Does my username appear in white and orange? Because it looks like the default colors on my screen.

Default here. Takes a bit to get it changed (time wise)

Yeah, you have to wait for the server to refresh. Took me like a half-hour for mine to show up.
May 23, 2015 4:37 p.m.
It can take up to 24 hours, or so I hear. Mine was pretty quick.

Alright, thanks guys. I thought maybe I did something wrong. Thanks again.

Does anyone have any tips for anger management? I'm pretty sure driving a pen through my hand or breaking a finger isn't the healthiest response to it, but it's what I've got right now.

Block out all noise, just ignore it. Think about all the things you love in life, and don't pay any attention to the thing that is upsetting you. Take as much time as you need to just think about what makes you happy, then when you're ready, try again at whatever was making you angry. Patience is the key to every battle.

Well, I'm the one making me angry, so I can't really ignore it. The really dumb shit I did last weekend, specifically.

You're brooding on it. Find distractions to keep your mind off of it. You're angry because it hurts.

ABadMagicPlayer100 says... #19
Realize that there's not any particularly good reasons to be angry about it. Embrace the fact that it already happened and you can't undo it. Listen to some good music, play some video games and/or Magic, anything that'll keep your mind off it.

Do something that takes your mind off of it, preferably something that makes you fall asleep afterwards. Sort of like an escape. I use my hypersexuality in this method.

Listen to this. This is what I'm doing right now, the anger will be transformed in sadness, and then it will fade away (eventually). Yeah, play magic with some people you like (maybe some of us?), it will definitively help you!
I'm so fucking downhearted tonight, too. But well, shit happens...

I have no idea what to build for my article series. All I know is I want something built by the end of tomorrow.

Tibs: you can email me about it any time you want.
Canadian: rakdos reanimator has been on my mind. Saw a video set a while ago and was impressed with the competitiveness and consistency

I too am in need of inspiration. I want to make a new EDH deck, but don't know where to start. I am in the process of working on getting the land base for a jund EDH deck, and I have a few directions to go there so not that.
Tried to make mono white once, and it turned into Teeg stax. Just at a loss for ideas. I am into making budget decks, and am only going to spend 10-20 bucks to make a new EDH deck, but will trade for things I need beyond that. Just seems like any idea that is different from stuff I have is something that includes Doubling Season, and I don't have that.

CanadianShinobi says... #28
VampireArmy Rakdos Reanimator? Do you have a link to the video? I'd like to see that. Especially since I am trying to brew without Blue for the first deck of the series.
Yeah. Me, without Blue. Just let that sink in.

FAMOUSWATERMELON says... #30
It's not sinking in XD
What format? Modern, I presume?
May 23, 2015 9:58 p.m.
VampireArmy says... #31
Its on channel fireball. Caleb D. Ran it. It basically uses discard and such to protect you then the basic plan of Grisselbrand or sketty monster for a win. Its a less all in version which proves to be better due to the added protection. I'll link it when i get home if you haven't found it by then
May 23, 2015 10:01 p.m.
CanadianShinobi says... #33
FAMOUSWATERMELON shhh it'll be okay. I'm still a Control player. It hurts me not to play Blue, but experimenting is fun too. And yes, Modern.
VampireArmy thanks. I'll go digging for it.
May 23, 2015 10:04 p.m.
FAMOUSWATERMELON says... #34
Alright, two things. First off, I have no idea what to play in the Modern league. Like, No. F***ing. Idea. And it's pissing me off.
And second off, it's so quiet around here right now. I'll let you guess why...
May 23, 2015 10:14 p.m.
If I were going to play competitively, I'd go Boros aggro or one of those absurd R/G infect decks that win turn 1 or 2.
Also, you've doomed us all.
May 23, 2015 10:17 p.m.
I'll probably play Jund.
I wish it was a jank leage though...
May 23, 2015 10:18 p.m.
FAMOUSWATERMELON says... #37
I don't like aggro. Control or combo is much more my area.
And doomed you...?

At my second job now. Feeling better. Still have to work until 0130.

Didg: after 3 months of being at my mom's house (my parents are divorced and I live with my dad) my younger sisters are finally back over here and they're busy trying to make it as painful as possible.

Scorprix You can play whatever you like in the League. I'm pretty sure it's not all top tier stuff.

FAMOUSWATERMELON what is? The goats? Man don't you know that goats only get worse with time?
May 23, 2015 10:52 p.m.
FAMOUSWATERMELON says... #44
42 > GOATS > EVERYTHING ELSE
No, the average tier. I think she said around 2. Not sure.

Camel and Desert need reprints so this deck can be modern-legal. Tier 1 powerhouse:

Tibbles, I am sorry to hear that. I wish I could help. I hope you are able to escape into some Magic. How long are they there for?

CanadianShinobi says... #48
FAMOUSWATERMELON I would rather see brews than top tier decks in the League. Hell, I'm planning on building something not top tier. It's about fun and not everyone cares for Afinity, Twin and whatever else is around these days.
May 23, 2015 11:16 p.m.
FAMOUSWATERMELON says... #49
Yeah, I agree. It makes me feel good piloting a bad deck XD

Femme_Fatale says... #50
Expect to find more T1 decks than last one. They're starting to accumulate. But there is a definite preference for T2 builds.
VampireArmy says... #1
Now the card thing is just something pleasant to talk about. In truth I'm very misreable at this time in life due to money reasons but why only talk about that? That would be a drag to your guys
