Dat broke life. Buuuut after this week I'll be 90% through with my standard vamps deck sans the cheaper commons/uncommons and 2 lands/2 kalitas.

I have very livid words for the mtg community as to why i haven't owned many cards in the last years. One that will likely be unpopular so I'll let it go.

I'll make it simple and attempt to not step on too many feelings here:
If you're the type of person who artificially inflates the economy of any card, fuck you.(Not "you" but rather those who are reading this that do it)
April 12, 2016 3:49 p.m.
Ahhh. makes sense. I honestly didn't know what you were referring to before.

My anger is directed mostly at venders but there's a few people over on puca trade who do it too. The bitch about it is that some cards can never recover. Goblin Guide is a decent example
April 12, 2016 3:56 p.m.
yeah, that looks like they tried to do it a few times as well. We just have to hope wizards continues to treat us well with the upcoming sets via sweet reprints.

I mean sure but it's kind of sad that we, as the players, just have to sit here and take punch after punch from scumbag vendors all the time. I mean all the way down to people's orders being cancelled after a spike happens just to preserve maxinum profit. "Sorry we lost your card here's your money back brb bout to sell it to someone else for 3x the profit lel"
Sorry I'm flying off the handle. I did warn ya

I think I just watched the most cheesiest softcore lesbian action anime ever. Valyrie Drive: Maiden. I don't know if I should get aroused or gouge my eyes out from the cheesiness.

I've decided to pick up a case of beer. Whenever I die in Dark Souls 3, I'm taking a drink. Wish me luck.

kyuuri117 no matter how much beer you've got, it won't be enough to last until you finish the game... :p

So guys, would which would get the biggest ooh's at your EDH table: Japanese DD Jace Beleren, or expo Breeding Pool?

ducttapedeckbox says... #22
That awkward moment when you forget about the Spring Fair kickoff fireworks... And they're right outside your window...
I'd probably say the Jace, Coinman. It's a little more unique and the lands risk getting covered up when you start stacking lands.
April 14, 2016 8:47 p.m.
ThisIsBullshit says... #23
Probably the Breeding Pool. I like to know what my opponents planeswalkers do, especially if it's a Jace lol

that's "group hug" jace. The Oprah of Jaces. "YOU DRAW A CARD AND YOU DRAW A CARD AND YOU DRAW A CARD AND I DRAW A CARD ISN'T DRAWING CARDS FUN?!"

The "before Vyrn's Prodigy took over as Baby Jace, Jace"
Also known as the 3 mana kill spell for JTMS.

DERPLINGSUPREME says... #26
@Coinman1863 neither. the planeswalker would be annoying as all hell to read, and the expedition is just another land. If anything, expeditions should just stay in a fecking safe for a few years and then be sold for like, 10 times value.

oh, in case any of you don't watch LlyonTV (which you prolly don't, its a small mtgo stream on twitch) shit happened last night.
watch this shit. skip to about 1;27. its amazing

Not sure what I'm supposed to be looking at, playing two games at once? Yeah people do that.

DERPLINGSUPREME says... #29
no...
when I said 1;27 I meant 1 hour 27 minutes. I won't say what happens, mostly b/c its shock value hilarity.
actually, 1 hour 30 minutes is closer to when it happens
April 15, 2016 12:56 p.m. Edited.
That took like 7 minutes longer than it needed to. Still funny.

Does anyone watch The Blacklist? If so, WHAT THE F*CK JUST HAPPENED?
April 15, 2016 8:45 p.m.
Take the discussion about the blacklist elsewhere please. Havnt started season 3 and don't want anything spoiled. Thanks in advance.

So, during the next four weeks you guys won't have to bear ly presence on the site. I will review 2 years of 45 hours a week work during the next two weeks, and then I will challenge my fate during the famed two-weeks "concours" during which I will try my best to rank myslef high enough so I can enter the engineering schools I'd like to study at.
In France, in times like these we usually don't wish other people good luck, but instead we're saying 'em "Merde" (= shit). I really hope I won't shit myself hard, the number 1 school on my list only takes a few students in the 40 first ranked... While we are 2500 to compete.
Yet...

So, if anyone's still on the fence about grabbing Dark Souls 3, do it. It's freaking amazing. Not as good as the first (so far, I've only fought three bosses), but better than two. It's no longer just several linear paths in different directions like the second, but it isn't nearly as twisted back in on itself like the first. No more accidently finding the Valley of Drakes through Darkroot and getting into Blighttown the back way, but you aren't just walking down straight featureless roads to the next area, that is clearly unconnected in any way (looking at you Shaded Woods to Drangleic Castle).

Just got a call from on of my closest best friends. He just got back from being in the middle east. I could almost literally cry man.
April 16, 2016 4:41 p.m.
ItchiUchiha117 the game is great. Do NOT build magic though, heard it's really bad. I tried going pure faith, and it was meh until I finally cracked and went faith/str. I've killed like 6 bosses? Took me like 24 hours to get the lighting spear spell and it's not even good, and my Faith's at 30.
But yea, definitely agree. If you are a Souls fan, get the game. I think it's trying to tie DS 1 and 2 together since there are both talisman's AND chimes in the game.
And VA, nice, go grab some beers with him or something.

I've never gone pure magic. Ever since I dominated the Tower with a Combat Paladin in Demon's Souls using the full Assassin's Armor with dual combat of close range short sword and shield followed by long range halberd to force the enemy out of my distance in order to cast a heal spell safely ... I solidified my victories and always went heavy armor combat + healing. It worked in Dark Souls too, allowing me to explore areas well beyond my strength.

ItchiUchiha117 says... #40
I started as a sorcerer and have become a Dex Int build. It isn't the worst I've been in a Souls game. I'll admit that spell casting is nowhere near the powerhouse it could be in the second one, but the PvP "meta" was complete shit in that game. I also grabbed a couple points of Faith for some healing spells.
Are Lightning Spears still relegated to being complete shite? They made a mistake in the early version of Dark Souls 2, so you could have ten castings with a ridiculous amount of damage even at the lowest Faith and Attunement you could use to cast it and they've had it nerfed ever since. Maybe GLS or Sunlight Spear will be better, but I'm not really all that much of a fan of offensive miracles.

I just went quality with the Fume Greatsword, needless to say, I crush face.

I'm currently looking to complete an EDH deck by the 3rd of next month. I have something like $100 left to go in cards. I have literally no money to spend on this endeavor but I have a trade binder and a book of stamps. I'm currently moving and I need any and all cash I can scrounge together. That feel when you're spamming trade binders across TO.
Seriously though, if anyone's got Mirage printings of Enlightened Tutor or Mystical Tutor, a Tezzeret the Seeker , a Laboratory Maniac, or a Mind Over Matter, hit me up please. I've got some things of value. Fetches, shocks, walkers, thoughtseize, etc.
April 16, 2016 10:15 p.m.
DERPLINGSUPREME says... #43
@TheDevicer terribly sorry to inform you, but Tezzeret the Seeker , Laboratory Maniac, and Mind Over Matter weren't printed in mirrage
April 17, 2016 1:21 a.m.
You know my Arcanis build? Yeah, that. Except that the people at my commander league are chumps and they are scared of anything mono blue for some weird reason. So I decided it was time for Arcanis to go under cover. He contacted Hanna, Ship's Navigator for witness protection.
Basically it's the same deck with white splashed for a general that carries less social stigma, board wipes, spot removal, and enchantment/artifact break. Essentially Mind Over Matter and Future Sight combo control.

I mean, you could just make Thassa your commander.
April 17, 2016 10:10 a.m.
I wanted the commander to have some utility for me. Thassa's pretty much useless for me outside of scry. I can use Hanna to recur combo/utility pieces. It also helps that I own the land base and that my buddy has the judge promo Hanna, Ship's Navigator.

ItchiUchiha117 lightning spears are kind of garbage. Not overpowered at all damage wise (I "only" have 35 faith, and with two "increase miracle power" rings it still isn't impressive), and even with the increased casting speed ring, they are easy to dodge. Don't even love it in PvE. Just use it to pull creatures really.
The one spell I've really liked is the upgrade of the dark spell Gnaw. If it hits it causes instant bleed damage. It's a little slower than spear but it also tracks a bit. It's usually very good in PvE, and if you time it right it's not terrible in PvP.
On top of that, lighting no longer scales with faith, and some people think faith scaling is bugged. Hopefully they'll patch the damage up shortly.
