Yes, Kamigawa is a terrible set to draft with others, hence MUAHAHAHAHA.

I'm gonna suggest Shadowmoor and Eventide.
I'm also gonna suggest that everyone crack a pack of Conspiracy, because reasons, but that makes a bit of the chaos go down.

On Pro Tour Coverage, LSV said that Tamada would gain "a million life off of his Jeskai Charm (a million is shorthand for 10 or more)." Apparently, the behind the scenes people have a sense of humor:

True, Coinman. What's a chaos draft without the feelbads? :p

Coinman1863 says... #9
The best way to do those is to have 2 packs of one or the other, or one of each since there are 8 cards per pack to bring them up to new pack card amounts.

I love watching the Colts lose. Andrew Luck's facial expressions are hilarious.

So, should I bring In Respondence to a casual EDH playtime at a local shop.
Entry is free and play is a casual environment with a free promo given.
Prize payout is monthly drawing of Sensei's Divining Top.

Damn, it's been a while.
I fucking hate topos theory.

Just played my first game with my new EDH deck! It's Prossh and I even won without the Food Chain Combo. :)
Even more satisfying because it is not even finished yet :).
Beat Scion and Atogatog combo.

DERPLINGSUPREME says... #15
@Coinman1863 look, I know its EDH but it really isn't that hard to imagine winning without combos, is it? whats wrong with just Dragonstorming FTW or beating someone to death?
October 20, 2015 8:38 p.m.
Coinman1863 says... #16
Well, DERPLINGSUPREME, it was more like I had the combo, then someone killed all my tokens. So I was screwed with the Prossh plan. Then I beat into someone's face with a Scarland Thrinax for 13 many times.
But yeah I understand, but with Prossh combo you expect to win with the combo don't you?

Ohthenoises says... #18
Coinman1863 Now you know why I named mine I TRIED for casual; I failed. You can win in so many ways.
My favorite, for those not familiar with Prossh decks, (I've told Coinman1863 already) is Beastmaster Ascension and a haste source like Fervor the turns before Prossh.
Cast Prossh, get 6 kobolds, swing with 7 dudes, beastmaster online, 40 damage to the noggin.
Comes out of nowhere.
My other favorite wincon is Chancellor of the Forge. That's one people don't expect. Hasty 1/1s are amazing and CotF is even better on Mimic Vat.

Coinman1863 says... #19
Ohthenoises I almost won with Chancellor last night too. Then the bugger killed all my tokens before I could cast it :(.

Ohthenoises says... #20
I feel like Prossh is made for Competi-Casual players.
His ability and colors scream "break me" and tokens can get massively out of hand in a format like EDH due to things like Doubling Season.
Prossh is one of those commanders where you can just not worry about counters and whatnot, you can just mash your face into your opponents and it feels amazing.

Coinman1863 says... #21
Yeah, I agree. Same thing with Oloro, You can get spiky Esper shenanigans or casual artifact/lifegain stuff.

People keep rage quitting against rally abzan. Instant speed win is so beautiful

Vamp, how are you not playing Aristocrats?
But Abzan Rally is cool too.
October 21, 2015 1:12 p.m.
VampireArmy says... #24
It's basically aristocrats lol.
So far I've beaten affinity and hatebears despite adversity.
October 21, 2015 1:19 p.m.
Ohthenoises says... #25
Modern rally huh? Shoot me a list.
I got some foil rallys to use and I have Affinity and Bloom Titan, rally could be just what I want to play.

Uh, T/O's playtester has been updated... It looks pretty weird to me now, but it might only be because I'm really used to the old one.

How does one send messages on this site? Want to ask someone something without bringing names onto a wall/forum.

kyuuri117 If you go to a person's page there is the option to Enable Chat. You both must do this before you can chat with each other. You send chats by clicking envelope in top right of any page. I hope that made sense. :P

AngryKitten says... #35
The only thing is you will need to tell them some way or another to enable chat....
October 22, 2015 9:16 a.m.
Femme_Fatale says... #36
They get the notification that you have enabled chat with them AngryKitten. If they are knew and have no idea what that is, then yes, you should definitely let them know to enable chat with you.
Also, here's my article on the new format: Current.

WHO IS EXCITED FOR COMMANDER 2015?!
I'm very excited for there to finally be some more diversity on the r/u area!
October 23, 2015 12:08 a.m.
DERPLINGSUPREME Really hoping that the Orzhov 2015 deck gets some love. Just decided to build Athreos Stax, and bought a bunch of awesome stuff for the deck last night. Would love some new, cheap, token generators or some new ghostly prison-ish effects. Or Sac effects. Or anything else that black and white decks love to do.
October 23, 2015 12:49 a.m.
Ohthenoises says... #40
Know what would be really cool? If they put a walker in each one, Ajani vengant, ral zarek, Sorin lord of Innistrad, Kiora, and Varaska. (Or something)
I feel like it would draw more people.
Even better, include new walkers that can be commanders as backups.
Idk, maybe 2014 commander spoiled me.

I'm going to post this here before I make a thread about it so I can get a feel for interest.
What do you guys think of a T/O book club? I would run it and there would be a monthly thread about the book we read and the next book we will read. Would anyone here join? Also any thoughts/opinions on the idea?
October 23, 2015 7:27 a.m.
DERPLINGSUPREME says... #42
@Coinman1863 itd work jut as well as any book club would, but this iiiissss an MTG site...
maybe MTG books?
lore?
October 23, 2015 10:51 a.m.
Coinman1863 says... #43
DERPLINGSUPREME, What's wrong with a regular bookclub? It is an MTG site but we should sometimes use the Blind Eternities for groups that all parties/sections of the site can enjoy. Like join the Standard, Modern, Legacy, and EDH people together were they do not normally interact. It should be a way for people to meet and talk with people they would not ever in other circumstances.
Basically this site is very divided, and this would help bring together all parties with books that are not associated with what keeps them apart.
October 23, 2015 11:08 a.m.
Would honestly depend on the book for me. Like, For Whom the Bell Tolls? Sure, great book and great author. Heart of Darkness? Absolutely fucking not. Terribly boring snooze fest, absolutely wouldn't re-read it.
I also think they'd have to be noteworthy books, not like some random fantasy or sci-fi novel. And I'm including noteworthy stuff like Dune in this. Great books, and I like em, but they aren't really book club books.
But yea, I'm open to the idea, as long as poetry keeps its distance. Had enough poetry to last a lifetime in Nobel Prize English lit.
October 23, 2015 2:25 p.m.
Femme_Fatale says... #46
Heart of Darkness is a shitty book written by a person who's English was his 4th language in a much older time. Like seriously, the errors are EVERYWHERE and yet professors claim them to be all done on purpose and each have their own meaning.
October 23, 2015 2:47 p.m.
Coinman1863 says... #47
Yeah, I won't do Heart of Darkness. I have nightmares from my english class.
Thinking of possibly doing Starship Troopers or Dark Tower: The Gunslinger as the first book. The first is a political commentary and good "What if" story (like Ender's Game) and the second has a great story with lots of ins and out that connect to other books he has written. Gunslinger is part 1 of 7 in the Dark Tower Series.
I intend to also do some Jeff Shaara stuff too like The Final Storm and his Father's amazing novel The Killer Angels.
Also open to book suggestions from you lot too.
October 23, 2015 3:05 p.m.
I'd be down for re-reading the first dark tower book. Read it about a year ago and never read the second, so that might spark some interest in the series again.
October 23, 2015 3:10 p.m.
I'm gonna go into Barnes and Nobel when I get home and find some books that look interesting.
