@Digi Oh, now I get it. I know it's still top tier, but I told you not to run Esper. The point about Scry lands is moot when everyone is running Scrylands and alot are using guildgates. Still, I think 3 color doesn't have as amny advantages and more drawbacks. Monoblack doesn't really look to be doing anything except getting stronger. Lifebane Zombies are back in my sideboard for Gruul, Selesnya, Naya, etc. Since those are popping up again. I posted the Monoblack deck I tested on MWS and Monoblack is pretty versatile for a 1 color. If I can see your current build with it, I can see what, if anything needs to be retooled. The deck hasn't changed much, with the exception of a lot of builds running Bile Blight instead of Pharika's Cure. Sideboard options changed, but that's to be expected and an easy fix.
@Xander I'm gonna look through my messages this weekend and probably send you a card to remove the borders on. Got my S together, and now I have the money to spend on that stuff.
@Everybody Jace vs. Vraska looks like SOOOOOO much fun. It's Me vs. my wife, lol. I'm buying a playset of the deck so I have 4 foil promo Jace and foil new art Remand. Can. Not. Wait!

Greetings, my old colleagues. I must apologize for my extended absence from the library. It seems in the recent change of location I received incorrect directions to the new building, which seemed only to lead in circles. Apparently there was an issue with my scrying device's timekeeping subroutine, and it needed to be replaced before I could locate the library again.
(Curse websites seem to get caught in a redirect loop if your time is not set correctly, and my computer was old and buggy and unable to fix the issue, so yesterday when I finally got a new laptop was the first time I was able to get on Salvation since the forums moved here.)
At any rate, it is good to be back finally. Is anything required of me in order to return to my previous duties, or am I free to go about my business at any time?

Apologies DA, it seems like you got caught in some of the heightened security that has been implemented after what happened in the 9th district.

So I may be late to the party, but color me excited about Bitterblossom being unbanned in Modern. I think the format is a little too aggressive for Faeries to really thrive, but it's always been one of my favorite decks, so that was nice to see.

@DA I was wondering if Faeries with Bitterblossom could come back and the MTGO Modern Premier. Faeries took first place on 2/16/14, then 8th on 2/23/14, followed by a 4 - 0 finish in MTGO Modern Daily Week of 2/24/14. Here's the 2/16/14 list:
I like how Yasooka's is more of a Batterblade version of Faeries. Gotta love it.
@aja Nice job!

I can't imagine it's gotten any less painful. In fact, I would be disappointed in the lack of thoroughness if it had. Proper reeducation must by necessity be an excruciating process. So I am glad to hear standards are still as rigorous as ever, possibly more so. I don't look forward to having to go through it again, though. Such are the sacrifices we make in the name of security, I suppose.
(Also, if you didn't catch it, I was making a Night Vale reference in my earlier post. If any of you have not listened to Welcome to Night Vale, I highly recommend it.)

Hey, if it's not for you, it's not for you, I'm cool with that. I'm not one of those pushy fans who's going to berate you for not liking something. Apologies on behalf of the fandom if you've been overloaded with people telling you to listen to it, I know that often will push people away from something they might otherwise enjoy.

Yeah, being all audio is probably the biggest obstacle for most people, and the reason a lot of my friends can't get into it. I'd suggest reading transcripts, they're pretty widely available, but... To be honest, it would not be as enjoyable. A big part of what makes it so great is Cecil's brilliant comedic timing and the inflection he delivers it with. Reading along with a transcript as you listen is always an option if you are interested and that's the only barrier to you listening to it. But there's also nothing wrong with just not being interested. I'm not here to judge

@Xander I'm gonna look through my messages this weekend and probably send you a card to remove the borders on. Got my S together, and now I have the money to spend on that stuff.
Yomako! You and your adorable avie and sig! It melts my cold-blooded, murderous assassin of a heart. =)
I dismantled my Marath after watching someone play the EXACT SAME decklist. =p Needless to say, playing Marath and making a bunch of dumb babies and beating face game after game gets tiring. Especially if you just have to watch someone else play 'your deck'. So I broke that apart and remade Riku. Cuz he's my bff. Goal was to play 'copy spell' cards and then copy Eternal Dominion 3-5+ times when I cast it. And then beat people with their own decks. Problem with my first draft is that it has no way to protect itself (beyond Propaganda) and has no card draw. =p Seemed my Timmy/Johnny was too focused on the task at hand that I forgot to add 1-4 counterspells, card draw, mass/targetted bounce, and more ways to not die. However! I had an instant where I played Tamiyo, the Moon Sage after getting swung at by 8 creatures and -2'd her to draw 8 cards. Then next turn I got swung at for exactly lethal and I flash'd in Snapcaster to leave me at 1. The one winning, Prossh, passed it to Zedruu. On Z's turn, he played Form of the Dragon and then donated it to Prossh. *SQUEEEE!* So as Zedruu passes to me, Prossh's life is now 5 life and it's my job to kill Prossh. I thought "O! Easy enough." But then I remembered that this new list didn't have alot of the old list contents. I.E Comet Storm, Demonfire, Devil's Play, Banefire...and I thought "Poop! I need to draw more!" So I Tamiyo'd again and drew 18 cards. And got Electrolyze. "Close enough!" I cast E. Witness to get back Reverberate and cast Electrolyze and copied it twice, with Reverberate and Wild Ricochet. =)
Prossh dies and I pass to Zedruu. Zedruu is in play and I have an E. Witness and I'm at 1. Zedruu plays Madcap Skills and kills me. NOOOOES! X_x ;tl dr; I had a fun first match, but gonna need some tweeking to get it to function better.
@DA Any way to post a link or something? I'm sure I could find it if I google it or something, but I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking for, other than what you've told me.
@Xander Well, I'm trying to decide which card to send you, and I'm going to have to wait a week or so. As I was telling Ayu a couple pages back, my own Papaw is not doing well. He may have cancer.....again, and this time on a lung. I'm going to see him this week, so I need to ensure my moneys are where they belong. I'm positive that I will be able to send you one anyway, just want to time it right. Don't want to spend mana on a kill spell when I should have saved for a Counter. Nice work on the Tutor!
@Aqua lol, nice job. Love your EDH matches almost as much as Tera's Draft/Sealed stories. :nudge: :nudge:
2 questions:
1) Why isn't Blue Braids in some sort of Reanimator/Sneak and Show kinda deck?
2) I'm ok about what's going on with my Grandpa, I'm sure everything is gonna be fine, but if not I'm going to regret not seeing him. If something happens and he's gone, I have tons more problems to handle that are more important than my own emotions. My mom, Aunt, and Mamaw off the top of my head. my 8yo daughter won't take it really well either. Especially if I don't see them asap.

It's a podcast, it's free on itunes. Here is a link to it on the itunes website. Basically, it's a community talk radio show from the fictional town of Night Vale, where "mysterious sights that definitely no one saw, and strange thoughts that in no way occurred to anyone, because all of us are normal, and to be otherwise would make us outcasts from our own community" are commonplace, and an accepted part of everyday life. In my opinion it strikes the perfect balance between creepy, surreal, and humorous.

@Ayu, this new site is a total bummer because the non-mobile friendly design. And I'm still bummed to know you had to sell your cards. We'll be here whenever you come back around. If it wasn't for the new site lameness I'd suggest we talk about something else to ease your unwanted transition from playing a lot to playing not so much. Maybe some wrestling talk or something. Or maybe who you think the best space cowboy in anime is....
I don't know of any topic that is good at the moment. I'm not even too into wrestling at the moment and I have been a fan of that far longer than I have MTG (16 years now, officially) and it's Wrestlemania season too. I've just generally been down lately. I did go to the Bass Pro shop last Friday and that cheered me up some, most fun I have had in a long time.
@Xander Well, I'm trying to decide which card to send you, and I'm going to have to wait a week or so. As I was telling Ayu a couple pages back, my own Papaw is not doing well.

Roon is a full art alter using the oversized foil card that comes with the commander box. To my knowledge, no one else has tried this yet, but I think it turned out pretty well. I'll probably try it with a few more commanders.
@Aqua lol, nice job. Love your EDH matches almost as much as Tera's Draft/Sealed stories. :nudge: :nudge:
Forking Eternal Dominion sounds spicy. I'd love to see an Epic spell in conjunction with Hive Mind too. Unfortunately, I can't have a nonlegendary enchantment as my commander, else I would totally have built Hive Mind long ago. Or Eye of the Storm.
Currently working on Daxos of Meletis, themed around hating fatties (Meekstone, Ensnaring Bridge, Marble Titan, you name it) and playing my opponents' decks.
@ sealed/draft stories: Judged like 1-2 competitive tournaments per month since December, but I actually get to play a GP Trial next Saturday. Hope it'll lead to a good story. Goal: get a Chromanticore, then go from there.
Also, Xander's cool alters make me want to pick up my brushes and get back to altering too. That Kaervek is great!
