Dies to Removal

Maybe it's that oh so sexy avvy?

Magic related. I had a UW player board in pithing needle against me and name Chandra. I won because lol UW but does anyone think it's reasonable for the control player to board in needle vs. Mono-red(hammer/Chandra being the only real targets). Theoretically, then can afford to go down a card, but it still seemed loose.

Redthirst is the next Kony

Special.

I'm not sure lawful neutral is 100% accurate for me, but eh.

Well, apparently I give off the impression that I'm out blowing shit up and shooting people for no reason, so

It's when you repeatedly say "I'm not crazy" more than 2 times in response to someone asking "are you OK" as I just asked this woman. I work at airport. On Monday I had a visitor wondering why planes were flying over their house. I asked where she lived and
her response was "I just moved in next door and keep seeing airplanes over my air space!". "What is number to the FAA to report them." She is terrified of these planes flying (landing) over her house.

I've learned that if someone has to keep telling people they're not _______, then that's a pretty good sign that they are.

"I'm not crazy."
"I'm not drunk."
"I'm not stupid."
"I know my rights."

Identity Nemesis [mana]1UU[/mana]

Creature - Merfolk Rogue

As Identity Nemesis enters the battlefield, choose a player.

Identity Nemesis has protection from that player. (This creature cannot be blocked, targeted, damaged or enchanted by a source controlled by that player.)

3/1

I'm not drunk.

Wait, yes I am.

TvTropes lists Knight in Sour Armor as a possible example of neutral good alignment. Yeah, that fits.

"The world is filled with idealists who believe in truth, justice and all that stuff and devote their lives to fighting for it. And then the world keeps letting them down. For them, Being Good Sucks. But rather than giving up on their goals, they replace their shiny armor with full plate of pure cynicism. These characters realize they live in a dark, cruel and brutal world and choose to fight not because they believe they will truly make a difference, but because it's the right thing to do."

I exist outside the realm of plebeian morality and ethics. Such things have no place in the realms of gods! I can remake entire digital worlds in my image!!

Or that of reds sig pic....mmmm....

Protection is not well-defined, and that irks me.

"Target player can't do shit to it."

The way the reminder text is worded says it can't be blocked, either, but I don't think that falls under protection from a player. Clearly it does, based on how they reworded it, but it doesn't seem consistent with protection from a color.

It recognizes that any sources/permanents (creatures and Spells) from named player cannot target or block it. Simple and quite brutal when paired with equipment. Why can't red get this shit? It Kind of screams, "to the dome!".

It cannot be targeted by a source controled by target player.
It cannot be damaged by a source controlled by target player.
It cannot be blocked by a creature controlled by target player.
It cannot be Enchanted by a source controlled by target player.

It can still be effected by a source controlled by target player as long as the source doesn't use one of the above means (i.e. Wrath of God).

It does. Protection from a color doesn't allow creatures of that color to block -
Protection from a player doesn't allow creatures controlled by that player to block.

Same thing.

If you are running mutavault then needling mutavault is an okay call. I had one player needle chandra (and I wasn't even running her), then he needled mutavault, which is surprisingly annoying, and it forced me to just throw burn at his face. In another test they needled satyr, which was also really annoying, but made little difference. Ultimately we are not the deck that you need
to side needle in for. If you were running a member swallower variant, maybe hitting es is important, and maybe chandra, but ultimately neither is good cause to board in needle, but I have seen some control decks main deck needle since they otherwise board it in so often.

Needle -> Chandra is annoying as shit.

But if they're playing a do-nothing card in order to turn one of your cards into a do-nothing card then you're still coming out even unless you draw multiple Chandras.

Yeah, I was wondering really if the UW player SHOULD have brought needle in against me and since I drew a Chandra and still beat him, it seemed mediocre, but at the same time, Chandra is one of my 3 best cards against UW and needle's a 1-mana answer so maybe it's actually awesome vs. us?

Not that it matters in the big scheme of things because the match is highly favorable, just something I thought about.

It seems like a good tactic, since Needle effectively removes all of your Chandras while Hero's Downfall only removes 1.

In Modern, Hate Bears used Phyrexian Revoker on Chandra and Liliana (jund) on me game 1. Really annoying and random. There is more than just Pithing Needle to worry about.

This is fucking gold.

Reminds me of the old Saturday Night Live's phone company commercial. A middle aged women beating her elbows on the billing type writer saying, "we're the phone company; we don't care"

My favorite one so far:

COWORKER: Can I see your ID?
GUEST: You think I’m a fucking CRIMINAL?!?!?

James, you're gonna have Alex's skirt in such a bunch with all these intriguing decks...posted here lololol!

Baiting the prince aside, do you want any of these posted elsewhere for future consideration? Just lmk where (Standard or Brewery) as I don't mind a bit copying them over.

Impossible, I've basically stopped checking the site. Decided to let the cards fall as they may. No point in being one of like two people putting in an effort.

I'm legit here right now because I'm on the toilet.

While staying at Yellow Stone National Forest, an Oriental Couple approached the counter in front of us trying to book their room. The concierge asked for an ID and the Oriental male, in poor English pronunciation, said, 'Sorry, we only know "Beaver"'. I died laughing as the concierge was still looking mystified.

Is that "protection from a player card " a real card?

Yup. New Commander 2013 card.

Don't overreact or anything.

And Legacy>back just got another Merfolk bomb.

Oh man...fuck yeah.

I hope red gets some goodies. My bitches are starved for new toys.

So far there are still 29 new cards to spoil and red has seen very little, so fingers crossed.

Give me fuel, give me fire, give me that which I desire

A decent legendary dude with pro-white and, most definitely pro-blue, would be nice. Batter damn well be jund colored.

I need more toolbox goblins.

toolbox... giggity

The definition of insanity would be to keep doing the same thing and expect different results.

tl;dr: I could write and make content here for free and continue to have my efforts shit on, or I could do it for Manadeprived and get paid.

Canadians right?

PS: It has nothing to do with FoS, it's the rest of the website I'm sick of.

Yeah mana deprived are pretty sweet; when I was in talks with them they were great. Good luck with it, let me know if I can help in any way!

Canadians right?

Yep. Doing that stream last week really got me wanting to do more. Decided to put some of my work out to some sites to see if I could get any response.

...so far it has mostly been League of Legends stuff though.

Can't fault you for that.
