I was testing the deck against pheonix last night and ninja'd him out of the game by using Pollen Lullaby to protect Tezzeret, allowing me to swing for lethal the following turn.
:eyebrow::eyebrow::eyebrow::confused2::confused2::confused: i do not recall this match...
i see 4 possible explanations
1. it was not me you are talking about
2. you played against someone using my name
3. i do not remember the match for some unexplained reason
4. i was playing a match while sleeping and got massively owned...

i think i believe 1 and 4 the most...
That reminds me of what happened last Saturday... I was watching the movie Johnny Mnemonic (an awful movie with Keanu Reeves or however his name is spelled) in it made in the 90's. I apparently fell asleep half way through the movie and woke up right when it ended. The weird part was I never remembered falling asleep so I thought my friends had just stopped the film and were messing with me. Wow, I must be really tired since I'm totally rambling now. I'm starting to think that Babblings title suited me quite well lol.
Bah, its really tough thinking up a good title that isn't a joke. I've got so far;
Procrastination
Staying up far too late
Listening to really loud music
Not knowing when to go to sleep
However, I know I'll get sick of any of those after the joke gets old (which will happen very quickly since none of them are particularly funny to begin with). Maybe Indecisiveness? That's a big fancy word that has some Izzet sounding parts.
Edit: High Mage of Sleep Deprived Ramblings maybe? Or is that too close to Arcane Babblings? Wow, I fail at sleeping.
Well three of the five matches I played were against bad players, so that probably has something to do with how I won each game with out having to combo off. Like I said, I'll have to test more against good players. I need to update my MWS bad so I can test with people online.
I've yet to test 4CB against Time Sieve.dec, but I imagine the matchup is in my favor. Once you get everything set up, let me know and we can grind'em'ups.
Oh, it might have been against kaipalin, then. My bad...I started playing against you guys on MWS at about the same time, and your playstyles are very similar, too.

I did pretty much the same thing while watching Michael Clayton. It was a good movie, but the middle part was super-slow so I fell asleep, and I got really confused when I woke up and had no idea WTF was going on.

Try to pick a cool-sounding title. Remember that your underlines have to use that title, too. (Hint: Things like "Psycho-delusional Wisdom" do not sound cool. I would not want that as an Acolyte or Apprentice title)
Congrats Clem!
BTW, the enemy-color fetchlands would be awesome, but why didn't anybody comment on Electropotence? Isn't it, like, Electrolyze + Necropotence. That would be my most desired card! (if it wouldn't turn out lame).
The reminder text about land still burning leads me to thoughts about an enchantment that brings us back manaburn. I hope it's cheap, though. R or G would be nice.
Land didn't cause mana burn directly pre-M10. Mana caused mana burn.
My friend and I believe that it's a keyword thing a la devour ("For each creature devoured this way..."), though devour didn't use reminder text.
The two-card kill combo also raises questions. Is it Open the Vaults (+ artifact graveyard trigger)? Djinn of Whishes (+ smth like "UU. Sorcery. You win the game, You can't play this card from your hand")? Hive Mind (+ Pact effect)? Sanguine Bond (+ visa versa aka "1B. Instant. Whenever a player looses life this turn, you gain that much life." Zendikar? Sorin? Vampires? Looks like the most likely to me.). Mirror of Fate (+ God knows what)? I think I am good at combos and exceptionally quick at finding them in game. I hope one of this answers is right as I tryied to list all the possible "open" cards in M10 (except obvious combos like Elvish Piper or infinit Time Warps)
You posted because you somehow sensed that I was :argh:ing you for not posting enough. Nice ESP, bud.
no i was just bored while my brother had the computer so i checked via my psp
I've yet to test 4CB against Time Sieve.dec, but I imagine the matchup is in my favor. Once you get everything set up, let me know and we can grind'em'ups.
if you read his post AI he said he wanted to play against a good player
lol i kid i kid
That deck is not real. I think people play it because they like to masturbate in public.
sure it's real just not that played. and yeah it is played because people like to masturbate in public
sure it's real just not that played. and yeah it is played because people like to masturbate in public
It's not real because it's awful.
I'm about to work seven and a half hours while 2000+ students go buck wild all around me in the chaos that is Moonlight Madness. Wish me...luck... :sweat::ugh::gonk:
Given the likelihood of Zendikar having some heavy land focus, and seeing that one card with landfall in it, I'm thinking it's very likely that the rest of the River of Tears cycle will be printed.
Also, if we do a new banner type thing, the Izzet planar card should definitely figure into it somehow.
Also, I guess I won't ever play Phoenixtearz. I'd be bored, I think, if he plays like me. I think too much...

THERE'S a goal, Ilvaldi! Attempt to be EXCITED ABOUT EVERYTHING that comes your way, good OR bad, for an ENTIRE year!! SO MUCH CAPSLOCK!
THIS LIFE GOAL OF BEING EXCITED ALL THE TIME WILL DRAIN THE LIVING **** OUT OF ME! MY PERSONALITY TESTS SAY THAT I'M WAY TOO ****ING INTROVERTED TO BE TYPING CAPS LOCK! QUICK! SOMEONE GIVE ME ANOTHER LIFE GOAL BEFORE I START A WALL-RANT WITH CAPS LOCK ON!!!!!!!!!!11111111111111ONEONEONEONEONEONE.
There's no way you've accomplished all of your life goals. You have to find and fall in love with your soulmate yet. (I'm assuming you believe in that sort of thing.)
I HAVE AND DISCOVERED THAT SHE DOESN'T EXIST.
@IZZET: THE NEW THREAD TITLE IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111
Also, I guess I won't ever play Phoenixtearz. I'd be bored, I think, if he plays like me. I think too much...
at least we'd have time to think while the other person is thinking(or something like that...)
i hope that there's a land that has "landfall- whenever a land comes onto the battlefield under your control, add one mana of any color to your mana pool" i think it'd have to come into play tapped though...maybe it'd be like the vivid lands except without reflecting pool.
maybe
overgrown forest
overgrown forest comes onto the battlefield tapped
:symtap:, add to your mana pool
landfall- whenever a land comes onto the battlefield under your control, add one mana of any color to your mana pool
Edit: or maybe "landfall- whenever a land comes onto the battlefield under your control, overgrown forest has :symtap:, add any color to your mana pool"
at least we'd have time to think while the other person is thinking(or something like that...)
Yeah, except I'd spend most of my time trying to figure out what you're thinking, and then wondering if you'd figured out what I was thinking, and *brain implodes*
overgrown forest comes onto the battlefield tapped
:symtap:, add to your mana pool
landfall- whenever a land comes onto the battlefield under your control, add one mana of any color to your mana pool
Edit: or maybe "landfall- whenever a land comes onto the battlefield under your control, overgrown forest has :symtap:, add any color to your mana pool"
Actually, that would be really fun. Or maybe one along the line of the already spoiled land, where you landfall- when a Forest enters the battlefield under your control, if you control three Forests, add GG to your mana pool. Seems green-like to me.
Also, Ilvaldi, maybe cancel that proposed goal. I apologize for the sugar-fueled idiocy. I do know, however, that a good life goal for an introvert like myself is indeed being more enthusiastic during my interactions with other people. Maybe try that?

Sounds like a plan, I just need to stop putting off uninstalling MWS and reinstalling it. I had to have my friend Tbshawk walk me through it on facebook the first time and I haven't gotten any better with stuff like that since so I'll prob need some more help.
lol can't that be said of most combo decks though? I always thought of it as mana ramp with terrible cards.
Good idea. I'll have to think about this somemore but I will know shortly.
Edit: I'll go with one of the older ones, High Mage of Destruction. Since I can't really think of anything better.
Alright I've "corrected" the thread title. So tell me, what is this moonlight madness?
You probably wouldn't be able to see the Facebook event if you don't use Facebook, so here's the event information you can find from the Meijer website (I work at Meijer). If you scroll down, you can find the following:
Monday, August 31
8:30pm-1am
Okemos Meijer 2055 W. Grand River Road, Okemos MI 48864
Michigan State
There were probably over 2000 people there over the course of the night, with 500 at the store at once during the busiest stretch. I had to work from 5pm-12:30am...it was a bloody Maelstrom in there...

Also, if we do a new banner type thing, the Izzet planar card should definitely figure into it somehow.
The River of Tears cycle might get printed in Worldwake or even "Prosper," but probably not in Zendikar, seeing as how it looks like there's already at least one rare land cycle and one uncommon/common land cycle. If there are enemy-fetches on top of that...
Also, it should be noted that River of Tears cares about whether you played a land, while Landfall triggers off of a land entering the field under your control.
i hope that there's a land that has "landfall- whenever a land comes onto the battlefield under your control, add one mana of any color to your mana pool" i think it'd have to come into play tapped though...maybe it'd be like the vivid lands except without reflecting pool.

The edited version seems fine. The first version is ridiculous!

lol can't that be said of most combo decks though? I always thought of it as mana ramp with terrible cards.
Mana Ramp isn't a combo deck, though. It's a mid-range deck that accelerates into its finishers. Warp World.dec is a janky combo deck that runs Mana Ramp cards.

Disagreed. Warp World is (well, was) a viable combo deck that only needed the mana-ramping enchantments. Birds and Garruks and **** sucked in the deck.
But my opinion is probably biased due to my being a player of stupid-combos.
Also, is it just me, or does Zendikar look a little scattered (flavourfully), with what we're seeing thus far...

Time Sieve.dec is the only currently viable "true" combo deck in Standard. Period.

Maybe you're the one who's scatter-brained, which means you wouldn't understand coherent flavor if it slapped you in the face.
Seriously, though...I can understand why you'd say that, but we've also only seen 15 cards besides the basic lands. It seems rather premature to make blanket statements regarding a 249-card set.

i'm a soft-spoken person

i believe that being calm is the best way to diffuse any sittuation.

I usually get enough sleep, but it doesn't mean work always goes smoothly or simply.
It's a good thing I got today off, since I had to endure an eight-hour shift yesterday with another coming up tomorrow.

Yeah, I figured as much after I had already finished replying.
* AsianInvasion may or may not have used this nickname for his Friend, and therefore may or may not be against using it on MTGS on account of it reminding him or her.
* AsianInvasion doesn't believe in bios, and doesn't believe the Izzet need to post them.
Exactly. The subject of member bios has come up before, and if it held any sway, we'd have them now. I'm a bit enthused that a member would come in demanding such a thing, without ratification.
Furthermore, wamyc, your sig was booby-trapped! I'll never forgive you, holding this grudge for all of eternity!

:eyebrow::eyebrow::eyebrow::confused2::confused2::confused: i do not recall this match...
i see 4 possible explanations
1. it was not me you are talking about
2. you played against someone using my name
3. i do not remember the match for some unexplained reason
4. i was playing a match while sleeping and got massively owned...
i think i believe 1 and 4 the most...
That reminds me of what happened last Saturday... I was watching the movie Johnny Mnemonic (an awful movie with Keanu Reeves or however his name is spelled) in it made in the 90's. I apparently fell asleep half way through the movie and woke up right when it ended. The weird part was I never remembered falling asleep so I thought my friends had just stopped the film and were messing with me. Wow, I must be really tired since I'm totally rambling now. I'm starting to think that Babblings title suited me quite well lol.
Bah, its really tough thinking up a good title that isn't a joke. I've got so far;
Procrastination
Staying up far too late
Listening to really loud music
Not knowing when to go to sleep
However, I know I'll get sick of any of those after the joke gets old (which will happen very quickly since none of them are particularly funny to begin with). Maybe Indecisiveness? That's a big fancy word that has some Izzet sounding parts.
Edit: High Mage of Sleep Deprived Ramblings maybe? Or is that too close to Arcane Babblings? Wow, I fail at sleeping.
The Izzet
Agreed Clem. Jokes that get too old must be destroyed!!!
Thanks To KrackShott
Old extendo moved
Everyone voted for the title without the capitalization. I'll fix it when I get back from classes (7 hours from now...) if there are no objections.

:aww::halo::love:
I've yet to test 4CB against Time Sieve.dec, but I imagine the matchup is in my favor. Once you get everything set up, let me know and we can grind'em'ups.
That deck is not real. I think people play it because they like to masturbate in public.
Oh, it might have been against kaipalin, then. My bad...I started playing against you guys on MWS at about the same time, and your playstyles are very similar, too.
I did pretty much the same thing while watching Michael Clayton. It was a good movie, but the middle part was super-slow so I fell asleep, and I got really confused when I woke up and had no idea WTF was going on.
Try to pick a cool-sounding title. Remember that your underlines have to use that title, too. (Hint: Things like "Psycho-delusional Wisdom" do not sound cool. I would not want that as an Acolyte or Apprentice title)
We look like ignoramuses with the title as is...
Electropotence is almost definitely inspired by Necropotence, but is probably closer to Pyromancy or Knollspine Invocation than to the original bad boy.
Land didn't cause mana burn directly pre-M10. Mana caused mana burn.
My friend and I believe that it's a keyword thing a la devour ("For each creature devoured this way..."), though devour didn't use reminder text.
PlanesJayWalker thinks it's a Heroes Remembered effect to trigger Sanguine Bond FTW. If so...uber-lame.
no i was just bored while my brother had the computer so i checked via my psp
if you read his post AI he said he wanted to play against a good player
lol i kid i kid
sure it's real just not that played. and yeah it is played because people like to masturbate in public
credit goes to purpled for my sig
Way to play along.
You're treading on thin ice. And I have a flamethrower. :devo::evil::mad1:
It's not real because it's awful.
I'm about to work seven and a half hours while 2000+ students go buck wild all around me in the chaos that is Moonlight Madness. Wish me...luck... :sweat::ugh::gonk:
Also, got_im and c@meron are getting PMs. They have until Friday to get their asses in gear.
Sales Thread
Also, if we do a new banner type thing, the Izzet planar card should definitely figure into it somehow.
Also, I guess I won't ever play Phoenixtearz. I'd be bored, I think, if he plays like me. I think too much...

Thanks for staying on top of this shizz! Good to know you're accountable and keeping active members' status up to date :).
That's not too big a hassle when Ravus has to rely on a ****ing library's internet. I swear I'm moving this next month, so we'll get that problem fixed soon enough...
I didn't sign up for this...
Anyway, I'm a bit rushed, so I'm just popping in for now to break in the new thread.
THIS LIFE GOAL OF BEING EXCITED ALL THE TIME WILL DRAIN THE LIVING **** OUT OF ME! MY PERSONALITY TESTS SAY THAT I'M WAY TOO ****ING INTROVERTED TO BE TYPING CAPS LOCK! QUICK! SOMEONE GIVE ME ANOTHER LIFE GOAL BEFORE I START A WALL-RANT WITH CAPS LOCK ON!!!!!!!!!!11111111111111ONEONEONEONEONEONE.
I HAVE AND DISCOVERED THAT SHE DOESN'T EXIST.
@IZZET: THE NEW THREAD TITLE IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111
at least we'd have time to think while the other person is thinking(or something like that...)
i hope that there's a land that has "landfall- whenever a land comes onto the battlefield under your control, add one mana of any color to your mana pool" i think it'd have to come into play tapped though...maybe it'd be like the vivid lands except without reflecting pool.
maybe
overgrown forest
overgrown forest comes onto the battlefield tapped
:symtap:, add to your mana pool
landfall- whenever a land comes onto the battlefield under your control, add one mana of any color to your mana pool
Edit: or maybe "landfall- whenever a land comes onto the battlefield under your control, overgrown forest has :symtap:, add any color to your mana pool"
Yeah, except I'd spend most of my time trying to figure out what you're thinking, and then wondering if you'd figured out what I was thinking, and *brain implodes*
Actually, that would be really fun. Or maybe one along the line of the already spoiled land, where you landfall- when a Forest enters the battlefield under your control, if you control three Forests, add GG to your mana pool. Seems green-like to me.
Also, Ilvaldi, maybe cancel that proposed goal. I apologize for the sugar-fueled idiocy. I do know, however, that a good life goal for an introvert like myself is indeed being more enthusiastic during my interactions with other people. Maybe try that?

Sounds like a plan, I just need to stop putting off uninstalling MWS and reinstalling it. I had to have my friend Tbshawk walk me through it on facebook the first time and I haven't gotten any better with stuff like that since so I'll prob need some more help.
lol can't that be said of most combo decks though? I always thought of it as mana ramp with terrible cards.
Good idea. I'll have to think about this somemore but I will know shortly.
Edit: I'll go with one of the older ones, High Mage of Destruction. Since I can't really think of anything better.

You probably wouldn't be able to see the Facebook event if you don't use Facebook, so here's the event information you can find from the Meijer website (I work at Meijer). If you scroll down, you can find the following:
Monday, August 31
8:30pm-1am
Okemos Meijer
2055 W. Grand River Road, Okemos MI 48864
Michigan State
There were probably over 2000 people there over the course of the night, with 500 at the store at once during the busiest stretch. I had to work from 5pm-12:30am...it was a bloody Maelstrom in there...
C@m, like the Dimir's Lethal Shadow, is our Shadow Member.
The River of Tears cycle might get printed in Worldwake or even "Prosper," but probably not in Zendikar, seeing as how it looks like there's already at least one rare land cycle and one uncommon/common land cycle. If there are enemy-fetches on top of that...
Also, it should be noted that River of Tears cares about whether you played a land, while Landfall triggers off of a land entering the field under your control.
Caps Lock defeatism is sad.
The edited version seems fine. The first version is ridiculous!
I added you on AIM. My SN is "diphallustyranus." You can IM me any time, even if just to leave a message while I'm not online.
Hopefully we can get this thing figured out between the two of us.
Mana Ramp isn't a combo deck, though. It's a mid-range deck that accelerates into its finishers. Warp World.dec is a janky combo deck that runs Mana Ramp cards.
Destruction and Domination. I'm a fan! :hifive::pals::link:
Disagreed. Warp World is (well, was) a viable combo deck that only needed the mana-ramping enchantments. Birds and Garruks and **** sucked in the deck.
But my opinion is probably biased due to my being a player of stupid-combos.
Also, is it just me, or does Zendikar look a little scattered (flavourfully), with what we're seeing thus far...
Time Sieve.dec is the only currently viable "true" combo deck in Standard. Period.
Maybe you're the one who's scatter-brained, which means you wouldn't understand coherent flavor if it slapped you in the face.
Seriously, though...I can understand why you'd say that, but we've also only seen 15 cards besides the basic lands. It seems rather premature to make blanket statements regarding a 249-card set.

Edit:
k, cool. I'll make sure to leave you a message when I get out of work today. Thanks for the help. On the topic of work, I'm about to go in for my second seven hour shift in a row on less than three hours of sleep. I'm really bad at sleeping. If I had a sleep rating, it'd be lower than a really bad player's DCI rating.
Oh, I know Mana Ramp isn't a combo deck, I threw away more rating points playing it than you'll ever get me to admit. I was saying that what you said about Warp World could be said of most combo decks.
lol we're the double D's!
