I'm usually only ok with proxies if you have the card just not with you or if you intend to buy the card soon and just can't for whatever reason
My playgroup doesn't allow proxies when playing for money but other games are fine
Generally the rule is no proxying cards like timetwister unless it's in the mail to you.

@Huckster2015 I won't talk about how people feel about proxies, but it sounds like you're looking for a good proxy site, so here you go http://magic.bluebones.net/proxies/

Finally finished Touhou 15 on Easy. Fuck me, I'm rusty. God damn Clownpiece. This is the spellcard that keeps fucking me over:
Granted, it's on a lower difficulty, but whatever. Stupid creepy smiling clown fairy...
Her theme though... It's so good. I love the shit out of this music box arrange of her theme.
Now that I got that taken care of, dear Clownpiece:

So much stuff... holy shit. Planeschase is back. Kaladesh is visited. Commander 2016 has 4 color legends. Duel Deck: Nissa vs Ob Nixilis. And of course, Conspiracy: Take the Crown.
Damn, that's a lot of good stuff.

Their reasoning for announcing this all at once can be summed up in three words:
PREPARE YOUR WALLET
May 16, 2016 11:36 a.m.
I need to buy some commander cards, a new computer, and some other irl things. My wallet is not ready.

Guys! It's Steamflogger Boss's time to get a set!!!
Riggers here we come!!!!
May 16, 2016 1:10 p.m.
Ohthenoises says... #19
Is it just me or are they going through their future sight mechanics and checking them off the list?
Delve, delirium, and now riggers.
May 16, 2016 1:34 p.m.
GoldGhost012 says... #20
I don't think delirium is a Future Sight mechanic. It's a change to threshold.
May 16, 2016 1:46 p.m.
Ohthenoises says... #22
It's not threshold guys, it's a fixed goyf ability. (Who was printed in future sight)
May 16, 2016 2:23 p.m.
I completely forgot about Riggers. Are they confirmed?
Also, I gots Twitter.
May 16, 2016 2:49 p.m.
GoldGhost012 says... #26
Nah, we're all all hyping Riggers hoping for the day.
I'm thinking of getting MTGO just so I can draft all day on my days off.

All the sets have been added. And fixed. Damn it Conspiracy.

Huckster2015 says... #28
If It helps I plan on buying the cards as I find them at a reasonable price in shops... lol everything got stolen years ago and I quiet for about a decade and I just can't stay away anymore but thanks for the feed back everyone and I agree no proxy decks and money in the same game that just doesn't sound feasible

Guys, opinion time.
In a Mono U tron shell I'm having a decision crisis on the splash. B for dismember and the fixing Urborg offers or W and the Path/Disenchant/Leyline but no exceptional fixing.
Dismember is great but since Spatial Contortion was printed Dismember has kind of fallen by the wayside.
On the W side, Path is ALWAYS great but less great when you're trying to beat your opponent by beating them on the mana curve, kinda iffy sometimes. However, backed up with counterspells I'm not sure how much that applies.
Overall the W has better Tech but B has always been solid.
May 17, 2016 6:33 p.m.
I feel like you want disenchant more than dismember. Being able to beat stony silence really helps.
May 17, 2016 6:35 p.m.
Ohthenoises says... #33
Well, Repeal helps with that but I know what you mean

Finally got around to doing that free upgrade to Windows 10. If anyone has yet to do that, it stops being free at the end of July.

elpokitolama says... #37
Well, if anyone wants to do it for free past this date, I can help them. Not sure that it will work, but it would still be worth the shot :3

Femme_Fatale says... #38
Is it even worth it though? After Windows 8, I really don't want to bother. Windows 7 is fine for me and I don't want to deviate to far from the original XP experience.

After trying to get a custom scroll done and trying to alter an RGB image to a CYMK one, I noticed something that really surprised me. Can you guess what plane the following image takes place on?
It's something that I really can't unsee and draws my attention every single time.
May 18, 2016 6:27 p.m.
Femme_Fatale I know there's another chandra/lili pic like that floating around which was done by a professional mtg artist, which i assume this is based on, but no, i don't know what plane it's supposed to be on.
And as far as windows 7 vs 8.1 vs 10 goes, I think 8.1 and 10 are both much, much better than 7 was. 8.1 is a little... odd, compared to xp and 7, but you sorta get used to it, and while I don't have a lot of experience using 10, I think it looks very, very sleek, and it does remind me a lot of windows xp. And if you're using 8 on a computer without a touch screen (what I was doing), you never have to use the weird app page.
May 18, 2016 6:33 p.m. Edited.
Yea here, Steve Argyle drew this a while ago, and i'm sure it's what the pic you posted is based on

Innistrad. The light that's shining on them is in the shape of Avacyn's Collar. Very subtle and I quite like it.

By the by, who's the artist for the one you posted, Femme?

So, my friends convinced me to go boar hunting with him this August. Somewhat terrified about getting charged at by one of these fuckers, but it sounds kind of fun.
May 18, 2016 8:44 p.m.
And now he tells me it's bows or crossbows only. I'm gonna die.
May 18, 2016 8:49 p.m.
PistonGolem says... #47
Sounds like you will keep busy there. It sounds hard to get boar-ed... (Yes, I just did that)

There is no known artist ItchiUchiha117. The only current existing form of that image is on reddit when doing extensive searches.

Femme_Fatale I'm late, but if you still have Windows 7, don't bother with the update. It's already a good OS, no need to upgrade it. :)

So yesterday at 5:45 pm, I sat down to take the calc 3 quiz that is pretty much the one thing that can save my grade. If I pass it, my teacher drops my lowest quiz, which was like a 20 out of 50, so not good at all and we only have 4 quizzes in that class so I was a little nervous. studied for a solid 6 hours straight right before showing up just like everyone else. he walks in asks if we have any questions for him, and hands out the quizzes. I was a little scared then because it was a giant document like 15 pages long. at that point when I was about to have a heart attack, he says "well this quiz is take home, so don't work with more than 2 people. have a good weekend, class dismissed. the quiz is due Monday." best surprise that could have happened, because it also turns out the printer wouldn't print double sided, so it was the same length as normal, and I got out of class 5 minutes into the 2 hour class period.

I play edh in two ways. First is real cards at my shop. Second is no bars full proxy decks in a meta where everyone does it. That means everyone's rocking mana crypt, mana drain, etc.
My group of friends likes to play like this as it takes away barriers to building decks. From what I've seen, people hate this. They loathe the idea of having to play in a group where everything goes. The general reaction is that at the highest levels of play, the game stops being fun. People are usually either ok with proxies within reason or they think proxies are the work of the devil.
