Ah Christmas. A time of giving, joy, and seeing how many boxes you can fit a tiny present into.

VampireArmy - Freedom of religion is bundled in there with freedom of speech in the first amendment. By proposing to bar Islamic US citizens entering the US if they left he proposed a violation of the first amendment.
Trump has repeatedly questioned the constitution's legality and made statements about changing it. A few months ago he was going on about ending birthright citizenship.
It is generally frowned upon for a presidential hopeful to not only be unaware of constitutional law but to also communicate a desire to either/or not follow/remove/amend the most basic tenets.

Who would have thought that Macedonia and Belarus would be tied for first after day one of the Magic World Cup? They were not even on most commentator's radar.
Also, Poor USA...

Sorry, Trump is great. Politics is a joke. He is just like the part of the joke where the person explains the punchline to make sure everyone got it.

I'm BAAACCKK. hi people, left for a little bit. I feel like I'm in the graveyard or magic players. I feel like playing EDH. Sigh.

I started playing Legacy and now I'm addicted to it but nobody else is any good and/or wants to play me
December 11, 2015 11:21 p.m.
It's too bad your not east coast honestly. Big paper legacy following in the tri state area.

hello all.
I haven't really existed here for a while.
I made a cube.
I have started altering lots of cards, finishing up my 6th today.
next week is finals/midterms.
I love christmas.

Yeah in paper. I don't have my deck completely finished so I can't go to the cities and actually play so I'm kinda stuck playing with my playgroup until then

I think it's time i took a break from orzhov based decks and look at building a Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord sacrifice shenanigans commander deck
December 12, 2015 9:16 p.m.
I'm just putting finishing touches on my first EDH. A political mono U artifact brew with Vryn's Prodigy at the helm.

I got a Patron of the Moon deck out earlier and it's so much fun. Especially since no one ever sees it coming.
Also, free bullshit!! Just look from comment 67 down and get some popcorn.

I've got to say, it's nice seeing a bunch of hate that isn't on one of my token decks for once.

I love people who make unfounded, irrational claims!
I hate people who make STUPID, unfounded, irrational claims though. they are annoying.
also, blink182.
December 13, 2015 2:03 a.m.
Is there a way I can prohibit certain people from making comments on my decks? I would hate to be called out for my Shattergang Brothers not being an actual STAX deck because it's not some 20 year old vintage list.

FAMOUSWATERMELON, Popcorn was a necessity, thanks for my daily bullshitting!
December 13, 2015 8:33 a.m.
So the link to http://hearth.to/ is pretty freaking sweet. I feel like I got stealthed pretty hard as I had no idea it was coming.

Yes, but they aren't conservatives. They're just stupid. :p

I don't get why people are so hyped about the new nissa. It's very mediocre. Sure you can anthem in Naya Zoo on turn 3, so what? It's still making 0/1 plants, and the ult is irrelevant.
December 13, 2015 11:34 p.m.
It's because PLANTS!
I know plants are weak and all but....c'mon. Beating people up with plants is one of the best ways to win.
December 13, 2015 11:37 p.m.
Im having a... let's call it a discussion... with someone on mythic spoiler about Nissa. He thinks she's modern Elves playable. I'm calling him a dumbass. I've never even played the deck, and the fact that it doesn't synergize with Ezuri, Elvish Archdruid or Shaman of the Pack instantly tells me it's not a good card for the deck. He refuses to see reason.
December 13, 2015 11:49 p.m.
Man, Femme_Fatale. I think I should reconsider puresteel after that.. um.. silliness.. Twas quite entertaining.
I even checked for popcorn in my pantry. xD

People tend to be less inclined to bend to your point of view when you resort to calling them names like "dumbass," kyuuri117. No matter how true your assertions might be.
Just sayin'.
December 14, 2015 3:57 a.m.
Was paraphrasing, sorry. I was actually pretty polite in my "discussion", and didn't actually call him any names. My tone of voice, on the other hand, was pretty damn condescending once we got to the whole nitty gritty of the argument. Well, tone of text, I guess. Didn't want to outright tell him he was being an imbecile, wanted him to realize that for himself.

That new sphinx is gonna be a huge problem in standard, Pretty much a race to who can cast him first.
December 14, 2015 10:09 a.m.
TheNextRedDude says... #36
World Breaker fits so well in my deck. The sphinx will be a problem for me, but i can get out Ulamog fast enough. World Breaker is basically me flipping off removal.

Caligula: It's worth noting that the new Kozilek's return kills it on the flashback :p
December 14, 2015 3:11 p.m.
Yeah, this is true. But what won't that kill on the flashback is a better question. I mean, PLA is outta reach for it, but doesn't protect itself or your spells.

Why do I always choose the most mentally exhausting decks to play?
December 14, 2015 7:15 p.m.
@ThisIsBullshit it still sees some play as a control finisher.
December 14, 2015 8 p.m.
Hey guys.
Is dragons modern playable in your opinions? It doesn't have to be good, I'm just wondering if you guys think it's playable. Probably Grixis colors, but possibly just U/R.
Stormbreath, Thunderbreak, and thundermaw, assisted by Countermagic and hand disruption. A Jace AoT could be interesting, and some kolaghan tSFs to push the win.
I guess I just hope and pray for no Baneslayer Angels.

Just another day in my line of work.
Got a call from a court complaining that their computer for recording wasn't starting. (Laptops were installed for mobility's sake.)
Turns out they didn't know that they had to plug it in to power and the battery had run out.

VampireArmy may i ask what exactly an angelic coyote looks like? And does it have any meaning?
December 15, 2015 9:23 p.m.
VampireArmy says... #46
Well i was talked out of the wings but the coyote is paying homage to my native american heritage (at least the small fraction of that i have in me) since my biological parents still held onto those ways before they passed. The coyote in general represents my love for the Californian desert.

I second Tibs here, I would be sorely disappointed if we do not see the end product.

If any of you guys pull Ancient Tomb expeditions, keep me in mind. Willing to pay well for em.

So my roommates have a white elephant tomorrow, so I drove them up to Walmart for a late-night gag gift run. Long story short, one walked out with a toilet seat in a box and the other had a large green Chinese takeout box containing an erotic novel, a wooden letter D, and a bottle of "Personal Lubricant." Best shopping trip ever.
