Nice thing about boosters being ~3.3 tix right now is that even if you only win the first round of an 8-man you're still in the money.

James, I read your article. Nicely done! The only thing that I have to say (and I say this about many pieces of writing) is that it would be so much better with swearing!

Commented on the article. Anything to help a redbro out.

also the quip about selesnya was funny. No matter what I can't convince the local players that GW aggro is linear and bad and my (well, your) deck is non linear and skill intensive.

Oh well, it'll keep red cards cheap

Whatever, Khaos is a Viking - he's taken your idea and made it his now.

I'm afraid there's nothing you can do.
Damn, that guy just cannot be stopped.
First I take people's ideas. Then, their women.

You know how I know you're gay? You like Coldplay.
I resemble and resent that remark!

thanks to nbw for the sig.
You do need to try to gay it up a little more.

You're like the least gay member of this clan.

And that's counting the fact that you voluntarily have sex with men.

Also, this is something I love to bring up. I find it is true in 9/10 cases, whether you are gay or straight, that you have a 'list' of people you would go gay/straight for.
(Aka, I'm straight, but would go gay for Johnny Depp, for instance.)

It seems like guys, either gay or straight, have them slightly more often then women, but it's still a fairly common thing...

What about y'all? Do you have lists/who's on them?


For fairness's sake, my list has only a few 'evergreen' members:
Johnny Depp
Neil Patrick Harris
Till Lindemann (Rammstein's vocalist)
Brandon Sanderson (author)
Joss Whedon

Raida, I should think by now you would have this one down...redthirst's member will tolerate no other idol to stand before it.



I mean, seriously. It crushes them into a meaty pulp.

Except for Khaos, of course...I think it's because he leaves it an extra six-pack in the fridge every Friday night that it lets him wander astray.

You'd think that leaving out an orifice wold go over better. Though, when it's as mighty as it is, I guess it doesn't matter if the orifice was left out or not... It'll take it anyway...

My opponent was at 13 life with a lone Rakdos Cackler. I swung in with 8 power, and cracked my chandra for ultimate.

No burn spotted in top 10 cards (I was at one life).

First time Chandra ever failed her ultimate, and it was freaking hilarious.
