Dies to Removal

Reality is a dream; dreams are your spirit trying to break free of the ruse that is this world.

US Social security is a ponzi scheme being exploited by the baby boomers.

Be not fooled, for it is in fact not butter.

So what do you guys think of flamespeaker adept for block constructed? When we finally get the izzet scryland, it can combine with thassa, titan's strength, magma jet, voyages's end, and dissolve for synergy while also being good on their own merit, and all of a sudden aqueous form might actually have a job. I'm putting together a pet/casual deck for standard at the moment, since I currently only have theros to work with in block, but botg will probably let me take the training wheels off (unless we don't get the UR scry, and it looks like we won't). It's probably not a good deck, but I'm liking the synergy. I haven't tested it yet but here's my tentative list (mostly 4 ofs because I am not sure where to go with it):
[Deck]
Dudes
4 flamespeaker adept
4 omenspeaker
4 blistercoil weird
2 thassa, god of the sea

Enchantments
4 aqueous form

nSpells
4 dissolve
4 voyage's end
4 magma jet
4 spark jolt
4 titan's strength

Lands
4 steam vents
4 izzet guildgate
6 mountain
8 island

Looks spicy. Stymied hopes playable? It's certainly MUCH better in Limited then I anticipated.

Also, was there a talk about Cloud Atlas Recently? I just watched it and thought it was a pretty cool movie.

Stymied hopes seems interesting, but not promising. Might give it a try.

"I have no fear of death. It just means dreaming in silence. A dream that lasts for eternity."

"I'll meet you at the end of this world."

Better? y/y?

It's just Z was always alone, never anyone to share the game.

Yeah, we discussed Cloud Atlas about three dozen pages ago. Opinions seem to be evenly split between it either being awe inspiring or unwatchable garble. I'm in the awe inspiring camp. I walked out of the theater absolutely blown away by what I had just seen.

Also, wtf am I doing awake right now?!?

Cloud Atlas was really cool, I need to watch it again. It's one of those movie you have to discuss afterwards, since all aspects didn't open up right away.

About Magic Online...the start up package seems to include a bunch of cards (the sign up page mention over 650 cards). What are these? Can they be used in Standard Events? And Pauper Events (2-mans and 8-mans) have the same price support as similar Standard and Modern events, right?

I will make a facebook for no other reason than to comment on your article if the next one ends with "see ya, space cowboy".

EDIT: Excellent work, as usual.

Pretty much what I did. Except I can feel the power of Facebook beginning to take hold....beware its power!

I don't know about the bunch of you, my friend...bloody night spooks you are! Chelle has been up teasing me (you can imagine) via text until just recently after waking middle o' the night. At least I have a good excuse for being up...I guess we're going to have start throwing parties that start 'round about midnight and carry on through the morning 'til we collapse.

Oh, my brother, you don't even know...the seduction...

Just a humble bounty hunter ma'am.

Why won't you die?

Turn 2 Liliana into Turn 3 JTMS wheeeeeee

Opponent "nice nut draw"
Me "I'm playing control, tremendous thought went into this"

Upon further consideration of the flamespeaker deck concept I am working will probably be better served as a casual deck for the time being. Augury owl could be a fun include, as could crystal ball. cryptic annelid seems to be a touch ridiculous, but in a fun way.

You, sir, are worse than Hitler.

Anyone unfortunate enough to read Woo's Article on Delver for Modern? If so, is he always such a prick to his fanbase? how does he maintain such a following?

people like the self satisfied know it all persona? People I think like to brew, and woo gives them the smug "yeah man, this deck is so anti meta! It has like no bad match ups! What do you mean it would be better with bolt? No, boot is too mainstream, vapor snag is better anyways..." Woo gives them that shit.

(Also if you didn't kno he stole z's deck And passed it off as his, so we automatically hate him)

I read it. He's a bottom-feeder with a knack for over-hyping things. He speaks to the little Timmies of the world and feeds their dreams with lies.

Travis Woo is fucking obnoxious. So are nearly all his decks.

Young Pyromancer has become my signature card this season, and after the last article, opponent's recognize my deck.

Your editor's suck, zem.

Yeah I noticed a few errors that were not in my submitted final copy that were added post submission...awkard.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to find out Travis Woo is really white and that he just stole someone else's skin and called it his own.


Travis Woo in the mirror: Would you fuck me? I'd fuck me. I'd fuck the shit out of me.

I like his explanation re: sledgehammer red.

"There are a lot of ideas floating around, people come up with similar ideas all the time"

"You clearly read the thread and copied the list; you did so on stream there is video evidence"

School's closed for me; slept in 'til 9

Just let me know several weeks in advance, so I can prepare for it by getting copious amounts of extra sleep. I need to prepare for these things, dammit!


Looking around fb, it seems like a lot of people had restless nights last night. I wonder what was going on.

You lucky fuck

Nope. That, and several other items were specifically addressed.

Continuing the coincidence train, I was totally unable to sleep last night. Only got 5 hours all told, and woke up twice.

Read/watched some of Travis Woo's work. Bottom feeder with no charm at all. Sad. CHF needs to again...have more standards.

Finally read some of your work Zem! Nice to put a face to the name. In Texas, thats a greating. Nice to meet you.

This sleep thing is kinda messing with my head because I'm listening to "The Strain" by Guillermo del Toro. I'm in the progression of events in which the people of NYC are starting to realize that something is terribly wrong and are growing fearful of the night and of sleeping...shivers. Again in the truth stranger than fiction vein, I would not be surprised to find that we had some sort of low-level seismic event or the like last night.

Got bored enough to read through the last page of Blathering - found this gem:
