Dies to Removal

Shoryuken is better.

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.

Article is UP!

Excellent read Z, even from someone who's been playing the deck forever. Good work!

Comments = more interest = more articles, so help a redbro out.

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!

Awesome article, James. Shame you need a Facebook to comment v.v

If it doesn't generate absurd amounts of comments in the next few days like it should I'll happily make one just for you.

I would comment, but I don't have a Facebook. I'm sure our other brothers in fire will back you up, though
It's a damn shame that they put "Travis Woo's" Blightsteel brew above your article.

Any traffic helps. Any feedback welcome!

Seriously CFB pays REALLY well...

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

Commented

Also, this article just reminded me how badly I want/need to switch from mono red pyro to walter white... Specially if I plan on going to an IQ this weekend...

Blargle... Manabases are expensive...

Congrats, James...a well-reasoned and artfully presented accounting of the development of the deck. I will post comments over there as soon as I get to a non-firewalled comp!

Well, now I have somewhere to point my playgroup on since they love articles. Now maybe I can convince them to let me use that extra Chandra I need...

Excellent article zem. Allow me to throw a few questions to possibly promote discussion.

Well done, z. I'll comment in the morning when I'm more coherent.

'night, all.

Blargle, I'm just gonna have to suck it up and run mono-red at the IQ. Though i am tempted to steal MDU's sideboard tech vs mono-u.

Might buy the boros manabase with my Hanukkah money e.e

James,

Great fucking article, man! Love the title, too.

If I have to create a Facebook just to comment, I will.

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.

Everybody loves you. I foresee them asking you to write more articles.

This might be bad taste to ask, but whoever it was (presumably from here) who commented, who had the last name Moriarty? PLEASE become a college teacher...

(If you need to ask why, then you need to go get cultured ;P)

That's awesome.

You know how I know you're gay? You like Coldplay.

I resemble and resent that remark!

You know how I know you're gay? You explicitly said so.

Hmm... I wasn't aware coldplay was one of the stereotypical gay bands... I'll see if my gay friends are into them, for corroboration

Great article Zem, commented, linked to my FB and added you on FB

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.

True, true... I shall have to amend my list...

Redthirst's Penis (it is its own being)
Redthirst
Johnny Depp
Neil Patrick Harris
Till Lindemann (Rammstein's vocalist)
Brandon Sanderson (author)
Joss Whedon


How does that look?

It's kind of like leaving a plate of cookies out for Santa Clause.

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...

Grats Zem, you deserved that with all the hardwork.
Salute'.

Great job, Zem.

Did you approach them or did they get in contact with you about writing for them? They'd ideally be where I do my video content. (Just hoping to make enough to make every event I play in a freeroll basically.)

They contacted me. PM me to discuss.

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.

Read the article last night. Great job zem. Ill leave a facebook comment later today.

Loved the article. If I had FB, I'd comment.

Hell, I'll probably jack Jen's FB account some time later and comment anyway.

Also, it's inspired me to try maybe splashing a little something into BigDumbDargons.dec

Is there a Todd Koson or do I have my first mtg groupie?

Is there a Todd Koson or do I have my first mtg groupie?

Don't be dense, James...this clan EXISTS because a bunch of us started out at your groupies!

Just ribbing you, sir...I don't know of a Todd among us...
