IE: Tom and I play theme decks (Rebels, Slivers, Elves..) and one of his friends has been trying VERY hard to get a couple of extinctions to play against us. We also tend to play solid white, white/blue, white/green... most of our decks have white in them. He went out and got 4 cards that do 2 damage to target player for each white or blue permanent they control.

For as long as I can remember, we've always had a no color/type hosers rule in our house, because it just sucks all the fun out of the game.

So, I was just wondering what you guys think.

Thanks,
Jazaray

Exactly. There's a reason I have 5 decks that I rotate through randomly, covering various colors and strategies. You could have a house rule regarding it, but personally, I find it far more fun to just surprise them with something new and leave them with a few useless cards in their decks. They'll learn quickly enough.

PT: Philly is close enough for me to definitely go (will apply to judge, but still attend if I can't).

The GP and PT in Paris is interesting. I wonder how that's going to work. If they're run at the same time, then no qualified pros in the GP will be strange.

Cards like Extinction i find ok, because they pretty much have application against anything. you could extinction a creature with shroud, or pro black if you wanted to.

Yeah well, I have four decks. All W Rebels. U/W Merfolk. G/R Eldrazi and G/W Landfall.... See where I'm going? I'm a theme type of player. The only deck I could play would be landfall, and that would mean I'd have to play it ALL night, every time we played.

And while it's true that extinction can be slightly useful against any deck, it completely demolishes just about any of mine.

I'm really beginning to hate the card Luminarch's Ascension too! It sucks SOOO bad in a multiplayer game! Turn 2 cast it. Your 4 opponents go, turn three, have multiple 4/4 fliers every turn. How annoying!

Thanks,
Jazaray

I was under the impression that Extinctions were not diffucult to obtain via the internet.

That said, if you want him to stop being a hater, hate his arse right out the door with Arcane Laboratory and Erayo.

Also, you didn't answer my NK question

Sorry Josh! Yes, there is a store in NK, it's called Baseball Cards of Rhode Island. But, I have a unique idea to do. It's kind of like a Gamer's Department store.

There's a big store for lease down the street, and I would like to section it off. One section for tabletop strategy game (IE: warhammer), one for RPG's and tables there for people to play them, and one for card games and tables there for people to play them as well.

What do you think?

I'm just not sure how to go about it.

Thanks,
Jazaray

I'd suggest adding board gaming and puzzles to the list as well. The more you can widen your target market, the better off you'll be. Nderwife and I have often talked about plans for a store like this, but there's simply no way that it could possibly be successful in this area.

I'll be picking up the rest of what I need for Fae shortly for next month's Extended tourney, as well as using the stuff that I was going to spend on booster boxes for tournaments at the store since they finally started stocking packs and UNH boxes are nearly $100 each and upgrading my Standard deck as well to ensure that he finds out just how unwise it is to upset a lady.

I'm not so worried about winning, now that the locals seem to be getting pretty decent...it's all about beating the one guy. I'm shifting from gimmicky decks like Polymorph and such to more serious decks now that I'm not coming in first every week, but I'm always set to win the head-to-head with this guy, mainly because he's the only one who's really over-competitive and either brags about how he won every game or takes the deck and either makes drastic changes or totally rips it apart and starts over if he loses a single game or two.

Was going to say that sounds a little out of flavor, but then remembered it would give it to all slivers. Just imagining a horde of slivers pushing one of their broodmates forward with a big boost of extra power.

Give them time. They'll bring slivers back eventually
