    If we're in unbased speculation, I remeber a female spirit related to black, and she already has a card. Toshi's godess; Myojin of Night's Reach after planswalking to Dominaria she could have traveled to Lorwyn and the identity thing would be preveting the fae from discover her being an "alien"

    With the posts you can have atleast 16 colorless mana on turn 5. doing nothing more than play a land t1-4 and scapeshift t4 for four posts, play a vesuva you have 20. With Summer Bloom and Sylvan Scrying as 2 drops you can disrupt t1 and t3, if you don't go off of a Bloom. Boseiju, Who Shelters All as target of choice against counters. And with 16 Mana and some highcost artifacts you can easily play around most counter-tech played nowadays and if they counter you one thing, just go on playing otherstuff, with Academy Ruins you could go a recursion route, either with Slayver-Lock or Oblivion Stone. It's like freakin' spinerock knoll, not over- but underhyped, until some one breaks it. I don't see a problem in control, but in agro, being too fast.

    I chose love, but got the green ring doing the test. I don't think the ring's concepts are eliminating each other necessarily. You need the green one for all the others or you'd be as inconsitent as Unununium.

    Correct.
    From what I've seen the tribal soldier equipment is nuts, rouges if made properly are a force to reckon with, reinforce is good if just for giving you options (the 2w flying kithkin is [add stylish word for good]) and changelings are good in nearly each deck and can be the core of a good deck: take those gelidguys (mostly medicore cards) add some random synergy cards, some tribal spell of the latter and voilà playable deck.

    If they make some, what i doubt for SHA, they would stay mono for some time, as said. Further, to not be as kind as to the elves these days, they would have to give each color one. I don't know the storyline but not a single perseon mentioned them to be important to LOR/MOR so I doubt they're to SHA-block. If they make one PW in SHA it will be Oona (=Liliana in disguise?)
    I can see them making different cards of the same PW (maybe altered effects or colors) after all they're Legendary and PWs so they'd have to be important in some story and change in personality and thus in what they're able to do.

    I have cracked a box, made LOR and MOR preview and two drafts, for a total of 45 LOR booster and got 2 TS (1 garruk, 1 teeg, 1 doran, 1 profane, 2 crypitc, 8 "dual" and 6(!) "shunt/fork" if that's important)

  • posted a message on Mono Black seems good....
    The cards where your op. can choose are not that bad. Either effect is good and you should play the cards when both effects are in your favour. I'd suggsest Curse of the Cabal as "combo" with Temporal Extortion, if you can play them in two turns in a row, and your op. didn't sac something, s/he'll have the choice between half of his/her life and half of his/her permanents and you gaining an extra turn. if they lose life, follow it with some direct damage (command, soul spike, consume spirit) or damnation, and the BB counter just got that much better. if they did sac and give you a turn, play some discrad and spot removal. both are game winning actions.
    you should be able to handle both effects if you play such cards, sure there are better cards that don't need to be build around that much and don't need that much skill to be played correct...

  • posted a message on [FFL] Possible Cards in Shadowmoor
    It has pros and contras;
    Pro: Maybe it will lower it's price. - It would be just 3 years in standart, if they reprint it later, it will be 4 years in standard.

    Contra: It would be 3 years in a row in standard. - WotC wants us to spend money on boosters (packs/precons) and not on the second market, for 'goyf

    Quote from pwnygirl
    Didn't they already do that whole "horror theme" with a different game i can't quite put my finger on the name though.

    anyhoo i love the art and i espescially think a gothic or victorian thing would be cool it could be some kind of urban sewer beast lol


    Call of Cthulhu.
    ______________
    Rav was not that much goth, nor was it victorian. they told it was as slavic as lorwyn is celtic and I don't see why any guild should be goth,maybe Dimir a little bit for dealing with ghosts and Golgari for being Necromantics, but both miss some very fundamental parts of goth. So does Lorwyn, it may be goth in terms of creepy dark faerietale but not victorian-goth. Forget it, as much I'd like such a set, SHA will not be the one, come on hobbits Kithkin ..., and the block after probably too (not 2 dark blocks in a row)

  • posted a message on Keldon Maurauder and Whitemane Lion
    If you want to play casual... it's ok. I built a RW Pandemonium deck, trying rescue creatures, a year ago and this is ~ what came out:

    I played something like this:


    the phyrexian's were pretty decent with the mogg and the gargadon, but originally they were thought to be "3cc 8 damage" when pandemonium is in play. put an upkeepcost-trigger on the stack, blink, do 8/9/2 damage/-1 land more. the haven is there to store the cretures until you have a pandemonium or use them twice. It wrecked most agro and most controll, didn't know how to treat the deck (combo? agro? midrange?)... the gist: blink is better than lion and we get in MOR a new "blink" *wink*

  • posted a message on [SHA] Based around -1/-1 counters?
    they'd print that like this:
    :1mana::symu::symu:
    Flying
    Whenever you play a instant you may put a +1/+1 counter on ~.
    ~ can't have more than three +1/+1 counters on it.
    1/1

    It's like x : 1/3 = 3x

  • posted a message on [MOR] 3 Cards from Lotus Noir Magazine
    It would be too good if uncommon, but it's bad being rare -> that's a card that never should see printing. (give it reach and some other abilitiy, maybe lower it's power to 1 and I'll be fine with rare)

  • posted a message on Pregnant Students in Denver Ask for Maternity Leave
    Wow, OMG
    you people (not all, but it seems to be a lot) from overseas are so conservative.

    I can see and am able to understand all points discussed here, not saying I agree with all, BUT:

    The idea of getting someone back to school after 2 days (or a week for that matter) is from a clinic point of view just stupid, sry for setting some of you at the level you put pregnant teens. Keep your solutions real, and a girl's not just off for giving birth, a girl in the ninth month is not able to go to school/work etc.

    They had bad luck, I don't say teens ought to have sex as soon as possible but the argument "you should only do it when you can afford a baby" implies that a whole lot of people would have to live in abstinece! You can't be real...

    It's something special, I agree, and you have to be carefull, but all pills and stuff you can take can fail, and do not so just being used by teens. that's not being stupid (no one dies as virgin, life ****s everyone), they are stupid if they did nothing to prevent a baby, so the pope's point "no rubber" is from the middleages.

    Don't make the even suffer more, come on, a pregnant girl is just beyond redemption where you live, a social outcast, not that being mother at that age is enough.

    Give them some break and if they can handle the school, well, otherwise they've to repeat the year. (dunno if one can do that in the USA, we can or have to if we're to bad)

    PS I won't talk about my sexuallife
    there is no. If you belive me is up to you.
