I don't know how to write this, just letting you know.
I've been depressed lately.
I've read up on boredom (Yes, I am bored enough to read about boredom) and I guess I feel the type of boredom that surfaces from being unable, for no apparent reason, to "maintain engagement in any activity."
I think I'm bored like this because
Lately I've been thinking (too much), and I just can't accept the fact that I'm not going to do anything in my life. (Why bring me here if there's no point?) If the sole purpose of life is to enjoy the view, I'll get sick looking at the same disgusting landscape everyday.
I get frustrated when I see happy (ignorant) people try to tell me what to do with my life. Saying I need to get into a great college so I can get a job and have a family and grow old and die.
Frankly,
That just sounds like a bad idea to me.
Why can't I spend my life doing what I want to do?
Who are they to tell me what I want to do?
Ok, ok.
I know I sound like some kid who doesn't want to work, but that's just because I can't explain what I really am feeling.
It's not that I don't want to work, or I'm lazy or anything.
I just don't understand what's so amazing about getting a job and getting married and having children and growing old and dying.
And please don't respond with
"Oh, you will understand. You just have to meet the right person." (Ignorant)
or
"Everyone can do something great with their life, you just have to work hard!" (Lies)
or
"You just have to live with it." (NOT HELPING)
Because I'm tired of hearing these people tell me how I need to live.
I'm tired of people UNDERSTANDING.
I don't want to be
just another [Insert title here].
And I don't want people to tell me
I'm not just another [Insert title here]
It doesn't help me at all.
So if you are going to reply,
don't you DARE try to fix me.
Once I was playing a friend I was never able to beat.
After a very intense game, I had him at one life, but my library was severly depleted.
He has me discard the top something cards of my deck, and it was gone. I knew I was going to lose when my turn came, but I had been expecting it.
It's easier knowing this,
and I've jammed it into my head repeatedly,
but I guess I need that happiness.
I know I can be happy if I understand how normal things are, and how it's important to keep from setting high expectations,
but I feel I can't enjoy that kind of lifestyle.
Whenever I am really inspired by something,
I am partially very motivated and happy,
and partially depressed because it shows me how much people can do,
and how much I can't do myself.
Hello folks. I posted on here a while ago, and now I'd like to ask for help again.
See, when I first joined here, I was much less magic-orientated then I am now, but I find myself in the same problem. I'm being crushed. Now that I'm smarter I've realized it sooner, but it's still a problem.
Back when this first happened to me, I gathered all the information I could and made a deck strong enough to re-forge the way all my friends play the game. I (accidentally) introduced many new strategies and ideas, and in turn, it caused my friends to retaliate with much stronger and well built decks. I don't really mind this, as long as I can keep up. I've held out for quite a while but now it's starting again.
Can you help me get ahead?
Now that I've learned I can help you help me way more.
About My Deck:
It's mono-white, and I'm not willing to change that. Changing anything else is fine.
It's basically mid-range.
The creatures consist of 2/1s for 1, or 2/2s with flying for 2, and a few heavy hitting angels for the end (CMC 5-7)
An Akroma's Vengeance for board removal.
I also run an Elspeth (Knight Errant) and an Ajani (Caller of the Pride)
Basically it comes in with small creatures in the beginning, holds out through the middle, and finishes with Serra Angel etc.
It's not spectacular, but it worked.
Im Up Against:
MonoRed Burn
Five Color Sliver (Aggro)
But the real threat is the
Five Color Sliver:
Starts with one drops for flying and poisonous,
Two drops for +1/+1
Chromatic Lanters for three.
Double Strike.
Mid-Game drops Sliver Overlord
Ward Sliver.
Megantic/Muscle Sliver.
Game.
I am in no position to answer ruling questions, (Pretty new here)
but I believe you wouldn't get 2 extra turns. Time Warp states the player takes an extra turn after this one, so even if you managed to cast it twice, you would have to be able to cast the second time warp during your second turn.
I don't know if this is the actual ruling, it's just what seems right to me.

You know you've been playing too much magic when you try to completely read this thread, and wish to one day be like every one of the people who posted...
Actually I've had a dream where I pulled out a signed full art land during class, and another where I randomly started browsing online for a Foil Wrath of God.
It's starting to seep into my subconsciousness, and its creeping me out.
Thank you!
I really just needed to see what kind of strategies are working for different kind of decks.
It will help me get way better then I am right now.
Ok. I would like to know some good Standard white control decks.
Preferably cheap, as I would not like to speculate spending that much money. (Less then $100)
I know I'm being pretty vague. (Unless I'm not; I'm pretty new here)
If anyone has any suggestions, or could point me in the right direction, it would be VERY appreciated.
So I was playing a 1 v 1 v 1 with my friends the other day, and I got into an argument with one of them over Player Death rulings.
Say player 1 casts a Rise from the Grave on my player 2's Thraximundar.
Next turn I kill player 2 with my Nemesis of Reason (Handily equipped with a Whispersilk Cloak, but that dosen't matter right now).
Does his Thraximundar stay on the battlefield under Player 1's control? Or is it removed from the gave with Player 2?
Thank you!
I have been looking at other deck styles, not strictly limited to Legacy, thats kinda just how the post ended up. I've been inspired by other, more modern decks, and am in the process of replicating some of the ideas, to see if I am understanding the concept fully. Your advice helped me greatly, and continues to do so. Though it was foolish for me to think I could master such advanced concepts so early on. Im obviously overconfident about my skills, and I realize that now.
I will continue on my journey to self-betterment.
I feel despair from apathy.
Then apathy from despair.
Why even do this anyway?
becomes
Why can't I do anything?
becomes
What's the point to doing anything?
becomes
Am I just going to do nothing forever?

I play Angel's Grace and smile.
He smiles.
"I haven't passed my turn yet."
Question:
Does Angel's Grace work with deck depletion?
It does right?
Thanks for all the great info.
This will sink deep into my mind.

I'd go insane, doing the same thing everyday.
Thanks again though.
I am partially very motivated and happy,

Does this happen to anyone?

He was very adamant about it, and proceeded to kill me with him
I will play more knowledgeable now.

No, this isn't really a serious combo.
I just thought of it, while bored in school.
Wonderful ideas, thanks!
