Missy Stone(porno star) I can't resist that ass or those eyes, shes got me from every angle. michelle yeoh and bai ling, I love those mature chinese girls, and guys, and black girls...and guys. and finally off the top of my head the black chick from "Bones", the one that plays "Dr Saroyan".
Bakgat what country do you live in? You said the Swedes did alot of missionary work there. There are plenty of reasons people are not excited about Christianity because Christianity has been used to justify alot of brutal acts. Slavery of Africans and others in the Americas was justified because many of the important people in the bible kept slaves. Genocide of the Native Americas was justified because they were pagan. Witch hunts were justified becuase the bible says in Exodus 22:18 "though shalt not suffer a witch to live". The poor treatment of the Catholic Irish by the Protestant English culminating in the complete lack of relief attempts during the by the English during the Irish potato famine was also religiously motivated.
You say Scandinavia has many blessings, but are these from human cooperation or diving intervention? I believe from cooperation.
A big issue for me is that IP is in opposition to the free market. For example if one company can make a medicine for half the price another company can shouldn't the people be free to choose which to buy? How are copy rights not a monopoly?
For the arts, how many authors wouldn quit writing if they thought they would never get paid for writing? How many people would give up the guitar?
What if I feel this music is politically relevant but the creator insists that I pay them if I'm going to distribute it. Does my free speech not extend to repeating the words of others?
That's like saying you can grab a wad of cash from a bank tellar and shout, "I'm not stealing! If you think about it, this money is just protons and electrons, the same as air!" You don't get to deconstruct a product into whatever definition you find most convenient. The entire point of intellectual property is that it exists independently of the medium. A "song" isn't a sequence of ones and zeros any more than it's a pattern of bumps etched into plastic, or a series of vibrations traveling through the air.
[QUOTE]
The difference between downloading a song and stealing from a register is that when you download a song, nobody else suddenly doesn't have that song anymore.
[QUOTE=Kraj;/comments/11060125]I don't see the harm here. It's not as if free avenues for the arts don't exist. The music industry, Hollywood, etc., are producing luxury entertainment. You don't have a Constitutional, moral, or human right to be entertained. If you don't like what's available and you don't want to pay for what you want, then too bad.
[QUOTE]
"then too bad" a brilliant rhetorical device, you've convinced me. The issue is that these corporations have a monopoly on our public airwaves.
This is essentially subsidizing these corporations' products. People have a right to say how the commons should be used.
[QUOTE=Kraj;/comments/11060125]...So, the government should tax everyone to pay for medical research instead of the people directly benefiting from that research paying for it? I don't see how this solves anything. Especially when this is basically what health insurance companies do.
[QUOTE]
So instead of everyone paying for the police, the people who's houses get broken into should have to pay because they are the ones directly benefitting from the police.
[QUOTE=Kraj;/comments/11060125]And frankly I shudder at the idea of a government agency deciding what medical research is and isn't worthy of investing in.
You would rather have some greedy CEO deciding for you. At least with a public official deciding this the people can choose not to reelect this person if they don't like the decisions they have made. If a CEO decides finding a cure for the disease you have isn't worth it then, in your words "too bad".
Someone had to spend money and drive into a lot of dead ends in order to produce a new cure or drug. How do you propose they make that money back?
Simple, Governments can (and do) fund medical research. Which guy is easier to trust, the guy researching a cure for something because he wants to benefit other people or the guy researching something because he wants to benefit himself?
I was reading over the thread about the arrests of MegaUpload employees, who were clearly breaking the spirit of copyright laws, if not breaking these laws by the letter, but also probably breaking the law by the letter. My question to you is do you think that these are just laws? I personally don't and I'll give you a few examples why.
1. Patented Medicines
A patient is prescribed a medicine, but because a company has patented this medicine they can charge as much as they want for this medicine, basically, you drew the poor straw in life? Get ****ed in the ass, punk, and die. This is a major problem for people trying to get things like affordable anti-retrovirus drug for the treatment AIDs in less affluent countries.
Result: Alot of people die so a few people can drive Maseratis.
2. Copyrighted Music
A digital song file is at it's most basic a long sequence of zeros and ones, if I email my best friend an MP3 of Justin Bieber's latest hot single I may be arrested, jailed and/or fined for sending my friend an email of 11010...011. If I go to the corner of a busy intersection and start saying this same sequence of numbers this is free speech and protected. This means my options for listening to different interesting music are cough up the cash money to Apple through iTunes or listening to the same corporate product over and over on the public radio waves.
Result: Poor people have two choices, listen to Justin Bieber on the radio or drive in silence. Experiencing other cultures through music is immoral unless someones getting paid, fools.
In conclusion, these laws force much of the lower classes to suck the corporate ***** or suck no ***** at all. Or for my dense readers, listen to the corporate music or don't listen to any music/buy the brand name medicine or die if you can't afford it. These laws produce dynamics very similar to the dynamics of a monopoly, the consumer/patient/human being is left with very few choices.
Anybody think Tooth and Nails reign of terror is coming to an end in light of yet another color combination having an instant win Tooth and Nail combo, B/G now Can Tooth and Nail into Black Mikaus and Triskelion for infinite damage.
First this primer is dealing with a control build of Slobad, Goblin Tinkerer not a combo build. Second I have not included “Auto-Win” cards like Insurrection and Ruination because I don’t find them interesting. Also my play group doesn’t use fast mana so Sol Ring, Mana Vault, Mana Crypt and Grim Monolith are not in the deck. Also I'm aware most of the cards aren't tagged.
How do I know if Slobad Mr. Right or just Mr Aight?
Pros
1. He gives Mono Red some serious resilience to mild artifact hate and things like Austere Command and Terastadon are no longer game over cards.
2. He is only 2 mana therefore you will be able to play him early and play him often.
3. His Goblin creature type is great for picking up free bonuses in a Goblin tribal heavy metagame.
4. At a ½ size he isn’t immediately threatening to your opponents so he will tend not to draw immediate hate towards you or him.
2. At a ½ size you won’t be getting many general damage kills with Slobad.
3. Your opponents may call you a bastard because they can’t blow up your stuff.
Who you is?
Who am I? I’m right behind you! Actually, I’m probably not. For the purpose of this primer all you need to know about me is that I played from Masques to Darksteel then I started again at Scars of Mirrodin and I have played continously since then.
why did I pick these cards?(no explanation’s for “staples” included[they are popular because they are universally considered strong])
Artifacts
Since Slobad Interacts with artifacts lets start that off here. There are some pretty standard mana artifacts, some of the less commonly played ones I’m running are Armirillary Sphere, to hit land drops. Currently testing out Druidic Satchel as additional ramp/life gain/occasional tokens. There are some of the standard mana doublers, there is no Extraplanar Lens mostly because I haven’t found room for it yet and I think it’s the weakest of the bunch.
For some card drew I’m testing out Kyren Archive, which is strong if played early but not so strong if you hit it late. I’m also using Farsight Mask which has so far been strong because it either draws you a bunch of cards or prevents a bunch of damage you would have otherwise taken.
I’m testing out Salvaging Station currently, it can help you ramp with Wayfarer’s Bauble, find you non-basics with Expidition Map, draw you cards with any of the other Baubles and repeatedly exile graveyards with Tormod’s Crypt.
Prototype Portal has been a champ so far, imprinting almost any artifact in the deck on it is very solid, Imprint a Gauntlet or Caged Sun and you are rolling in mana, imprint a bauble and you have a free or one mana per turn draw engine, impring one of the equipment and you will have armor for all your guys, imprint Farsight mask or Mind’s Eye and you draw tons of cards, imprint a mana stone and it starts paying for itself almost immediately.
Lands/Expedition Map
I inlcuded Expedition Map to access the deck’s land “toolbox” getting anything from Maze of Ith for protection, Miren for life gain, Keldon Necropolis for the last few points of damage, Mishra’s Workshop for ramp, Kher Keep for blockers, Dust Bowl for destroying opposing utility lands, Vesuva for copying opposing utility lands(copying Cabal Coffers can be quite tech if an opponent also has Urborg in play), Buried Ruin for artifact recursion(like duh), an artifact land to imprint to Prototype Portal, Terrain Generator for slower ramp(the generator may come out soon), Thawing Glaciers for assured land drops, and finally Spinerock Knoll for a little card draw/selection.
Creatures
The deck is relatively creature lite, but each creature is pretty formiddable on it’s on. The more unorthodox ones are Diaochan, Artful Beauty who with the help of a temporary ally can destroy a massive amount of problematic creatures, and when combine with Lightning Greaves or Darksteel Plate is invulnerable to her own effect. Note that Swiftfoot Boots does not protect her from her own ability because hexproof only protects a creature from abilities controlled by other players because you control her ability even though your opponent chooses one of the creatures to destroy.
For beats Hellkite Igniter is a huge champ in this deck, late game it can one shot people. Kazuul is also a champ preventing damage to you or tapping down your opponents land or making you free dudes. Also Dragonmaster Outcast is very solid with a little protection because it is a very inexpensive investment and it’s damage grows arithmetically(points if you know what arithmetic growth is).
The Platinum Emperion is also solid at keeping you alive, I chose not to run platinum angel because your opponent can just keep killing you then wait for a way to remove it and you lose whereas the Emperion must be removed before any progress can be made towards killing you.
Spells
The spell portion of this deck is relative small at 14 cards. There are some sweeper, All is Dust, Comet Storm, Blasphemous Act, Chain Reaction. There are a couple game restarters in Warp World which I may cut because I generally don’t have the most permanents, though the deck only has 14 spells so when warping about 8.5 out of 10 cards are hits. There is also Thieves’ Auction which is very strong, especially when played while in a weak position, though I have had many people simply scoop because they don’t want to deal with the headache of resolving this card(which really doesn’t take that long can easily be done in less than 5 minutes) and they also are worried about people stealing/accidentally taking there cards. The second problem can be resolved by keeping all the cards each player owns in their section of the playing surface and using dice or some other divider/marker to keep track of who controls what.
Word of Seizing is in here as a pseudo catch all and also good for when planeswalkers are about the ultimate. I’m still testing this card.
Enchantments
Vicious Shadows, or as I like to call it Viscous Shadows is a great win con, obviously good with sweepers and Wheel of Fortune.
Rage reflection may come out for a creature because I dontt have too many creatures whose rage would be reflected.
Card I’m not playing but am considering:
Staying Alive(you can tell by the way I use my walk...)
The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale
Forcefield
Shield of Kaldra
Lightning Bolt
Chaos Warp
Capricious Efreet
Duplicant
Brittle Effigy
Viashino Heretic
Shattering Pulse
Rimescale Dragon
Chandra Ablaze
Stranglehold
why/why not
Of the removal options Chaos Warp is probably first in line because it is the most versatile and provides a solution to problems like indestructible creatures and enchantments that are otherwise not easy to deal with. Also high on the list are Viashino Heretic and Shattering Pulse, because the deck is a little light on artifact removal. Duplicant/Brittle Effigy are also in consideration for their ability to permanently remove anything without shroud. Tabernacle and Forcefield are great for managing opposing creatures and, while monetarily expensive, not out of reach to me because I’m great at printing out cards off the interbutts. Forcefield is in serious consideration because it is really great at relieving unblocked creature pain. Tabernacle is also cool cause I can fetch it with map and it doesn’t hit me myself hard at all. Also considering Shield of Kaldra because on average a single one of my creatures can cause massive mayhem all by themselves.
Fetch(go get it boy)
Faithless Looting(upcoming in Dark Ascension)
Godo, Bandit Warlord
Imperial Recruiter
Eye of Ugin
Hoarding Dragon
Mycosynth Wellspring
Citaunal Flute
Maybe Mycosynth Wellspring to ensure I hit land drops? Imperial Recruiter can fetch three creatures currently Dragonmaster Outcast, Goblin Welder and Diaochan, and while each of these creatures serves a different purpose, I’m not sure if three is enough dudes to warrant including the Recruiter. Eye of Ugin could fetch Emperion, Battlesphere, Wurmcoil and Steel Hellkite, probably won’t make it in when Citaunal Flute is costs only a little more initially and quickly because the more efficient and versatile repeat tutor. Hoarding Dragon obviously could fetch one of the many artifacts in the deck(about 40 including artifact creatures and artifact lands) though i’m not convinced the 4/4 flying body is particularly relevant and I’ve had great artifacts under it permanently exiled after my opponent swordsed/pathed the dragon, especially since I only have miren to quick sac it. Godo may make it though as a beater he isn’t so intimidating and he is sort of an expensive tutor. Faithless Looting seems like it could be ok though I don’t really have a way to taking advantage of discarding cards other than goblin welder.
Congratulations, you made it to the end of the primer and you are now familiar with my douche bag opinions, use this knowledge carefully, because it is very powerful (probably at least a 3/1 or 4/1).
Rishana, to not to keep losing to these cards I just need to "change my deck" thanks for solving that one for me. Profound and subtle you are. Counter magic and grave hate are probably my best bets to answer these cards. Do you have any more specific advice?
There are a number of cards that alone pose a threat for all opponents in a 3-4 player EDH game, to name some Avenger of Zendikar, Army of the Dammed, Storm Herd, Rite of Replication. I personally don't care to use these cards because of the very simplified game dynamic they create, that is wrath the board or lose. The game turns from a game many factors to only 1, do the players facing down the army in a card have a wrath? Additionally 2 of these cards are very easy to recurr, one because it's a creature the other because it has flash back, so the game dynamic then becomes "if you don't have 2 wraths, you lose". EDH has the potential to be a game of interesting interactive back and forths, but these cards and the cards that let you search/recurr them make EDH a simple game of chance, who can land the one card army first and protect it for a couple turns, with all other strategies left irrelavant.
The above dynamic is just one manifestion of a larger phenomena of a single card being capable of winning a game if not answered immediately or quickly. Examples of these cards are include Tooth and Nail, Genesis Wave, Time Stretch and Insurrection.
A question now: How do you stay excited about EDH after losing to same 10 cards for the 10th, 20th, 50th time?
Lastly I personally think if we make enough noise about these degenerate cards Wizards will be less likely to print them in the future. RnD seem to be operating under the assumption that anything that costs more than 5 mana cannot be broken, completely ignoring the dynamics of slower formats like EDH.
1. What general would you guys pick for a token themed mono black deck?
Endrek Sahr is an obvious pick because he himself makes tokens. The only black sac outlet, Cabal Patriarch, is not particularly strong. I guess Ascendant Evincar is an option too because he does pump your dudes and will more often than not shrink your opponents' dudes. Anowon, the Ruin Sage and Kuon, Ogre Ascendant are possibilities as they play well with tokens. Xiahou Dun, the One-Eyed is also kind of generically strong.
2. What token producers might you run?
At the top of the list of strongest token makers there is Bitterblossom, Grave Titan, Endrek Sahr, Army of the Damned. The weaker options include Sengir Autocrat, Skeletal Vampire, Breeding Pit, Nuisance Engine.
You say Scandinavia has many blessings, but are these from human cooperation or diving intervention? I believe from cooperation.
