Came 1st this FNM. Haven't done that in a while.
Anyway, I prefer sporks over knives.

I spent ten hours yesterday playing Magic and Smash with my playgroup.
It was a good last day of school.

I get bored/lonely at two AM because of my sleep schedule: 3
Tibs: those days were literally the best in highschool. I remember having times like that where we would all go to the coolest teachers classroom and play tons of archenemy/5-6man free for all mtg. Followed by whatever else we had on hand for like 8straight hours.

Found a russian Harmonic Sliver yesterday. I was just looking for a little thing in the boxes at my shop.
I also got to play a bunch of EDH. My super janky only combos, and lots of them deck is just as bad as expected. Tried it 1v1, and it was kind of funny. Had pieces to like 8 combos, but 0 full combos.

It feels weird, I have been having to play my super budget decks to play against people. They all seem to have $400-500 dollar decks, but the only way I can match is to use my $100 or less ones.
I have had people tell me that You will Roon the day! is competitive, and over powered. Which to me is crazy since to me it is a budget casual deck.

Skill with a deck can sometimes matter more than budget. If i picked up epochs dominus deck and went 1v1 with your roon i would probably lose because my skill with combo-control is terrible where you know what you're doing with your deck
June 6, 2015 12:18 p.m.
Didgeridooda If you wanted to consider other ideas for your deck, this is my own Roon EDH deck

SCORE: 1 | 0 COMMENTS | 215 VIEWSAnd yea, i've gotten complaints about it too. People would much rather play against me using my esper combo money sink than this, while I feel this is much more fair.

The only card in the freaking list I don't own is Triumph of the Hordes. I can't buy it on TCG because it's less than a dollar and I can't find anyone who has it on a trade list. And no one wants to send a 60 point card on pucatrade, cuz the postage is more expensive. It's annoying.

I get those for a quarter I think. I am sure I could find those in the boxes here. I got one for my Yisan deck not that long ago.
June 6, 2015 12:31 p.m.
I guess. Even on TCG player, the foils are like, $1.50, but with like 3-4 dollars of shipping. Which, as someone who has shipped cards in envelopes, is total bullshit. 1-3 cards in a top loader in an envelope costs .49 cents for a stamp to go cross country. Anything else is profit for the seller.

VA, yeah, I know, but still.
Kyu, MOAR RAMMPS! I love a good gen wave for 12 on my opponent's turn. I have been looking to trade for another Tooth and nail for my deck, I am not spending any more money on it. Prob have $30-40 in it, and that is good for me. I think I am also going to trade for a Gilded Drake if I can. He is so good. I Acidic slime, or terastodon to keep control of the board as often as I can. I guess I try to find the most efficient way to build when I put myself on a budget. I do not shy away from land kill. It is important, and underused in EDH. I also really can not stand lands that come in tapped.
Our decks are very different though. Thanks for linking yours. It is always nice to look at a different take of the same thing.

Anyone here watch TOME?
I'm so confused. I thought Origins spoilers were this week, but apparently they're next week? Maybe? I dunno.

The question is: Will we see something playable for Modern?
The answer: probably not.

maybe. lili is pretty decent
also, if you have 2 they get funny.

I think this is a good chance to make a bang on the last coreset. I think they will do some cool stuff, and maybe get us at least one legacy playable card, and a couple modern ones.
If this Zendikar is anything like that last, there will be lots of power around. I look to origins to start that creep in that direction.
June 6, 2015 4:58 p.m. Edited.
kyuuri117, you can get it on Amazon for less than a buck.
June 6, 2015 5:03 p.m.
Even if there is nothing modern playable in the last core set, don't think anyone has any real right to complain. Khans block changed the modern meta not once, but twice now. First with cruise/dig/rhino, and now with atarka's/kolaghan's command.

Serum Visions and Path to Exile? I can easily see either one (but probably not both) being in Origins.
June 6, 2015 5:13 p.m.
ABadMagicPlayer100 says... #37
They are, but FNM promos are usually in a set that's in print at the time of their release, which is what leads me to believe they could appear in an upcoming set.
June 6, 2015 5:27 p.m.
Both need reprinting for sure. I'm more excited for path since I now need copies again and they're also hard to come by. LGSs tend to sell out of them pretty quick.

What does everyone think of grooming standards? Do you hold yourself to higher standards? Is it more attractive to do so? Is there a floor below which standards are too low? A ceiling above which they're too high?
My friends group goes all over the place on it. I know people who will not shower for days unless they're leaving the house (even then it's "optional"), and their couch smells like hell because they just lay there and play games or watch Netflix all day. By contrast, I know people who spend an hour to an hour and a half getting ready in the morning.
Sort of random, I guess, but it crossed my mind after seeing some of my college friends again. (Edit: I guess it is relevant given what the stereotypical FNM player is like...)

Shower and brush teeth every day at a minimum, would rather not smell horrible. In other words, my opinion of personal grooming is that general good hygiene is expected.

NoPantsParade says... #41
Personal hygiene like brushing teeth and showering daily is the minimum and what I expect. I shower two to three times and brush my teeth three to four times a day. Some find that excessive, which I admit it is, but whatever. I don't expect that same amount of others.
June 6, 2015 7:20 p.m.
ThisIsBullshit says... #42
Yeah, shower and brushing your teeth every day is a must, and how long I take to get ready depends on what I'm doing that day. If it's school or just hanging out at home, then it'll be like thirty seconds. If I'm going to a fancy party or whatever it's usually 20 minutes tops.
June 6, 2015 7:45 p.m.
I shower every other day (I don't excercise or do anything demanding, like, at ALL) and I brush my teeth twice a day, one in the morning, one at night. Pretty simple.
...... I might want to get into the habit of showering every day though...
June 6, 2015 7:50 p.m.
Gotta shower every day, brush the teeth twice a day, and since I have long hair I shampoo a few times a week. Always shower with soap or body wash. Shave what you need to shave. Use deoderant and never leave without using body spray of some sort of cologne/perfume. Don't wear dirty clothes. Simple stuff.

I just got pushed into making a mono-white commander deck because someone wanted a few junk rares I had in my trade binder.
Jazal Goldmane token deck here we come!
June 6, 2015 9:02 p.m.
There is a 450-500 pound guy who goes to my game shop who doesn't shower more than once a month. He smells like a rotting corpse, and makes you literally want to pass out.
The store owner is so profit oriented that he won't tell him to stop coming unless he cleans. It's horrible.

canterlotguardian says... #48
There's no excuse for that. I mean, I'm a big guy myself (about 320 pounds) but I recognize that big people get stinky more quickly than non-big people, and I take precautions to keep from becoming odorific. Generally I shower at least once a day, sometimes more, and I brush my teeth twice a day (once after breakfast, once after dinner). I hate it when I have to stop by the store after I just got done working out or working someplace, even if it's just to pick up an order and leave, because I don't want offensive body odor to get in between people.
Wow, it's amazing what you have time to type when you can't play Team Fortress 2 because the game kicks you from every server for having a ping in the lower 1000s every match you jump into.

Epochalyptik says... #49
This is my regimen:
- Shower daily (twice daily if it's a gym day)
- Shave (face daily, everything else as necessary)
- Brush twice daily
- Mouthwash twice daily
- Floss daily
- Deodorant after every shower
- Light cologne if I'm going out
- Nails if they're over 1mm longer than I wear them
I'll also spend some time with the tweezers and/or scissors if anything is out of place.
Most of the guys I know don't do half this much. Most of the girls do around this much. In college, I wouldn't even leave my room without showering. I won't ever leave my house without showering, either.
