Ok, so like, really, wtf is with your mother? Parent's don't disown their children usually (unless you're in my family, in which case they do quite frequently).
Well, she's pissy because of the summer camp thing and because she didn't want to have to take care of me for the four weeks (and spare change) before MSU's Welcome Week, when I move out.
So now I'm kicking it with my good friend, who fortunately lives less than a half-mile away from my [former] house.
Sorry to hear it AI. I still think this whole thing with the summer camp is frikkin stupid, but whatever. A slap is not physical violence, ****. You want violence, put in a room with these people for ten minutes, and give me a tire iron. <_<
I'll be fine. I'm just mad that people think I'm an a**hole for getting someone else kicked out of camp. And because my mom is a *****. Though living with my friend is fun.

I thought it was just you that got thrown out of camp. You got someone else thrown out too? THAT'S AWESOME!!!

Hey guys. It's been a while since I posted. Been busy with trying to get into co-op and such. I did get my first box ever (10th ed). It was a pretty nice box, although there weren't any BoPs or ***s. I got:
Quirion Dryad (she's hot...*drools*)
Crucible of Worlds
Platinum Angel
Traumatize
Adarkar Wastes
Karplusan Forest
Llanowar Wastes
Kamahl, Pit Fighter
Arcanis the Omnipotent
Ambassador Laquatus
Hurkyl's Recall
Verdant Force
2x Dragon Roost (1x foil, 1x non-foil)
and a bunch of other junk I don't remember off the top of my head.
Anyway, here's a question to those of you that go to FNM: what are you playing? I've got 4 Tarmogoyfs and I want make a standard deck just so I can play at FNM (must get shiny Plagues...). Any suggestions?
It, much like my first list, is far better than I expected. It's damned fast, and the Steel Golem is STILL a haus against aggro (unaided Trolls cry when I play Steel Golem :xd:)

Why Denizen of the Deep as opposed to some other finisher? I know it's big, but it costs 6UU and any non-damage removal kills it, leaving you with nothing but lands. I would run Fat Moti over the DotD.
Cause I collect and love them? It's just a fun card, and is rarely ever cast. If I was to remove it, I'd actually put in either a one-of burn spell (like Beacon of Destruction) or the 4th Seal of Fire.
Hey guys.. long time no post. I just kind of stopped playing (and collecting) magic for while there and didn't really keep up with the thread.
But recently (yesterday) I made a binder with all of the cards from odyssey block using some sleeves I got for Christmas. I realised it woould be cool to fill in all of the blanks, and barring some exceptions like cunning wish and nantuko shade, most of the cards will be really cheap and eadtg to pick up.
So, adjusting for the usual swell in popularity of the more recent blocks, what is your favorite block from a design perspective? (Meaning you don't have to think that the block is particularly powerful, just fun to play.)
Hmm... I loved Antiquities. That was a FUN block (powerful too). Legends was actually pretty damned fun (it had some crazy white cards... Greater Realm of Preservation anyone? Moat? Fun fun). Uh, the Dark was pretty cool, bad, but cool.
What's your favorite block, not your favorite set? They only really started with the block format in mirage-visions-weatherlight, even though Ice age-homelands-alliances was sort of block-like (and now has coldsnap to flesh things out.)
Block... I don't have one. I seriously judge by sets, not blocks. In any case, I'd still go with the older stuff, like Legends and the Dark. If you MUST have an entire block, then Mirrodin. No question.

I absolutley love Odessey block. Actually, I absolutley love the black in Odessey block. In my opinion, black was at it's apex of design there, and kind of went downhill after that. I hope that Lorwyn will bring back black's previous "flavour" as it was in Odessey, Torment, and Judgement.
Actually, I think that all the colours were at their apex of design in Odessey block, and kind of went down in design-based coolness, and the capturing of the colour pie's intent after that.
I just think black was the coolest of the 5 colours in Odessey block.
I'm not saying that the later sets were inferior in design as whole sets, but that the later sets failed to capture the essence of each colour as Odessey block did.
Edit: Oh! New thread! Bueno...
Edit II: @AI!!!: Dude! That's insane! That's the 2nd worse case of AMS (Asian Mom Syndrome) I've ever heard of! Worse is my mom. She tried to kick me out of the house when I got a detention for swearing in class. Fortunatley (I guess...) she changed her mind. I haven't figured out why, though. Maybe my dad...?
btw, what kind of summer camp were you at? I was at a Boy Scout camp all last week, and my friends and I had a huge fight right in the middle of the mess hall just for fun.
And...I agree. Martial arts don't help in fights as much as people think they do. Actually, they help very little unless your opponent is using the same martial art as you are, which happens very rarely. And they don't do much against ball-shots. Silly blackbelts...(no offense to any out there, though).
And...I am officially a mutant Asian! I suck at math! I suck at ping-pong! And I'm 6'1''!
The Niv is back and ready for some great Izzet fun. so whats new every one? nothing here except for playing Tekken 5 on the PS2 and let me me tell you its fun as hell. still looking for a competitive deck to play and have desided on R/u Beets its cheep and simple and i have most the cards for it. dont worrie ill still help on the Jhiora deck. if thats going any were at this time. too many posts to read and too little time on line. well i got to go other stuff to read. ttyl

Time Manipulation Device Mark Three: Hour Glass Reversal
Idea was found looking into the past useing the time turner to go to egypt. After study have made improvments to device and are ready for testing. Waiting for Slaker to come back to throw him through it. I hope he turns out better then the elf i captured.

As for the Jhoira deck... it's not going anywhere. Too little consensus on it I think, and it's really sorta flawed to begin with (it relies too strongly on Jhoira surviving to do much). It's a fun Tier 3-3.5 deck, but not much else (ie. casual, maybe).

I personally hate Tarmogoyf though, so I refuse to play him. If you go that route, then maybe G/R Gro is best.
Oh, and post more in here!

That was my older list. These days I'm running this:
4 Cloud Sprite
4 Sage of Epityr
4 Spiketail Hatchling
4 Steel Golem
1 Denizen of the Deep
4 Incinerate
4 Rune Snag
4 Remand
3 Seal of Fire
2 Ghitu Encampment
8 Island
7 Mountain
It, much like my first list, is far better than I expected. It's damned fast, and the Steel Golem is STILL a haus against aggro (unaided Trolls cry when I play Steel Golem :xd:)

So many good cards in that block I used to play with like Power Sink, Archivist, Disruptive Student (good ol kid Teferi making a ruckus in Barrin's classes. Awsome), Faerie Squadron, Cloud of Faeries, Horseshoe Crab, Molten Hydra, Defender of Chaos, Ghitu Slinger, Viashano Sandscout, Goblin War Buggy. Just so many classic commons and uncommons I used to play with. Yes including Rancor
Plus you know, all the real power cards in that block. Memory Jar, Morphling, Gilded Drake, Goblin Lackey, Goblin Welder etc. And a few restricted list cards...sigh.
