published the article Got some words floating around in my head and figured I should put them down somewhere (and screw Facebook - there are people on there who know who I am!). So I will inflict them onto you.Posted in: Random thoughts
My new years resolution: To be less considerate of others.
This is something that comes naturally to me so it shouldn't be difficult. Just societal pressure trying to make everyone all non-confrontational. What this actually leads to are people who will never tell you anything to your face but will go to your boss over it immediately. Just let me know! It's not like I'm going to light your dog on fire, though I'll grant I've used that threat in jest before.
Cell phones are like MF gear for accidents. (If you get this reference you should join the US East Ladder right now!)
If you text me a question, and I text you back an answer, do not again text me saying naught but "Ok" as my phone will let me know if a text didn't go through. If you actually had a followup question and it takes me 10m to answer it, this habit is why.
Related, make sure you've got your thoughts together before you actually send a text. Don't end up sending 2-4 texts in succession. You're triple-posting to my phone! You are why I about never check my texts immediately.
Why do people sign their posts? Whenever I see someone post like that I think of something along the lines of,
"Hi, Jon here. Wondering if you wanted to go get some food with me, Jon.
- Jon"
It's an annoyingly lengthy thought to be triggered with such frequency. I even know forums where the practice is explicitly disallowed.
My feet are heavily pronated (i.e. angled all funky and have terrible arches). My work boots do not support this AT ALL but I've found running shoes that fit pretty well. Downside, when I run after being in work boots all day my feet go all, "What do you want from us?! Well screw you, ☺☺☺☺☺☺☺. You don't get to stand up for an hour." I should probably invest in inserts.
Do not try to 'be gracious' while driving. The system is not designed for people to just let other people in out-of-turn. The system is designed for people to follow the system. You're not helping anyone. You're not saving anyone any time. You're behaving erratically (i.e. counter to expectation). This means people around you are going to have to move very carefully in case you suddenly start doing what you're supposed to.
This is a YouTube playlist I listen to at work: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jMruFHTwrY&feature=BF&list=PL5E3E2CC505FB241A&index=1
It's a bit... varied. But at least there's no country in it!
Have a good year.

Not 100% accurate
Quote from Ambassador LaquatusQuote from vezokpirakaYou can change it after you have 1000 posts.
I got mine at 400 posts though. Check it out in the Edit things in the control panel. You could just be lucky like me.
Actually "is afraid of Microwave ovens" is a title that all users get at some point.
Good to know
Quote from ludd_gangSorry dude, it sounds like you might be a tool.
Good question
Quote from Dan.fQuote from Wrath99How does hating infinate combos make go against not likeing players who cant take a loss? Infinite combos dont mean you will win it just takes up alot of time and prolongs the game when someone keeps taking x turns in a row. Yes they are part of the game but theat doesnt mean everyone likes dealing with them.
Are you saying there is a player in your group who takes infinite turns but does not win?
Cause blue in EDH has it so rough
I do not accept your premise!
Quote from RileyFor the sake of argument, we'll pretend that Blue players have feelings
Quote from GalspanicI have blue decks, but haven't been playing them as much lately because my therapist says that I should work on being nice.
Quote from DonaldI usually don't worry about the blue players too much, I just try to counter their spells and bounce their permanents mostly.
Whew! Wouldn't want that to happen!
Quote from ZasZ234Saved from ban by death!
Math is hard.
Quote from Stringdaddy27Quote from Kaos MDWhether right or wrong, the fact is you should have at least 14 green sources. 11 is too little.
This is why america needs better education... with a 19% chance to have a forest out of 60... times 7 for the number of cards in your opening hand... that is?
133% in ideal conditions to have a forest in your opening hand.
Quote from clan_iraqAnd what situation would you rather run a 1/1 over a 0/2 flying?
Quote from Horseshoe_HermitPoor sportsmanship is morally bankrupt.
The only punishment is death.
It's like you may as well offer babies to Satan.
Quote from stringsbatmanQuote from jdisawesomesauceAs a physics major I can tell you the above is correct with a few nitpicks.
The absorbtion of moisture cause the paper to expand where the plastic does not, this creates a shear force at the plastic paper interface with is relieved by the card bending inward to the centreline on the non-expanding foil side.
With a doublesided foil these force will exist at both interfaces, but cannot be relieved by bending inwards as this would creatre tension across the opposing foil interface. The forces on each face will attempt to balance causing the card to bend slighty if one foild faces has a stronger shear force than the other.
Essentially the card should not bend at all, asumming the foil is of equal strength on each side, this means there is no relief of the forces that lead to bending.
I suspect double foils will therefore peel more often if exposed to moisture as the glue is another part of the card that can give to relieve the forces present.
As Batman I can confirm both of these statements.
Quote from zero_99Yeah, repeatable effects are pretty terrible...
Quote from AlMoStLeGeNdArYIf a 4/4 guy with haste is great then a 5/1 guy with haste for 3 is even better am I right? The lack of trample is the defining factor. If it had flight it could be a worse version of hells thunder. No evasion and no trample = poo for four many. I guess you're going to be playing arc runners ? I mean 5/1 for 3 with haste that is great......
glory seeker >>>>> elspeth, knight errant in ww because elspeth only makes a 1/1 and glory seeker is a 2/2.
unsummon >>>>> jace 2.0 because u spend 4 mana to unsummon, not even at instant speed zomg.
that's how you evaluate cards rofl.
(That was a lie.)
Quote from tedvThis thread is going places!
Dramatic pause!
Quote from crosscounterAnnouncing...
THE LAST MAGIC: THE GATHERING SET!
250 brand-new cards, and not a single one of them isn't aggressively costed, playable in any and all formats, or worth less than $100.00 on the secondary market! It's the first set in The Last Magic: The Gathering Block, and we can tell you that the second set is gonna have a twist we've never done before: all of the cards are blank! That's right, folks! Once we create a set of nothing but tournament-caliber, format-defining, game-changing cards, the only logical follow-up is an endless feedback loop of power-creep! But since you guys complain about that so much, we're gonna save you the trouble and just give you sixteen blank pieces of cardboard! And in the third set, the packs are completely empty! Magic will never be the same, because it won't exist anymore!
Get ready for...
THE LAST MAGIC: THE GATHERING SET!
COMING THIS FALL!
Quote from Ertai87I think that Shock is terrible unless it's actually Flame Javelin.
Quote from CapitainDiegoWIZZARD AGRO IS WHY EVERY BLUE DECK SHOULD PLAY JUMP VARIANTS
The sense this makes.
Quote from khorn beserkerI will be so happy when this overpowered blue card (AGAIN) leaves t2 . This was a mistake of epic proportions and they didn't print pithing needle or oblivion ring or some replacement spell to stop the monstrosity they created . They need to reprint him in a duel deck asap.
Certainly not I!
Quote from Ambassador LaquatusYou seem to have too much time on your hands if you're psychologically profiling the moderators of this site and making signatures to troll them. Now, I'm only a psychology major, and don't have my degree just yet, but it seems to me that you're displaying a textbook case of displacement. You likely have lots of anger in your life, but aren't able to channel it at the sources that upset you, and there you displace your anger onto the moderators of this site in the form of trolling. Freud would likely state that this fixation on the speculation mods comes from stunted development during the anal phase of your infant development, which later manifest itself as an obsession with rejecting authority.
But hey, who's profiling?
7 card hands are tech
Quote from KPDaly16At one point my opponent asked for a piece of paper to keep track of what was going on, and the store worker asked what we could possibly be doing in EDH that would need paper to keep track of. I yelled over, "There's 5 Time Spirals on the stack". She gave us a confused look and decided not to ask any more questions.

Quote from MaddingYou sound like an annoying twit.
Quote fromThere are a lot of new players for whom the names of breakfast cereals don’t have such frightening connotations.
Quote from DevouringZombieJace is like Batman.
Quote from BouseHello Magic players...
Look at your deck, now back to mine.
Now back to your deck, now back to mine.
Sadly it isn't mine, but if you stopped using bad cards in your deck and started using Jace, the Mind Sculptors in your deck it would play like it's mine.
Look down, back up! Where are you?
You're at Worlds with the deck your deck could play like!
What's in your hand, back at me!
I have it!
It's a playset of foil Jace, the Mind Sculptors!
Look again!
The Jaces are now diamonds!
Anything's possible when you play Jace, the Mind Sculptor and not bad cards.
I'm on a Tarmogoyf!
*whistles*
Quote from CoffeeYou mean your FNM doesn't do animal sacrifices?
Apparently Gaea's Revenge is confusing...
Quote from Horseshoe_HermitWizards does not determine how morphology works!
There is no change that could occur between now and July 10th that would make it true that something green could count as being nongreen. Nothing! The set of green things will always and invariably be the exact complement of the set of things that are not green, and hence, nongreen. Nongreenness is precisely the lack of greenness. Nongreen things are all and only those which fail to be green. What is green can't be nongreen.
(This is actually kind of fun.)
And, Wizards does not determine how semantics work.
If there is a blue circular disc, that the disc is blue does not make it untrue that the disc can be said to be circular! If I asked if the disc is circular, it can suffice to tell me that it is. You may appease me with just the statement that it is, or the word 'yes', and forgo any report about its blueness! Because the concern is if the disc is circular, or not.
This man speaks truth.
Quote from TheEndIsNearNot to nit-pick, but theres no e in "bat".
Quote from Donald_McDonaldQuote from Ambassador LaquatusI only hope they unban it when they realize power creep is here to stay and fat, efficient creatures aren't going away anytime soon.
I'm pretty sure other efficient creatures being printed won't cause Emrakul not to have annihilator 6.
This man speaks truth.
Quote fromLosing the game is bad.
Quote from DivineChaosOff-Topic, Hayden Panetierre is hot.
Quote from PromatimThere are some guys who would prefer that a girl writes him a poem, or creates some sort of Saw-like scenario where the only way to survive is to go to a movie. But I am not going to suggest that you do these things for a guy who I don't know.
Quote fromIs it possible to have Ib Halfheart, Goblin Tactician sacrifice two Plains to create two 1/1 black Lizard tokens? Yes. And until you have tried doing so, how can you judge the level of efficiency that doing so holds?
Defiler of Souls is awesome!
Quote from CorpTI often feel the need to kill one of my opponent's creatures (maybe) of his choice on turn 7.

droid image leeched an image and was summarily executed for it.
Moral of the story: don't leech images from unofficial sources because the hosts might turn them into disgusting shock images instead of cutting you off or reporting you.
Quote fromI am petitioning for the end of: the Mythic rarity, the Planeswalker card type, the post-8th edition card faces, the 2010 rule changes, colorless cards that aren't artifacts or lands, the Legendary supertype, the stack, auras, multicolor cards, artifact creatures, tokens, goblins, merfolk, elves, sorceries, instants, and permanents. Basically, I just want to play with purple contraptions.
Copy this sig to join the cause. Cuz, ya know, Wizards makes decisions based on sigs.
Certainly the appropriate reaction
Quote from MoatilliattaHe started going on (loudly) about the probability of that happening, and how it took no skill. He said "it was like playing Hellen Keller." He then sat at the back of the store going over the scenario (very loudly) like it was absolutely unbelievable. Preetttyyyy annoying, but I was like nomnom16 points.
Damn those humans
Quote from tedvQuote from MRdown2urthUgh. None of you sound fun to play against anymore....
Yeah, I'm the same way. I only like playing against chimps. Humans build decks that are too hard to beat.
Quote from Rico SuaveYawgmoth's Will is like a big set of knockers.
It isn't going to make a fat cow become suddenly attractive.
But if the girl is already hot, then a big set of knockers makes her even better.
Maybe the problem is your 6-10 mana spells make a giant, fat, ugly cow.
Appropriate responses ITT
I know, right?
Quote from Hedon"Someone spewing stupid, badly spelled crap on the Internet? Quick, let's try to reason with him!"
Quote from klapauciusQuote from VirtusMaybe it will be:
Darksteel Relic
Legendary Artifact Mythic Rare
Darksteel Relic is indestructable
Metalcraft: Draw a card
Whatever it may be, I want it.
Is Metalcraft used as a cost there? "Control three artifacts: draw a card"? If so, I want five, but also want those to be the only five ever printed.

Quote from ExLightQuote from PsiJetWell the artist credit was my fault. I knew I should have put it on there and it must have slipped past me trying to rush it before the deadline. *Shrug* It's not like it's a big deal, but either way, we now have a pretty nice card to throw down with. LOL
i got an infraction for that.....
Those Memnites...
Quote from RamenthHaving seen the Myr/Memnarch, I think we can safely conclude that the factions will be Phyrexia, Mirroden Pure, and, apparently, Protoss.

Quote from NightfallGeminiQuote from BarinellosI seem to recall reading somewhere that Rofellos was homosexual, but I have no idea where I got that honestly.
Possibly from anyone who's ever had to play against him ever.
Quote from sentimentGX4To be honest, in a faceless internet society, I subconsciously assume the poster is the character in the avatar.
So if your avatar was Foxy Love from Drawn Together, for example, I would presume you were an attractive African female with a fox's tail sprouting frm your behind and treat you accordingly.

Quote from MaddingWe can't force fat people to sit in the back of the bus because the front wheels would occasionally lift from the road, putting everybody in danger.

And he didn't even make note of the fact he urinated and i was standing in a puddle of it for a few minutes. If someone pee'd on you, whould your first thought be "oh poor you, that must be so terrible, not being potty trained! he's a diaper and some oreo's". I think not.
Well there ya go. We would have been more understanding about the situation if you had just told us he was a diaper in the first place. I thought you were talking about a person.
Words!

AAAAH!
Quote from metalevolenceQuote from Blackjack68Dralnu if you want max combo potential, Thrax for tribal beatdown or anything else. Sedris stays on the porch and watches the big dogs play.
Quote from Blackjack68I just meant that Thrax is a really good commander, but the best support cards for him aren't really zoms. To get the most out of him takes a different approach. I maybe shouldn't have used the word "terrible", just not optimal.
And of course it's just my personal opinion, but I think Geth is the way to go for zombie tribal. Built with a "big mana" approach it can be pretty strong, especially if you tiptoe outside the bounds of tribal just a bit.
OH WHAT NOW
AND YOU THOUGHT YOU'D GET AWAY WITH IT TOO
NOT TODAY, YOU FLIP-FLOPPING SWINE
Quote fromWriting a blog is like standing outside on a crowded street corner, closing your eyes, and talking to yourself. Maybe somebody listens to you. Maybe they don't. Either way, you come across as mentally ill and nobody wants to see you ever again.
Quote from David.booseQuote from paperwarriorSnapcaster Mage will be nowhere near as dominant as Stoneforge Mystic, and it's not going to be as widely applicable as Noble Hierarch. He's still a very good card, but the fact that he's rare and that you need to build around him says to me that he won't go over $15.
OH MY GOD NO I HAS TO PUT SPELLS IN MA DECK, this card is too restrictive... requiring spells and crap... bastard of a card

Quote from kpacaQuote from Ball LightningAs a side comment, I went to McDonald's last week and ordered 2 meals. The total came out to $15.01, I handed the cashier a $20 she asked me if I had a penny, i had left my change in the car. She proceeded to give $4.99 all in change. I was going to complain to the manager, then I realized she was the manager. *shrug*
Yes, because clearly you should consider calling the manager because your order taker show'd some friendly customer service in trying to help you out by asking if you had a penny, and then when you didn't resorted to doing her job, as at places like this even giving away a penny will result in your drawer being short and will definitely cause you some sort of hassle with your supervisors. But like I said, clearly you should consider calling managers in these situations. It's situations like this with people who call managers that really make me hate my job. Why does no one seem to understand that the people at these places are actual people and not pond scum?
Oh, Balls. That's an expression we should bring back.
Quote from StardustQuote from SteinoI will proceed to play combo. It is not a nanny deck. It is a statement of “look I can do it too.” Turn four or five the game is over and look I win. Repeat. The entire time I am bored doing this, but it is much better than getting to turn five through seven and instead of expecting to play a game get blown out by some infinite win combo.
When I was young and playing soccer, there was one kid who would just kick everyone in the balls and declare himself the winner. So, next game we played I kicked everyone in the balls to show him how it felt. Sure, all my friends were pissed since they got kicked in the balls twice, but at least I got to kick that kid in the balls too.
Bah, who needs cards to play cards? Not this guy!
Quote from TantarusI had someone play one of my decks. And they kept Phyrexian Arena in their hand the whole game. The at the end asked me why I would have such a terrible card that hurts myself. I started to explain life as a resource and card advantage. But his eyes glazed over so I just stopped and told him I was a bad player.
Quote from ZemogFCI keep a binder full of money cards to show off aka my "trade binder".
I ask everyone in my lgs to trade then tell them one by one "thats not for trade".
I then go home, call LordofSecrets and we swap stories of our ego building "trading adventures".
Then we fwap together.

Quote from gnomeQuote from TanionJace bounce was a -1. He could do it 3 times before he would die. Liliana can only do it once before having to do her +1. Overall very disappointed with her unless we get Madness.
Crap, you're right, she's not as good as one of the single most overpowered cards ever printed. Unplayable!

Quote from LordRewindQuote from KillaneQuote from Jack_from_NCPheldagriff.
You read that correctly.
I hate this card. I hate it with every fiber of my being. Were I to write the word "HATE" on grains of sand, the largest desert in the world composed of such sand couldn't contain all the rage I have for that card.
I want to take every copy and burn them. Then take the ashes and spread them into the darkest part of space.
Then I want to perfect time travel, and go to the point of history in which whatever asinine designer thought creating this travesty was a good idea. I want to meet them, and slap them in the face as hard as I can while wearing a Hippo suit with wings. So they're too traumatized to dare create the card, effectively blanking Pheldagriff from history.
Then I want to travel to hell, and fight Pheldagriff's physical manifestation in one-on-one hand-to-hand combat. When I rip out it's still-beating heart and take a bite, it's blood trailing down my chin as I let out a primal growl, only then will I know peace.
Why?
Some men just want to watch the hippo burn.
Quote from tickerWhen people talk about playing Sedris as a combo general, I just imagine this hulking necromancer warlord hunched over riding a squeaky tricycle made of palinchron parts at breakneck speed down mountains of bones and dead things, randomly swatting off player's heads with his mace.
It's like, sure he is evil and crazy...but would YOU get in the way of that much fun?

Keep doing it until you understand why you're wrong.

Quote from DarcykunSo, depending on your definition of speeding... if you mean simply, "going over the speed limit," yeah, it doesn't really cause problems. If you mean, "going 90 in a residential area," you must enjoy bathing in the blood of children and I can get behind literally everything you say.

Obviously false.

There's a few cards I've been wanting to try but never really had something that they'd fit in. Foremost among these, Repercussion and Burning Sands (but I did avoid playing Vicious Shadows!). I didn't go all-in on cards to interact with Repercussion because, mostly, you shouldn't need to, but also because the removal is cooler. I wanted to put a Black Market in, but I can't find one!

I basically built this to try out Warp World in EDH, and because mono-red actually gets to play a lot of cool cards (Gratuitous Violence et al). I tried to make this a little tamer than my last mono-red list (Zirilan of the Claw) while still being able to do well. It's basically designed as a burn deck (Warp into Ankh for the lulz). Not to be too hardcore about the warping, there's actually 8 cards that are dead when flipped off a warp (5 other spells, Chandra, Sculpting Steel, Everflowing Chalice). It still tends to come out WAY ahead unless someone hit an Avenger of Zendikar.

The discard spells have been awesome, as have Chromatic Star and Terrarion. It is not ideal to go into beat-down mode but the deck allows for it. Nether Void is for the hard lock.

So, welcome to EDH storm! Karona is the general simply because of Empty the Warrens. I'd allow Sliver Queen would make a similar general with a very slightly different deck (possible addition of a few slivers and a few other options for unbound combos). At it's simplest it's a collection of various 2-3 card combos and all the draw and tutor I can think to dig for them. At it's most intricate it's a crazy balance of trying to find the a large enough quantity of mana and filtering it into the appropriate colors for the spells you need. The two cards it's most singularly focused on abusing are Dream Halls and Channel. I've seen Channel roll into a turn 1 win.

This is my "softest" EDH deck. Hard to complain about, easy to play, it's basically MWC with some really good card-advantage engines. I default to this deck when introducing someone to EDH and when playing at an unknown venue. Feel free to comment (or let me know if you've got foils I'm missing ).

This is a more casual blue deck than Niv-Mizzet but it still has some really solid tricks. Grave Pact sub-theme, a smattering of mill cards and ways to give Wrexial haste, and the extremely threatening Guiltfeeder seem to work out rather well.

This is a fairly competitive deck. Lots of raw power combined with powerful synergies and it's hard to do anything small. There's a few particularly devastating plays (Plagiarize + a wheel) and a number of interactions that just end the game (Mind Over Matter + anything).

This is a shameless combo deck with a huge "oops, I win" factor. The number of possible unbound interactions is rather large but the backup plan of attacking with Mind's Eye is mediocre. It's competitive but it's there's some extremely good hate for it.
