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.

which do you think is better at the moment. grixis delver or grixis twin

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.

Where do you go to school at in MD? I live in MD haha.

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?

May 14, 2015 2:40 p.m.

@ 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.

Magic shops, and that's unfortunate.

May 14, 2015 3:02 p.m.

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?

May 14, 2015 4:16 p.m.

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.

what do you think about the ISIS threat?

If you could travel to any plane in MTG (and not die there) what would it be?

May 14, 2015 6:48 p.m.

May 14, 2015 6:52 p.m.

To which one?

Favorite format? And favorite archetype in said format?

May 14, 2015 6:53 p.m.

1 and 7

mostly 1.

May 14, 2015 6:54 p.m.

@ 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.

Open view of duct tape EDH deck box

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.
