Kaze will the molestations by your uncle be hindered or heightened by the missing eye

[Khaospawn]

Canada!(or wherever Kaze is at) Nothing comes out of there except Deers and queers!

Deer Brother is Watching You!

Kaze will the molestations by your uncle be hindered or heightened by the missing eye

I like pirates, so this new development may turn out for the better in that regard. Stay tuned for results.

[Khaospawn]

Engi-deer-ed Explosives is now my new favorite card.

Michigan, Canada, same thing.

[Khaospawn]

Oh, deer....

[rcwraspy]

Canada!(or wherever Kaze is at) Nothing comes out of there except Deers and queers!

haha nice. I know this joke as "Texas - nothing comes outta there except Steers and Queers."

[rcwraspy]

And then there's California, where there are only fruits and nuts.

[redthirst]

Time to build a Xiahou Dun, the One-Eyed EDH deck in honor of your uncle.

Time to build a Xiahou Dun, the One-Eyed EDH deck in honor of your uncle.

No, you should build a junk colored deck led by Karador, Ghost Chieftain - that way you can include Xiahou Dun, but also cards like Karador and Voice of Resurgence and any other deer-related cards available.

[rcwraspy]

And you should proxy Karador's flavor text to change it to read: "Death tried to uncrown me, but I just lost an eye."

[Kaitscralt]

What happened to Kaze's uncle happened because Kaze bought Pokemon Y instead of Pokemon X and Xerneas was not amused

[hamfactorial]

"Our antlers will blot out the sun!"

"Then we will drive in the shade"

[DarthStabber]

Eye was wondeering when this stream of puns is ending? I don't find amooseing.

Edit: I'm just helkeling.

That's...just...Austin.

Don't folks in your neck of woods use pressure cookers on deer instead of chrome poisoning? Quite endeering.

The deer where I live are tiny but can ruin a car. Lately the worse thing to hit in the boonies are horses. People keep turning them loose cause they afford
to feed them.

[DarthStabber]

My uncle hit a cow once, and it damn near annihilated his car. He was also drunk so after spending a night in jail he got a new car with a shiny new breathalyzer. (Which I found it odd that his insurance paid out, not just for the car but for the breathalyzer too)

[zemanjaski]

Happy New Year from the future!

[rcwraspy]

hax

[DroppinSuga]

Moose will totally destroy just about anything. When I worked at the body shop it was crazy to see the cars post moose hit.

[Khaospawn]

In Soviet Canada, deer hunts you!

[Jack]

I'll be spending the next 7-10 hours in different airplanes and airports. I'm planning on reading as many of PV's strategy articles as I can in that time, and am very much looking forward to it. That man is a genius when it comes to Magic.

yeah PV is great. He seems to suffer from the "better lucky than good" clause, at least this past year ti seems.

Hope things pick up for him in the pro scene

Yeah, he's my favorite, mostly because he has such a great grasp of the game and is very willing to share his understanding of the finer points on how to succeed. Much
of what I read I had already learned from zem first, either because zem had read the articles well or just has the same affinity for game theory, but it really helped to read it again as a fairly strong player rather than as a beginner.

Recommended reads:
-The entire series on the different archetypes (aggro, control, combo and aggro - control, as well as midrange if you're into that sorta thing)
-playing with counterspells
-strategy and tactics
-the art of reducing variance
-seven play testing traps
-what makes good decks good (won't make you much of a better player, but it's nice)

... yeah, pretty much everything that man writes about strategy is gold.

[zemanjaski]

I think I've only read one PVDDR article, I find him a little hard to follow.

[zemanjaski]

He's probably a few too many levels above me.

[Khaospawn]

Disregard PV, acquire zemanjaski.

[zemanjaski]

Maybe the problem is inherently one of style; I favour beatdown and him control; that must affect our respective inclinations and evaluations. One thing I admire in long time control players is the ability to find and use every possible defensive resource in a position.

[LP, of the Fires]

PV is the best magic strategist writer and it's barely close.

Chapin is the only other writer who comes close. LSV is a great writer, but all his value is in his video content which is the actual factual best.

[Jack]

You and I both seem to have a very conservative play style, Zem, while still having a preference for aggro decks.

[Jack]

Reading PV's articles has really made me want to learn how to play control. I feel like I might really enjoy it, and possibly be good at it. Playing around Zem's legacy U/B definitely feels like a trial by fire, though.

[hamfactorial]

I tend to enjoy strategies that favor combat and direct damage, but I hate all-in decks that lose to inconsistencies (greedy mana, over-reliance on god hands). Where's my guru? I feel like I'm closest to Brian Kibler in style, but most of his content is behind the pay wall, making me sad.

[Jack]

Shit, my flight to Philly just got delayed 2 hours.

[Jack]

Although I guess that means more time for learning magic strategy from a Brazilian guru and enjoying amazing tales of Westeros.

Spoiler Alert

Snape is Dumbledore's bastard, the rightful heir to the Iron Throne.

I know this feel. I favor the same, and I am uninterested in paying scg.

I'm caught up with the TV series, and working my way through the books. I'm almost done ACOK now, and hoping to be ahead of the TV series before the next season starts.

Heh. If I wanted to drop $300 on Goyfs and Voice of Resurgence, I'd just play Naya Zoo and be happy.

(I probably will)

[Jack]

Is zoo even good in Modern now?

[hamfactorial]

Also thanks to everyone who mentioned that Mutavault was at $30. Sold those off immediately and started rolling around in piles of dollar bills.

[hamfactorial]

Is zoo even good in Modern now?

No idea, but I like attacking with d00dz.
