Axel was and still is a douche.

Amen to that. He literally had the best rock band on the planet at his
fingertips and pissed it all away thanks to his ego.

That seemed to be the way of it back then. The vocalist > the band. Most of them had that attitude. Mustaine was a huge prick too. Dude even claimed to have invented thrash metal.

Do your ears a favor and go to Youtube, or something, and listen to Halestorm cover "Out 'ta Get Me".

Mustaine had a huge chip on his shoulder. And honestly, you can't blame him. If I was kicked out of Metallica the way he was, and then heard Kill 'Em All come out with a bunch of riffs and songs I wrote played by some Bay Area "nobody", I'd be mad at the world too.

But he got over it. About twenty years later.

Motherfucker shouldn't have been getting completely plastered before
going on stage to ruin the whole show, then. I'd have mailed him back home too.

There was only room for one alpha male in Metallica and it wasn't gonna be Dave.

Right, it was going to be Lars.

Is it too much to want a LGS that plays Modern?

[DocLawless]

No sir it is not.

[LP, of the Fires]

Ok, was always indifferent to Finkels articles, but this is fucking hilarious. There's a dennis rodman reference and questioning the existence of a god he doesn't believe in when people cut electromancer.

Faithless Looting is for the faint of heart, Storm is not.

Good stuff.

[DriftingLifted]

Well written and entertaining article aside, Finkel looks mad handsome in his little straw hat.

The article made me laugh, but I actually disagree with a lot of what he was saying towards the end - especially about Faithless Looting.

There, I said it. I've disagreed with Finkel.

[LP, of the Fires]

I was actually happy he agreed with me because I hated the idea of playing looting and more lands. You're just diluting your deck. His version is just so...sleek. Every card does the same thing.

It helps that desperate ravings is one of my all time favorite magic cards.

[LP, of the Fires]

I'll jump into the storm thread and we can talk theory later.

[Khaospawn]

You read Shrout's article on SCG yet?

[Dechs Kaison]

I swore at my brother's wife on a Facebook post.

Now he's threatening to write me out of his life.

I'm not at all sure how to take this.

[LP, of the Fires]

Figure out what his problem is. Likely a symptom of a bigger issue.

@Khaos: I'm in the middle of my reading for the day. I just finished Sam Pardee's article and now I have Mcclains and Shrouts on my platter.

[LP, of the Fires]

And Alex Mjaltin(most likely to play affinity in MOdern since a friend of mine actually has that deck built).

[Khaospawn]

I swore at my brother's wife on a Facebook post.

I'd give it some time. Why'd you swear at your bro's wife anyway?

[Dechs Kaison]

Honestly, because I'm wound pretty tight as it is, it didn't take much. I snapped, cooled off, and apologized a little later.

He's still bent.

[Valdarith]

I enjoyed Finkel's article immensely. One of the best I've read in awhile.

[DroppinSuga]

Im reading the Storm articles right now. Jon Finkel is a true man's man.

[Lightning_Dolt]

What did you say? Was it a "shut the fuck up" or a "you're a fucking money grubbing whore"?

[Dechs Kaison]

I said "Who the fuck is so insecure about their own opinions they have to delete dissenting ones? Can't we have some tolerance for diverse opinions in here?"

(She had posted an article that claimed homeschooling didn't teach tolerance for diverse opinions and she said that wasn't true. The comment of mine that she deleted was respectful. It said something along the lines of: "Well, it's pretty simple to see that 15 teachers will present more diverse opinions than 2 parents, and 1200 other students will present more diverse opinions than 4 siblings.")

[DroppinSuga]

trolling on facebook is perfectly fine when done safely

Seems like a legit point to me.

[DroppinSuga]

is it too much to ask that someone send me some fetches?

Then she is being over-sensitive /ridicolous. Should blow over. I often tell people off on facebook as part of an effort to removeuseless people from my life, but you have
to be careful with family.

[Lightning_Dolt]

is it too much to ask that someone send me some fetches?

Yes?

[Dechs Kaison]

So, I'm not crazy? I mean, sure I overreacted and probably shouldn't have swore.

Is that enough to say "you're dead to me"?

[DroppinSuga]

Yes?

that's what i figured.

[LP, of the Fires]

You know your family and whatever issues there are better then any of us will, but I reiterate, there's probably some other underlying problem.

[Lightning_Dolt]

Is that enough to say "you're dead to me"?

You overreacted, but you basically also called her stupid for holding an opinion that is obviously wrong to any logicalpersin. The reaction is based on emotion, not reason. Give them time to see that / tell other people what an asshole you are (and get the same reaction I gave) and it should blow over.

[DarthStabber]

Is it too much to want a LGS that plays Modern?

Yeah, it is a little much to ask, at least if you want modern regularly. Stores know they can fill up standard and drafts with little issue, where as sealed (outside of prereleases), block, modern, legacy, and vintage not so much. They can even hold commander events with little worry about people not showing up. If there is an upcoming major event in the format they can usually get the format going for a little while, but not past the event, unless a significant portion of the shop's patrons are interested in it. At one LGS I go to they can't get people to show up to modern or legacy, but they can actually do really well with pauper events, and that's not even a supported format, and the other
shops don't even try unless there is a big event in the near future (like sealed before BnG PTQs, or legacy before an SCG Open).

[Lightning_Dolt]

Now finish burning the bridge by posting "Do you even logic bro" on her wall.

[DocLawless]

This all sounds wildly over-reactive on his part. I mean, some people really just can't handle having the bubbles around their tiny little paradigms popped by dissenting ideas, and Facebook tends to be a breeding ground for those types of people... Is that normal for your brother or his wife? Because I'm kinda leaning towards agreeing with LP in that it sounds like they're the ones with some kind of problem.

[Lightning_Dolt]

Dude, post something Anti-Feminism on facebook and see what happens.

[DocLawless]

If I did something that out of character, half my friends would report my account as hijacked.

[Sasky]

Not sure if this has been mentioned, since I have difficulty catching up on reading posts here.

Ham got mentioned in a tcgplayer article! http://magic.tcgplayer.com/db/article.asp?ID=11671

Sweet deck!

[DroppinSuga]

[Self Medicated]

Dang. Just failed the ham challenge.

You're right, out-reasoning a feminist is like shooting a fish in a barrel. I should probably stop trolling.

[Lightning_Dolt]

What am I doing with my life? Lol
