@6tennis you can crash at my place, but in all honesty thats probably a bad idea for you. lol.
@NoPantsParade if you play EDH we could meet up and play some.
@GoldGhost012 all my reletives but 1 family, ironically, live in random places in the country. texas, iowa, NY, you name it.

Derp, what are some ways that you know to abuse phage, other than Torpor Orb and Sundial of the Infinite? I know my friend has more ways than those, I just can't remember them all haha.

Endless Whispers, giving token copies of her, some1 reanimating something while phage is in the grave and exiling everything else in response.

My store sometimes puts me in bagging duty, and today is one of those days. We're supposed to put carts back into the cart corral thingy, but since the store and parking lot are empty, there isn't much to do. I've been riding a shopping cart down a large hill for about an hour now. The only way this could be better is if weren't 90 degrees and sunny outside.

And Derp, I'm not planning on bringing my Magic cards with me so that's a no go. Maybe on Untap once I get around to learning how to use it.

DERPLINGSUPREME says... #12
@NoPantsParade meh. I've resolved not to use untap. it isnt...organic, I think is the word.
June 15, 2015 5:14 p.m.
It's a rather bad interface with a shitty shuffler. Also, a lot of people on there are annoying but I think that goes without saying for just about every online MtG simulator.

I have an account on there, but I've never really used it. I guess that's a good thing, maybe...?

I think Cockatrice has the best interface, but the community is absolute shit when it comes to modern and EDH.
June 15, 2015 5:49 p.m.
canterlotguardian says... #17
isn't Cockatrice a download-only thing anyways?

Untap's EDH community gets shitty if you play combo decks. And I do. X)
June 15, 2015 6:44 p.m.
Also, online EDH is horrid. You can't communicate triggers or the ordering of the stack as easily and so it can become a huge problem for a lot of people. Additionally, people aren't patient online. Your friends are always willing to learn and be corrected - on any simulator, you will have a plethora of people insisting that their argument is correct no matter what.

Surprisingly I haven't had any problems with that. The people I come across are just a bunch of dicks when something doesn't go their way, like killing their commander.
June 15, 2015 8:09 p.m.
I tried playing Zedruu online and it's just never happening again. People have literally no idea how the stack works with activated/triggered abilities.

I'd play online edh only if we're also in Skype. I'd rather speak the write paragraphs about what is going on

NoPantsParade says... #25
I play a Kruphix deck that's just filled with stupid stuff I like. No one likes Hive Mind or Eye of the Storm with Ravages of War these days. I get kicked a lot when either sticks.
June 15, 2015 8:16 p.m.
NoPantsParade says... #26
How does that go, Vamp? How does EDH Skype even work?

Epochalyptik says... #27
I've done it before. It's not hard. All you have to do is point your webcam down.
Also, vocally announcing your plays is key.

VampireArmy says... #28
One of two ways:
Use untap/cockatrice to play and use Skype only to take
Or
Rig your camera to view your field. Requires dual screen
June 15, 2015 8:21 p.m.
I'm down for some EDH over Skype right now. I'm missing a few Unglued basics from the Zedruu deck but everything else is there if three other people are cool with it.

@VampireArmy, I found that problem this morning. Working on a fix asap since I have some idea of what the problem is. Gotta grab code from my partner in crime.

Didgeridooda says... #33
I do not have trouble with all that actually. I am pretty careful of who I play with these days. Just don't have time for people who take the fun out of the game.
I like untap's open table feel. I have not tried trice though. I don't like having to download stuff.
June 15, 2015 8:39 p.m.
So today I went on a date, which by the way VA your suggestion was awesome thank you, and then I came home with a job.
June 15, 2015 8:42 p.m.
I prefer French Commander, but that's just because my deck is more suited to it. Also because people are stupid on Untap/Cockatrice. (I play Ob Nix Amulet. Yeah, I'm a prick.)

In honor of your Birthday, you've won a mint foil Tarmogoyf! Imaginary that is! :)

It was packaged in a cloud of imagination silly!

@Magicrafter for your birthday, I give you all the dissapointment I have from not getting a foil tarmogoyf on my birthday!
June 16, 2015 12:48 a.m.
So what are you peeps up to. I'm playing against a guy playing storm on untap so im kinda bored.

Ugh, I got abused by someone playing UR Nivix Cyclops combo for being uninteractive whilst playing Affinity.

I'm celebrating NoviceMagician's birthday by eating a muffin.

Morning, plebs.
What motivates you to succeed?
Or, if you're unmotivated and unsuccessful, why don't you git gud?
xzzane says... #1
He uses Sundial of the Infinite in response to phage's trigger. And then killed us over the next few turns after giving it hexproof and unblockable.
