    just broke 1000 chimney imp the other day.


    Holy crap! I've never heard of anyone who had a 1000 of any one card! That's pretty damn neat!

    I mainly collect Shared Fates I've got about 50. I use to collect pestilences but I got bored after they stopped printing them. I had about 300 or so.

    I've been listening to Cab Calloway's "St.James Infirmary" a whole lot. Its a beautiful song, everyone should listen to it.

    Although im not at all aware of how this system works. Im sure if it has to do with intelligence, that I'd not fair well. The last report card I remember getting was straight failures in all classes other then cooking, where I got a C-.

    I guess my GPA would probably be something like 0.2, is that possible?

    So far the deck is doing pretty awful still. I want to try something different though. I was thinking of trying to drop the Prisons and the Creeps, and go for a little bit more speed and aggro.

    What are some good cheap creatures that would actually be worth running. I see 6 open spots right now. Leonin Skyhunter is cool, but i can't see running him unless I had some cool thing like Jitte or SofI, wich I dont think im running enough creatures for. Maybe Sofi, what with the birds, ehhh, I dont know.

    Any help would be hot.

    I so desperatley want to make a rogue deck that actually is fun and kinda workds, but all my attempts have failed since my last good G/W Slide deck from Oddesy.

    I think this deck is slightly neat, but I know it needs fixing. A better kill condition perhaps. Im sure theres lots of cards im overlooking from Betrayer's and Saviours since I've been kind out of out of magic what with losing lots of cards and getting into Yugi.

    Heres the crappy deck:



    Basically just a average controllish deck. Im also trying to take advantage of the whole LD aspect of the deck though with Plow and Creep and Ghostly Prison.

    Well any help would be sexy, thanks.

    Although i hate meat, i am forced by the poorness of myself and my birth-giver to eat it. The vegatarian diet is actually quiet expensive.

    When i do eat meat though, I prefer fish, but I dont often get to get it unless I can steal it from the super market. Sushi is my favourite indeed. I always look forward to eating it, it's totally pum.

    I like cheap alcohol. Natty Ice, Boones Farm, MD 20/20, St. Ides and Steel Reserve.

    Vitamin water is nice as well. Its like the clear fresh style of water, with flavour and vitamins, isn't that awesome! Everyone should indeed drink it. I sure hope they dont have a mind control subtance in it though, sometimes I worry that they might.

    I put 21-30. Im about as close as you can possibly be to being gay, without actually being sexually attracted to other males. I'm girly, like wearing nail polish and girly clothes, i tend to sound kinda girly, and I hate sports with a passion and prefer shopping.

    I like this deck a lot, since I made it all be me lonesome and it's sort of okay at times. It plays well against T&N,MBC,and MUC. Sadly it's a bi for anyone playing Ponza or LD.

    Basically the idea of the deck is to get out early LD in the form of Creep,Reap, and Plow. Between entwined Reap and Sows, and Scyrings, you should hopefully have a really awesome mana base, whilst your opponent has little to none. Then you use all that mana to play Planar Portal and either tutor for the appropiate kill, or tutor for cards that will help perpetuate the LD, like more Plow Under's and what not.

    The mirror is in there sort of as a alternative to Portal, to either go infinite with Beacon of tommorows(Portal can do this too, yep), or do cool stuff with Plow Under.

    I don't have a SB, since I basically never play tournies. But it would probably have something like 3-4 Sacred Grounds in it, and perhaps more Wraths. I don't really know what else, COP:red maybe?

    I really like this deck, and it would mean oodles if people were to comment and suggest things since I want to bring it to FNM someday and try to win at least 1 match.

    Or better yet, play me on appr, I really want to test this against other T2 decks! My aim is in my profile.

    Thanks in advance.

  • posted a message on Are You a Pessimist or an Optimist?
    I would define myself as a pessimist, but i feel that I'd be giving myself too much credit. Nonetheless, I've heard others describe me as a pessimist.

    It's interesting that we've brought this up. Just recently, I've read in multiple places, that people have described pessimism as "believing we live in the worst possible world". I've felt that was kind of a weak-hearted ideal of pessimism. A true pessimist would understand that although we do live in a horrible, cold, ugly and wholly evil world, that it's not the worst considering its on a constant level of decline. Tommorow will always be worse then yesterday, life will only get harder and be less fun, and theres really no point to even trying.

    In my opinion, unless your born into wealth or a generally charmed life, theres really no reason to carry on living past 17-18 or so. From then, its just about getting a job you hate until your too old to do it anymore, then your forced to move to Florida to retire and just die alone and having never really accomplished anything.

    I would love to lie to myself sincerely enough to become an optimist, it's rather depressing being in a state where you tend to be dissapointed when you found that your still alive each morning when you wake up, and having to just sort of hang around in bed for a few hours thinknig of a reason to get up that day. I never really find a good reason, but eventually get bored of just lying there and just go about my day moping around by myself.

    I don't know, I would more describe myself as a realist. To me being a realist is understanding that pessimism isn't strong enough a word to describe your outlook on life. Realism is when you see that the glass isn't even half empty, theres just no water in there at all. And if theres is a liquid in there, it's most likely poisonous.

    I've never been a big fan of miseting or what they call humour. But I'll give them credit for that one, it was well thought out, and obviously took photoshop talent to pull off.

    If anything, its the fault of the people who were fooled by it that they got fooled. The only reason I would imagine anyone would want to punish Tidwell for his act was because they were pissed off that they got let down.

    It's not often I speak up for a tinger, but yeah, he played a good joke. If anything we should be giving him credit for it, not trying to think of how to get retribution.

    As for the whole trying to get Wizards to put better cards in the core sets. Im actually all for it, once they don't print cards that by themselves can dominate a format, like Ravager or Tolarian Academy.

    But yeah, awesome but not totally broken cards of yore would be really neat to see again in a core set. Maybe stuff like Counterspell, Geddon, FoF, STP, and just good cards that would allow a variety of strong decks to come out. Rather then they're just being like 2-3 main big decks.

    So yeah, I guess I'd sign that.

    I use to do a hell of a lot of drugs, and one day whilst on mushrooms I realized that my spirit creature was an octopuss. I felt as if I had way more arms then I was born with and the name "Jolly The Octopuss" came into my head. I pictured this twisted looking octopuss with a top hat and gnarled and winding teeth sort of spinning around in his mouth. He appeared very sinister, but his voice was cute and cartoon like. He's the happy, fun, and loving part of me. And I've sort of grown a connection with this part of my psyche. Even though I tend not to pay enough attention to it during my daily life.

    That is where my name come from

    I went into this sincerly thinking I'd only click on the first few. Sadly, I soon found out that I had clicked on each one of them.

    These people are all beautiful to me. More beautiful then probably most of the other people on HotorNot. Certainly better then the ones on Myspace.

    I only like the old fighting games. I guess if I had to pick one, I'd go with Street Fighter 2 Turbo. Mortal Kombat 2 and 3 were pretty cool too.

    I also really liked Samurai Showdown, Tam-Tam was so hot in that!

    I don't think theres any reason burning a flag should be anymore illegal then burning anything else. I mean, it only means as much as what you want it to mean. And by saying that this rag is more important then another rag, your letting personal opinion play a part in law, and I don't really think that should happen.
