    It's when you can be dropping 2 walkers on turn 3 that people really poop themselves.
    A way with words, you have. I'm rolling.

    Anyway, this archetype seems to me to be the stone cold nuts when it comes to fun and winning. My decklist:

    I need to start working on a 5c now. (:

    I am happy to see [D] Barack Obama a cinch, and also to see my man [R] Mitch McConnell as a solid win.

    Yeesh, this is a blowout. Obama's gonna have, like, 340+ electoral votes.

    :confetti:

    Quote from Monopoman
    The only people that can seem to stay happy either fake it well or they can see the silver lining in everything. Religion will not make you happy unless you have such a blind devoted faith that for some reason loving Jesus makes you happy.
    Staying happy all the time is nigh impossible. In the Bible, more than one example illustrates this.

    My time as a christian has taught me to believe in the gift of joy. From my understanding, joy is being content about life and all of its circumstances. There may not be happiness, but there is security in our hope from God; that He provides for us, and that is enough.

    I can't say I'm surprised we lost. Just how Vanderbilt football is; I guess it's a positive campus didn't expect us to lose. ;p

    It seems our O-Line just wasn't able to handle MSU. Oh, and we started Nickson instead of Adams. I've always thought Mckenzie should be the starter these past three years. He's a better passer, and is also mobile enough to fit in Bobby Johnson's schemes.

    And, lulz, Auburn lost again. To the Hogs. Oh, good grief...

    Don't dis the deep-fried Mars bar! It's a staple of rural county fairs everywhere. My personal favorites are deep-fried Oreos and... deep-fried Coke. Delicious.

    What perplexes me? Cauliflower. :shiver:

    EDIT: Also, any buffet line with steak in it - Ryan's, Golden Corral, I'm looking at you.

    Quote from The Aardvark
    1955. Christ.

    I hate when teams play down/up to their opponents. If you're going to lose, just lose; don't preview the blowout in the first quarter then choke it all away. At least finish, and for God's sake, RUN THE DAMN BALL, especially when you dominated early by doing exactly that.

    Double posting FTW.
    Vanderbilt adjusted.
    ---------------
    From a reporter:
    First, they brought the safeties up and to the outside, and also made a point to tell Stone and Stewart to not let anything get outside of them. That forced Tate to run between the tackles, which meant he had to average four yards a carry for the remainder of the game for them to win.

    Second, they put Lewis in the nickel from time to time and brought him on blitzes in obvious passing situations. Many times he got to the backfield untouched.

    Auburn could not handle Broderick Stewart, and that's why they put Chris Todd into rollouts away from his side. But Todd doesn't have the arm strength to throw against his body, so that effectively took half the field away.

    ---------------
    First 16 rushes were for 86 yards. The next 13? 20 yards total. We made Auburn change it up and they couldn't.



    Unbelievable high right now on campus. Let's march on down to Starkville and go 6-0! VANDY VANDY, OH HELL YEAH!

    Freakin' sweet.

    Quote from qtiplord
    I think that distinction belongs to Gregory House. Wink But of course, that is a debate that doesn't belong here.
    The Walter Bishop would like to have a word with you. Nah, House by a smidgen, but Walter is easily my favorite reason to turn on the television right now.

    Anyway, agreed with most; I've absolutely loved Sylar from the start of Season 1.

    Considering this season is "Villains," and they've killed off 3 pretty nasties so far, I'm pretty intrigued for the rest of this season!

    I really would like it if Micah does not come back for any more episodes. HRG is starting to wear on me a little, but his acting is stellar, as always.

    Hmmm:

    Southeastern Conference
    East
    Vanderbilt (19) 2-0 4-0
    Georgia (11) 1-1 4-1
    Florida (12) 1-1 3-1
    Kentucky 0-0 4-0
    South Carolina 0-2 3-2
    Tennessee 0-2 1-3
    West
    Alabama (2) 2-0 5-0
    LSU (3) 2-0 4-0
    Auburn (13) 2-1 4-1
    Mississippi 1-1 3-2
    Arkansas 0-1 2-2
    Mississippi State 0-2 1-4

    How about that.

    In other news College Gameday is coming to Nashville. Hell has surely frozen over. Our defense will hold Auburn - it just depends on what field position we get to determine Saturday's outcome, because we sure won't march up and down War Eagle. If we do, wow...

    Quote from Pseudofate
    Alara will be fun when you crack your Sealed pool and have color fixing for your crappy colors and no fixing for your good cards. 6-6-5!
    Well, even with non-Shard fixing, two of the colors will be relevant for 3 of the 5 shards, which is slightly in your favor.

    Heh, I can't make it any more optimistic than that, though.

    What of popping in the Quillspike combo? That way if they have an answer for your Rite of Consumption, Kresh still gets the counters and can possibly swing ftw?

    Oh my god, this is nuts. Let's just say you sac two 1/1 tokens to this guy.

    That's a 5/5 Mulldrifter without flying. Not bad in my opinion.
    A couple more hoops to jump through, but you have a point: card draw with a creature attached should not be easily discounted.

    Quote from roussos
    I feel like a G/W/U deck futuring Rafiq+Stoic angel + Pariah Angel + CRyptic command + some ramp is gonna be a tier 1 deck.(and me likes Smile )
    No need to include the ramp and Empyrial Archangel. Just put beats + protection in an aggressive Exalted shell and you've got something that will win at FNM.

    10/10.



    Are you sure about Tower Gargoyle though? I think 4/4 flying for 4 is pretty house in limited. Players made tricolor happen in RGD - I think the same can happen with SSS.

    Quote from god of cyanide
    what kind of a club IS this, anyway? really now.
    Excuse me for not being a vocal part of the community (trying to change such), but I believe the answer people have been trying to get across is, "One you are not obliged to join." And again, to use your own words, it's a club - private, exclusive, etc.

    I just don't understand why this anti-Gutter minority exists. Much like I would be confused as to the existence of an anti-M:tG minority - people actively trying to shut down this forum because they can't be a part of our society because they don't want to play.
