Only anime i've ever bought was the Mobile Suit Gundam Wing collections 1 and 2, they were like $20 each. Now they're like $80-100 or something and i've long since lost the dvd's.
Anyway, just found out you can make competitive purphoros EDH for like, $80 dollars if you don't run Gauntlet of Might or Mana Crypt.

I like Feldon personally.
Pathrazer on T3 is kind of unfair.
And the hand disruption is real. Burning Inquiry, Gamble, Goblin Lore, and even Tibalt, the Fiend-Blooded all become good not to mention Wheel of Fortune.

... Why do we have a NSFW tag for decks? I just found while trying to tag a deck of mine and it confuses me greatly.

Itchi, do you really want your familly and friend to know that you're considering playing 8-rack or Lantern Control? Children mustn't look at this stuff. That's pure hardcore pornography.

Please, if I was playing Lantern Control I'd fucking brag about it.

GoldGhost confirmed exhibitionist. He's a pervert. A pervert! When he singss, its gonna leave a mark!

If I was playing Lantern Control, maybe I'd get some respect. But since I play Eldrazi, my opponents substitute respect for salt.
Good thing I love salty foods.

I tried playing blue moon vs. my friends UR eldrazi list. Won one game in like, 6. UR Eldrazi is his first modern deck too. Deck is insanely good. Only game I won I was on the play, had a Spell Snare for his turn 1 Endless One, a Mana Leak for his turn 2 Thought-Knot, and hit a blood moon turn 3 to turn off all his colorless cards.
Not salty about it, as a Legacy player I can definitely respect busted decks. I just don't have the funds to play legacy AND try to counter-break the modern format. Playing blue moon cuz I had been on twin, and it was easy to make.
The only thing I can say is that if you can buy enough time, Pia and Kiran Nalaar combined with stuff like Lightning Bolt and Flame Slash is a nice way to get rid of Eldrazi's bigger stuff. Oh, and Cryptic Command absolutely blows against eldrazi. And Roast is great. It's too bad it isn't instant.
Might try and combine Painter's Servant and Rending Volley or something.

This is why I play imperial taxes in legacy. Wastelands, ports, and magus of the moon crush all the greedy mana bases. Even regular D&T does a number on legacy eldrazi cause wastes and ports hurt them a lot.

Keep in mind, o people looking for eldrazi hate, Painter's Servant + Kor Firewalker/Auriok Champion is silly amounts of good.

I dumped blue moon. Playing my own version of Jund, and it's freaking awesome.
Liquimoon Jund if anyone's interested.

Way ahead of you on that one Ohthenoises, I even still have my Auriok Champions in the main~
It gets better when you are swinging with Mirran Crusaders buffed with Noble Hierarchs.

Ohthenoises says... #19
I've known it since people suggested Servant in the firslt place, just never mentioned it till now.
Kor Firewalker seems particularly good since people SB it already for the burn matchup.

Auriok Champion practically gives you the game against Junk, Jund and Delver though. It doesn't shy off against Affinity, Merfolk and Zoo either.

Man I need to try and be more active on here. Been too busy lately. Missing the community though.

Watched the RWBY Volume 3 finale roughly seven hours ago. Still can't process it. I can't even.

Sometimes I see threads like this and wonder how people these days are ignorant of how expensive the cards can be and how big the game has become.
Though it is kinda cool to see people like this, trying to bring their moxen to FNMs. :P

i'm really agreeing with all the expectations of NO msrps, but I have a feeling if we all storm amazon we can get them before anyone else.
also, I think I might actually be able to play paper legacy after this if I get decent pulls.
or at least make my cube this much more interesting

No one cares about a wasteland reprint, that's just useful for everybody. As far as force goes, we're gonna take a hit of about, hm, $20-35 dollars a card, but that new art is fantastic so it's whatever. Gonna be grabbing a second play set now.
Frankly, as long as like Imperial Painter isn't reprinted, I don't see people complaining too much.

I prefer the sub for Code Geass because I prefer Japanese Lelouch. They're both great, but the English voice sounds a little more condescending whereas the Japanese voice sounds like a mix of apathy and detachment. They're similar enough that I can watch dub with no problems, but I just have my personal preference. Also, sub is the default on the website that I watch anime and I'm too lazy to press an extra button to go to dub even if I wanted to.
Off topic, but does anyone watch any of the CW's shows? I'm currently catching up on season 3 of The 100 and it's intense.
