Ah, no worries about the wife. Total backfire. Nobody but her closest friends believes her.

Finally, people are seeing the crazy.

Fucking redheads. Can't live with em; can't...well, can't fucking live with em. >.>

Sorry, rogue leader. I'd show the pics, but I don't wish to offend the Super Gays in this clan.

Fucking redheads. Can't live with em; can't...well, can't fucking live with em. >.>

But you just can't quit them.

You know who fucks real good?

Fucking redheads.

Also cannot quit

I'm off the redheads - I just date brunettes and get them to die their hair.

@red - YEP!!! My wife discovered this preferred dye color and it now rotates in every other session. Bet you can guess how she figured out it was a favorite

Alex is super gay, wouldn't want him to be even more awkward.

For some reason, I love me a firebush.

Am I Moses reincarnated?

Mmm, gingers.

Is it just me, or is every natural red pussy very sweet tasting?

Is it a byproduct of the firebush??

Uhm.

No.

It is just you.

If I'm wrong, I don't want to be right.

Its not just you, raspberries and cream come to mind.

Man, now I'm hungry...

Mmm, now my stomach is growling

These spoilers today make me sad that I went out and got a real job. All I want to do is dork out on Reddit and brew in Cockatrice.

Alex, can you stop being gay so Kaze will post the pictures? Please?!

I'd rather ruin the fun.

Looks pretty good to me.
Let us know how it goes.

I kind of legitimately hate myself for not being able to resist the allure of pizza.

Who can?

Who can?

I sure can't. Especially is someone else is footing the bill.

Seems realistic:



I drew a Flinthoof Boar on my second turn.

Here at FoS, we live in reality!

Holy fuck.

I don't know who among you may already be clued in to this tool for watching price trends, but I've been finding it useful. I have all relevant rares added into my collection so that I can see at a glance how the market moves over a week. You can look at any one card specifically and it will give you current pricing as well as a graph of price changes since the card's release (at least for current cards) in either paper or MTGO form.

Can I get a what what?!

More interested in the death god. R/b is looking nice.

Holy crap...another planeswalker? Everything I've found said we were getting 2, and now they drop a BU walker that can cast creatures?! Talk about a surprise...I don't know if it will see play, but again the nightmare flavor it really next-level. And the art...I want that original.

Love Tymaret...so many fun BR options!!!!

I have a special place in my heart for B/R Zombies.

The mirrored removal cycle is just cool...Dark Betrayal is a the perfect sideboard companion to Doom Blade. I love this set!!!

Ouch on the mountain destruction...or yay depending on your perspective. Blow up their pretty new shockland and dome them...interesting that it's land rather than spell-targeted.

+1 you on that sentiment big time SM...Zombies was my first "real" deck and I love the tribe.

Erebos, God of the Dead
Legendary Enchantment Creature - God (M)
Indestructible
As long as your devotion to black is less than five, Erebos isn't a creature.
Your opponents can't gain life.
, Pay 2 life: Draw a card.
5/7

Interesting that he kills lifegain, but rather narrow. Rather expensive card draw, but another black source of CA attached to a huge wall/beater. BR continues to look interesting...

GP schedule released... The next three Japanese GPs are close to me. I can't go to Kyoto because of work (might go for day 2) but definately going to Shizuoka (can drive). Gp Nagoya is in April and about the time I will leave Japan and head home. Will probably make that the last thing I do here. Exciting.

Since the abilities of the gods and their weapons go hand in hand, my guess is that his whip will have a drain life effect.

So many good options for red backbones. Wondering what might be best option for the low budget start while grinding credit.

Thinking YP burn shell

Ideally pre release and release will be kind to me!

No GP around here this year either, but Stockholm next October might be doable. Btw, who decides where GPs are held? Is it WotC only or is it done together with local tournament organizers? I'm just wondering who to start contacting about it...

I'm already pumped for the PTQ 20 miles from my house in November. Unfortunately it is Theros Sealed.
