    If you read the first page, you'll se that I stated this myself.

    But my point is: if the writers wanted to call infected people "zombies", because of the similarities with the popular culture living dead, they would. If they instead wanted to make a zombie movie where zombies were supe-intelligent and very fast, they also would. None of those would be "wrong" because someone one day stated their opinions on what zombies should and should not be.


    You could make a movie about batman, and have a film about a man who turns into a bat. You might not be "wrong" but that still dosen't make it a batman film.

    Do you really need 5 enchantment tutors between the groves and the enlightened? I also don't think you need 4 explorations and 2 gaea's touch. Drop the touch. Shielding plax looks clunky for the 3cc slot, maybe the 4th rancor and 2 armadillo cloaks?

    Wait...Your playing white...and no swords to plowshares...I didn't know that was possible. Wink Pacifism seems like it can be an alternative though for synergy. granted that dosen't stop a turn 1 lackey though.

    In refrence to your elephant grass or Ghostly prison question, what does your clock look like with this deck?

    that is the one problem i have a lot . any suggestions for change?


    You are playing a two color deck, with a third color splash, yet you play many 5 color lands. Try something like this (Proxy time!)


    If you don't have the Tundras/Volcanic Islands you can try out the rav equivilent, but tundras aren't that much more then hallowed fountains at this point. You can also use Flood Plain isntead of Flooded strand in a pinch. But I wouldn't suggest it.

    yes you can, unless I am terribly missing something. I don't see any reason that would lead you to believe you couldn't.

    1.) The ability to generate a random booster is actually already planned for a future release. Printing it is apparently not, but that's not so bad; once you have a random selection, you can choose which cards out of your set you want to print. You would just choose those 15.

    2.) This is already possible. The image must be a 60x80 pixel black and white bmp with the image occupying the upper right 40x40 pixels. The only problem with this is that it doesn't like empty fields totally surrounded by black. My workaround for this is to have a small gap in the image so that no piece of white is totally sealed off from the rest; then once i'm in the program closing that gap with the editor is a simple task.

    3.) This would be a royal pain. There are two ways to do it, and either suck. First would be to have the inlay become a separate piece from the backdrop on each frame, and have them function independantly. The second way would be to add those in as possible blends, and they'd make a royal mess of the card colors menu. I wouldn't expect either.

    4.) I can see where you're coming from, but I dunno...


    1. Cool
    2. Cool where do you do that in?
    3. Provided you had the .psd for this, couldn't it be done in the same way you do Guild and Mana symbols in the text box, or is that only limited to the text box area?
    4. Don't have anything to say either way on this.

    edit, ok it took me about 3 minuites to do this, i did it with no quality grant you, but I could do it in about 15 minuites if I wanted quality. Or if I was smart enough to do a creature b/t box. By my count it would take 62 of these things, 31 with and 31 without P/T boxes.

    edit* I did a bop with a 5 color border for another example (this time with p/t box!)

    Done with the PSD for both with and without p/t boxes. Each has 37 different inlays. PM me with your email address if you want them emailed to you. 4.13 mbs for them.

    last edit, this is a quiron dryad done with the psd version.

    I just want to say, I love the program. Here are a couple of things I have been wanting to do in it that I cannot as of now.

    1. A Utility to randomly create and print booster packs. This one is huge imo.
    2. A way to import picture for set symbols. I am horrible at the vector thingy.
    3.You know how the borders of multicolor cards have a in-lay. For instance traditional r/g cards are gold but with a r/g inlay. Would it be possible to get this on mono colored cards too? I think cards like Anavolver would look nice if its inlay was the color of the kickers.
    4. I know this one might be odd, but a check box to designate a card being complete, as opposed to still being in a state of development. I know sometimes it can be hard to tell what part of whatever project I am working on is acctualy done compared to still tinkering.

    Hopefuly those are too stupid/difficult to do. I know number 3 would be a ***** though.

    I would really want a couple of copies of Genesis in this deck. With the leyline, if you draw multiple the legend rule will help get it into the yard. Then you don't have to worry about it screwing up your draw phase either. Unless you want to win through agonizingly slow milling ;), and then if your willing to drop Vampiric, you wouldn't need black.

    1.Zur's Wierding, my first deck used this card. And I won a great many times because of it. I'm currently working on a legacy decklist, if anyone has ideas pm me.

    2.Serrated Arrows I just re-discovered this card about 2 weeks ago. And I have been throwing them into every deck ive been building. It is great.

    3.Urza's Factory A uncounterable form of kill, that creature kill dosent slow down.

    4.Exalted Angel This combos well with my first choice too :D. But in general my win conditon of choice.

    5.Accumulated Knowledge my favorite card draw.

    Your opponent's at 7 life or less, you have a Rift Elemental. Activate it, taking counters from the suspended Lotus, and attack for the win!

    Furnace Whelp > Dragon Whelp?
    Renewed Faith > Reviving Dose? (They're pretty different, but I can't think of any time I'd rather have the latter.)


    You are at one, Someone targets you with a char, would you rather have Renewed Faith or Reviving Dose?

    To be fair, 45 days is quite excessive for this. Realistically, it should have been 5-10 days.


    Wow, I was thinking 45 days was lenient for breaking prohbation on a dui-type event.

    As far as I know, Reset is still printable. With High tide not in extended you don't have to worry about it making combos there. It's a card that I can see quite a few noobies thing would be good in MUC, or the like. Also it would be nice to get foil ones with decent artwork...I don't care if MARO paints the thing. It would still look better.

    When I make a split card, the left hand side mana symbol is only about 1/3 the size it should be.

    I always thought that Imperial Tutor and or grim tutor could and probably should be reprinted. The price on those two cards are insane.

    I think the rav duals should be continued to be printed. lets see the set has 110ish rares, 10 duals, that gives me about a 9% chance of pulling one. I wouldn't mind that. Especialy if one of the tutors gets pritned at a rare. That plus *** would give me a 12/110 chance of happiness.

    much better then the 2/110ish of 8th (hope to pull a *** or a BoP)
