"if Ink-treader Nephilim is the only target of that spell..."

Which it was. What is your point?

Seriously Ulka? You think that conditional untap for 3 mana is nice? No way man. Name a deck these feel like they should go in and I'll find 10 cards that will accomplish your goals better (unless it's an Ice age themed EDH deck).

I use one in my Glissa deck. It makes Cabal Coffers go from great to ridiculous.

I feel like you guys just need to learn to treat facebook like a circle of friends. Only include those who you like.

What's your take on Dakkon Blackblade?
I've thought on a non-green land deck before but it feels so weird.

Cool esper general. Make a control deck, this is your finisher.

I will once I have it. Gals advised against letting a ton of other people see it before it gets done.

Makes sense I guess, I was jut curious what you'd get done. Is gals tattooing you?

Gals, do people ever get their dicks tattoo'd?

Must be oh so painful.

I got my design back and approved and made an appointment for my tatto.

I'm am both stoked and terrified.

Care to share?

Holy***** a second banlist thread.

I feel like ISB had the right idea, and the rest of the forum did not.

I'd actually be down with the top X% of cards from the "what card would you want banned" thread. People who discredit the idea don't seem to give statistics and other players enough credit. I get it it's cool to hate on society/the average person to prove how much better than them you are, but even on the "guess how many marbles in the jar" game, the best strategy is to ask as many people as possible and to average the result.

I'd actually wonder what a format with the above banlist would look like.

EDIT: I've been supes busy, and have been enjoying my masters more than I thought I would. I also resolved an argument with my gf, and have a date on monday. I also spend 7 of my last 9 days writing papers. I should be done today for at least 3 days.

I love life atm.

What the **** is going on in this thread? Everyone seems to be having problems.

My own; I'm sick so I'm spending a day at home - a single class.

I had so many plans today though :(.

You left?

In the process of, I'm going on mtgs way less than I used to. From multiple times a day to once in as many days.

You do have the power to alter the MTGS censors I think. Just have the forum automatically replace every instance of the word "Reddit" or "reddit" with "butthole sinkhole" and reddit will vanish from this place. I never go there though - completely unreadable and impossible to intuitively navigate. And because of that I only go there when people give me a url of something I'm supposed to go look at.

I felt that way about reddit before, but then I gave it another shot and I've barely been back to mtgs since. I know everything has an end, but I've been on mtgs for like ~7 years, and I wondered when I'd stop.

Reddit is when I stop.

Unfortunately, almost every variation of TheEndIsNear was taken.


I also made a new deck yesterday that was very much unlike most decks I own.


It did quite well. Nicol Bolas is a champ.

I had a kruphix deck with most of the cards mentionned in the thread and the Maros.

I've been painting a lot of cards lately and tell my wife last night that I've rebuilt my Paypal balance. I wake up this morning, check my email, and see that all but $20 has been transferred out. I know that all money is family money, but goddamn.

Pucatrade has been weird lately. I have some pretty tame things on my want list and nobody's biting. Are you all just stockpiling your points waiting to buy BFZ stuff?

That sounds really disrespectful. But I'm not married.

I'm back from Washington DC.

I don't have very many nice things to say about my trip. All America stereotypes I've heard were true, and the only positive one has to do with people being friendly.

EDIT: I had to use a public washroom once. I tried to fill the gap, why the **** do people outside need to see me using it?! Why is the game like 2.5 cm wide?! Also, the toilets were indeed FULL of water.

Sounds neat. I was a Comp Sci major.

Yeah, and IIRC, you also work in computer security, right?

Quote from Wildfire393 »

And what are you studying? I missed it if you said before.

Right, I will be doing a computer science masters, and a cryptography related thesis. I don't yet know what, as I tend to be very wary not to bite more thna I can chew. Homomorphic encryption is a really hot topic, but super complicated. Anything quantum also seems really complicated, but probably is simpler once you know the basics (which I keep needing to remind myself, I have a terrible memory). Lattice based crypto is suitably complicated, quite interesting, and can also be quantum resistant. Position based crypto interested me as well. I'd be more on the *looking for word* algorithm side of crypto rather than the higher level of stuff.

My undergrad was in Software Engineering (which I think I liked less than I would have Comp Sci)

Yeah, it was pretty *****, I posted about it in the thread a few months back, this is basically what happened.

"So, over the past 4 months, I applied for a Thesis based Masters (pre PhD), got guaranteed a spot. Then I was told I was not admissible. Then I was told I could do classes as a special student, and a Master after. Then I was told this would take a year and decided against it. Then I was told I could do a project(not pre PhD) based masters, and then was told they didn't "want" me. I sent an email telling them why I was the best candidate.
So I am now admitted in a Thesis based Masters at <school>."
