Well, the first part obviously means 'I didn't know until I read it', but, who knows about the other..maybe it means my body is in revolt?
As for the mystery user..it's not big secret that Zig has a tendency towards hanging out with idiots, and obviously this person is another one of them.

+ obv obv obv we are several others.
Cyan, I love the Drop Bear derail you've instigated here.
It should be easy to tell whether or not it's Zig. Has she mentioned getting drunk or high in the last five seconds? If not, obv. it is somebody other than Zig.
So, on the topic of nipples, I think we can all agree on pink and perky. The question lies, however, are areolas that are flush with the contour of the breast better, the same, or inferior to those which puff out from the main curve of the breast?

Well I know that its slower than molasis, my hope was to slow down the opponent just as much with cards similar to remand. The screeching sliver is just there as a one drop that combos with the gemhide sliver. I'll go ahead and proxy the entire thing and then I can carry it loosly in my backpack wherever I go. Might take me a little. I also may not have computer access as soon as I get an appartment. I don't have a computer and can't afford one. Course I'll tell ya'll if I'm going on hiatus again.
So I went to a midnight timespiral booster draft last night. This was a casual boosterdraft where at the end the rares, foils, and purple cards are put on a table and picked one at a time in accordance to ranking. Well to ensure there was nobody cheating we had to show the people next to us what our rares, foils, and purple cards were. The guy to my left had a sengir nosferatu so I decided not to take the evil eye in my pack so I wouldn't have to compete with him for black later. I did end up passing him up a Plauge Sliver later as well, but I was busy building my deck. I started out picking out green but started taking more white, mostly flanking creatures and several slivers, two quilled slivers, two watcher slivers, and a Pulmonic sliver. A late pick in my last pack was a psonic sliver and I just could not pass that up. For removal I had two gaze of justice, arena, and mangara...that and any combo I got with my slivers.
You can imagine how it played out. In one game I played against a u/r deck and had my psonic sliver out with protection from blue. I ended up tying that game though, something about him with nothing on the table and no way to stop me and me with a great shooting combo a 2/2 knight and mangara...him at 20 life and time being called. X_X
My last game was weird. I got hit hard in the early game and was using my pulmonic sliver and psonic sliver as a desperation combo to take out marrading 1/1's. I ended up losing to a pundlehaven elder which comboed with a scrybe ranger to make it so I couldn't shoot down the 1/1's very effectively. I came back game two but we didn't have time for game three. I would have gone 2-0-2 for the night but we flipped for the win and I got it putting me at second overall.
I was happy, my first pick was Psonic Blast. Need it for my set...and four for my deck. I'll be heading to a sealed tournament release event saterday.

And I guess that I'm a lucky one for the truth of what I know. For my heart had not denied me and I have somewhere to go. I shall never be a prisoner of steel and glass and stone. If I leave, I will return again to my Rocky Mountain home.
Psionic Blast's a great second pick. It's worth $24 right now - well done. The only thing that can beat it in the set would be one of the top 10 rares, in foil. For example, a foil Ancestral Vision would top it. Not too much else!
Nipples - haven't we talked about this already? Oh well! Everybody has 'em! I don't think there's anything better or worse about puffy areolas. Really wide around, or really dark, arealos tend to be less desireable IMO.
Psionic Blast is cool. Unlike regular TS rares, it will actually retain value for awhile. I can't imagine any of the normal set TS rares being worth more than 10 bucks within a month or two. The Timeshifted cards only make it worse, because so many of them just put normal set rares to shame.
Foil versions of rares like Psionic Blast seem like a gold mine waiting to happen, should be worth $100+ easily.
Actually foil Psionic Blasts are going for $35 or so, strangely. Yeah, that's underpriced IMO. Foils should be worth at least double nonfoils, so $50 and up for Psiblast.
As I sit here and roll my nipples between my fingers....er....well anyway...I am inclined to disagree with the both of you!:p
Foil Psionic Blasts have been steadily selling for $45-$70 a piece on ebay. Maybe they have dropped a little since the pre-re but I think they will go back up once everyone realizes how difficult it is to actually attain one. A friend of mine opened three boxes and got none....not even non-foil. He did get 3x Akroma but the psi-blast eluded him.
Well...I'm 1-2 in the tourney....got demolished by RG Aggro! Should have played the Crime // Punishment for 3 before I play the hippie...oh well!
Next round!
Gonna watch X3!

Jonski, I gauge a card's price in part by how cheaply I can reliably obtain it. So when I said $35 for a foil Psiblast, I meant that if I wanted to, I could get one for that price. I know there are several Buy It Now auctions for $40 on eBay, so there's no doubt that I could get one, two, probably even three foil Psiblasts for $40 apiece, right now, no hassle. Getting them for $35 would probably take a couple days of watching the right auctions and placing the appropriate bids, but it could be done.
Now, would I sell it for $35? Not a chance! I agree that they are WORTH much more. Hell yeah - you have to open four full booster boxes just to crack a single Psiblast... 13 1/2 boxes to find a playset... foils are obviously much more hard to get than that. I'm opening multiple cases and I don't expect to pull a foil unless I'm really lucky.
People underestimate how rare the purples are. I put 15 of each up on my site. A few customers come by, wanting the same thing, and I'm cleaned out. These cards are legal in Standard for a full two years, and I'm already unable to provide for their deck needs. IMO, the price of the playable purples will be going up.

That is nuts.
CoTH, Blast, etc are all going to be slim pickins.
(Yay at my pulling one of each.)
I was bored this weekend so I joined a RAV block league on MODO.
My deck is...disgusting so far.
It is 4 colors (no green) with Yore-Tiller Nephilim, Dream Leash and Pride of the Clouds.
TONS of fliers. TONS of removal (Helix, Seal of Fire, Twinstrike, Darkblast, Galvanic Arc, Douse in Gloom)
I have gone 4-1. (MANA SCREWED, the guy that beat me did NOT have a good deck)
The Nephilim is excellent, but the 2/2 body is poopoo.
My deck mainly wins because it doesn't rely on specific cards to win, as it is full of flying 2/2s...
I noticed that alot of people who were running Dimir House Guard DID NOT know how to use it.
My Douse in Gloom and Lightning Helix almost always gained me life if they had a guard on the board.
They would only use the guard to sac itself if it was targeted. (and they had no other creatures to regen it)
One game a guy sac'd a Rotwurm to the guard by accident. (Didn't matter, I would have tried to dream leash the wurm next turm...but lol)
Forum Pirates' has tentacles. . .
499's has a Crystal Boob of Teleportation. . .
Rakdos' isn't anything about their clan, just some Lyzolda Slash fiction. . .
I'd say, toss it to the Greeks, but their entry is Too Long, so I Didn't Read it.
RANDOM's is deliciously, well, random. I'd say they're a safe Second Place Vote - it was brief + made me smile. Props.
Simic's is To Be Continued, so they didn't finish + don't deserve points any more than we do.
ARD's has pizza, + has something to do with their clan, so that's probably a good vote.
If we don't come to even a minor consensus on this, or Cyan just VOTES for us, I am going to surrogate this bad dog. I don't want to waste what effort jj + Dt put into this thing.
I say we go with ARD's and Greeks.....at least they seemed to put forth some effort.
Thanks for the backhanded props there Rian....I think?!?
Getting late...gotta get some sleepsssssssssszzzzzzzzzzzzzz....................

I remember some of Brian's first posts in here - he was absolutely unintelligible for a while. And yet, fit in nicely.
Nick doesn't seem to be willing to function in his duties Dude, cast a vote, any vote! Please!
Working a Saturday night shift. Good thing I make almost $400 for it, or it wouldn't be worth it - these people are SICK, man. Quite a mix of angry, manic, and psychotics this week. Nobody out on pass, 16 on the ward, 2 nurses trying to keep the peace. Hard on the liver, boi.
Eh? I submitted our 'vote' for the contest like 2 days ago, do you want me to change it now? I didn't think we were actually caring whom we voted for, so, I voted for GA and Pirates because generally they have the best stuff anyway(except for us obv.).
Also, your statement about Brian gives the impression that this 'unintelligble posting' has ceased. Clearly that is not the case, Brian is 't3h sp4mz0rz'
Also, if you can buy foil Psi Blasts for 40 each, I think you should Daron. You can definetely resell them in a little time, once people realize just how hard Timeshifted foils are to get, and how gooooood Psi Blast is for Standard. Plus all of those Vintage buffs, etc.
I made an ass out of u and me! Sorry Nick, when Brian was talking about needing to get our vote in, I figured you hadn't done it yet. At least it's in, we get one point now.
And yeah, gonna look into those foil Psiblasts. You're right, they'll go for at least $60 IMO.
