And it did indeed seem like Freud just often made broad generalizations based on his own feelings, rather than a genuine understanding of how the human mind worked/adapted/responded in any given scenario. -

Where as here you can go as far as giving specific details of how you want your funeral arranged, where to donate your organs, who gets to keep all your stuff. And with no risk of coming out with egg on your face! -

Still though,I heard a lot of people weren't so into the whole "I was pulling out a long black rope" thing. So maybe it should be called something like "Single Action Cleanse" but have a lil disclaimer like "Dual Action for Lovers Cleanse" with a lil face next to it.
I love subliminal messages like that and I think it would help sell this already amazing product. -

Would our shrimp feet move us around without our conscent, or would they be linked to our nerves in a way where we'd be able to control their motions and in that way control how we move.

I mean yeah, I think we're more or less on the same page. As a whole, MTG is way better. It's always been the game I took more seriously and played more, where as yugioh I always kinda just played casually. It is just a way better designed game all around.
I just always have Yugi on the side to tool around with if I get burnt out on MTG or just to have something to play friends at the shop with. A lotta people play either one or the other and it's cool to be able to talk with either "The Yugioh Kids" or "The Magic Kids" that wouldn't otherwise talk to each other that often.
I've been playing yugioh on and off for like 7-8 years. And it just seems everyone always has the same misconception about it. The thing with yugioh is that in any given like "season" or whatever you call it, there'll be like about 2-4 "secret rare" cards that will be suuuper expensive like $100+ each at least. Aside from that, soooooooo much get's reprinted as a common or as an easy to come by promo.
So it's actually really easy to make a semi-functional tournament deck for 10 dollars. Even if it's not the deck that needs those hundred dollar secret rares, it would still be able to hold it's own.
Imagine if Magic printed Jace, The Mind Sculptor as a common in Modern Masters and gave out promo foil Tarmogoyfs with every $10-12 Intro Deck you bought. All of a sudden your 100+ Jace's and Tarmogoyfs are worth maybe 20 dollars at most and would be worth less and less as time goes on and more and more common reprints get thrown into every sort of pre-made deck and other such gimmick. Eventually a player could make a totally solid "top tier" Modern deck that would once cost them like over 1k for probably around 20-30 dollars. That's sort of how yugi works.
To put it in perspective. I got back into yugioh about 3 months ago. After like 3 weeks of being back into it. I went from having nearly nothing to having 4 totally functional decks that would at least be "decent" in tournaments after putting under 30 dollars in to it.
Yugioh is actually way more cheap than MTG with the only exception being those few chase rares that just end up getting reprinted no more than a year later anyway.
Just to clarify, I never really "get out" of either game. I'll just sorta focus more on one game for awhile. I'm sure I'd still mess around with MTG.
Yeah, I'm definitely loving what we have now. I'm just a lil weary of what Mono-Green is gonna be once Innistrad rolls out and we lose Predator Ooze, Rancor, Strangleroot Geist, Garruk Relentless, and Wolfir Silverheart.
Kalonian Hydra seems cool, I was definitely considering it to replace Silverheart. I'm just kinda bummed that it doesn't have the immediate effect on the board that Silverheart does.
Much thanks for the feedback!
@Caedere: I dig your build too! I'd definitely try and get those Mutavaults in there though. They really do make such a big difference. There's a lot of games where I took it because I was getting through that extra damage with Mutavaults and I probably wouldn't have if they were just plain ole forests.
I kinda hate Modern, I'll probably just get into Yugioh for a few months.
I'm not sure about the Mayor. On one hand, if he flips he is totally awesome. And Immerwolf does pump him and he'd work well with a few Moonmists. But he's one of those guys where he kinda needs something else to be cool. Just him and any other Wolf that isn't one of those things and he's just a crappy 1/1 for 2 mana.
I guess I could give him a shot though. And I definitely need to find room for Garruk Relentless! I can't bring myself to get rid of all the Huntmasters but maybe trim down 1-2 of those and a Ghor-Clan to make room for Garruk.
Cavern Of Souls totally would work too. I updated the original list. Much thanks for the feedback so far.
Remember that article in Inquest like 17 years ago or something, where it mentioned that Fireball was the best limited card you could pull?
Witchstalker seem like cool additions to a deck no one other than me would ever have any intention of playing.
Here's what I got:
4 Young Wolf
4 Wandering Wolf
4 Immerwolf
4 Witchstalker
3 Huntermaster Of The Fells
2 Ghor-Clan Ravager
4 Rancor
4 Pillar Of Flame
4 Searing Spear
3 Garruk Relentless
Lands: 24
4 Stomping Ground
4 Rootbound Crag
4 Mutavault
7 Forest
5 Mountain
I mean, it's still nothing special as far as aggro decks go. But it's fun enough to play and no one else is doing wolves so why not....
Prey Upon is cool and all, but running 3-4 there's times where you have the Prey Upon but either don't have a creature or have a creature that isn't big enough to do fight anyone.
It's in the "new card" discussion cause it's intended to be Standard but I can't yet talk about it in the standard forum.
Mutavault and Scavenging Ooze are the bees knees in what's always been my favourite deck in standard, even if I have to force it.
Here's what I got.
4 Elvish Mystic
3 Arbor Elf
4 Dryad Militant
4 Strangleroot Geist
4 Scavenging Ooze
3 Predator Ooze
3 Yeva, Nature's Herald
3 Wolfir Silverheart
4 Rancor
3 Garruk Relentless
2 Prey Upon
Lands: 23
19 Forest
4 Mutavault
4 Ranger's Guile
4 Witchstalker
3 Sundering Growth
2 Prey Upon
2 Savage Summoning
It's fast enough to win on turn 4 and to start being aggressive by turn 2 but I think it has a better mid and late game than a lot of other aggro decks. What with the bigger and more resilient creatures.
Anywho, what would ya'll suggest.
P.S: Yes, I know "you might as well splash (insert colour)". I'll make a G/x deck too sometime, but I wanna keep this mono green.
Does anyone know anything that I don't that would definitely rule those out?
That kinda seems like a cut and dry case here. I ain't trying to rag on anyone here but I can't really imagine how this would even be a fight. Like seriously, who seriously thinks the members of a Magic The Gathering internet forum are gonna stand a chance against an army of monsters?
It's kinda hard to build as the actual LD player, as if you're basing your whole deck's strategy on killing lands, you'll end up having to run like 30+ LD spells and may have a hard time finding room for stuff to actually finish the game. And if you don't consistently draw your LD and let them get too far ahead, the whole point of the deck just sort of gets thrown to crap and you end up with a crap ton of pretty unimpressive draws. And if you do draw your LD early and get it off, you just set the opponent up for a boring and joyless game that will probably just end up in scooping.
Although I'm not really one to complain about it and I think people should play whatever they want. Actual dedicated LD decks are kind of a turd in the punch bowl for everyone involved.
Aside from that, I totally don't mind the staple LD stuff like Strip Mine, Wasteland, Tectonic Edge and what not. It's annoying but I could live with occasionally getting one of those games where you got a lil mana screwed and your opponent got ahead and just completely boned you with a well timed Strip Mine. Still not as bad as consistent turn after turn land removal.
And I still love the whole "play a big threat and wipe out all lands" idea. It's more of just a big game winning play then it is a slow, grueling, suckfest that starts happening as early as turn 2.
So in short, dedicated LD decks are pretty lame all around. But using LD on the occasion to take advantage of a game state is all good in my book.

The main idea of the deck is to control the board and try to get off something that will just about end the game in 1 swing. Dropping or otherwise screwing their hand with an early Mind Twist, Mind Shatter, Mind Sludge or Head Games usually ends it and lets you play Skith and swing for game over the next 2-3 turns.
Another way is just being sure they have no removal or they're tapped out and bringing in a hastey Skith while you have out any of the cool equips and swinging in for 10+ infect when they have no way of stopping it.
Infernal Darkness is awesome in here and in a lot of matches sort of plays like a 1 sided Armageddon. It's another one of those "you probably got this if it resolves" kind of cards since it could totally shut them down while still letting you drop and swing with Skith and do other nasty stuff.
So yeah, the main idea of the deck is to play cheap and unsportsmanlike cards that leave the opponent feeling cheated and do an injustice to the spirit of EDH by ignoring the whole 40 life/21 General Damage thing.
I want to make it cooler though. I'd like to little by little, trim down some of the smaller infect creatures since more often than not Skith gets the job done himself but I'm not sure what I should put in. What are some good all around black cards that can just really screw the opponent? Is there any great removal/discard that I forgot? I'm sure there is.
Anywho, any help would be dandy! Much thanks in advanced.
That aside, I'm really hoping they make these slivers cool. It just seems like ever since Affinity, Wizards has been really scared to print any decent new archetype or tribe within a set. I understand they don't wanna print something stupid, that will just degenerate the game and take over the format. But it'd be cool if we could even get something on like a "Kithkin" level. Where it's strong, it shows up in tournies, there's a few different and viable ways you can play it, but it's not so stupid strong that it just takes the fun out of the game and you hate to see it.
I'd LOVE to Slivers at that level. Wizards been printing these interesting seeming mechanics and tribes like Metalcraft, Werewolves, and Vampires and the like that (from a Standard perspective) just never seem to get quite enough cool cards to make them anything more than a higher end casual deck. Here's to hoping for a few more cheap Slivers with cool effects!
I dig that with Blood you can kill an opps creature and still have the guy you killed it with there to attack for awhile. And you can pull off 2 Bloods on the same bigass creature. I guess it depends on what you're doing with it, I'm sure there's times when the instant speed would be cooler like if you just wanna throw it in response to removal. But Blood just seems so much more versatile.
And I mean, it's not like Flesh is entirely useless. It's not great but at least it's there, ya know.
