I've just completed my sophomore year of college and I'm moving home for the summer. Living in Massachusetts and going to school in Maryland means that I have quite the drive ahead of me, so to entertain myself (and possibly others), I thought I'd do an Ask Me Anything thread.
Honestly anything is open to ask about, whether it be MtG-related or not. Let's just keep it (mostly) appropriate.

I'm hardly experienced enough in Modern to accurately answer that question. Personally? I like Grixis Delver, but that's likely because I'm not fond of going infinite. I've also never faced a competent player piloting Grixis Twin.

Sorry guys, fell asleep in the car.
@VampireArmy -- For 60-card I print out a template I designed on cardstock and use duct tape to assemble it. For EDH I made a duct tape box fortified with cardboard. This box has a flip top with a slot in the front so I can insert a card to represent the deck (only art is visible). There's also a side pocket to store the commander if you keep it in a slightly larger sleeve like I do. (Keep the extra normal one in case of tucks).
@ lemmingllama -- Oh baby, don't hurt me.
@ Spootyone -- Johns Hopkins, what part of MD do you live in? Know of any good stores out near Towson? I know of Canton Games but never had time to journey over there.

My gf and I are going to Salem for a few days, any shops worth seeing while we're there?

@ Gspot -- Shops being magic shops or touristy shops? I live a little over an hour from Salem and haven't been over that way in years. All the magic shops I go to are the opposite direction.

Ahh yeah, everything I know of is at least an hour from there if you care for a long drive.

Would you rather fight 1 Horse sized Duck, or 100 Duck sized Horses?

I mean, neither... If I had to answer I'd probably have to say 100 duck-sized horses, The Doctor. The horse-sized duck could just fly and dive down on me and have it be over.

No.
Don't follow international news as much as I'd like.
Zendikar
I generally have a very neutral smell.
Yes.
If you mean seen you around T/O, yes.
No.
Not sure. I want the blue one to be easily playable, though.

@ DERPLINGSUPREME -- Haha don't take it personally!
@ Runlue -- Modern and EDH. I play some form of control in both; Blue Moon and UTron in Modern and Nekusar in EDH. My friends say I just like dick'ish decks, which I won't confirm nor deny.

@ Runlue: My namesake.
This particular box is a few years old, and the tape is starting to peel away. This is the box for my Nekusar EDH deck. You can see the side pocket, separated by a piece of plain ole' cardboard, where Nekusar himself lives. The swamp in the front slot is from Shards of Alara.
