Guys, I figured out the perfect eldrazi hosing SB card.

Ye olde Vampire Hexmage

Kills chalice (well, sets it to 0), kills endless one, blocks mimics favorably, etc

Ohthenoises says... #4

Oh, forgot to mention, it can also be combined with bolts to block X/5's

February 6, 2016 10:55 p.m.

kyuuri117 says... #5

You also need to discard a card with that bolt. I'm about to start considering AEtherize just to buy some time.

February 6, 2016 11:09 p.m.

Ohthenoises says... #6

I wasn't referring to the Reality Smasher specifically just generic. More thinking that you could essentially kill a TKS with a bolt. But yes, you would have to discard but you would still be killing the thing.

Also, she kills Matter Reshaper.

Enough to buy a few turns even if it's just the threat of popping to blow up endless one immediately.

Book Club

Figured I might as well start it since it seemed popular a month or so ago but no one did anything about it.

All I do is write these days. By the time it's 7, I just feel like putting on some trashy anime. Time to not think.

6 eldrazi decks in the top 8 of the Pro tour... Seriously, where's the fucking gatewach when you need it?

Dem drazi. Should I trade my eye, and temples, or hold them for a bit? Just posted in the trading forum that I had some for trade yesterday.

February 7, 2016 1:22 p.m.

Trade them before they get banned lol

Actually though, I'd trade into all the hype.

February 7, 2016 3:11 p.m.

elpokitolama says... #16

Wait a little bit, in a week I think the Eye will be at least at 40 on MKM, which is my rfrence for prices. That may be a bit early, but waiting too much may as well be too risky as the Pro Tour proved that the unexpected may and will come without noticing anybody.

February 7, 2016 3:40 p.m.

kyuuri117 says... #17

Eye is already between $40 and $50. Trade it if you got it and aren't gonna use it.

Coinman1863 says... #18

Well, I just learned something new. Port hurts the Legacy eldrazi deck a lot more than I expected. And Wasteland is obviously up to snuff.

February 7, 2016 5:32 p.m.

Good. The only eldrazi we need in Legacy is Emrakul.

February 7, 2016 6:16 p.m.

kyuuri117 says... #20

Coinman1863 To be honest, you could just splash a few Eldrazi in legacy MUD. The modern Eldrazi decks are basically based off of it anyway.

lol Modern's super done

February 7, 2016 7:33 p.m.

JWiley129 says... #22

The rumors of Modern's demise are grossly over-exaggerated. Let's at least see a GP before we jump to conclusions. Give some time for the people to react and figure out the best way to attack them.

February 7, 2016 7:36 p.m.

Can't say I'm not playing Legacy more and looking at actually building a Commander deck though.

Riku of Two Reflections, if you've got any advice.

February 7, 2016 7:38 p.m.

JWiley129 says... #24

Good creatures + Good spells + Mana Production = Good Riku deck.

I decided to try my hand at altering magic cards since I don't really have any hobbies anymore aside from MtG.

MRW I see the cost for my supplies when I check out:

Feck man... Acrylics be expensive, yo.

Have any of you had success with selling high end stuff for cash? It seems everywhere I look people want paypal, which I can't use because you're supposed to be 18.

and by high end I mean like upwards of $40

btw anybody want to buy goblin guides?

sirbar says... #27

ThisIsBullshit I have sold a bunch of cards on ebay that are all upwards of 60$. But you do have to have a paypal account. Maybe have a parent get it.

February 7, 2016 10:22 p.m.

Arvail says... #28

No one wants your dirty red cards. SHOO! Jk. I'm selling my stuff on Ebay and I've used paypal tons without issue. Do you not have a parent or a friend you trust with a Paypal account?

February 7, 2016 10:23 p.m.

My parents do not approve of my MTG hobby, so that would be a no go. Don't trust any friends with my money.

February 7, 2016 10:48 p.m.

filledelanuit says... #30

Unfortunately you do need to be 18 for legal liability reasons. If you have a local store you can try there or you can buylist to T&T who can send a check. You're going to be hard pressed to find someone who will pay cash but if you have a bank account in your name you should be fine. If not you would need to find someone that you trust to handle stuff.

February 8, 2016 12:02 a.m.

Oh I have a bank account and such, I just can't have PayPal.

How is t+t for prices? Last I checked, stores that buylist tend to really lowball you.

February 8, 2016 12:06 a.m.

filledelanuit says... #32

If you have a bank account (a checking account specifically) you can hook that up to paypal. I use it for online payments and I can receive stuff as well.

I literally opened up kissanime.to and started loading volume 3 episode 8 less than 5 mins ago vault. I love it, I'm about to watch the rest of them that are out so far. Show is awesome!

February 8, 2016 2:43 a.m.

-Fulcrum says... #36

kengiczar, I'm so glad there's someone on TappedOut other than me who watches it. I'm not really a part of any other forum sites, so I haven't talked to anyone about it. I don't know if I'll be awake when you finish episode 11, but if I am, hfs...

February 8, 2016 3:04 a.m.

kengiczar says... #37

Starting episode 10 right now.

February 8, 2016 3:12 a.m.

Femme_Fatale says... #38

Why don't you watch it on the home site kengiczar? It is most likely better quality.

I wait till each season is done before I watch them. Don't want to wait for next episode.

February 8, 2016 3:36 a.m.

-Fulcrum says... #39

I don't have the patience to wait for the full season. I'm obsessive. Also, I believe we should not discuss any of the spoilery stuff in this thread kengiczar.

February 8, 2016 3:54 a.m.

kengiczar says... #40

I'm just used to watching everything on kissanime. Since I frequent it about once a day I always see when the new episodes for my shows pop up on the front page feed of latest additions.

Another day and another ribbing on my daughter to keep her cool, let off steam, and just learn to play the game with the dice that life rolls for her.

I started a second character in Fallout 4. Started with 1-9-1-1-3-9-4. I'm at 1-10-1-2-3-10-9 now and I've only gotten the Perception bobblehead and the "You're SPECIAL!" book to increase them outside of perk points. It's really fun making every hit a crit in a pistol build.

Holy. Crap.

Try to get to the bottom of what causes them to behave this way. Your priority really ought to lie in determining if they're depressed. If they are, they might be at risk for harming themselves, so we really want to avoid that. Professional help is highly encouraged. If they're simply not motivated to do anything, there are lots of different ways that their behavior can be addressed (cognitive behavioral therapy). It's possible that this person is acting this way because of their family situation or some other external thing. There's very little we can do for you because we don't know anything about specifics. For now, check out how people contemplating suicide typically behave and figure out if your friend is in a crisis.

It also could be because school proved itself to not require much effort for many many years before the final 2 years of highschool. That's a big problem I see up here at least, grades 7-10 no one does homework because it is not necessary when learning the material and get a good grade. All they are are basically mundane assignments that are repetitions of what you already know and don't learn anything. Then you get to the final two years where they are important to learn and get a decent grade and you aren't prepared because you learned to not bother.

February 9, 2016 6:52 p.m.

sirbar says... #49

Femme_Fatale I do agree with you. I used to be much like the kid that LiveForChaos was describing because I didn't have to do my work to pass my classes and I usually already knew what was being taught. I've only started doing my work again my senior year because I don't want to chance not passing a required class and then not being able to graduate.

February 9, 2016 7:20 p.m.

@LiveForChaos it doesn't get better. maybe a little, but mostly, it doesn't.

If one time you get really annoyed or something with them doing that, slap your own thigh REALLY hard and laugh ridiculously loudly. they'll shut up, prolly. it tends to get them to think about what they're actually doing a little bit.
