    Tie between "Behind Blue Eyes" Fred Durst and "How Come, How Long" by Babyface (the domestic violence one in case i got the name wrong)


    I'm not usually one to criticize one's taste in music, but Limp Bizkit!? How about The Who instead?

    Only problem I see with spreading GBW and running Ghost Council would be the mana fix of WWBB, while running dual lands and pain lands help the curve alot, would the curve still run correctly with it? Only reason why I am asking/saying this is because I've been playing multicolored since Legends came out, and the curves then were horrible with the elder dragon legends and what not, so running these 'ultimate' cards that require a double color payment would actually be worse than running a single cost of one color, increasing the curve by a rather exceptional amount. -shrugs-


    Well, I'm only running green for some tokens and mana fixing, and it may get cut, depending on how things turn out. With access to 9 multilands, I think I'll be able to design something that works well. I'll let everyone know how it works out once I manage to snag the councils (or if someone builds GWB first, of course spread the love).

    Cheap creature, Imma go with the Lion so that I could have multiples in play for the haunt mechanic and aggro. Blocking doesn't really matter at this point. Thanks anyway.


    In my GW aggro I actually run 4 lion and 2 hound. Most legends aren't worth a 4-of in a deck, but I had to run at least one hound and 2 has been the right number so far. Also, remember that with the new legendary rule, you can play a second hound simply to kill the first if you've got a haunt trigger or two you need to set off and they're not killing it in combat.

    The way I see it is the card removed with Leyline of the Void never hits the graveyard. So if a card is haunted and is supposed to go into an opponents' graveyard, it doesn't, it is directly moved from the game. I don't think there is anything to stack? That's the way I see it and the way I've been playing with and against it.


    Yea. I thought Haunt and Leyline had the "If... remove it from the game instead" wording, in which case they would trigger simultaneously, but I guess Haunt isn't a replacement effect. Oops. For reference (as if anyone but I needed it):

    Leyline: "If a card would be put into an opponent’s graveyard, remove it from the game instead."

    Haunt (creature version): "When this card is put into a graveyard from play, remove it from the game haunting target creature."

    RFGed means "Removed from Game". Many cards with the new "Haunt" ability are removed from the game when they normally would go onto the graveyard, but they haunt another creature with their last power.

    If your opponent also plays Orzhov, and you kill one of his haunt creatures (having the black Leyline in game) , these creatures can't use their ability cause they don't go to the graveyard but directly out of the game.

    I thought the active player got to stack triggers, in which case he could stack the Leyline and then Haunt so Haunt would go off first, resolve as normal, and the Leyline would fizzle.

    Edit: I'm wrong (see two posts down)

    I guess the lyrics have more relevance to me than the tone of the music itself. I thought Kid A was probably their most emotional work, even though it was a lot of electronic instrumentation.


    I would say that's 100% of the difference. Oh, and I completely forgot to list my sad song, which was "It's a Mother****er" by The Eels

    That's impressive- for all the sad songs Radiohead has, you picked one of the only ones that's supposed to be HAPPY. There's really nothing about that song that's sad...


    I would disagree: "Lucky" has a very dark, mournful delivery that can set a pretty sad mood, whether or not you consider the lyrics themselves to be sad.

    Quote from Sibtiger »
    Beat you to it a looong time ago :wink:. I could probably list all of radiohead's sad songs right here...
    Creep, Planet Telex, Fake Plastic Trees, High and Dry, Street Spirit (not so much sad as....scared) Subterranean Homesick Alien, Exit Music, Let Down, No Surprises, How to Disappear Completely (saddest one IMO), Morning Bell, Motion Picture Soundtrack, Pyramid Song, You and Whose Army, Knives Out, Amnesiac/Morning Bell, I Will, Scatterbrain, True Love Waits, Fog (again)...

    There are probably more in the B-sides, but I don't know all of them.


    Creep is probably more angry than sad, imo, and a lot of the music off their last three albums doesn't strike me a sad just because of the intrumentation. I find it hard to carry emotional weight w/ electronic arrangements, but that's how the songs hit me in particular. I would say that Exit Music (for a film) is their saddest song.

    (Wow, three threads was a lot of reading.)

    I'd like to be a member of the Orzhov.

    I voted #9, because:
    1) it has potential in any color (and artifact)
    2) We have no idea what's going on. Why is it floating? What is the trail of things? WTF in general?
    3) I've never seen Magic art quite like this. Shouldn't we be pushing the envelope here, since this is possibly the only time something like this will happen?

    #4 is my second choice (not that we get those), and #7 and #8 really caught my eye.

    How many times has this question been asked? I'm thinking we need a big sticky that says, "ATTENTION: PERVERTS" or something at the top of the forum. Grin


    Sorry, I'm new here and just thought it was a funny "mistake". No harm intended. I don't see how pointing it out makes me a pervert.

    Is this an error, or is this just a "dirty" card:
