Living end s/b
General forum
Posted on July 26, 2010, 11:40 p.m. by omgyoav
So people who did this bothered me so I feel like a huge hypocrite for doing this. My deck Living End is hopefully going to lead to tournament glory, most likely not. What I really need help on is the sideboard. I currently have a 13 card s/b and a 6 card maybe board, each having its own advantages/disadvantages, of which i will put 2 in. What I want advice on is if my current plan seems correct for the current metagame. Also what have you guys seen being played often in this new extended? Sorry for this long post but any sort of useful information is appreciated.

Hello Tapped Out! Whats is your favorite beverage to be sipping when playing a game of magic? If it's tied, list them! For me its Monster, Ginger Ale, MTN Dew, and coffee!

Do people in the us like drink monster casually? Seriously curious about this.
July 10, 2014 7:12 p.m.
unfortunately, yes....... It's kinda gross.....
I personally am down with water, coke, and a good beer.
July 10, 2014 7:14 p.m.
Few people do. Most people I know won't touch energy drinks. There's a horrific amount of sugar and caffeine in them, even for an American like myself.
Anyways, I like Blue Moon the best.

ChiefBell I do, in a way. Most people I know will drink it just to drink it, some drink it just for the energy part of it though. Although I mainly drink Monster Rehab, which is low calories, low sugar, and nice flavors.

A good gulp of water every now and then during matches. Then back to shuffling my hand anxiously.

Lipton Lemon Iced Tea.
The cool blast of refreshing lemons and natural tea as it hits your lips is like heaven in a deck box.
Lipton Lemon Iced Tea. Drink up.
July 10, 2014 7:21 p.m.
I nice mix between coffee, iced coffee, and my favorite, the second glass of iced coffee.
July 10, 2014 7:26 p.m.
I always bring a bottle of water with me when going to events. Other than that, recently my playgroup is hanging out at this new cafe. so it's coffee or tea for me.

@ChiefBell: I've never heard of another person just drinking Jaeger straight. I thought I was the only one...

Dr. pepper, Mountain Dew, or some good ole water will do for me

Water. Water water water. Sugar makes it more difficult for me to make those decisions I really have to think carefully about, especially when I'm playing a control deck.
July 10, 2014 7:30 p.m.
I've been known to drink Jaeger straight. Although lately I tend to prefer a good whiskey.

I sometimes mix Jaegermeister with Baerenjaeger, which is effectively alcoholic honey. Feels good.
July 10, 2014 7:37 p.m.
Haven't tried that. I'll have to look into it. I usually drink it straight, or occasionally mix with Dr Pepper which is actually pretty good. Although I've (fairly) recently discovered Jameson and Root Beer, which is absolutely delicious.

In no particular order... A good wheat ale, dr pepper, White Russian, cold water or red bull.
Although, the crash from red bull is a big contributor to my semi finals and quarterfinal losses in larger events.
A couple good cold beers every hour or so keeps me in that "zone" where you are good at everything for no reason. But then I need a ride home afterwards.
Dr pepper is awesome, but then I have to pee every 12 minutes after finishing one.
White Russians are swanky and amazing, but not too many places allow the consuming of them on their premesis. Which sucks, because the difference between drinking one out of a cocktail glass and a corner store cup is about the same as a nice classy wine and one that comes in a box.
July 10, 2014 7:42 p.m.
I drink the blood of those that I have defeated in rounds previous!
I mainly just drink water...
July 10, 2014 7:42 p.m.
@Epochalyptik: I drink Jager straight on occasion, I really would like to try the new flavor that came out recently. I also would really like to try Crown Royal's new flavor XO i think it is...it is crown finished in a cognac cask, sound amazing. But for MTG, I always prefer AMP or sprite...depending on how late it is, and how much sleep I have had. Haha

I don't drink during card games. The risk is too damn high.

Scotch. Probably Macallan x year.
What?
I usually have a flask on me when I play.
At long events, I do have lots of water with me though.
I only resort to energy drinks if I have missed enough sleep to make up for the hyperactivity, my whole game goes out the window after even a small Red Bull otherwise.

Rum is great, but I have spent too many nights in the county's drunk tank to say that I am a civilized gentleman while drinking it...
I pretty much get riled up, begin thinking I am a pirate and/or a racially oppressed black guy and effectively trash whatever establishment I am in. I cause such a ruckus that I have been banned from drinking rum for life among friends.
The last time I drank rum was 2007, in Germany. Got into a fight with some dude over the funniness of circus clowns, started a massive brawl in the streets between the polezei and about 22 American G.I.s. Peed on stuff. Convinced a friend that his new girlfriend was a transvestite. Got kicked out of three European strip clubs and haggled a taxi driver over the fare to Frankfurt.
Let's just say, I was on the naughty list that year for Christmas. My liver has also never forgiven me.

Nothing, when I play magic food and drink are to risky to have around peices of cardboard that are begging to be soaked

When I'm playing online, OJ keeps me going. When I'm playing in person, I starve. I lose more in person.
July 10, 2014 8:02 p.m.
I always double sleeve. That way I don't have to worry about spilling. Playing with a nice beverage is much more enjoyable.

At home or the occasional midnight release, Bud Lite. Any other time just a bottle of Dr Pepper or water.
July 10, 2014 8:05 p.m.
The tears of my crying, defeated enemies; or their blood if parched.
July 10, 2014 8:13 p.m.
ThatBlueMage LOL that's a good pitch
Beer. I like to drink a nice cold beer when I goto battle.
I'm not to picky, but I usually buy Kokanee or Miller. Always good.

I enjoy drinking my own blood! And sometimes the blood of others :)

Either an Iced Coffee, a latte, a coke or cold water. Any of the above are fine, though Iced Coffee is my preference since FNM is cramped and sometimes warm-ish. God...I can't wait till they change locations in september. Lol.

Epochalyptik says... #42
Funny you should mention that. The first row of my bar is Jaeger, a special bottle, and Jaeger spice.
That special bottle is a blanco tequila I filtered several times. Through ghost peppers. It no longer looks like a blanco, but it tastes damn good.
July 10, 2014 8:49 p.m.
At the LGS: Normally I try to avoid drinking so that I don't need too many bathroom breaks.
A normal night at the kitchen table: usually not too much, maybe a beer, maybe a little captain or jack in my soda - it varies by how long I will be playing and if I have to drive home or not or whatever else
New Year's Eve: I made special jello.

So from reading this thread noticed that at least three people are vampires O.o
gnarlicide LOL
In reply to the post I don't drink anything during card games like some mention out of paranoia even though my decks are double sleeved. XP

between this and the website update thread, I'm really wondering if there isn't some vampire cult that plays Magic xD lol

I don't always drink while playing MTG. But when I do, I prefer Dos Equis.
Stay thirsty, my friends.
Then again, I'm not friends with vampires.

Just kidding, please don't kill me, vampiric members of this thread.

I usually drink that fucked up off-color Mountain Dew that makes your teeth tingle and your dick sting.
I sleep in like 15-hours spurts 4 or 5 times a week so there are often times when I'm awake for like 40 hours and need that disgusting, shameful energy boost.
