I've always been curious as to the origin of your handle as well. What's the origin of your handle?

5) If you could make or unmake any one change to Magic what would it be? Why?

1. Uril, the Miststalker (EDH)
2. White (Naya if we are talking shards)
3. Legacy - Wizards (homebrew), Death & Taxes/Burn
Standard - SplinterTwin & White Weenie
EDH - Uril
Nostalgia - Tolarian Academy.dec (Combo Winter)
4. Legacy, I don't play it enough though. EDH, same thing. I play more standard than anything.
5. Reserved List, as it threatens legacy. I have quite a few duals and staples, but I'd rather be able to play them (which I don't get to do very often anywise).

I have a few Foil Kamigawa cards (didn't play during that block) that I've gotten from random people and from buying a collection or two.

WCF - is an xbox live clan. Mo - Dunno, just a short nickname I took on line.

2. What failure in your life have you experienced that you feel is important to have lived through to help you grow?

4. Aside from server/forum/site changes, what is one thing that you would like to see changed about MOTL?

5. What is something that you feel that you are better than most other people at doing?

1. Adversity can make you stronger, most good things in life don't come easy. Sounds cheesy, sorry.

2. Nearly lost some scholarships in college, rebounded over the course of my studies and ended with a pretty good GPA.

3. Buy a home, too much student loans etc.

4. People need to show each other a little bit more kindness/influx of pack to power people. (Though I think they may be correlated.)

5. Reading someone (not talking about poker).

1. I was recently emailed by an ex-member who stated that "MOTL was just a fad". What are your thoughts on that?

2. Do you have a ref number that you'd like to reach? If so, what is it?

3. What's your favorite horror flick?

4. Do you enjoy chick flicks?

5. Do you use a PC or a Mac? Why?

6. Do you watch AGT? Or any reality shows?

Thanks,
Jazaray

1. There's a lot of sites with more content or nicely designed websties dealing with magic, but there's a reason people keep coming here even after they've quit magic.

2. Dunno, I want to hit at least 100, I'm getting closer (11 more!).

3. The Exorcist (I also for some reason love Event Horizon and will watch it when ever I see it on television). I'm watching Tales from the Crypt: Demon Night right now (yeah, same with Event Horizon).

4. Nope. Though sometimes I'm forced to watch them as attrition, I probably secretly like some that aren't completely cheesy and are well acted, but unsurprisingly I cannot think of any :P

5. PC - I've always used a PC, though I'm not completely opposed to Apple, got an Iphone and all.

6. AGT - had to Google it, no I don't watch it. Good follow up question though, I dislike most 'reality' television shows. I will occasionally watch something like American Ninja, Amazing Race, etc. I feel that most 'reality' shows are faked very thoroughly, and dislike talent shows.

Food? Don't have one, I like Pizza, Sushi, Filipino food, Chinese food, etc.

Ten Favorite Movies (in no order)
L.A. Confidential
Idiocracy
Patton
China Town
Fight Club
Memento
Adaptation
Planes, Trains, & Automobiles
The Empire Strikes Back
The Life Aquatic
(actually I don't even know if I can say just 10, but I'll stop)

When did you get into Magic cards and who/how did you get involved?

1997. Bought a Starter Deck of Portal cards and played them with a friend.

Are we (America) going into a depression?

Perhaps another recession? America certainly has not hit rock bottom, yet. I do think with the recent actions of the government and the banking crisis in Europe we may be in for worse. I'm not an economist, nor do I get paid to talk about it so I'll defer to the more prolific and wordy members of MOTL.

Where do you see the future of America's economy and general state heading and what could be done, in your opinion, to better it?

I think we need a diversified job market, which currently is shrinking. We can't become a service nation. How do we actually get some of those (industrial, etc.) jobs back in the states? There's multiple theories that I'm sure you are probably aware of, so I'm not even going to take a crack at answering it - as I don't know the answer. We also need to set in place regulations that were deregulated that caused the 2007/2008 subprime recession.

If you could change 1 of the things in the mafia/werewolf games what would it be?

Do you have any Grave Titans for trade?

What 5 motlers you'd like to meet and why?

Question 1 - Yes, that game was super awesome. It is my second favorite game of mafia/ww (the first being the one where I successfully claimed I was the cop when I was a mafia) http://classic.magictraders.com/ubb/Forum12/HTML/017042.html. "By the way, how do actually know that Gawain was the cop? I mean, besides Liq saying so?" http://classic.magictraders.com/ubb/Forum12/HTML/016820-3.html

If you could change 1 of the things in the mafia/werewolf games what would it be? - Well first I wish we could still play them, and hopefully people would be a little bit nicer so we could continue to play them. Personally, I'd always hold my tongue on my first suspect, as it always turns out it's a player role (it's good if I'm a WW or mafioso).

Do you have any Grave Titans for trade? Maybe, I have the new promo version I got from buying Duels of the Planeswalkers 2.0.

What 5 motlers you'd like to meet and why? (in no particular order)
1. One of the mods (Jaz, Nder, Slinga) - because of my love of power.
2. Malroth - so I can tease him in person.
3. OGB - very classy guy.
4. Zakman - get to see his foil Japanese EDH deck
5. Bernek & You - see mafia 9.

I guess my question is how stoked are you that you won the award that you ever only have one shot at?

Didn't you win 2010 motl rookie of the year? Somehow, yes I did.

I guess my question is how stoked are you that you won the award that you ever only have one shot at? It was pretty cool, I'm still waiting for the fame and fortune though. I honestly thought Thror had a better shot.

Do you mostly just play 1v1 edh that uril is you favorite or is your playgroup not playing with 8 pieces of mass removal at all time to compensate for him? I play a mix of 1v1, and Uril can be good enough in a 4 player game. He's definitely not ideal, but I enjoy him because he's an honest general - nothing like hitting people for a 100 points of damage with a huge beast. It also helps to run the umbras, Shield of the Oversoul, etc. - to make him immune from a lot of board sweepers. I also run anti-hate with cards like Gaddock Teeg, Impending Disaster (hard to sweep the board with no lands), etc.
