eXtremeEagle Member	posted June 30, 2011 08:39 PM Nice! I've pulled a Llawan and an Italian Gwendolyn Di Corci from the local shop's $1 rare box, and Magic is the main thing there. __________________ The only thing necessary for evil to triumph, is for good men to do nothing.

Bugger Member	posted July 01, 2011 01:16 PM Q: how many magic players does it take to replace a burnt-out bulb? A: five. One to replace the bulb, four to stand around and complain that the bulb wasn't the part of the electrical system that was broken in the first place. __________________ "I never got any respect at all.

Wouldn't the correct answer be: Five, one to replace the bulb, one to complain that the bulb is busted and is going to break standard, one to complain that it just dies to removal, another to complain that they hate turning the lights on ever since they changed the shape into that ice cream cone thing, and another pining for the old days when bulbs were made of glass rolled on the thighs of virgins and cost $1.00 and he got them but sold them all when they were $2.00 because who's going to pay more than $2.00 for a light bulb.

Also you have the seller of the light bulbs claiming it's the best thing since sliced bread and it's taking the Light Bulb Opens by storm. Buy the light bulb for $24.99, and purchase Lights Premium so you can keep on top of the light bulb metagame!

Dont forget the guy who buys 50 of those light bulbs,never opens them, and then holds on to them in his basement hoping some day that they will be worth 30.00! Also dont forget the guy who's Home Depot is sold out of lightbulbs so he asks all the others to buy him a lightbulb, ship it to him overnight in a 14k gold box..first, and then he will send them 25.50 for it.

Bugger Member	posted July 01, 2011 08:04 PM EDH games should not be 5-person affairs. They get absolutely insane. Some features of the 3-hour ish game I played tonight: - A bonehoard granting its germ +28/+28, plus Wonder and Filth in the graveyard to give it flying and swampwalk - An 11/11 Triskelion courtesy of the Mimeoplasm and Pelakka Wurm - Kuon's Essence and Sheoldred, Whispering One forcing everyone else to sacrifice 2 creatures every turn - Black Sun's Zenith for 6, killing everything, followed by Life's Finale... followed by Living Death bringing everything back __________________ "I never got any respect at all.

Some features of the 3-hour ish game I played tonight: We almost always play 5-person games as a "star" format. It just makes it go so much faster, so we don't end up having super-long drawn out matches. It also makes the politics much more interesting than just a regular FFA. __________________ Wisconsin - smells like dairy air!

This is probably my favorite way of playing EDH nowadays. Since there are 2 dedicated opponents, ppl cant afford to just ramp their first 5-6 turns. Nothing worse than edh just turning into mindless battlecruiser mtg.
Heresy19 Member	posted July 01, 2011 11:51 PM I hate EDH. I suddently have the feeling I'm getting hated right now by the majority of casual players
Sovarius Member	posted July 02, 2011 12:07 AM What is star? I've never heard that term but it just sounds like you can only attack left and right one person over?
CubFan81 Member	posted July 02, 2011 05:25 AM I remember a while back someone mentioned that to get someone to confirm your account on the magiclibrarities forum you had to actually contact one of the admins. Does anyone know which one?
iccarus Member	posted July 02, 2011 05:48 AM quote: Originally posted by Sovarius: What is star? I've never heard that term but it just sounds like you can only attack left and right one person over? That's the basics of it. Five-person game where the people directly on your left and right are your "allies" for the game. You can't attack them and spells/effects that say "opponents" (Grave Pact or Syphon Mind) do not impact them, at least the way we play. You can target them and their permanents though. Essentially, you have two opponents that you need to take out to win and two allies that each share an opponent with you. You work with allies to help take out the opponent you share, but there is a point where you have to stop them from winning as well. quote: Originally posted by Heresy19: I hate EDH. *I suddently have the feeling I'm getting hated right now by the majority of casual players* No hate for you. I remember what it was like not being able to turn off that "must win all the time" switch. __________________ Wisconsin - smells like dairy air!

No, but close to the worst I've ever seen. Which someone printed off and glued on CGI artwork. __________________ Joz - can we ban Leshrac for not fixing the Chrome PM issue?

JensK Member	posted July 02, 2011 08:07 AM Does any1 have a nice archenemy deck list? I need a deck that consistently beats the crap out of alot of people. I have a decent mono black one but I get pounded sometimes playing just 3 opponents.

That is easily the worst alter I've ever seen. Dude clearly just painted over the existing card without stripping off the ink first (using nail polish removal or sandpaper), which means it's much thicker than a normal magic card, making it tournament illegal. Not to mention it's hideous. What, he couldn't be assed/wasn't competent enough to extend the bowl or even match the damn color correctly? Eurgh. 5$ is too expensive for a piece of toilet paper IMHO. __________________ "I never got any respect at all.

Mental Misstep is $3-3.5, keep it out of that box. __________________ Joz - can we ban Leshrac for not fixing the Chrome PM issue? Gunslinga - If I thought it would help, and if I could, I would.
