I find that the singleton rule is a lot more liberating. You get to play a lot of different things that may never have made it into the format otherwise, and you don't necessarily have to give up your deck's consistency to do so.

Besides, if you were allowed 4 of's in edh, everyone would just run esper. 4 Demonic Tutors, 4 Vampiric Tutors, 4 Mystical Tutors, 4 Enlightened tutors, 4 Sup Verdict, 4 Damnation, 4 ponder, 4 brainstorm, 4 preordain, and combo pieces. Would be kinda dumb.

I kinda like the idea of a Kaervek the Merciless / Mogis, God of Slaughter staxy deck :P
May 7, 2015 10:08 p.m.
I just don't know enough artifacts that are playable that wouldn't see play otherwise. Commander does look fun though, just need to learn the format better.

Also could you imagine decks with 4x each Sol Ring, Mana Crypt, Mana Vault, and Exploration?

Femme_Fatale says... #8
Fuck. Imperial Seal and Mana Crypt would go through the fucking roof. The banlist would turn into Duel Commander.
In fact, it'd be like 100 card legacy+vintage.

fuckin shit that would be more broken than goddamn Metaknight

I never realized how much crap was in my dorm until I had to pack it all up.

SYMBOL TEST!
... hurrr ...
The card descriptions are borked for some reason.

Exalted (Whenever a creature you control attacks alone, that creature gets +1/+1 until end of turn.)
: Add , , or to your mana pool.
Like, I can't figure out why the symbols behave perfectly normally in comments but make entire paragraphs disappear in the card descriptions.

...metaknight? Who plays metaknight? He's like... the worst character in the game.
May 7, 2015 11:07 p.m.
And that's been consistent for multiple smash bros games.

I have a scholarship that's due in 51 minutes at 11:59 PM. i need motivation. halp
May 7, 2015 11:09 p.m.
Epochalyptik says... #18
Why do you need us to motivate you to get a scholarship? If you're not motivated enough to get it on your own, you don't deserve it.
Academia is ruthlessly competitive. There are thousands of people who will snatch that money from your grasp and shut the door on your hand on the way out. Step up or step aside.
May 7, 2015 11:10 p.m.
NoPantsParade says... #19
That's the thing. I'm not sure if I even qualify for it. I go to a Catholic school, and the scholarship is in honor of a very religious alumni who recently passed away. The mom is looking for someone who displays Catholic characteristics and whatnot. And I'm not Catholic, and the school knows that, so I have no idea if I would have a chance. Hence, I'm having difficulties starting this thing. Eh, I might as well go for it.
May 7, 2015 11:14 p.m.
Epochalyptik says... #20
Take that angle on it, then. If it's known that you're not Catholic, argue that you uphold many values that happen to also be central to Catholicism.

I think I've gotten this figured out. This is really weird. Why do colons interfere with our syntax?
May 7, 2015 11:19 p.m.
ThisIsBullshit says... #22
Femme: why the hell would any of us plebs know that?
May 7, 2015 11:21 p.m.
Femme_Fatale says... #23
The exact interference pattern is this:
Any paragraph that begins with a bracket, and has a colon in it that follows immediately after a bracket, will disappear. This only applies to that one particular paragraph, and does not effect other paragraphs don't follow the above criteria.
May 7, 2015 11:24 p.m.
More mathematical frustration. Nothing makes you lose motivation like constantly running into dead ends.
May 7, 2015 11:39 p.m.
Has anyone else here heard of Nightcore? Just saw a post about it on Imgur, watched some vids on youtube, and it's fucking awesome.
May 8, 2015 12:48 a.m.
GoldGhost012 says... #28
I've been pretty into Nightcores for the past few months. Some of it is rather bad, but a lot of them are really fucking good, imo. I've actually listened to most of the songs on that list.

Sorry bros but glitch hop and electro swing is where it's at
May 8, 2015 1:06 a.m.
Listened to like 10 songs. Some were very good some just sounded like chipmunks on speed.
Never heard electro swing but I can't stand glitch hop, dunno how you can listen to that.
May 8, 2015 2:01 a.m.
Right wing won. It's a really good time to be rich right now.

Damn blasted media attributes ... trying to assign different columns to different device resolutions ...
May 8, 2015 6:40 a.m.
Damn, that music was an insult to the original song.
I mostly listen Hip-Hop (aka RAP) and a little bit of pop and a bit of Rock.

Sorry to hear it bell. Our elections are coming up too and i fear what this country will become under Clinton
May 8, 2015 9:23 a.m.
VampireArmy says... #38
Her current campaign (at least the last I'd seen of it) was "vote for me so i can be the first female president" that rubs me wrong.
Her opponents however don't have a clear case either since they seem to be concerned with bringing up her adulterous husband as proof against her. The states are going to be pretty heated here soon.

Yeah, it seems like it's a choice between bad and worse these days.

US politics needs the ohthenoises post about points.
No substance, just pandering. Limiting to 2 choices(parties) actually gives us 0 choices. The whole system is set up to appease, and pacify the masses so we just go with it.
May 8, 2015 10:04 a.m.
Clinton has way too much dirt that she's tried to sweep under the rug. I can't see her becoming president with everything her opponents can use against her.
May 8, 2015 10:04 a.m.
ThisIsBullshit says... #44
It just seems it's "don't vote for them because they're republican and bad" or "don't vote for them because omg scandal and besides they're democratic" and there's nothing actually trying to pay off the debt or healthcare or social security or a whole other slew of things that this country should fix.

And then there was the government shut down that left my father out of work for no good reason other than "well if i can't get my way I'm taking my toys and going home" people need to be fired.

I haven't been following it.
I still need to sell all my shit. I could probably get a vacation and a car out of my collection. If I felt like replacing my current one.
May 8, 2015 11:24 a.m.
Seriously. Don't be worried about government deficits - just be worried about debt. A deficit is usually indicative of pouring money into the country which increases job opportunities for the most part. Don't let poor economists try to tell you that deficit and debt are always bad. Do not equate a countries doubt with the debt of a family - they're completely different.

To be frank, it's actually astonishing that Hillary is even still around after what happened with Benghazi. If that fuck up had happened to any male politician, their career would have been long dead.

EDH is for when you need to prove to your friends that you can win without super consistency every single time. Unless you go hardcore, and then it's just like Modern only more intense.
