that.
Well, I'm old enough.

Yeah well, at least you aren't the clan elder.

I've only seen a few suggestions so far in this thread, so let's move on with it!
Any other thoughts?
