the sad thing is that while we look for a good ability to go on the green kirin, we did the same thing for the green shoal, and that turned out to be pretty darn bad.
im not saying it will happen again, but it could and i really wouldnt be surprised, especially if the thing has flying, then it would need a bad ability to be equal color pie wise.
heres an idea........maybe only the blue one deals with converted mana cost, and the green one could just give you a single 2/2 token each time, or something close to that.
Well the two things i see with this card are that it can be good if you can play cards so that you dont have three to discard, or you could use it with sweep to greatly increase your handsize temporarily, and then discard lands you dont need, which would mean you are keeping just the cards that actually help you.
well it seems like in a three color (GWU) deck you could use mana acceleration, and lots of cantrips to get your 4 spells in one turn. once you get the guy flipped, you can play enduring ideals getting a ghostly prison or two if you need it, but other than that, go straight for the rule of law to lock them out of the game, and then get a red or green honden to win with, most likely green since you already need the manafixing. That leaves you and your opponent locked out of spells for the entire game, but you have a new token every turn, and incase your opponent has threats out, get a white honden, seeing as how you get an enchantment every upkeep.
the deck could then be something like this (keep in mind its 5:22 am here)
4 erayo (DUH!)
3 enduring ideals
4 sakura tribe-elder
4 kodama's reach
4 reach through mists
4 serum visions
3 wrath
1 rule of law
1 green honden
2 white honden
1 red honden
1 black honden
2 ghostly prison
4 conjurer's bauble
4 tendo ice bridge
9 forest
6 islands
3 plains
thats a pretty rough draft, but it has 12 cantrips at one mana, 8 cheap fixers, and just enough stall to hopefully let you get the "combo" off. the good thing is that the deck can win without erayo, since it can get a win just off of enduring ideal with all of the hondens.
WOW, tidwell, i must hand it to you, just like MR. Anus's sig says, your post was simple yet elegant. I like how you tricked everybody into ****ting there pants and for another page after admitting you lied people thought that you were actually the messiah bringing godly news.
Well this is an interesting turn of events......Welcome bill, dubbs, whatever you want us to call you, i hope P is right in saying that you will contribute to the clan.
well for me, i've been trying to find a way to make up school work, since i was out for more almost 2 weeks in a row, without doing any of the actual work......... im gonna go mow the lawn, or something, because i will do anything to avoid school work.
@unsanitary: it sucks that you feel that way, but i hope we can convince you to come back sometime in the future.
for everybody else: POST!! can't yoou see what our laziness is doing to the thread. We'll never be a SEALAB, but we can at least have an active clan thread.
well, for what i've been doing lately, a friend who has a hooka came over last night, it was strawberry, and thats pretty much all.
For one answer no the universe isnt endless. the hubble telescope has supposedly seen the edge of existence but it is expanding at a mind boggling rate. Its funny how everything that exists in all of existence probably exists in the very center of all of that space, and even though it probably covers a deckadillion or more cubic miles (that this much 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) it is probably still contained within about 1% of all the space that is, and that percentage is always shrinking.
I have once thought about this very same idea, only came from a very different line of thought. I was thinking about how the universe was created and though that it was possible that somehow within existence itself, some sort of being (supposedly god) could set rules for existence such as the effects of gravity and the limits of strength and distance. then he could create everything so that according the limitations and boundaries set, everything would coincidentally act out in all of being and time so that at the very end of time, all these actions would end up recreating this god through the knowledge of the rules of the universe and that person(now god) could recreate the rules and reccreate time itself before the "big bang" that would simultaneously end all of existence itself and restart it from the begining.
This theory does allow for some freedom of thought though, because in it the purpose of each individual life form, or material (obstacle) would be to act in only certain events in a certain way, and all time that is not needed to be spent in these actions could be used for whatever the individual wanted as long as the obstacles around them made sure they would complete there next task to affect something which would affect something, which would affect something etc that would end up culminating the ultimate being understanding all the confinements of existence and would therefore be able to set these in his/her/its mind and restart everything.
This also fits in with the chaos theory in a way in that if i punch a wall, and brake my hand i will affect not only myself, but the doctor and people in the hospital as well as even some financial aspects. it is impossible to comprehend all the influences that one person is put through in a lifetime. and not just from people, a boulder faling on your leg and breaking it is obviously an influence and even the subtle touch of a grain of sand on a beach that can just give you the feeling it gives.
Just the fact that we are even trying to find out about the world around us etc is proo enough that this theory could be true, because everyone reading this was somehow affecteed in there life to wonder "why?" and "how?" and then saw the title on this thread. and the sharing of ideas will eventualy spread knowledge and ways of thought we may not yet be able to comprehend because of the limits we set on ourselves to explain what we know, and find out about what we dont know (i mean language, there cannot be a word for an idea or rule that we dont know exists and have no way to measure in an experiment. those ways of thought and ideas that were spread by conversations like this could eventually end up making this being with that "infinite knowledge" (see what i mean, infinite does not nessecarily make sense here since the being doesnt need to no how to tie a shoe, only how to affect things so that they will do they're jobs in the grand scheme of things, and even as i type this i am struggling for the words to desdcribe this idea) and that being would do their job, which would be to basically make themself do there job again at the end of the next set of "time" which makes me wonder why it matters if that is the whole purpose of existence, could it be that we are just here..............to be here...........because there is no reason not to be here...........most likely none of us will ever no, but we will still look for it and pas ideas onto the next generation. possibilities are endless and i no that if it were possible i could be content with trying to find more information just through sitting in the same place my whole life and thinking, because i will never think all there is to think unless im that special someone, i never said i wasn't crazy you guys, and even crazy can hope.:p
I have a few friends that smoke and i really dont no why they do it. I ask and they say it calmes your nerves, but thats only because they have a mild addiction that make them feel anxious and aggitated when they dont have one for a long time.
I will admit that i tried one this summer with no intention of making a habit of it, just wanted to no what my friends were feeling, and i see what they mean when they say it gives you a "buzz" but that wasnt enough for me to start doing it, and that wa the only cigarette i've ever smoked and dont expect to do it ever again. I cant say im completely innocent though, because i do still drink and Stuff Like That(tm)
Edit: btw all my friends that smoke dont do it more than 3 times a day max, some days none at all.
to be quite brutally honest this just seems like a grw good stuff deck that just happened to end up playing lots of samarai. White had most of hte good samurai, and instead you are playing devoted retainer, i would suggest playing either white weenide with tallowisp, or WR legends because both have pretty similar themes to this deck, but are much more focused and powerful in the early/midgame.
this is pretty cool, it is kinda sad though that we're not getting information, i just dont want to o into the prere completely blind, but im almost getting happy that they are trying to keep the cap on the set this time. If we dont no all the cards it could be very cool to watch everyone scramble to find out what cards are godd while they're at the prere.
like i said before though, im pretty much just watching as everything unfolds, if we get the spoiler though, i might almost be kind of dissapointed, but then again im really stupid so why are you even reading this.
It seems like a very good idea (although taken from starcity) but i think u definitely need more godos, and more beats, cause the deck doesnt have much of either one, and that is obviously the point of the deck.
To start with i would take out the divining tops and splinter, and put in another godo, and another brothers yamizaki, because you need more of each of those because in this deck it seems like you are relying on time of need WAY too much.
If I were you i would also cut 2-3 more cards (we took out 3 and put in 2 so we have one extra slot now) and either add kodama's might, to act as a semi-removal spell and a splice vehicle for gracial ray(main point) or would just add more removal that can go to the head as needed, such as yamabushi's flame.
Well i went to the doctor today thinking i either was having asthma problems, or possible mono cause my friend had it and some of my other friends are showing symptoms. It turns out that i have a sinus infection and some other stuff going on at the same time, and i have 4 new prescriptions to take once or twice a day until it goes away. Its going to be hard to remember when i have to take all the medicine, and i really think it might be a cool idea to just stay a little sick for a while, and not have to go to school.
Well it seems that wizards is really trying to keep the cap on this set, arccording to R_E they aren't doing it well enough, but they sure are trying.
This all seems very good for R_E though, as it will prove his credibility, and MAY also prove that no one else has his sources. It may be that the sources do not want him to reveal there cards as has happened many times before in the past.
As for me, I will be plenty happy with a few cards to explain the overall power and layout of the set, and i want to understand all the new mechanics ahead of time, just so i dont go in completely blind. It might be fun if we dont get the spoiler, i really dont care though so i guess i will just watch as everything unfolds.
@ everybody: i have no problem with justin(himdasherin) posting here, and he sounds llike a pretty cool guy who will have some interesting stories to tell, we also could use all the thread activity we can get so the more the merrier.
@justin: i have no problem with you posting here, and you sound llike a pretty cool guy who will have some interesting stories to tell, we could also use all the thread activity we can get so the more the merrier.
@everybody: i wish we could get a pretty cool person to post here, they would have to be interesting though, so they would have interesting stories to tell, we could also use the thread activity so the more the merrier. wait...............i think i broke my brain..........................thats fine i dont need that anyway.
so besides that i've had a very weird past few days. A tree felll on my garage (i broke my brain remember) and we kept chopping of random parts with the help of fire here and there, and then i accidentally lit my pants on fire, and gloves, except that was on purpose. I poured gasoline on a tennis ball, and lit it up and threw it around and it lit the gloves on fire but it didn't burn me and it was pretty cool tossing the flaming ball around on the roof. Oh and while I was chopping the tree my friends ****ed in my bed, and im going to go make sure they "cleaned up after themselves" cause i dont want any surprises when i go to bed.
P.S @himdasherin: why didnt you just spray yourself with some kind of cologne before you went back to school? or maybe just axe? just an idea for next time, if there is a next time.
P.P.S. @ himdasherin: I have no problem with you posting here and...........:p
i dont think he should get a warning though, somebody was booound to do it, and it didnt cause any harm.
im not saying it will happen again, but it could and i really wouldnt be surprised, especially if the thing has flying, then it would need a bad ability to be equal color pie wise.
