1) Race was not an issue the media is making it out to be one. 2) Zimmerman should have never gotten out of his car, period. 3) You can not assign guilt until all the facts are out, the fact that Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are pretty much spinning this whole thing for money should be reason enough to throw them both in Jail, same goes for Russel Simmons tweeting people's addresses he needs a few years and a giant law suit. Though point #2 is the most valid, once outside of the car we don't know if Martin got confrontational or Zimmerman was the aggressor. But please stop treating this as a race issue.
What do you guys think SCM prices are going to do? Up? Down? Thinking of getting a playset just to hold on to. Also though im selling most of my collection I am looking to pick up a playset of every RV dual. =D
So I have decided to quit playing magic for now, I am keeping Just my edh deck and a few cards sentimental to me. My sales thread has just a fraction of my collection listed and Im looking to get 2 grand. I will still be active on the forums as I will probably still draft and sell what ever else I end up finding at my old house.
If I have a Doomed Traveler in play and its my turn and I cast Angelic Destiny targeting that specific doomed traveler, and my opponent Gut Shot's it my Angelic Destiny is no longer legal and therefor goes to the graveyard correct?
So If I have Rafiq of the Many as my general equipped with Sword of War and Peace and swing at my opponent and encounter no blocks and my opponent has 6 cards in hand do I win?
? a luxury complaint? you do realize that on the first page I can name 5 of those places that don't even exist anymore? These places don't do fnm I don't know how it works in southern Germany but considering MTG was made in the U.S. and I live in the country's 3rd largest city Its quite ridiculous not to be able to find a place to play. Maybe for some people who have no job or can take a 2 hour drive FNM is awesome but to those of us who work until 6 or 7pm we are given no way of playing sanctioned events.
So lets start out with this, I got back into magic during alara / zendikar block and had started playing at a place that started FNM @ 7 exact and was pretty far from my house. I made it to fnm I would say once a month or so. The owner of that shop eventually turned into a douche and I went to a different shop with a later start time but even further from my house. That shop eventually moved closer to me, had the same start time and a friend began playing there. That shop closed down a couple months ago and I recently went to pretty much the only place in the city with a decent turn out (or so I thought).
I went last week and got there @ 7:02 and they had started FNM already, but I found out that that was draft (they had ALOT of people for draft) and that standard starts @ 7:30 (wooohoooo!) so I played last week and got second place. Yesterday I went back there, and even though the guy last week said they were doing standard @ 7:30 (and thats what time it started last week) they had decided to move standard to 6:30.
Considering I live in the city of Chicago, you would think I could find a place to play that would work for my schedule. I think this dilemma has alot to do with wotc disallowing sanctioned events that weren't held at a store. Anyone else have this problem? Solutions? I mean I understand people want to go home before midnight and stuff but come on not all of the world gets out of work @ 5pm. This inability to make standard FNM has me seriously thinking about quitting magic (again).
So this is my attempt at making a Rafiq Voltron Deck. I made the deck because I miss playing mythic bant. Note that the list below is over 100 cards as im doing some pruning and some cards have not yet been traded for / arrived.
Decklists do not belong here. If you would like to address a few key elements of a deck or a particular card choice then please in the future simply utilize a link to the deck in the main disucssion forum. -ISB

I might go to indy depending on whether I go to the IRS show in Orlando (for work obviously). Grats on making an Slivers EDH deck, I had one as well and overlord was my general (just so I could tutor the queen & legion). Anyone realize that the traders are coming harder to come by? I feel alot of people are more standard based and don't have the cards I need (im being selfish want to finish my edh deck). Im wondering if my approach is wrong or my prices? Because Im still beating magiccards.info low and im looking at some other sales / motl threads and Im lower on cards that are $10+ pricing. Maybe its just a rough patch for me atm -.- but I need to sell this junk to get my edh finished. Also Josh has some sick deals (thanks again) and Im glad your back on the climb again.
So I bought a 60gb ssd drive to go with my new asus g74 laptop with the intention of installing win7 to it via the recovery disks I would make from the Image. Problem is however that the C: on the original Hdd has a total of 59gb used. Will I be able to install the recovery disks to my new ssd? Or is there something else I have to do to debloat the recovery then intall? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have about an hour to do this before I have to go to work.
Vita succeeds for one reason and one reason only, If A the hacking community can make them run PS2 games like the psp ran ps1 games (have a psp and 2 16gb memory card filled with every great ps1, snes, sega, gameboy adv etc.) or 2 if sony is smart enough to sell ps2 games on the vita for 5-10 each. They need to bring the price down and bring the price of the memory cards down as well. I had one on preorder and took my preorder off after some more info came out. Ive had 6 psp's (some were lost some stolen some broken) and still have 2 of them 1 fat 1 skinny and I can say that if sony puts ps2 games on the vita 3ds sales gonna drop like a size 40 pants on a 125lb woman.

I think im ending up a bit creature heavy.
