This is just basically Runlue assuming that you were attempting to "1-up" his negative experience with yours.

I just got a 77 cent raise at work for being competent at my job. Also have been having a blast with standard aristocrats.

My Dad just sent me an email saying "Why aren't you going to Standard State Championships! It's 5 min away!"
Too bad I play Legacy and EDH...

You play legacy, that means you have plenty of money to play standard. :P

I thought I suffered enough through Accounting I last quarter. Why did they give me Accounting II right away? Lol

Coinman1863, Does he play? or did he just like look up random Magic tournaments?
October 8, 2015 7:35 p.m.
"I just got a 77 cent raise at work for being competent at my job". This is probably my favourite quote. Ever.

TheNextRedDude, Before I was free, he bought some stuff for me on TCG player and got the email for the State Tourney 5 min from my house.
Also Ohthenoises, have you even seen my legacy deck? It's not indicative of having a lot of money...

Is anyone else getting the thopters when trying to get to the cards page?

hey, If anyone has fun with weird projects, it'd be nice if you made a game where you're a gate. Just a simple gate. That's it. Yeah.... A gate. That'd make me happy.

I just started really looking at Ob Nixilis Reignited. Look at the progression in his form as time goes on.
Ob Nixilis of the Black Oath
Ob Nixilis, the Fallen
Ob Nixilis, Unshackled
Ob Nixilis Reignited
When he goes from his human to his demon form, his armor becomes his chitinous plating as a demon. That holds true when he regains his wings. Now that his spark is back, his armor appears to be coming back, which seems to imply that he's going back to being human again.

I just found a NM Sylvan Library for under $20!
HYPE!

Ohthenoises says... #20
Coinman1863 That sounds like when I found a NM Sneak Attack for $30. Good job!
In commander news I just updated Feldon with Mr. You-Can't-Even and it feels great.

Halloween costume idea.
Sexy Jake from State Farm
Red bow-tie, cutoff kahki shorts, and a name tag that says Jake in sexy writing.

Look at the cool stuff I got for my new EDH deck!
Also that Beautius $15 NM Sylvan Library. :)

Also just realized how good Shattergang Brothers is in my Prossh, Skyraider of Kher EDH deck. That's the deck the above cards are for.

Just so you are aware that grim says nontoken if you are using it in Prossh...
October 9, 2015 6:04 p.m.
Coinman1863 says... #26
True, but I spent my 30 cents on it cause I need card draw when I have not completed the deck yet with all the tudors and such (Survival of the Fittest and it's Ilk).
But Thanks for telling me anyway. Probably would have left it in there if you didn't tell me...

Ohthenoises says... #27
Fair, I like things like Fecundity myself, it's really strong.
If you aren't running it Chancellor of the Forge is capable of killing out of nowhere.
October 9, 2015 6:23 p.m.
Coinman1863 says... #28
Ohthenoises True, I'm changing the precon so Fecundity is in. I like Chancellor A lot, will have to put that on my buy list.
Buy the way, there is the buy list if you want to make any more suggestions. The aim is to make a competitive (or close too) Prossh deck.
Anyone's advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
October 9, 2015 6:28 p.m.
trollslayer says... #29
Ok. Switch to oloro. All the competitiveness in an EDH deck you need.

I heard Food Chain was good. Wonder if Smothering Abomination is any good there?
October 9, 2015 7:05 p.m.
Ohthenoises says... #31
VampireArmy Eh, it's a yes and no situation. I'll be testing with it but I'm not sure I'll keep it.
October 9, 2015 7:08 p.m.
Coinman1863 says... #32
trollslayer that's my other good EDH deck :).
VampireArmy, Food Chain is good because it's actually an "infinite" combo with Prossh, just depends on how much Jund mana you got lying around. I also was looking at the Abomination but I feel like it could be a huge hit or miss when drawn. I feel like the sac a creature each turn is big drawback in a deck like Prossh where you want to use a creature for a specific purpose at any time, not to save for drawing a card at the beginning of your turn.
October 9, 2015 7:24 p.m.
VampireArmy says... #33
Seems great but relys on a board position. The enchantment is likely much better even if it draws other people cards.
October 9, 2015 7:24 p.m.
Coinman1863 says... #34
And Ohthenoises thanks for the deck link, I will most definitely take a look at that.
And I completely agree with you VA. As a side note Black Market is also Bonkers in Prossh/Karador/any deck with sac effects. You get all the mana.
October 9, 2015 7:30 p.m.
VampireArmy says... #35
I had a premade prossh deck. Disassembled it. I need to stop buying premade decks.
October 9, 2015 7:31 p.m.
Coinman1863 says... #36
Yeah, I was given the set of 5 precons from C13, so I have an extra Oloro deck without Deluge, cause come on! Who wouldn't take out your extra Deluge and use it somewhere else?
So yeah, I ripped all of the apart for playables. Immediately. I did the same to the Duel Decks Anthologies I got at the same time, because I really needed that Demonic Tutor.

Currently modiffying the bfz event deck into abzan rally aggro. Need parts badly
October 9, 2015 7:45 p.m.
Ohthenoises says... #38
I have a bunch of Dranas if you have some wingmate rocs VA.
Food Chain makes mana in any combination so it's truly infinite with prossh since you can exile the tokens as well for 1 mana each. With purphorous this means the table dies.
My favorite kill cons though are actually Beastmaster Ascension and Shared Animosity with a haste source like Anger. Prossh makes 6 kobolds, with a haste source you swing with all 7 and instantly get your Ascension to 7 counters meaning that no blocks results in death. 40 damage to the dome.
Shared Animosity is less damage only resulting in 35 damage but still.
Another favorite is Boltwing Marauder.

Coinman1863 says... #39
Isn't Ogre Battledriver strictly better than Biltwing since it costs less and gives haste?

Ohthenoises says... #42
Coinman1863 Boltwing Marauder can also spread out or condense damage. That flexibility is nice when facing prison decks as you can usually attack with 1-2 dudes.
I run both but for different reasons. Boltwing I just look at as another way to push damage. Ogre Battledriver is better, yes, but Boltwing Marauder has an interesting level of complexity.
I also run Kolaghan, the Storm's Fury so it helps that he's a dragon too.

Coinman1863 says... #43
True. Also is Earthcraft worth it in Prossh? I've seen it in a lot of lists. It seems worth, but I don't know if I want to drop the money on it.
October 9, 2015 8:20 p.m.
Ohthenoises says... #44
Coinman1863 it get's out of hand fast, it also lets you easily go infinite with Squirrel Nest if you choose to run it.
October 9, 2015 8:22 p.m.
Coinman1863 says... #46
Also been looking at Mikaeus, the Unhallowed, doesn't look to good in my Prossh since a tom of stuff already gets +1/+1 counters. But is it good in Prossh decks at all?
October 9, 2015 8:26 p.m.
Ohthenoises says... #47
Coinman1863 Most people focus on tokens. Since tokens can't get undying you are losing out on a lot. Essentially paying 
for Glorious Anthem. He can have SOME benefits but unless you are doing the Tooth and Nail into Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Triskelion I find he's not too worth it.
For example, I use Mimic Vat to essentially the same effect.

Wouldn't any "take control" card work for Ink-Treader Nephilim? I cast Act of Treason! I cast Rite of Replication!

I need to make this commander deck.
