nah but they were both in shock still. We all waited for the police to arrive and they sobriety tested the dude. They had us leave before that finished though so I'm not sure if he passed or failed.

Well my EMA box was really good, My box was basically payed for by a Karakas, Wasteland, Foil Sylvan Library, and foil Sneak Attack. Plus I got other good stuff of course.
June 11, 2016 7:32 p.m.
VampireArmy damn, were they ok?
And yea, my box was kind of garbage, but I took third in our 32 person draft with UB control. Peregrine drake and man o war are freakin busted commons (had two and three respectively). And I got passed a fact or fiction and that 7 mana retrace spell that makes 5/5 flying elementals. Those, along with opening a maze of ith, braid/, and sylvan library made for an awesome deck.
Though to be sure, blue and red are easily the best colors. Red has way too much haste and removal, and the red common creatures are real fucking good.
All in all, super fun draft format. Definitely going to cube it up with some changes (like no mana crypt, etc.)
June 12, 2016 4:26 p.m.
My box was really good. Pulled a vamp tutor, jace and a karakas along with a foil mystical tutor. Got pretty much every card from the set that I wanted besides Force of Will and Mana Crypt, but I'm definitely not complaining.

Wanna trade that Jace? lol
On a somewhat related note, I got a SoI booster pack from a friend as a graduation present and although I am notorious within our group for my shitty pulls, I got a foil Westvale Abbey Flip. Which makes like the second most expensive card I've ever pulled

So if anyone's paid any attention to the .gifs I spam or read my posts, they'll probably have picked up that I like anime quite a bit. I particularly love stuff by KyoAni. I recently went back and rewatched K-On. Damn is it a fine show! People are so quick to dismiss it because it's "yet another moe-blob, cute-girls-doing-cute-things anime" but it's so much more! It's probably the best slice of life I've seen to date and that's my favorite genre.
June 12, 2016 6:26 p.m.
TheDevicer is it up beat? I generally find the laid back-ness of the slice of life genre super depressing.
Dont like the nostalgia factor I think. Makes me miss my high school and college friends. Couldn't get past episode 3 in anohana; reminded me of one of my high school friends who died in a car crash a few years ago.
Not the episode itself, as there's nothing relating to car crashes, but the just general depression the characters had about their dead friend.

Everyone was okay. The guy likely went to jail though because I'm 90% he was drunk.

So guys, I picked up an English P3K Ravages of War Recently and I have been debating whether or not to get it klug altered.
What are your thoughts?
If I was to get it altered I would either use this or this as the reference image, so which one do would you all like better if I got it altered?
June 12, 2016 7:39 p.m.
Late to this thread by a lot :). I'm poor so I got one pack of ema and got belcher and foil counter spell! Got there.
Also, VampireArmy, you pulled people out of a burning truck? That's badass.
June 12, 2016 7:49 p.m.
Oh. Anohana wrecked me with feels just as bad as K-On did.
K-On's generally a very laid back anime in that very little is ever going on at once and the overarching narrative and character progression (which definitely exist, don't let people tell you otherwise) all occur slowly.
The show begins as four very different people enter into their school's light music club (music's not a huge focus, so don't enter into the show with that expectation) for their own reasons. Over the course of the show, you'll see the girls slowly develop their relationship to one another through their club and music. It's these relationships that are the real payoff of the show. Although the progression in the show is generally slow, the girls play off each other incredibly well and are surprisingly complex characters in their own right. This happens to such a stunning degree that they have all undergone considerable changes by the series' conclusion.
Based on your comment, I think the ending to this anime (movie included) will fucking annihilate you. I cried almost all the way through one of the episodes. If you ever decide to watch this show, you'll know which one I'm talking about.
The show isn't melodramatic and doesn't use cheap feels play things up for effect. My reaction was a sincere response to sympathizing with the things the characters were going through because they had thoroughly won me over since well before the halfway point of the show.
Overall, the tone of the show is incredibly lighthearted with an air of your dreaded nostalgia looming over it. I know it'll be hard for you, but I still recommend you watch it. The same goes for Anohana. It's an incredibly well written show even if it indulges in melodrama more than it probably should.
@Coinman1863 - Oh my God yes

TheDevicer, which art should be reference doe, I'm torn...
June 12, 2016 8:16 p.m.
Sorry tibs, I'm looking at trading it for a lily.
I think you go with the first. You really get more of the feeling of destruction, like with what's happening to everyone's lands.
June 12, 2016 8:44 p.m.
ThisIsBullshit says... #19
The first just looks like a lot of fire to me and I like how much more detail the second one has, but perhaps the first is what you're looking for. Idk
June 12, 2016 9:10 p.m.
Coinman1863 So I googled "Ravages of War", and apparently there was a Polish artist called Artur Grottger from the mid 1800's who actually has a piece called "Ravages of War". It's not 100% thematic, as there are no dying samurai, but it's quite interesting, and would probably be easier to fit on a card.
And Devicer, yea, I guess i'll add it to my to watch list. Dunno if/when i'll get around to it.

That's... pretty awesome. Congratulations on that.
June 13, 2016 3:47 p.m.
VampireArmy oh, lol. I knew it was just on its side, how did I arrive at that statement? I need to stay off the internet when I'm tired.
June 13, 2016 4:53 p.m.
So I got bored and decided to alter some basics. I wanted to use up my damaged basics from my days of sleeveless play. So I decided to black out everything except the text bars and the mana symmbol. I also kept most of the art, and blacked out specific portions. The islands and mountains look pretty good, but the swamps SUCK. which is sad because black is my favorite color. The symbol and most art on swamps is dark, so the symbol dissapears, while the art doesn't really get affected. So now I need to make an izzet deck that runs basics. Time to join pauper.

So, I bought some packs of Eternal Masters today. My first packs of EMA, in fact. Pack 1, was a Force of Will. Done! Retire champion!

Coinman1863 says... #28
ItchiUchiha117 I actually need that FoW, would you be willing to trade it for anything?
June 14, 2016 6:01 p.m.
ItchiUchiha117 says... #29
Well, I don't really know what you have. Do you have a link to an external site with you binder? Because you don't seem to have one on here.

Coinman1863 says... #30
ItchiUchiha117, I enabled chat so we can talk, I don't trade enough to keep a binder up, so I'll tell you what I have to trade there.
June 14, 2016 10:30 p.m.
Idk how to do the pics on this site. I can text them to you, but that wont do much for all the other patrons of this site

I have great hype. Eternal Masters released on the day of my graduation. Now it's time to draft with Pro_Noob, Inquisitor000, and some other plebs who need to git gud and be on TO.
June 16, 2016 12:57 p.m.
Coinman1863 says... #35
ABadMagicPlayer100 if any of you pulls a FoW or Wasteland and is willing to trade it, I'm up for trading, cause I need it.
June 16, 2016 1:37 p.m.
That was a thoroughly enjoyable draft. Pack 1 Wasteland pack 2 someone got a Jace, the Mind Sculptor, and some other stuff like Sylvan Library, foil Braids, Cabal Minion, Icy Manipulator, Void, Inkwell Leviathan, and some jank. Overall, I now own a fun cube. I might trade the wasteland later on, but for now I need to see what direction the cube is going to go before I trade it off.
June 16, 2016 7:47 p.m.
Also I got Necropotence and a nevs disk. Apparently. I never saw the disk.

Holy shit guys, my lgs is selling EMA boosters at the price of 17,5 fucking euros! It's more than the double of the MRSP O-O
I'll never touch a single one in my whole life at that rate. X)
June 18, 2016 5:04 a.m.
DERPLINGSUPREME says... #39
at mine they're going for 12.50, so 25% more than msrp.
Probably not as bad as other places, I guess.

Nah. Unless they bring in mods in like they did with fo4.

TIL that there are less than 1000 of each English P3K rare in existence. Kinda scares me a bit now that I own a ravages. O_O

ThisIsBullshit says... #45
Coinman I swear if you mention that you have a ravages one more time I'm gonna fuckin take it from you
June 19, 2016 11:52 a.m.
So i've been messing around with a "casual" Prossh EDH deck. Non combo, dragon reanimator. It's very fun. Using Chandra's Ignition on a Hellkite Overlord while you have a Whip of Erebos in play is very, very satisfying.

ThisIsBullshit ok, I'll stop, I'm just a guy who likes facts, that it, also no alters for it, too damn rare for that.
