Hey, why not.
Now, this might be hard to digest, guys... but I really, really like Norin the Wary.

Sep 20, 2010Gaka posted a message on My 64 Casual DecksI used to have the same problem. I had a dozen or so decks lying around, and i finally worked myself up into dismantling them, so i have far fewer decks (many failed efforts) lying around.Posted in: RabidVacin Blog
Next step... organizing all my cards! -

Brago is infinite value if you manage to swing with him. There are plenty of ways to ensure he gets through, and once he hits the game should basically be over. You have plenty of value engines that are good on their own, plus a lot of recursion and tutoring.
Tempo counters are to ensure that Brago can be cast as early as possible, plus ensures that you have control of the early game.
Go forth, and blink!
It's my opinion that everyone should have one or two pauper decks on hand. It's a format where decks never die, are literally dirt cheap, and can still hold their own against unconstrained decks now and then.
I use them to demonstrate the power of commons and to teach newer players without breaking out a legacy deck and slaughtering them in seconds. Nobody learns anything that way. However, If I suddenly dive into mono blue delver, I can still do powerful things without breaking the bank and without breaking their soul.
Plus, a lot of pauper decks are just plain fun (RIP Storm)

Sure thing James D:
Stop breaking the rules!
More red stuff please D:
I've already got 20 hours on it. The game's tons of fun.
I really enjoyed the beginning of the movie. It was a fantastic antihero story. It wasn't about the glamor of being a hero, but the beginnings of a friendship.
...then the second half rolled around and we got the old-school love triangle and fighting because we can treatment. The ending numbed most of the beginning, but I still will catch the start to Hancock if it's ever on.
Entertaining, clearly forced but still funny jokes. Michael Pena. Awesome Avengers tie-in. Dat Stan Lee Cameo.
4/5

There is PC, and then there is real talk.
I rarely smoke, only the odd cigar here and there, but grew up around smokers and in highschool/college most folks were smokers of some sort.
The marijuana smokers who were incredibly obvious about it and didn't have any regard for other people were annoying. I don't want to smell your low-quality weed and BO.
The tobacco smokers fell into one of two categories: those who smoked because it made them feel "cool" and those that smoked to have something to do (these were almost exclusively ex-mil or still in service.)
Of the first group, a few were actually conscientious about their smoking. These were the people who stood downwind so everyone else wouldn't be stuck breathing in the waste. Usually, they didn't give a *****. Great indicator of personality, actually. I don't keep much in touch with those folks.
Especially when traveling, I've come to give fewer and fewer *****s about inhaling secondhand smoke. For some people and areas, smoking's just something that happens. Pass a fagot around with friends and just chill.
I don't really mind breathing in the occasional bit of second hand smoke, but if you clearly don't give a ***** about the people around you I might be a bit annoyed.
That being said, 90% of e-cig and vape smokers are usually pretentious douches and fall into my first category.
Skullbriar (not yet updated) is still a significantly stronger aggro option, but for brawlin' on a "budget" this will do.
So here we go!

Personally, I'm offended by the lack of Norin on the banlist.
The problem with Commune with Lava is that it is at its best when you have more mana than you know what to do with. If you've got six billion mana and this in hand, then hell yeah. Until that point, however, you get to stare at it with distaste. Casting it for one isn't useful. Casting it for two sucked up four mana to exile two cards you may or may not want to play now but might want to later. At the very least the cards stick around until the end of the next turn, so it's not completely useless.
If you're playing a UR storm, this card is probably crazy useful. You can cast this for some amount at the end of turn and go into the combo turn with another X cards to play with. But we're not a combo deck. This effect isn't useful to us.
