Dies to Removal

Is is seeing play in anything in Modern? I'm not very savvy on the non-Standard meta.

do you think Huntmasters should be dumped as rotation approaches?

I'm taking jund aggro again, though I replaced the Mogg Flunkies with Lightning Maulers. Check probably won't clear my account until late next week so I'll probably take jund aggro that week too. But after that I need a change. Trying to decide what I want to build next. I'm kinda digging The Aristocrats, but we'll see.

PS - Hondas are gay.

Correction: New Hondas are gay. OG Civics are a work of beauty.

This is what I drive, although it's a work in progress. The engine has been basically completely restored, but I slacked on the body work while living in Orlando because I didn't want it to get stolen and I lived in the hood. (Anybody who has lived in central Florida will know what I mean, I lived on Orange Blossom Trail and Oak Ridge Rd.)

So this begs the question: what do you think of the FR-S?

I'd cut 3 lands and a Domri for 4 Rakdos Cacklers. It's an agro deck so it wants around 8 1-drops. additionally, 27 lands is way to many. The board looks decent though.

He's a mechanic at...Honda.

He's a mechanic at...Honda.

And he's not unemployed? Hondas NEVER freaking die.

I quite like that Spike Jester! Perhaps there's a possiblity of a decent low curve aggro RB deck with it?

But...someone on MTGS already suggested splashing black in Legacy Burn for it...

I dunno much about legacy but doesnt' that defeat the purpose of burn in legacy...

you're mono red so price of progress is a one sided rape train, and you don't get hit by wasteland. And he's a creature that can die/be blocked.

So this begs the question: what do you think of the FR-S?

I'm sorry. English major. Pet peeve. Yeah.

Ignore me.

Many English speakers use "begs the question" to mean "raises the question", &
quot;evades the question", or even "ignores the question", and follow that phrase with the question, for example: "this year's deficit is half a trillion dollars, which begs the question: how are we ever going to balance the budget?" Apart from philosophical, logical, grammatical and legal contexts, some authorities deem such usage to no longer be mistaken.[5][6][7][25][26]


If an editorial argues that same-sex marriage is wrong because marriage is a bond between a man and a woman, the editorial assumes that marriage can only be between a man and a woman—the very notion that same-sex marriage calls into question. The editorial thus begs the question.
Such is the traditional or strict use of the term. Trouble arises, however, because the “question” or assumption is usually left unstated in the statements it describes, and consequently beg the question often means “to evade or ignore the question.” And since the point of claiming that something begs the question is to make
explicit what has been assumed to be true, the expression is also used to mean simply “to raise the question.” These looser meanings have long been condemned by usage commentators as incorrect or sloppy.
But sorting out exactly what is meant by beg the question is not always easy, especially in constructions such as beg the question of whether and beg the question of how, where the door is opened to more than one question. Consider the sentence The proposal to increase funding for agricultural subsidies begs the question of whether these programs were successful in the first place. If you interpret this to mean that the proposal assumes that the programs were successful, when that is precisely what needs to be established, then beg the question is used properly to refer to the logical fallacy. But we can easily substitute evade the question or even raise the question, and the sentence will be perfectly clear, even though it will violate the traditional usage rule.[5]

The news keeps showing interviews with classmates and friends of the 19 year old who is still on the run. Each and every one of them have said that they recognized the suspect from the FBI pictures released yesterday but didn't say anything because they thought "it couldn't be him."

Fucking people should all be arrested or something. Those pictures were released yesterday afternoon. The MIT police officer was ambushed and killed in Cambridge, near where the suspects live, around 10:30 that night. If only ONE of those kids had called the FBI the whole thing could have been avoided.

And the worst that would have happened if their friend was innocent was a surprise, a scare, and an inconvenience.

This is the first time I've heard of this. I learned something new today.

That said, I always hated English as a subject (boring) but am still much better at
it than most in my field.

EDIT: Wiki dat shit.

And they have to shit on aggro a bit more:

Restore the Peace
1WU
Instant
Return each creature that dealt damage this turn to its owner's hand.

I enjoy having mastery over the English language. It alone has gotten me into bed with a lot of women. Women are suckers for the art of the spoken word.

And they have to shit on aggro a bit more:

Restore the Peace
1WU
Instant
Return each creature that dealt damage this turn to its owner's hand.

Eh, either the opponent attacks with a few creatures and the effect isn't really worth it, or they attack with a lot of creatures and you're already dead. Cards that do things post-damage have never impressed me.

"Diction."

I see what you did there.
