Good day fellow Water Cooler Talk Vs. Containment poll voters! I post because I would like to elaborate on my choice in the OP's poll. Obvious as it may be, my vote was cast for "Yes, we need checkboxes". I would, however add some nuance to this choice, as there can be a variety of different types of polls to vote for. Some polls are realistically grave in their seriousness and hence require you to think about the vote to be cast thoroughly (Like Howler mentioned above), and checkboxes would obstruct this 'forced-choice' principle. Mostly however, polls in this lovely Vs. containment forum are less serious in nature and would be better without forcing a choice upon said voter. Take a recent popularity poll for the rulers and friends of this very forum. One could force members to choose their very mod, but this would disable the option to tell the world that all mods are loved equally and no one would be left out (as I would have liked to do in said poll). This is of course but an example, but in many cases adding checkboxes to a poll will make it less of a win-lose situation and more of a win-'a little less win' situation. Sound good to me!
I've been wondering about something. Obviously I started my query in the good ol' google, but there did not seem to turn up that many sensible answers. I turn to this fine message board with the hopes that maybe anyone knows someone whom might be able to answer my question:
How does a blind person know when to stop wiping? (after visiting a toilet, obv.)

Creature - Human Lord
Whenever a Human enters the battlefield under your control put a +1/+1 counter on that creature and it gains Flying, First Strike, Haste or Trample (It retains this ability for as long as it reamains on the battlefield.)
Sure, bring on the Flying, First Strike, Haste and Trample counters!
In a format where you can do it with little to no artifacts, it becomes over the top acceleration for combo and would make Cascade (Hypergenesis or not) utterly insane(er).
Ah yes, cascading into a Chrome mox would seem like a good idea.
Make sure to drink water. Most of the 'after effects' (headache, nausea) from drinking alcohol are caused by the lack of water in the right parts of your body, fill up on water and the effects should be way less.
- Tombstalker and Dark Confidant don't mix well. I know you have 2 Tops but it's still risky.
- Tombstalker and Planar Void really don't mix well. Play Leylines or Crypt/Relic/Bomb.
- Sideboard overall could use some work. Engineered Plague is only amazing if you expect a ton of Goblins... it's okay against Merfolk but I'd rather have other stuff for them. Canonist is decent.
- You have a ton of equipment main and boarded. I would cut down to 3 pieces total.
- Scrublands, bro.
- 4th Wasteland, bro.
- Thoughtseize is probably better than Duress, depending on the metagame.
- Swords to Plowshares, bro.
Thanks for the swift response(s)!
I think I'll switch out the 'stalkers for Vampire Nighthawk then, so the Planar Void should still be fine, right? (considering bob and speed)
Top can go too in that case, freeing up some space for stp or maybe Gatekeeper of Malakir?
Heavy black seems like a nice route to take , the rituals give it a lot of speed (in exchange for some vulnerability, Chrome mox seems worse though).
Edit: Also, would swapping Duress with Inquisition of Kozilek a good idea in general?
I sure as hell didn't "fear the reaper." I think they can do better for a core set zombie lord. I hope we don't see Cemetery Reaper until a Zombies vs. Plants comes about.
Fix'd ^_^.
Also, I'd love to see the return of the zombies somewhere in the near future. There is just something about those brain-consuming walking-dead-guys that makes them special. Too bad (but considerably logic marketing-wise) Wotc chose for vamps to be their go-to black coreset creatures.
Thanks for all the hard work you have put into this site Mikey, it is always a sad day when a mod/admin of your stature decides to put down his function.
P.S. have you finally decided to stop trying to be one of them and embrace the fact you have always been one of us?

This is correct.
A sensible answer, but it does leave me wondering about the difficulties a type (1) wiper would face if he or she would become blind.

Sure, bring on the Flying, First Strike, Haste and Trample counters!
Nope.
Ah yes, cascading into a Chrome mox would seem like a good idea.
Nevertheless I agree with you on the banning.
And don't forget, birthdays are fur enjoying time (and getting wasted) with friends, so have one on me ^_^.
Also, don't drink so much, stupid!

I'm pretty new to this type of deck (and playing Legacy as a whole), but it seems a solid and fun deck to play. Aiming for something like:
Are there any quick tips about card choices you guys could give me? I'd be happy to discuss a bit!
Fix'd ^_^.

Apparently, only no one was aware of it.
