    Will you be extending this story? I really am enjoying this tale of Kalek the Golem. It resonates well with me in terms of how it was written.

    Launcher Monkey 1R
    Creature - Ape (C)
    : Target artifact creature gains flying until end of turn and attacks this turn if able.
    2/2

    IIW: A card that plays differently depending on the number of players.

    I really like this one, very simplistic but very fun. Flying blightsteel colossus is no laughing matter :).

    Quote from arbitraryarmor
    Izzet Astronaut 1UR [U]
    Creature - Monkey Wizard
    UR,q: Choose target creature. Flip a coin. If you win the flip, that creature gains flying until end of turn. If you lose the flip Izzet Astronaut deals 2 damage to it.
    The Izzet are prone to giving their most important tasks to those most likely to fail at them.
    2/2

    IIW: Prowl

    Hmm a monkey wizard fascinating. Its also flavorfully appropriate in terms of what the izzet would do with such a monkey.

    Quote from bloodyspasm
    Ape Canaveral 1R
    Legendary Creature - Monkey Scout (R)
    Whenever ~ attacks, he gains flying until end of turn.
    Whenever ~ deals combat damage to a player, put a +1/+1 counter on him.
    "He wants to go where no simean has gone before... Which isn't all that hard, really..."
    2/1

    IIW: a 1/1 creature that grows

    Not bad really at all. I wouldn't mind using this in EDH at all really. I'm not paying attention to the monkey typing as I still like them anyway.


    Quote from LnGrrrR
    Space Ape WGG
    Creature - Ape
    U: Space Ape gains flying until end of turn.
    3/4
    Oook ook!

    Its pretty interesting, though the WG I wonder why and although yes blue has access to temporary flight, green does as well.


    Quote from Krey
    Crash Test Apes 1WU
    Creature - Apes (U)
    Crash Test Apes enters the battlefield with 3 time counters.
    At the beginning of your upkeep remove a time counter from Crash Test Apes.
    If you can't remove a time counter, Crash Test Apes gain flying, +1/+1 and trample until end of turn. Sacrifice Crash Test Apes at the end of turn.
    2/2[/card]
    "Only the Simic could do such experiments, We have to work with goblins" - Tibor

    Shouldn't this card be G/U mana instead of :symuw:?


    Quote from Dracilic
    Test Monkey- 1UB
    Creature- Primate (R)

    Whenever Test Monkey enter the battlefield put a revenge counter on target creature.
    Whenever Test Monkey leaves the battlefield destroy each creature with a Revenge counter on it.

    2/2

    The scientists never knew monkeys could hold grudges. Until it was too late.

    IIW: Card where lands matter.

    Nifty. Although I'm wondering why it is blue.

    1st Place: Tilde
    2nd Place: Bloodyspasm
    3rd Place: Arbitary Armor

    It was literaly a coin toss to see who would win this round T or Bs

  • posted a message on When there have been countless religions what makes yours correct?
    Faith, defiantly belief in a higher power.
    Its what some use for when it comes to loneliness.
    It reassures us in our times of need.
    To look for answers that can sit well within ourselves and reinforce our well being.
    The finding of others whose warmth and shared beliefs so we do not feel strange or be a outcast.
    A sense of purpose or higher calling, a sense of redemption, or even humility is what compels.

    Which is all how people strengthen their beliefs in something.

    We believe in things in order to make rationalization to what we think and sense. This is however not always true for how we rationalized it.

    It is strange to suggest one religion is true in my mind at least. For the factor of free will exists. With this simple core part of every human, we may diverse ourselves in our thoughts and beliefs and still maintain some forms of common ground with other like minded individuals. With free will also comes free thought which further allows us to become diverse in religions that exist or are yet to exist. Which is why every religion is part of something of a similarity to Schrodinger's Cat. This being that: "Every religion is always the true and false one."

    For one could argue that say God does not exist but where is the proof that he does or doesn't except for a few old books and a set of traditions.

    As many may note already, its a pain to convert to a religion if it conflicts with your views no matter how much the honeyed words seem right. If no ones views could conflict with that of another; only one core belief system could ever exist. Which goes back to how I defined faith earlier in this post.


    My focus is on the Sun.
    It is a very simple religion.
    The sun rises and sets, lives and dies; I wake and go asleep each day as well as if being reborn each morning with cleansed and joyous mind.
    The sun does not end its simple travel in the sky because something went wrong for it; then I too must not end my days for something pity.
    The sun is a symbol of the warmth, strength, radiance, and charity; I mimic this is to show these very traits to all I encounter, even myself.

    To be honest I have met all the other criteria except someone who shares a similar belief like I do. Then again my belief is so basic compared to more larger ones that it neatly fits into many by simple core beliefs of other religions when the need arises to avoid starting a religion war with somebody.

    Quote from Vermy
    Taking a ridiculously expensive card that is a staple of multiple formats, giving it new art and making it mythic in a set with a limited print run?
    Surely nothing here can go wrong.


    or it could go: Gone Horribly Right!

    Quote from Barinellos
    Can't provide a picture, but I can confirm that the fat pack indeed says that Ral has hidden his ascension from everyone, the dragon included.


    So is that all the given info or is there a bit more detail to it than that according to the fat pack? Since this is news to me.

    Bolt of Epiphanies 1:symur::symur:
    Sorcery {U}
    Deal 4 damage to target player If R was spent to cast this spell. Draw a card if U was spent to cast this spell. (Do both if UR was spent)
    As the Izzet Guildmage watched his bolt flying through the air, his brain turned like gears and ideas given form of spark had flown in his head. There a plan was hatched.

  • posted a message on Orzhov, the Immortal Soul
    My suggestion on a more balanced version that still maintains its original ability:

    Orzhov, the Immortal Spirit :symwb::symwb::symwb::symwb::symwb::symwb::symwb:
    Legendary Creature - Spirit
    Spirits cannot die. (They can't be sacrificed and are unaffected by effects that would cause them to be put into a graveyard from the battlefield, such as lethal damage, "destroy", the "legend rule", and toughness 0 or less.)

    Quote from k-rad
    The ultimate disallows the opponent from ever winning while making you go through the steps to finish the game. Not a fan.


    I'll second this motion.
    One of the few things I kinda dislike in EDH is when my opponent's Riku deck performs the Infinite Turn Combo, this kinda mimics that except it would be like me just passing my turn each turn and then dying by milling myself or burning myself.

  • posted a message on Would you buy a silver/gold-bordered product with Duals and Power?
    Totally would buy as many as it took to have four of each of those gold/silver bordered cards in a heart beat.

    It would solve the problem of the secondary market value on certain cards like lets say a Taiga that gets reprinted because they would be made for the kitchen table or someone's binder.

  • posted a message on A RANT ABOUT GIRLS... the opposite of what you expect.
    You could go for her but you already stated that on emotional level she is not your type.
    You thought with your "snake" instead of brain.
    You described earlier in your post a girl that is willing to do that for you when your sick, something many would envy you know.

    This thread could also be considered "Hot girl flirted with me" or "Compare lovers" instead of an advice thread.
    Your not single and you already made a point that you and your lover try to make a contest out of naked pictures.

    Do you actually need legitmiate advice since you also stated that your really not in the mood to care about what others post in response?
