I'm happy at least a partial restoration occured. I have like 9,000 points now myself.
November 21, 2015 6:26 p.m.
I'm back to rank 4 which is nice, but odd that I lost a rank.
November 21, 2015 8 p.m.
I imagine you lost a rank because of femme. She's number 1 now.

Bell, you finally passed me! ;)
I'm actually happy about that, non mods shouldn't be in the top 3.
Just cause I joined before you.

Up to 18 :)
I'm curious from where these points come from though, because the ranks seem much more updated than before. Like Femme has been doing a ton of work recently and she's number one (strangely in front of Epoch though...). I've been pretty active in the last couple months, so I'm up about 30 places from my original rank. Other users that used to be very high but who have not been very active dropped down (Blind_Guardian). So are these ranks from a few months ago?
November 21, 2015 9:26 p.m. Edited.
From 35 to 163, and as for partial restoration of points, I have 2,000. Used to have 35,000 or so, and it felt cool to have the same TO rank and point count. I've been super inactive lately, so my rank is probably just gonna drop from here.

Scourge of Nel Toth plays so well with Ghoulcaller Gisa. It's amazing.
Get 6 2/2s then sac 2 to get it back for 
. Net result is pay for 4 2/2s

Ohthenoises says... #14
Well that's all assuming that the dargin was already in play so it can result in pseudo vigilance for him as well.
Favorite quote from a user about Gisa: "Smacked with her spade."

That resulted in a dirty mental image for some reason >.>

Ohthenoises says... #16
Just updated Gisa with everything since KTK, so many changes.....
So much evil
Also, what mental image did you get @Femme_Fatale?
November 22, 2015 3:34 p.m. Edited.
Femme_Fatale says... #17
I couldn't make up my mind as to what spade was an innuendo of, so three images popped in my mind:
Gisa slapping someone with ...
- Boobs
- Ass
- Pussy

Just bought the orzhov premade should i go daxos or karlov?

Kinda scared of getting owned by Merciless Eviction tbh

Ohthenoises says... #22
Take it apart VA and make a better deck!
TBH Teysa, Orzhov Scion supported BY daxos would be pretty beastly. since his tokens are B/W and at the bare minimum 1/1s.
November 22, 2015 4:45 p.m.
Or play Tasigur, the Golden Fang like a boss.
My friends call him "Tod".

Ohthenoises says... #24
I plan on making my BUG deck Sidisi instead. Dredge theme with Ezuri, Claw of Progress and Meren of Clan Nel Toth.
So much value.
November 22, 2015 6:02 p.m.
Holy crap that sounds awesome.
My playgroup is looking into Planeswalker EDH for fun. It looks interesting.
November 22, 2015 6:06 p.m.
Ohthenoises says... #26
The "combo" wincon will be either Jarad flinging a Boneyard Wurm at the table or Hermit Druid + Sidisi, Brood Tyrant and having a Dread Return and Labratory Maniac in the grave. 
activate, mill out, sac the 2/2, sidisi, and Hermit Druid for Lab then cast a cantrip.
November 22, 2015 6:14 p.m.
But combos are lame.
And what if someone drops a Blood Moon effect?
November 22, 2015 6:25 p.m.
But on another note, would Think Twice be a nice cantrip for the deck?

I JUST realized that Horizon Canopy was actually a bed of massive leaves. It took a cartoonistic alter for me to see it.

Coinman1863 says... #30
It took you that long to see the tiny people on those big ass leaves?
Wow...
November 22, 2015 6:37 p.m.
Ohthenoises says... #31
Combos aren't lame lol that's a subjective opinion.
Think Twice would be very good especially if I don't have a cantrip in hand.
Blood Moon effects can be overriden with Chromatic Lantern and I plan on running enough rocks to be able to kill it. That being said, most people in my group don't run Blood Moon anyways.

VampireArmy: I also bought it, and I found Daxos pretty slow... When I'm winning, it's always with the rest of the deck! x')
Well, I have done only 1v1 with my enhanced version of it so I can't say of his relevance in multiplayer, but he is sooooo bad when compared to Mizzix, Arjun, Meren, Ezuri or Kazeto... :<
However, the enchant/lifegain gameplan is really nice to play, with infinite combos (like Sanguine Bond-based ones) and more tutor it can be even nicer :>

Why is it so much easier to give guys advice about relationships than girls? Like, as a guy, it should be real freakin easy to tell a girl, "he's doing that because this, that and this other thing." I know why he's doing it, I've seen my friends do that shit and done some of it myself. I've got first hand experience with shitty relationships and it should be easy.
But it's just not the same. And it's not even what they really want to hear either.

Women make up their mind and short of an act of god a typical woman will ignore anything that doesn't conform with their view.
November 22, 2015 7:04 p.m.
As far as my experience with combos go they don't seem very fun, unless of course you steal somebody else's combo with theft affects. I've never done it, but it seems hilarious.
November 22, 2015 7:08 p.m.
BTW, what is the coolest thing you've ever done in an EDH game Ohthenoises?
November 22, 2015 7:10 p.m.
Ohthenoises says... #37
It requires a long story so here goes.
I was playing a Roon Clone deck, had 3 Serra Ascendants on the field at the same time and I didn't want to be a dick. In the interest of fairness I rolled 3d6 to determine targets. (It's just what we do when there's no clear target.) 2 numbers were the same and happened to be a particularly idiotic member of our playgroup. He started complaining for about 50 minutes solid about how I was targeting him. Needless to say, I was annoyed.
I came back the next week with The third path is the saddest and decided to show him what targeting was. I got everyone in the group to leave me and him alone without his knowledge, they knew this was between us. I got a nutso draw including Sol Ring, Faithless Looting, and Pathrazer of Ulamog.
- Mountain > Sol Ring > Lightning Greaves
- Mountain > Feldon of the Third Path > Equip Lightning Greaves
- Faithless Looting, pitching Pathrazer of Ulamog > Activate Feldon of the Third Path targeting Pathrazer of Ulamog > Attack
- Repeat
- Repeat
- Repeat
Every time I attacked I said "This is what being targeted is Eli..."
After he dies I resume the game as normal and tell everyone thanks for letting me do my thing.
November 22, 2015 7:32 p.m.
Wow ... so many reactions ... and so varied and confusing in their simultinaeity ...
Do ya think he got the point after hearing it the third time lol?
Sounds like he was kind of a good sport if he sat through that and took it ...
Whoa! The rest of the playgroup was at your command for that long!?
So is it out of your system yet or is this guy on some kind of list for you now?
Sometimes people literally use whining as a strategy in multiplayer games ... I wonder if this actually extinguishes that or not ...
Good story! Very dramatic!

This is the the same guy that threatened to bring in a gun and kill everyone twice (not due to my Feldon target instance).
He didn't get the point.
He wasn't a good sport, he was bitching the entire time and I would only responded with "you were the one complaining for no reason last time, now I'm just giving you a reason to be a bitch"
They weren't at my "command", they just all knew the score and they don't like playing with him either so they were fine with me taking him out. I promised them that I wouldn't be going after anyone else until he was knocked out.
This guy is on my entire groups shit list, he's a whiny prick who would argue that the sky was blue even if you had his eyes pried open looking up.
Whining doesn't work for him. He's an idiot and an asshole. No mercy left. Especially when he threatened to shoot up my LGS. The owner just has a bleeding heart.

canterlotguardian says... #40
I'd seriously call the cops on him. Making terroristic threats is a crime, and yes that qualifies as a terroristic threat. Criminal justice grad talking here. Lol
November 22, 2015 8:19 p.m.
Ohthenoises says... #41
I know, we wanted to, the LGS owner persuaded us not to since he talked with the kid's mother. (He's like 30 living with his mother.)
He banned him for 6 months.
November 22, 2015 8:21 p.m.
TheNextRedDude says... #42
What caused the "kill everyone twice" threat( How does that even happen??? Killing someone, then everyone who ever knew them, erasing their name from history?) ? Short of someone playing Braids or Rofellos, I don't understand why he would do that.
November 22, 2015 8:22 p.m.
Ohthenoises says... #43
He got mad for someone calling him out on cheating. He had cards up his sleeve at a tournament and we caught him, DQed him, and kicked him off the premises. During that he threatened to bring a gun in.
A year later he was in an argument and was losing because he's an idiot. When he was called on his stupidity he got hostile and threatened to again bring in a gun. This is the incident that sparked the 6 month ban.
That being said I have a concealed carry .45 that the owner and several patrons asked me to carry for a few weeks after he was allowed back to the shop as a just in case policy.

That actually sounds pretty bad. Does he have a gun (or a license)?
November 22, 2015 8:32 p.m.
TheNextRedDude says... #45
Wow. On behalf of humanity, I say this to him: "What the heck, man? Not cool."
November 22, 2015 8:35 p.m.
FAMOUSWATERMELON says... #47
Good for you then XD Though I assume he wouldn't be able to do much against someone who's actually been the army and happens to carry around a hand gun.

Ohthenoises says... #48
I don't typically broadcast when I'm armed either.
We live in Vermont, guns aren't really a scare here as much as other places. Our kids go to school with guns on their cars/trucks after early morning hunting and no one bats an eye. We just don't make an issue out of stuff that isn't one.
Besides, I'm a good shot. :D

elpokitolama i like my decks to be able to win whether or not my general sticks around if that means anything. I was considering either doing some sort of token plus anthem thing or straight up pillow fort/control with him as 1 wincon.
Karlov would likely be some kind of exrort and control stuff with lots of drain type of effects like Palace Siege
November 22, 2015 8:57 p.m.
I was never really into guns but I bought a shotgun a few months back and have been going to a trap/skeet range every few weekends with some friends. It's a lot of fun.
Went to an actual out door shooting range yesterday, and shot fifteen slugs at the 100 yard range. Managed to hit the paper once out of those fifteen shots, but it was a bullseye. Pretty sure actually getting a bullseye was luck, but was still happy I managed to hit the paper.
Still, it's given me a much better appreciation for thoSe who have to train with guns for a living. Not easy without a scope, and my shoulder feels like someone took a meat tenderizer to it. The recoil on my fiends rifle felt like a joke after those fifteen slugs.

I'm going to give some serious help in the EDH section. I feel that's where my calling is, seeing as it's the only format I still play. Lol
