@slovakattack I don't! when you spend under 100 bucks on a deck...
then theres the 5 card in the deck that will randomly spike to 40$ each when looking at prices.

Who thinks Ghoulcaller Gisa would make a good General for EDH?

nah. not cool enough. while she would allow for a lot of abuse I feel as though she would get boring rather quickly due to repetitive gameplay.
shes also the only token person in black, so if you wanna do that, go for it bro.

So just moved to my new place ... and I'm really hoping to get out of here as soon as possible. The place is a dump as all the roommates and people who live here and lived here previously are/were drug addicts and alcoholics. The place is so dusty and grimy ... the entire kitchen is in shambles and there is a heavy sandpaper grain to the counter tops. I checked the cupboards and it looked like there was mold-mummified Kraft Dinner in a pot underneath the sink. I really had no choice as I was 4 days away from being evicted from my uni and now I have a 6 month contract to try and get through.
The good thing is that this place is $450 a month. In Vancouver, that is unheard of. UBC was $836.
In other news. I have too much stuff. My boxes are touching the ceiling in this room. Luckily I don't really plan on "living" in this place so I won't be opening my boxes.

So, you guys remember that science teacher I have who I told you guys used to play magic? Today I was cleaning out my backpack and I got my binder out and he was like "you play magic?" He then goes behind his desk sand gets out a champions of kamigawa deckbox. Inside is a myr tribal deck and it turns out he has all of his old cards.

Sounds like my old science teacher, he had Competetive Myr Tribal behind his desk but for Scars block Standard. It was not fun to play against without any Shatter / Vandalblast / Shattering Spree effects.

My art teacher still plays. You can occasionally catch a game with him at lunch.

Even Matt Tabak doesn't have the rulings for my sandwich. He has it for every other sandwich though. :(

I just found a site that sells pin-ups done by Greg Hildebrandt. They are done in a style of the 90s movie posters. If they weren't so cliche and cheesy I'd buy some.

Hey does anyone know if there will be another modern tournament? And if so, when? Thanks

PerfectDisguise probably when this one is done and if we can find people to organize it. I would have no qualms running another one, considering I'm not set on fire by an angry mob in the near future.

Oh, I didn't know there was already one in progress. I suppose it's too late to sign up?

Is anyone watching the pro tour? Been stuck at work all day and I'll be here til 11, so can't watch it. Is it full of jeskai black and gw megamorph? Or are there some new decks? (Only really interested in standard).

trollslayer Congrats, you're the third person this week who has given me the impression that several users stalk me. That or I am paranoid as all hell. I've been back for a while, I just don't post here as often. I mostly build decks and comment on the other forums these days.
PerfectDisguise you're late for sign ups by a month or so at this point. So, aye, tis too late unfortunately.
kyuuri117 alas I cannot aid you. But what I know is that it's mostly what was expected. 4 coloured builds, GW Megamorph and Atarka Red, with some Abzan and Esper for good measure. Christ.. standard is getting more expensive by the set.

Hopefully WotC is right about faster rotations = lower prices but I don't see it.
Hype drives up prices, time lets prices fall, less time = higher prices so here's hoping.

Alright so I know there are people here who do card alters, I just can't remember who. I need a hookup with one of these peeps. I want to get an Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger turned into a giant, four armed, cookie monster with a huge, black, gaping mouth.

kyuuri117, TheAnnihilator does some alter work, though I don't know if he does alters like that. I'm pretty sure he only does border extension and full art, but there is no harm in asking.

Also thoughts on paying an extra $.50 for a Chinese Shadowmoor Woodfall Primus for EDH?
I think It's a good deal.

DERPLINGSUPREME says... #42
@Coinman1863 well I think that if you can't find a normal english version then you should go for it, but its usually much better to have the english versiion instead for any ruling issues that might come up.

TheNextRedDude: RtR sounds pretty reasonable. My issue with Kamigawa is that there was a huge focus on spirit mechanics in the set (soulshift, splice into arcane). That tends not to work well with other sets, you know?
