  • posted a message on Poll: What is your relationship with house rules in the Commander format?
    We have only house ruled on a change to poison counters. In our group it became way to easy to get to 10 poison counters so we made it 20. We have debated other house rule changes but without a 100% agreement we don't make them.

    I have a for fun Sliver EDH deck. It's not meant to play in serious games at all. The come into play tapped duals are just fine in it with cards like

    Manaweft Sliver
    Gemhide Sliver
    Chromatic Lantern(An always included in multicolor decks for myself.)

    Trust me all you need is one of them and mana fixing is not an issue.

    Also cards like

    Make it faster as you can get more cards in your hand and play them out faster.

    Tutor with cheap tutors lets you find the pieces you need at the moment you need them.

    I agree with the idea of adding the evasion creatures. My friends absolute hate it when I drop an


    Nothing here is more then a $5 card so they are so easy to get one.

    Quote from Wally D. »
    Here is a peek at the creatures I run with Queen. Hopefully this helps ya. Toolbox Slivers
    Dormant Sliver

    You realize this stops your slivers from being able to attack right?


    This trick lets you build your slivers out and not have your opponents kill you outright. Most time my opponents in a multi-player came lose focus and center in on other players at the table letting me get to


    The main thing I had to learn about playing my sliver deck was it never has the same win condition. I mix it up and let the game I am in determine which sliver needs to be on board for that particular game

    In most of my decks I run a chromatic lantern

    No problem. Absolutely love this software so I thought I would throw in a helping hand. I am going to make a 2.0 if I can get some feed back. And an actual installation guide. Let me know if there is anything you want added.

    Even though tcgplayer.com has an average price for the sorin vs tibalt decks I don't seem to get a price update in The Vault. Try as I might I can't figure it out.

    I love this idea and I am a TO.

    I am in an area where we don't have a lot of people. Think the whole town is 5000 people with a play group of about 15 to 20. I have my share of spikes but they don't play their net-decks because they don't want to be the reason a newer player quits the game. My spikes all know they can go the "big city" and dominate but they choose to stay with us because they enjoy the environment.

    Thing with this idea is newer players or players who can't afford a $500 deck know they are not going to win and this gives them a way to get something more out of support our tournament store. Do I think it hurts the metagame at the store. I don't think so. I like the idea of having bragging rights at the store.

    For instance when you randomly joke about how the artifact player's deck would love Tolarian Academy, and have him go "What's that?"


    You say that like it's a bad thing. Why not teach newer players to love the older cards they way a seasoned player does. I can honestly tell you if my friends weren't showing me the older cards my love for MTG would have been a much slower affair.

  • posted a message on Wizards protects a thief.
    My MTGO account as hacked. I didn't give my password to anyone it was a straight hack.

    Wizards customer service department contacted me. I didn't contact them, they contacted me to ask when so my of my account went to Gulstaff Sorcerer of Light. When I told I didn't know how he got my account information or password they said they would look into it. A few hours later they emailed me saying they determined that I can him my password and I was at fault.

    I forward the one email I had from Gulstaff when no password in it at all. And they told me to get a lawyer. They would not protect me but they would protect the thief. I get threads removed from the wizards message boards, get my account suspended on MTGO if I talk about it. Time and time again I am told to get a lawyer and contact their legal department.

    Quit playing MTGO. Playing paper magic where your investment is protected. 85 tickets and over 500 rares and mythic rares stolen and wizards will do nothing about it.

    Protect yourself. Don't play this game.
