People quit when they want to. Let them. There comes a point when they resolve their 2nd sphinx's rev, you have no cards in hand, and you just know the game is over. Just GG out of there. I mean, try not to be a dick about it. Don't just rip your Ethernet cable from the wall or anything, but you're not obligated to wait there for your opponent to deck you with his Elixir either.

There's a big difference between continuing a hopeless scenario and what he did. We were on game 1, he accused me of cheating, and abruptly left.

Arvail says... #4

Your original post had no indication of the guy accusing you. It just sounded like he got salty over losing and left.

On a tangent, Regular Elvish Mystic or FNM Elvish Mystic for EDH foil?

November 24, 2015 7:22 a.m.

Regular foil

November 24, 2015 11:26 a.m.

Coinman1863 says... #7

Also are Alpha/Beta Llanowar Elves considered pimp? Or are only foils considered that? In the EDH sense

November 24, 2015 11:30 a.m.

Arvail says... #8

Regular foil for me too.

November 24, 2015 11:52 a.m.

VampireArmy says... #9

Promo for me. I like the native look

November 24, 2015 12:01 p.m.

Ohthenoises says... #10

I have an Italian foil. Elfo Mystico. Got it in rome.

I like the Promo though.

Also, VampireArmy my wife is 50% North Dakota Souix. My father-in-law was born on the reservation. (Hes also a former SEAL, so asking for her hand was awkward.)

Hey guys, how good is Knowledge Exploitation in EDH?

November 24, 2015 12:26 p.m.

VampireArmy says... #12

Sadly, im some good portion black foot. My biological mother practiced a lot of the old traditions but she died before teaching me anything. I'm still white though haha

elpokitolama says... #13

Ohthenoises well, guess it's also a question of irresponsability so! :(

By the way, has everybody here checked the new Kozilek? It's somehow... Meh.

November 24, 2015 12:57 p.m.

Ohthenoises says... #14

I think before judging we need to see more about the wasted mana.

November 24, 2015 1:02 p.m.

VampireArmy says... #15

Hehe wasted..hehe drunk mana

November 24, 2015 1:03 p.m.

elpokitolama says... #16

I hope it's not just new regular basics lands, and that it has some kind of interaction with eldrazis, without being the obvious additional mana.

November 24, 2015 1:10 p.m.

Ohthenoises says... #17

I'm Thinking that they will operate more along the lines of snow mana. (see Scrying Sheets)

As far as the gun debate. Americans have a much different opinion of them then some other countries.

xzzane let me know if/when you are ready.

November 24, 2015 6:56 p.m.

I built my first legacy deck!

except i couldn't find any Ponders so I used Brainstorms instead.

now I can't play legacy because my deck is illegal in eveything but casual :|

November 24, 2015 7:56 p.m.

Uh, Derp, Brainstorm is legal in Legacy...

November 24, 2015 7:59 p.m.

.>_<

I hate myself eternally.

I guess I just assumed since isn't it a 1-of in vintage?

November 24, 2015 8:01 p.m.

Yep. But there are a few cards that are Restricted in Vintage and perfectly legal in Legacy.

November 24, 2015 8:03 p.m.

lol, and now I find out the Mystical Tutor I have in it is illegal XD

eh, fuckit. they'll never know!!!!

i guess I'm also surprised that Mental Misstep is banned. and sad that Treasure Cruise is.

November 24, 2015 8:05 p.m.

kyuuri117 says... #25

Mental Misstep is banned in legacy because for a good six months after it was released, every single deck was running four of them, regardless of if they played blue in the list or not. The card is just absolutely busted in a format that has 60-70% one drops.

November 24, 2015 8:56 p.m.

Ohthenoises says... #26

Guys, this needs to be seen

November 24, 2015 9:49 p.m.

I cracked up at Chris Christie and couldn't stop laughing for the rest of them. Trump's Money was probably the best, but protection from orphans is too sweet.

November 24, 2015 10:12 p.m.

kyuuri117 says... #28

Put together a red/green Omnath EDH deck, and i've gotta say, it's the most fun i've had in magic in quite some time. Sure, it's not hermit druid levels of competitive, but it's just fantastic.

Honestly, have not had this much fun in magic in months. Awesome threats, awesome card advantage, and you're never defenseless or out of gas for long.

Being able to one shot someone from full health if the table is big enough using Omnath and Blade of Selves is just icing on the cake.

Anybody else hyped for Captain America: Civil War? I'm so ready but so not ready at the same time

November 25, 2015 10:26 a.m.

I'm hype af, personally. I've loved both of the other CA movies so I'm pretty sure I'll love this one too.

November 25, 2015 10:28 a.m.

I just don't know which side to root for lol I love Cap but Tony is hilarious

VampireArmy says... #32

apparently one of friends who does cosplay got doxxed by faggots on 4chan and wants to quit because of them :/

November 25, 2015 10:52 a.m.

GoldGhost012 says... #33

Very ready to see it and see what exactly they change to make it fit. My hype is currently taken by Batman v Superman and Suicide Squad, but I'm still very excited.

November 25, 2015 10:53 a.m.

Doxxing is retarded, hopefully they don't quit.

4chan is full of idiots

November 25, 2015 11:39 a.m.

VampireArmy says... #35

yeah i let her know to take it up with the police if anything happens in the form of harassment but otherwise to ignore the idiots. They're likely fat greasy basement dwellers anyways who have no room to talk. She runs a cosplay page called Plus Sized Cosplayers of New England if anyone likes that sort of thing.

November 25, 2015 11:59 a.m.

Coinman1863 says... #36

My movie hype lays on the path of the beam, with the Dark Tower movie. Been waiting years for it as it has been in production limbo forever.

November 25, 2015 12:57 p.m.

VampireArmy why yes I will take a look at that. lol

I'm actually convinced that Ashiok is a girl. Go ahead, sue me.

November 25, 2015 8:29 p.m.

VampireArmy says... #42

Adhiok doesn't have a sex anymore. It's a shadow creature now:P.

November 25, 2015 8:32 p.m.

So is this an official thing or is this just coming from you?

November 25, 2015 10:22 p.m.

GoldGhost012 says... #44

In the Ashiok Uncharted Realms, when a gender pronoun would be used, the author always uses "Ashiok." I also think Doug Beyer answered a question on his tumblr about that.

Edit: it was actually Mark Rosewater, who replied Ashiok's gender is "unknown."

November 25, 2015 10:25 p.m. Edited.

I think that this falls into the realm of "he who draws porn first wins"

I love circa-enough-ego's reblog of MaRo's post in the link. She's got the right amount of snark. Not too heavy, not too light.

I have never seen a better alter. I'm now searching through my collection to find something also deserving of an alter like this.
