Still in the hospital, and I am pretty tired. Hopefully they will say that I can go back home soon. But that may take awhile for the blood work to get done and for me to get checked out.
EDIT: I got discharged about 4:00 AM this morning; all the tests came back showing no abnormalities and minimal risk of any serious underlying causes, but they suggested I follow up with a GP to make sure there's no major problems that they couldn't catch.
So, Skies, how are you? That was kind of an ominous note on which to leave us.
As far as following up with a GP, I'd suggest only doing side events, as they are a lot of fun and don't raise your blood pressure like the main

Along with many mods, I've moved shop over to MTGNexus. Come check us out!
I'm fine; all the tests seem to have come back negative for any serious diagnoses; there's never a zero chance that my symptoms would represent something serious, but it was probably just an acute anxiety attach; I haven't felt any blood pressure spikes in the last couple of days, and I don't have the feelings of being jittery and restless, so I'm probably going to live. Blood pressure was back down to normal ranges when I left.
Still, 23 year olds can and do get heart attacks, and often, high blood pressure is asymptomatic until organ failure or cardiac arrest. Public Service Announcement: Make sure to check it regularly, especially if you have risk factors for it (smoking, being overweight, family history, age, etc.).

Looks like I was right. Two people, besides myself showed. Played some casual games and I'm getting really frustrated with my favorite deck. I'm two steps away from just shelving it and sticking with Burn until I build a blue deck(which is never).
Does anyone here recall if SCG holds any more major sales before their "end of summer/back to school" sale? Do they have a spring sale of any kind?
I usually only buy from them during their sales and I am trying to figure out how long I may need to wait to make another order.
On a gameplay note, I finally just stored my former legacy decks in binders with the rest of my collection since I never really play it. I have Budget Bogles (Curse you Daybreak Coronet!) and UR Delver (Which has obviously lost alot of power now) built for Modern. I may try my hand at that instead sometime. I'm really hoping for a Noble Hierarch reprint, like, badly. I will probably be locked out of any Tarmogoyf deck forever if there isn't a mass reprint.
I do believe SCG has a spring sale, but I can't remember entirely. I believe this is when I bought my Snapcasters or Dark Confidant at as close to ebay prices as possible.
Daybreak Coronet isn't that highly priced. Why not trade for it? Did Legacy die out around you, or something?
I think I'm just going to put away The Walking Dead. I'm a terrible pilot for it, and am just tuning it wrong, I think. I'm going to go back to my zombie build of it, then put it into a binder, or trade it away. I dunno. I'm kind of wanting Shardless BUG. I love it being my pet deck, but it makes me sad when I play it. Plus, Sam Black makes me mad, lol. My testing is in live tournaments and I have to drive and drop ten to twenty dollars for it.

Really hoping you are right about the spring sale, I seem to remember that as well but I wasn't certain.
Daybreak Coronet is pricy to be for a card that literally only slots into one deck, every time I consider acquiring it I just think of all of the cards I would rather have at that price point or less.

Im getting my Masters in Biotechnology with an emphasis in Management. So its a blend of science (hard skill) and management (soft skills). Very interesting program as we have seminars every week with people in the industry. Great for networking.

Yeah. I've kinda had an itch against Sam since that whole ordeal with him on Elves against that Nic Fit player sometime last year. Game one shens, I think. I know it's this game though.
Also, I can't wait until Snapcaster hits forty-five dollars. I'm going to trade all of mine in for a Tarmogoyf. Then, when the shocks jump in price, I'll trade all of those for another Tarmogoyf. I want a new deck. :|

Ah yes, I remember that incident. I wasn't sure if that was the issue or not so I figured I would ask.
I will probably never own a set of Tarmogoyfs and I have basically just accepted it at this point.

Argh, so frustrated. We got more snow last night, and while it was only two inches, it turned out to be the last bit that I needed to narrow my driveway just enough (and I hit a slippery patch at just the wrong time) that I slid into the (meter-plus high) snowbank and had to spend 45 minutes digging out, ripping my pants clean in half in the process (I'm not short, and had to bend my legs in ways that put too much strain on them).
So now I'm late for work, covered in all sorts of grime (cat litter, wood splinters, and dirt), and minus one pair of pants.
At least it was in my own driveway, so I could go inside and change.
So, Skies, how are you? That was kind of an ominous note on which to leave us.
