Well I woke up after passing out from sheer exhaustion last night to people still freaking out about how Day's Undoing is going to get banned. If people would calm down and let Blue have something fun for once I'd be okay, but I have a feeling this is Dig Through Time 2.0

Well, there is only two decks that would benefits greatly from it: U/R burn and Affinity. Control can take it as a nice turn five too, but really dangerous for them to use... Unless you've got some Silence ready to go.

Burn players that actually have good tastes? Well, U/R delver. xP

Wait, Day's Undoing is getting banned?
BAHAHA, THAT'S HILARIOUS.
It's also not something I care about. So, yeah.
Magicrafter I am but a poor 8th grader, so no Seizes. I have a playset of MotF, I'll see what you have to offer.

6tennis no it isn't getting banned. There are just people already demanding that it gets banned. And speculating it will be banned. And generally causing an uproar because OMGZ BLUE IS TOOOOO GUD!

Day's Undoing isn't that great, imo. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Timetwister was only good because you could use it to combo off. The only way to do that with Day's Undoing is to go out of your way to give your stuff flash, so it isn't that great. Also, it's worth noting that Timetwister is the least played of the power 9. It also gives your opponent(s) a fresh hand.

In Burn, possibly Control, Scape looks fun, but yeah.
July 6, 2015 8:02 p.m.
Didgeridooda says... #13
There has always been talk of taking Timetwister out of the p9, and putting Time Vault in.
Vault takes other things for an effect which may be why it is not considered the p9.

So I just booted up Dark Souls 2 and promptly had my ass handed to me. In other news I sorta want November to arrive.

Someone say Dark Souls and getting your ass handed to you? Yeah, that happens a lot. XD
Why November?

Anyone know any good trading binder brands? Looking to buy one to store all my sideboard staples for when I'm on the go.

I just use binders I can buy at target, with ultra pro side loading sleeves. Works well so far.

~face punch of shame~
Of course, how could I have forgotten!? XD
No but seriously, I am also looking forward to it. By the time I have my new PC, it'll only be a month after its release (I hope), so I'll definitely be partaking in its awesomeness.
July 7, 2015 2:15 a.m.
Never played XCOM but always heard good things about it. Just checked out the XCOM 2 E3 gameplay trailer and wow, it looks awesome. Definitely gonna be picking that up in november.

CanadianShinobi says... #24
kyuuri117 it is definitely one of my favourite games. Especially with the mod I use.
July 7, 2015 12:08 p.m.
Kinda reminds me of the squad based Company of Heroes. Sorta. Is there a version of XCOM I could pick up now for the pc? I know they did a revamp for the console's a few years ago I think.
July 7, 2015 4:07 p.m.
CanadianShinobi says... #27
Here ya go kyuuri117 sadly the Steam Summer sale is over now. It was 80% off at one time.
July 7, 2015 6:06 p.m.
quesobueno123 says... #28
And star wars battlefront is in november. Lots of stuff to play. Plus my birthday's in november, so I'll actually be able to afford all the shinny new games.

I just spent 2 hours setting up my badminton net for the summer. Then it collapsed. So pissed right now.
July 7, 2015 7:30 p.m.
NoPantsParade says... #31
That sucks. How did it collapse? Did it decide "fuck it I'm falling down"?
July 7, 2015 7:31 p.m.
ABadMagicPlayer100 says... #32
Yeah. It was standing up great, and I put away my mallet and stuff and came back and it was on the ground.
July 7, 2015 7:37 p.m.
Badminton is one of the very few games I can actually play well. Unfortunately it's a very uncommon thing to play where I live. Sorry to hear about it collapsing as well; that must be very frustrating.
July 7, 2015 7:37 p.m.
ABadMagicPlayer100 says... #34
That's very much the same case for me. It isn't commonly played, but I'm pretty darn good at it.

On the subject of videya games, I've preordered halo 5 and fallout 4. Now I'm debating if i should also spend a ton of money buying dying light, elder scrolls online and witcher 3 and be broke for the next 4 months meaning no mtg spending at all till like October
July 7, 2015 7:57 p.m.
CanadianShinobi Yea I completely forgot about the steam summer sale when it was going on. Two days after it ended, I realized I wanted to re-buy Skyrim since it was 80% off... but nope. Oh well.
VampireArmy Maybe I can help. I would definitely, definitely recommend getting Dying Light. It was really damn good, and feels great to play. The one thing I have to say though is play it single player. While it's a lot of fun to play with people you know, it's way too easy that way, and you don't really get to experience the whole "alone in a zombie apocalypse" thing if you're galavanting around with three other people.
Don't get ESO. It's not worth it. There are so many issues with it from it being dead to there not being an actual way to chat with people on the console versions.
Witcher 3 looks absolutely beautiful on the computer, and it's fun. I haven't been able to play it this last month but i've put in like 15 hours to it and it's definitely a lot of fun. Saw my friend playing it on the console and it looks pretty good there too. Depending on what your PC can handle, you might want to get it on the xbone or ps4.
As far as Halo 5 and Fallout 4... I would cancel those preorders, whether or not you plan on buying the games. I know Bethesda is well known for putting out great games, but I wasn't impressed with 343. And regardless, it's always possible the game's flop and you regret preordering them.
Don't get me wrong, I loved the halo series, played the shit out of combat evolved, two and three. I just kinda feel it's gone the way of Call of Duty. Series shoulda died years ago.
Sorry for the long post. TL;DR, I'd rather spend money on Dying Light or Witcher 3 over another halo game any day of the week. And Dying Light's on sale on Amazon if you have amazon prime, $40.
Lastly, consider Bloodborne if you have a ps4. Also on sale on amazon prime for $40.

CanadianShinobi says... #37
From what I've seen of Bloodborne it's very meh in my opinion. Mosty because I prefer the the fantasy setting of the Souls games. I mean the story is top notch as always with Fromsoft, but I dunno, Bloodborne while objectively good, never struck the right cord with me.

My laptop hard drive just went dead literally for no reason. Good to know about elder scrolls though. I actually enjoyed halo reach the most out of all the games so far and I've just bought halo 4 and so far it hasn't disappointed too much. The COD aspects are defiantly annoying with the whole purchasing weapons and what not but honestly the game play feels a lot closer to the original games to me. Im so glad they got rid of the health pack system though. I never liked that.
As for fallout i must disagree it's looking pretty astounding to me graphic wise. Can't say much about the gameplay obviously since not much has been seen yet but if it's any better than new Vegas (which was an utter insult to the area i grew up in mind you) than im on board.
You've certainly narrowed down my list though so i thank you for that

The combat in blood borne just flowed better. It was faster paced, and you couldn't just run around in circles around the boss smacking it while avoiding getting hit. It felt less exploitable. I never did any pvp in it though so I can't speak to that, but the actual game felt very rewarding, and the story was great.
And yea, I haven't really seen anything of Fallout 4. I did like three, but I never thought it was like, the height of gaming, like a lot of other people consider the series.
July 7, 2015 9:11 p.m.
VampireArmy says... #40
The one problem i have with bloodborne is that it's related to dark souls which is likely literally the most irritating games I've ever attempted to play

(cough cough) you should totally go to my page LiveForChaos (cough cough)
July 7, 2015 9:16 p.m.
If you didn't like the souls games, then don't get bloodborne. It's very similar. A bit simpler since you can't upgrade the weapons, but it's faster paced. Bit less content too, but it's just as challenging.

I'm about the beat my head off my desk. I am out of creative power! I want to build I sultai themed commander deck though.

I played a video game 5 days ago. That was the first time in 4 months. XD
July 7, 2015 9:42 p.m.
I love the Souls games, but haven't had the chance to play Bloodborne because I'm stuck on last-gen at the moment ;(
A question though: Which is truly better, Xbone or PS4?

Workin' on making my first AMV-ish video, whooo. Wish that good video making software wasn't so expensive though so I'm not stuck with dumb old Windows Movie Maker. Which works, it's just... dumb.

JDMCRIB I'm also enjoying my ps4. It really comes down to what exclusives you want to play most. I want Uncharted, Sly cooper, infamous, and so much more over Halo.
