Dies to Removal

Hai Gaiz. I've been drunk all weekend. Cause nobody cares about the hangovers future Kincey has to deal with.

Apparently, people in the financial sector prefer to hire magic players over other people because the skillsets are similar if anyone cares.

Also, finished 1-5-1 individually in a team sealed tourney this weekend. Guess I'm still terrible at limited. At least the last round, got to scoop our friends into the money(team events are weird, especially when done via swiss and not standings) and opened kiora, mogis, xenagos walker, and random other value cards.

BTW Modern tournament today with Kiki Pod.
Won 2-0 against Infect, lost 2-1 from UWR after a misplay in game 3, lost 2-1 from MARTYR after 4 dead draws (Kiki-Jiki on the field, needed Exarch, Restoration or Chord, seen NONE of them), won against Scapeshift, lost against monoU howling turns control, regequitted the whole thing.

Trying to decide if I should take Zoo or Kikipod to next weeks FNM.

Zoo is a
lot more straightforward than Pod - if you've got the time to test it out, I assure you that Pod is a lot of fun but it's a deck that presents you lots of choices and, if you're a noob like me, those decks are pretty risky.
It's not like Zoo is "simpler", but it gives you less possible plays and that makes finding the proper ones a bit simpler.

My sister has an Ovation acoustic that plays nicely, even though she doesn't

Take it from her.

Would have already, but I'm a lefty and she is not

String it upside-down?

I mean, it worked for this guy:

I guess it may depend a lot on the placement of the knobs.

Love playing Kiki Pod but do want to try out Zoo since Nacatl is unbanned.

Also *takes in breath*

WHO THE FUCK CHANGED THE TITLE OF THE THREAD WHILE I WAS GONE.

Aren't signed cards usually worthless compared to mint condition originals (in terms of monetary)?

@J_S: Would you recommend B Aggro going into MOCS? I haven't tested BnG standard at all....

@Lp: It was Z, its about the relationship between Z and Kait (blame Ham for it)

Honestly, if you don't mind playing control and can borrow an 18 mythic deck, Bant super friends has been laughably powerful. Probably can't beat the burn deck, but mono-black and mono-blue feel like unlosable matchups, I've gotten RG monsters to 50/50 or better and I fixed the control mirror.

High recommendation.

Could you post a list? I'll see if I can borrow the cards or not (I usually don't play Control).

No Courser of Kruphix? I expected it to be an auto-include, but I guess that the manabase needs to be UWg.

It's a really fun deck to play, and it seems decent against the main decks. I'd love to have you as a collaborator again

Daxos? What do you side it against?

mono-black. Deets tomorrow. I'm awake and online, but tired,

Against mono black? I'm not getting why when it dies to every removal spell they have not named Ultimate Price and having a Nightveil Specter-like ability helps. Even the 3+ power unblockable seems pointless.

You'll have to explain it cuz I'm trying to see the reasoning and can't find any.

Putting them off of their key threats by casting them seems good, especially since it is basically the same as their gameplan.

hamtaro will know just what to do

Season one of Code Geass is reasonably insane (concur with person who said the characters are mostly all dumb, but that's true of 99.9% of anime) and the action scenes are pretty good, esp. compared to nowadays where it seems like anime barely has the budget to, y'know, animate fight scenes.

Season two is where shit went completely off the rails and if you enjoyed the hilariously pitiful attempts to have a coherent plot in the Resident Evil, 'aw... look at that. they think they're people!' sense and frenetic action scenes (think the equiv to shaky cam in terms of being able to tell wtf is happening) then it's fun.

Basically lots of fun, don't think much about it, and drink heavily for most of season two.

Also thanks, I am pretty awesome. <3 Woo spouting off all the health stuff is a bit lulzy considering that dude is 24/7 blitzed out of his mind. I'm not sure if he's ever streamed while not high.

Two CFB players? We're taking over.

WHO THE FUCK CHANGED THE TITLE OF THE THREAD WHILE I WAS GONE.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Zem.

Did I say wonderful? I meant terrifying.

Josh get Owen to post in here.

Kill la Kill IS action.

of all the threads to post in, i would recommend visitors start anywhere but here

Lol, yeah, 'cuz blathering is totes safe.

it has minor entertainment value

it has minor entertainment value

Yeah but not nearly as much as you and Z's rad bromance.

whereas this thread can be summed up thusly:

You missed me and Kaze.

you two are fused into the last picture

Who the hell puts a youtube poster on their wall? Where would you even get one of those?

YouTube

it looks like there is women's clothing on the fat lord's couch

Looks like an asex mu-mu from here, I think you're stretching... which is kind of shocking, considering the clearly apparent roll of toilet paper and hand lotion.

BTW pretty sure the rolled-up poster is an 80's Transformer movie advertisement.

I have a better title for this thread, anyway.

You actually don't.

It's harder to value signed cards. The people that want them value them higher than normal ones, but the demand for them is lower. On TCGPlayer, signed cards must be marked as Moderately Played at best. Thing is, it you're getting a card signed, it's probably because you'd like it better that way and aren't planning to trade it away.

Sorry for conversational left-turn from anime, but I'm stoked because I just found out that Peter Mohrbacher is coming to Spectrum Fantastic Art Live 3 in May! While I'm looking forward to talking to him about his current Standard cards (Erebos, Brimaz and Mogis to name a few), I'm most excited about getting foil Grimgin and Knights of Infamy/Glory signed. KoI was such centerpiece in Dos Rakis...I imagine I'll come home with a print from him as well.

Aaron Miller is also registered this year, so we'll be getting Chained to the Rocks and Fabeled Hero signed as well.

EDIT: Add Cynthia Sheppard--YP$ foil...

Eric Deschamps - Ashley, Act of Treason, Assemble and so much more...

Noah Bradley -
Mortars and Anger!

I ... I have the vapors.

Mohrbacher is probably my favorite MtG artist right now. Knight of Infamy print, pls?

Photo, could you get Noah to sign a set of Mortars for me if I mailed them to you?

Btw, not a fan of the new thread name.

@Yarpus — Do you want a signed Tibalt? Let me know, and I'll send one to you.

I don't know if I'm in my Clan thread or a blathering thread. So confused.

So, last night's gig turned out to be a paying one. And since everyone seemed to love me, I had a plethora of drinks handed to me all night.

Guess who's hungover today?
