Dies to Removal

ALWAYS learn the word for bathroom whenever you travel. Also learn how to politely ask where it is.

Signs should point you there, but it's always good to know just in case.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes

And happy birthday to L_D too!

Heh, thanks everyone :3

-sneaks back in-

I was at an anime convention, so only one game day, but got the mat anyway. I like it.


Also, now even more upset that on theros gameday I got second twice in a row, cause otherwise I'd have 4 mats in a row e.e


Also, hi again everyone
Been a long while. School got heavy on me, and was on a bit of a hiatus again, but playing again now

-sneaks back in-

Happy day of birth, Alex!

-sneaks back out-

I use a deathadder 3500. It's pretty amazing

This = a good morning

The boston made me really want to put on one of my records to wake p to this morning,for some reason...

Oh well, now I've got Nazareth on, so I count that as a good mornin'

I would think that getting the counters would be easy, given the scenario you just gave.
Discarding cards with mind over matter would put the counters on it.

Let me know when you finish. I need a book buddy to discuss feels with

Also, anyone who's into Fantasy novels should check out Brandon Sanderson's The Stormlight Archive - it's definitely some of the best stuff I've read.

I knew there was a reason I like you people!

Sanderson is currently my favorite author, pretty much. And I must echo the recommendation. Any of his books or short stories are AMAZING.

Also, I bought and read Words of Radiance, the newest book in The Stormlight Archive the day it came out... SO GOOOOOOOOOOOOD.


Please tell me you've read it too, red ;-; I need someone to discuss the feels with, been holding them in ;-;

More like TITomi Tanaka, amirite?

...I'll see myself out.

Aaaaaaand there goes my productivity this morning...

Also the ham challenge. And I had made it an entire -checks watch- 30 minutes, too!

Windstrider, your latin in your sig made me want to try something, but it ended horribly.


I tried to find the roman for 'i burn', but the result was 'i am on fire'.
That said, 'cogito ergo uror' sounds awesome. But 'I think, therefore I am on fire' is hilarious to me for some reason.

Speaking of sleeves, better triple check them this time

I recommend the KMC Hyper Mattes, best sleeves I've ever used.

Random dumb question, is there anyone who sells custom sleeves?

http://www.yourcardsleeves.com/
Dude had a kickstarter a while back, and was slowly working at it. There hasn't been an update in months though, but the last that was heard was that he had them good to ship, and was working on the fuckton of preorders.

That's all I know -shrugs-
Dunno if he died, if he is sending out preorders, if people are getting them, etc, etc, etc.
But he does nominally make custom sleeves.

I've seen enough gay pornos to know where this is going.

?

CURSE YOU VOCAL MINORITIES!!!

Also, if y'all like Mike Portnoy, have you listened to Adrenaline Mob?

They're a metal supergroup and are pretty good. Portnoy did drums on their first two albms, omerta and coverta.

Err, Val, the ides of march is the 15th...

I feel your pain, LD (still feels weird calling you that... ;-;)

I've thought about getting into mtgo a LOT, but rebuying my deck on there is just too much money. It'd be great for testing and derping around, but still

Careful there Dechs, you're starting to catch onto the political pundit's tricks.
You know what happens when you ask too many questions...

I had an amusing idea about reprints and card value. Nothing in portal: three kingdoms is officially on the reserved list, yet they are some of the rarest most expensive cards.

I kinda wanna see a full reprint of portal: three kingdoms with modern frames (still only legacy legal of course). Would go a long way towards dropping prices on some of the most expensive cards, and wouldn't break the reserve list.

(Of course, I would love to see the reserve list go boom for the most part, and to have a proper modern masters done, as well as have the legacy version from mtgo done in paper too)

Just got back from my first fnm since my month-long hiatus.
Went 4-1 with my only loss being a really close fun match against what is one of my worst matchups anyways.

I had fun

So apparently there's an iq tomorrow that I just learned about... Not sure if I should go or not...
Of course, considering my current lack of a car, transportation WOULD be difficult...

Will look.

Careful, if you keep being awesome, I might have to hug you.

I will keep looking for Asuka sleeves.

Any chance I can wire you some money and get you to look for some anime sleeves for me too? ;P

What are you looking for specifically?

Tsumugi Kotobuki from K-On.

What can I say, I have a weak spot for cute-girls-doing-cute-things anime...

I will keep looking for Asuka sleeves.

Any chance I can wire you some money and get you to look for some anime sleeves for me too? ;P

Yeah, hypermats are amazing. I've been using them since my lgs got them in.

I will say that they've gotten a little grimey after a few months, even with playing on a mat at all times. That's just normal though.

I've heard some reports of minor corner splitting but the worst I've gotten is a few bent corners. They're amazingly well built and strong...


That said, I heard a rumor that dragon shield is making a matte sleeve soon, and I'm excited to try that if they do.

I'm going to start judging at FNM this week!
missed trigger? DQ!!!

Make sure that all the player's sleeves are completely, 100%, opaque and all in the same direction!

I saw something similar... A couple of players at my lgs are trying it out.
I know for a fact that one of them isn't having any success cause I played him in gameday.

As far as I can tell, rw burn rides the line between fucking beautiful and horrendous. It seems like about 3/4ths if the decklists I see for it are poop, while a small number like Z's are insanely powerful.

Another issue is that it's not as easy to play as you would think. It takes a bit of a twist in the mindset to play that style correctly and well.


You have to get both of these things right, and while a lot of people could copy z's deck, it's such a difficult deck to play right that I think it won't get as popular as mono-black or mono-u did, for instance. I do expect to see it finishing really well in the hands of a small number of talented players though.

Well now I'm curious

Is it worse then mine? I was facing a bant aggro-y midrangey thing (it was terrible, and I had been paired down) and they played a daxos.

I quickly scanned the card, but I thought it did something with THEIR library, and was overconfident and hasty in my reading because I thoguht I already knew what it did.

As I result, when I played a scry land on my next turn and saw a stormbreath dragon, I didn't move it to the bottom, so they gained 5 life.

Didn't matter hugely, since their deck was still pretty bad, but it was a stupid mistake that came from being overconfident that I knew it already.

I still want your babies Zem.

me too.

And me!


Also, I played in a game day today. First standard thing I've done in about a month. It actually felt really good to play again, and I felt like I was playing well too. Got 4-0, 2-0ing every match, and got the playmat :3
Good way to return, imo.


Also, not sure what to do with the mat. I like it and the raging minotaurs, but I like my chandra one more...
Should I trying selling or trading it off, or should I start collecting? Cause I've got 2 game day mats and the custom one I got from that one tourney...

Apparently he just went 0-2 in round 11 too... I have a feeling he might be tilting a bit...


That game loss was absolute bull. This is why they need to revise the rules, cause they are seriously draconian.

The commentators just confirmed what I expected was happening offscreen.
Z just beat yet another esper control to end day one at 9-0!
He's one of only 2 undefeated players now.


Only thing I can say is holy crap! Z you are making the rest of us look bad ;P

Z's currently sitting at 8-0 after trouncing a GR Monsters HARD in the text coverage feature match.

http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/A ... welcome#12

And wanna know what is clearly and nicely visible in the shot of him?
Yup.
Keep it up, Z!

Yeah, a friend mentioned firefly to me and so I watched it one night on netflix.
Needless to say I didn't much sleep that night.


Also, been thinking about trying to get an rpg group going around where I live to play the Firefly tabletop. I've heard it's pretty damn good if you've got a dm who can storytell properly.

Just rewatched Serenity. Reminded me just how much I LOVE that show/movie...
