TimeBeing Member	posted July 25, 2011 10:58 PM So my judge foil dark confidant got nice and bent in the mail. Stupid USPS. Any advise of flattening it. It just curved not creased but it's curved a lot (and foil) In a Book right now.

Oh no they did it It was mailed in a large bubble envelope with a piece cardboard. USPS then decided to fold it in half. And sadly the card was right on the fold.
caquaa Member	posted July 26, 2011 12:21 AM In a draft and just opened p1p1 urabrask, shrine of burning rage, and act of aggression. Which do you take? Was a very nice pack for sure.

Was a very nice pack for sure. I'm fairly sure I would take the Urabrask. It's a huge threat on its own (a 4/4 haste for 5) and just swings the game more towards your favor; your creatures are a turn faster, your opponent's a turn slower.

caquaa Member	posted July 26, 2011 01:06 AM My choice was act of aggression for mostly the same reasons. Its a single card that can swing the game in my favor but doesn't have any color requirements.
stu55 Member	posted July 26, 2011 06:57 AM Urabrask because than you can draft an aggressive deck around it and the coming into play tapped against you is seriously the biggest tempo swing you can get in this block, even more than act of aggression
Montague Member	posted July 26, 2011 07:01 AM If Act of Aggression let me gain control permanently, I would agree it could be the pick. Urabrask is a beating and I definately take him there.

It just curved not creased but it's curved a lot (and foil) In a Book right now. This happened to me in a trade with another member on here. Also a FOIL Dark Confidant too, but a regular one of course. Anyway, I did what the other guy already suggested to you. Sleeved it, put it in a thick book, and then put a bunch of books on top of it. The sad thing is, you can't never really get the crease out. It's not noticeable, but it's there if you look for it.

My envelope was folded in half and crammed into the box as well. Fortunately, the card had slid to the side and was missed.

The sideboard needs work though. Needs more manlands, I think. 4x UB 4x Dread Sanctuary 4x Inkmoth And maybe a few of the 'does stuff' lands from zendikar.

I could see running Halimar Depth or something to help set it up. Outside of tar pit to have a UB source though, I don't see the need for the others. You're killing with zombies. I imagine you aggressively mulligan with this to make sure you have at least Treasure Hunt in hand to start. __________________ Wisconsin - smells like dairy air!

I feel like you'd mull into ZI, not Treasure Hunt, because you can't do anything with all those cards without ZI except discard to 7.

That definitely is not what Dark Confidant was expecting to see "on the stack". Hehe. Hehe. Also, on a different topic, do you know how that zombie deck did?

Its a fun idea but i feel its going to fall a little short.
iccarus Member	posted July 26, 2011 11:42 AM If I actually gave even half a care about standard, I would totally try this out. Heck, I might just build it as a joke. The deck can't cost more than $5 to put together, even if you run a few fancy lands. __________________ Wisconsin - smells like dairy air!
-PoX- Member	posted July 26, 2011 01:27 PM That zombie deck loses to one duress / mana leak in a pretty hardcore fashion.
Timmyhill Member	posted July 26, 2011 04:09 PM I think someone posted a list of the top EDH - cube commons/uncommons but I cant seem to find it could someone point me to it?
Goaswerfraiejen Member	posted July 26, 2011 05:10 PM So I just tried to update MWS with M2012 the usual way: googling the MTGSalvation patch and patching it in. But when the patch was installing, it got to 223 or 243 (I'm not sure which) out of 249 cards, froze for a bit, and then crashed completely. Since then, I get this error: quote: Critical error - file C:\Program Files\Magic Workstation\data\ Sets.dat not initialized. Reinstall MWS. Sure enough, when I check out the file, it's got 0KB, so it's effectively empty. What the hell happened? __________________ "I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.

MWS is a buggy POS and needs to be re-coded, from the ground up. __________________ Joz - can we ban Leshrac for not fixing the Chrome PM issue?

mattw Member	posted July 27, 2011 09:06 AM Anyone know of any cards that blow up the world like obliterate, decree of Annihilation and Jokulhaups? Preferably not the disk since they can see that coming.
