Chandra's ignition is likely to kill off your field, and then all the remaining copies would be countered for lack of legal target. Arcbond could be fun though. Just attack (or block), and cast it when there's a profitable blocking arrangement.
Plunder the Graves finally came in the mail. I've been through the deck multiple times in multiple ways now, but I can't get the counting in my thread to match up with the real world number of sleeves. Every card is there, in the thread and in the real world... Gonna give me a headache if I keep at it anymore tonight. Ugh.
More often, as a value generator methinks. Use it to ramp up a bit, or with Titania / Crucible on the field to make an army or really ramp me up, respectively. Only X spell I have is reactive, and there's only three cards in the deck above 6 mana.
In actual offtopic news, lol, have my first plan for a tattoo. A trio of band logos on my left shoulder.
If you're going to run it for regular ramp, why not run Azusa to get a few lands back each turn?
Not sure if I have an Azusa anymore, actually. And I think stuff like Wood Elves etc to get more lands out of my library as opposed to my graveyard would be better, especially since I could sac them at that point and reanimate them etc.
I mean, true, but being able to get additional lands changes it from making 2 mana with one land, to making 4-10 mana, and being able to play 2-5 lands. IDK, I like mana ramp a lot, and I don't like skimping myself on resources. Do you run a lot of mana dorks/rocks to make up for what will at some point become a slight lower amount of land than most decks are used to?

Currently Getting Back into the swing of MTGS. Bear with me folks~
Bought my 3rd pack of BFZ today while picking up a new Walking Dead and pulled an Expedition Arid Mesa. And it was posted locally for sale within 5 minutes. I have terrible luck with packs but I guess I get why people enjoy it when you don't max out at $.25.
Just got back from the Grand Prix today, and boy was it an experience. First time I've ever gotten to bring along friends for the ride too.
Thought train on the day's events:
-Goddamn I hate driving in Pittsburgh. Thank (insert deity here) I ain't driving tomorrow.
-Wow, why are the lines for Christopher Moeller and Warren Mahy so damn short, and the line for Ryan Yee so long?
-Welp, not waiting for that Yee line. Time to go blow a hundred bucks on singles.
-Does no one have singles for Commander 2015? Not even cheap stuff like Ezuri's Predation?
-Huh, maybe I should've brought my binder with me. It needs emptied out really badly.
-Time to wait in line for more artists!
-Glad I got everything signed. Time to leave.
-What do you mean there's a festival?! Why are there massive crowds of people out at 6 PM?!
-Seriously, Pittsburgh driving can **** all the way off.
-Did I seriously forget to get a copy of Burgeoning?
Despite only getting in three games of Modern (since we only had about five hours at the event and two of the four of us were flat-ass broke) I took care of most of the more time-consuming stuff today (being meeting the artists and shopping for singles) so I'm hoping to fire a Commander pod or two, and maybe even a Chaos/Twisted Draft. If you're gonna be at GP Pittsburgh, PM me! We'll play some Commander and be jolly good jerkoffs to one another (joking.)

It's amazing how little pieces of cardboard can turn into actual things. Think some of my friend's cards turned into an engagement ring.
Or how I turned these even flimsier pieces of paper into every. Think about it... a person can get a lap dance by giving another person a piece of paper with a 20 printed on it.
/******* weird.
OT: Decided I'm building Wort, Boggart Auntie goblin tribal. Not going to be a combo deck, just throwing up on the board and swinging out. Asked my friend, who had Wort built for years, a super loaded question about what he thought of them, and decided to build it. I play Elves all the time, so it should be nice to play another tribe.
Getting into my experimental phase with food again;
Just cooked some noodles in Red Wine instead of water, though didn't buy enough to make the sauce I wanted. Bottom of the pan got burned, along with a nice chunk of noodles ( ), though the taste is quite excellent.
Might have to change it to a slower cook time, and stir more often....

Oath of the Gatewatch; the set that caused the competitive community to freak out over Basic Lands.
A couple years ago a kid I went to junior high and high school with died in prison. I think I might have mentioned something about it here, but today we were talking about it, so I googled his name + Pueblo Inmate. And I found a 43 minute long video on Youtube of him dying. The whole thing was filmed!
I guess after being released from 9.5 months of solitary confinement his sodium levels were jacked up, he seized out, and the guards all just watched. Absolutely horrifying.
I hope something is being done about it; why would the guards have just watched?
I was really only friends with him to keep him from killing me. The guy was unhinged at an early age.
His family settled for 3 million last year it looks like, but the reason they let him die seems slightly unclear. Malice, incompetence, and poor training all seem to have contributed to it. Basically it sounds like he was such a pain in their ass that they just said "F this guy" until they realized that he wasn't just being manipulative.
Chandra's ignition is likely to kill off your field, and then all the remaining copies would be countered for lack of legal target. Arcbond could be fun though. Just attack (or block), and cast it when there's a profitable blocking arrangement.
Yeah, good call on the pro-red. I was trying to think of mass vigilance in mono-red. Angel's Trumpet would still work.
Memorial is definitely a no-go then.

It seems to be in good shape, just need to test it out. I'm unsure of the Lands-ish package I have in there though. Centaur Vinecrasher, Titania, Protector of Argoth, Life from the Loam, Worm Harvest, Squandered Resources, Crucible of Worlds, and Dryad Arbor. Some of those may not last.

Yup. Biggest pull ever from a pack.
And sold it. I now have almost enough in my Paypal account to buy my kids an Xbox for Christmas. Sweet.
