Sting vs Taker in any ppv other than WM I'm fine with. Do not take the legendary Stinger into a squash match. "One More Match" was more for Sting vs Flair one last time.

So apparantly WWE and Sting are talking monikers for him. So it looks like last night's "Contract vs Title" match was Sting's last match in TNA. I've got mixed feelings about this. As much as I want to see Sting in WWE's HoF, I don't want to see him get smashed for a year to get it. However, I think the perfect angle would be allow Sting some time off. Around July/August, have Flair come back and be a manager to a heel. Have him constantly involve himself in the match. Have Sting show up and challenge Flair to "One More Match". Make it at Wrestlemania. Will it be a classic barn burner like their previous matches, no. But it's nostalgia and it would be AWESOME!!!.

RIP Mae

As for Daniel, I'm hoping his next promo is about how he knew the only way to get Bray alone is to join them. Like he had this mastermind plan the whole time to get Bray in a cage by himself. Kane is slowly turning back to face, so I feel his reign as Corporate lackey is coming to an end. His real life political stuff must be coming to an end. All in all, that was an AWESOME Raw.

I cannot wait until Roman splits from the Shield. He has the most potential. Out of curiosity one day I looked him up. Hes related to Rikishi (Usos obv) and The Rock. Wrestling is in his blood.

As for Batista. I dont care for him since the whole "Eddie's dead" incident. Also with Henry, Ryback, Cena, Roman, Big Show, and Langston, we have enough powerhouse wrestlers. Id rather see Shelton Benjamin come back.

TLC was ok. The main event was a surprise thats for sure.

Raw was ok until the last segment...then it was AWESOME! How did Natalya get the last match? lol. It's rediculous how "over" Daniel Bryan is. WWE isn't stupid, they will milk this. This is how I see the storyline unfolding

Cena wins the TLC match (obv w/ The Authority standing beside him at the end) and turns "tweener" (as he isn't a tweener now lol)
Orton turns on the Authority.

WM will have the main event of Orton, Cena, and Bryan for the title. We will get a classic Triple Threat Match that may end up being better than Michaels/HHH/Benoit

Also, HOW IN THE HELL DID Cena/Rock win Match of the Year. Rhodes vs Shield was INSANE!

You could try it in a BUG Vial Deck. Your shell could start off

4 Eternal Witness
4 Haakon
4 Cryptic Command
4 Abrupt Decay
4 Nameless Inversion
4 Thoughtseize
4 Aether Vial

Then you go from there. Probably only need 2-3 Abrupt Decay. Also finding more 3 drops for Vial (Vendillion Clique is probably the best one).

Hope that helps.

I was so ready to mark out when Cena came out during Orton's segment. When they started talking about a match, my interest peaked...then fell off the face of the earth. When HHH said something that's never been done, I envisioned an epic style battle. I envisioned each title held up over the ring (in different spots). I envisioned; Cena, Orton, Bryan, and Show. TLC rules. If you get a title, it's yours. And you can go after both. Maybe throw in Sandow and Del Rio. But Alas, we get a 1v1 we've had over 50 times. Orton is actually decent in Ladder matches, Cena, not so much.

I was quite impressed with Mark Henry and Big E together. I hope this becomes a thing. Honestly pro wrestling needs an African American team that's just not stereotypical hip hop guys. This team could be very "Doom"ish. Just don't go overboard vince and have them wear daishikis (spelling). lol.

Looks as though Roman is getting a push. I'm ok with this, as he's very athletic for his size. I'd rather watch him over Ryback any day.

I think Show's getting 1 last push. We might see a retirement match at WM or something. As much as people don't like him/care about him. I love the fact that he's been wrestling for 20 years at his size. Look at all the other "giant men" (Andre, El Gigante, Nash, etc). Those guys were either not very good in the first place or their careers didn't last long. Plus Big Show always puts on a good show. Some of my favorite moments have Big Show involved (Eddie Guerrero spiking his burrito...that was so funny, Brock Lesnar superplexing him and imploding the ring, his battle rap with Cena, his Angle shenanigans). Big Show has entertained a lot of people and he deserves one last curtain call run if this is his retirement run. Plus he's the only guy to ever hold All 3 Major Championships (WCW/WWE/ECW). Instant Hall of Fame.

In case you never seen or forgot:

Hey guys, I'm going to GP DC and if I can get my hand on 4 SnTs (my buddy has them just hasn't decided if he's playing sneak n show or not), then I'm going to run this:



Some odd choices:
2 Quicken - I wanted a way to combo off against Sneak and Show if they Show n Tell first.
Opponent SnTs. I put in Omniscience, cast Quicken, cast Enter the Infinite. Now what I do next is pending on what they SnT'd into play. If they Sneak Attack to drop creatures I can Cunning Wish for Cryptic Command, Tap their guys and return Sneak Attack. EoT Cunning Wish for Release the Ants and get them to 15. Win on casting Emrakul the next turn. If they just put a fatty into play, I would just Cunning Wish into Release the Ants and get them to 15. Kill w/ Emrakul.

No Defense Grid - While this card is really good against Sneak and Show and Delver, I'd rather have 2 Spell Pierce to round out a combo control package.

Cryptic Command - It's another answer to Sneak and Show where if I get to drop Omniscience into play (and don't have Quicken + Enter the Infinite), I can Wish for it and tap their attackers down and draw a card.

Is there other stuff I should be considering? I would like a full set of Spell Pierce in the 75, but not sure how to fit it in.

As of right now, here's my sb plan:
RUG Delver -
-2 Quicken
+2 Spell Pierce
Shardless BUG / Jund -
-2 Quicken
-1 Dream Halls
-2 Pact of Negation
+4 Leyline of Sanctity
+2 Spell Pierce
Sneak and Show -
-1 Preordain
-1 Dream Halls
+2 Spell Pierce
Death and Taxes -
-1 Quicken
+1 Cryptic Command (too slow to wish for)


Any help would be appreciated.

So I've been playing UW for a while now (since right before rotation). I love the deck (it's easily my favorite to play). I've tried something splashy recently and a few players picked it up with me and we have had exceptional testing results. While technically it's "Esper", it only runs 3 black cards in the 75. However, I feel it is still UW Control since it doesn't run the traditional Esper control cards.

So a buddy mine became very popular on twitter and online in general because he obtained a copy of CoD: Ghost 10 days early. He posted tons of pictures and content online. Well yesterday his twitter account was locked and he was notified that Activision will be contacting him. What kind of trouble is he in? Can/will Activision sue him for leaking pictures of a game before the "release date"?

How is the Devotion deck? It runs 1 Devotion based card? This is BG Midrange / Rock.

My guess on the "The Devil Made Me Do It" is one of 2 things.

1. Kane became a leader to them after chasing them down.

2. Undertaker is secretly behind the scenes running The Wyatts. Kane found out and Undertaker convinced him to join forces. If you look at Kane during his segment, he didn't look happy to say what he said. He looked forced into this. (this is the angle I'm hoping for). So you have a Survivor Series be something like:

Kane vs Big Show (since Taker only wrestles WM now lol)
SS Match: The Shield+Wyatts vs Bryan, Punk, Miz, Rhodes Dynasty, and possibly either Ziggler or Big E.

Probably setting up a Big Show-Kane fued to spark Big Show's last push. You have figure he's about ready to retire.

So the start of the breakup of the Shield happened last night. Ambrose braggin about him being the only champ didn't sit well with the other 2. How long until they break up? a month, two months?

I always forget about Hart. Even though he was one of my favorites growing up. I might have to push JJ off my list.
