I had both my nose and lip pierced in my younger days. I was a hardcore kid so it was fairly normal.

I don't judge people with piercings or tattoos for the same reasons that I don't judge gays or people who are transgendered. I don't know what tree of decisions led them to make those choices, but I can still respect them for following through on them.

You guys sound like assholes, and you should be ashamed of yourself.

[Alex]

And you know that it must be pretty bad if I'm the one who has to tell you that you're being an asshole.

[hamfactorial]

Guys, it's clearly better to be neutral as fuck like me.

Liked and commented. Not bad for a first article.

In the future though, if you plan to write regularly, I'd stick away from basically a written deck tech since you just become one of 100 people doing the same thing. Something like a tourney report is great because even if it's also something people do a lot, you have a lot more room to add flavor and pizzaz to it; you get to be a story teller which can be compelling.

Whatever way you go, play to your strengths; which requires identifying them. Your a fucking champ so if you treat your writing like your playtesting, you'll be at the top of the game in no time.

[Lightning_Dolt]

Cheers mate. Have a GPT this weekend I'm going to try to win, and then I can write a report lol.

Well, this is "updated" for now. I'll add more lists but people are going to have to submit 'em. I just cherry picked a few mono colored ones for templating sake.

Those who don't give a shit put it in all the bitches.

do you judge people who wear fedoras

or capes to pre-releases

[Alex]

Only when they're fat.

BTW here is the intro I've been using in my videos to draw awareness to DtR:

I'm making a slightly new one soon.

Also here is the Mat I've been using:


Made by NerdBoyWonder.

You guys have any suggestions in improving these (I'm working on new credits and intros for DtR now so advice would be great).

Actually would be a sweet looking playmat in irl if NBW made a high rez image of it

I'm trying to figure out a good cardio workout involving a jump rope.

Anyone have experience with this sort of thing with advice?

I do all of my exercising either on the job or at home with some dumbbells in my living room. I don't do a lot of cardio (which, I admit is not a good idea), but what does work is throwing punches or shadowboxing or whatever you want to call it. Just stand with your knees bent and punch. Do it exactly like you what see in the those movies where all the ninjas are training - slow, controlled, and deliberate. Just wildly throwing punches around with your knees bent will just waste your time and breath. Not only is this good cardio, but it also strengthens your core, as well as the obvious benefit of knowing how to
land a killer punch. The best benefit though? You'll learn how to control your breathing, which is very important if you are actually ever in a fight. The biggest mistake a lot of people make when fighting is forgetting to breathe properly. Breathe in when you pull back, and exhale as you deliver the punch.


Edit: I know my advice has nothing to do with jump ropes. I actually misread your post since it was really early in the morning when I read it. I thought it said not involving jump ropes.

Re: Workout Tunes

As far as good work-out music goes, I prefer anything loud, fast, and aggressive. This ranges from NOFX to Motorhead to Trivium to whatever. The trick is to find music that you can get lost in. Find your groove, tune the world out, silence your mind, and get to work.

I wouldn't ever want piercings. To much of a liability if you get in a fight.

Manliest answer ever.



I'm starting to think that May just isn't my month. First my car takes a shit and dies and then yesterday I broke a tooth while eating a peanut at work. Shit was intense. I actually blacked out from the pain; a pain so intense it pretty much felt like I was struck by lightning on the left side of my face. I clocked out from work, borrowed a buddy's car, and drove myself to a dentist by the name of Ming. Actually, his full name is Dat D. Ming. Funny, right? The whole time I was there I kept saying," DEATH TO MING!" in my head. Anyways, Ming hooked it up with some antibiotics and a hefty dose of painkillers. The tooth gets pulled next week, but in the meantime, I get to have an excuse to be high as a kite on painkillers at work.

[windstrider]

That sounds awful, khaos. The drugs sound like fun, though.

I'm fairly well hating life at the moment. More bs drama nonsense; details in the Personal Shit thread for anyone interested. I also have zero motivation to do anything at work this semester. I have a crop of uninterested, unprepared, and unwilling students. I can work with hostile students since they're at least engaging, but this group is just actively indifferent.

[Lightning_Dolt]

Unless it's a "Death to Ming!" tattoo. Then display that shit proudly. If your job doesn't like it, do you really want to work for that kind of company? Lol

[DroppinSuga]

I'm covered in tattoos and no one at my work would no if I didn't roll my sleeves up. Of course, tattoos are allowed here as long as they're not offensive.

[Stardust]

[DroppinSuga]

I don't remember posting a picture of that tattoo to the internet... Damn drunken nights

[Stardust]

[DroppinSuga]

Stardust, you're uglier than I ever imagined.

[Stardust]

But you gotta respect the 'stache.

[DroppinSuga]

Dusty, go post some of your ole EDH lists in the forum!

[Stardust]

I've never posted one of my EDH lists. Though I love discussing strategy and card choices, it's just not a format where I really feel the need to perfect my decks. Spending an hour typing out cards is something that I'd rather avoid when I wouldn't get much out of it anyway.

Besides, my decks' average life expectancy is only two or three months, so... you know. I guess you might convince me to post up Ashling. She's been around for years. Though you can basically guess my list based on everything I posted in freedom's Ashling thread.

[Self Medicated]

I love the fact that a Mono G deck worth a total of $8.13 went 4-0 in a daily event.

[Valdarith]

Link? I don't see what you're talking about. The only thing I see is this white deck:

Sorry. Here you go:

http://mtgo-stats.com/decks/108125

And I just saw the $11 W deck and $12 R deck. The amount of rage from losing to these decks must be incalculable.

[LP, of the Fires]

Watching Pro Tour coverage. Notes:

Prog sphinx is a baller, and there's a LOT of courser of kruphix. Not looking good for my flamespeakers.

[LP, of the Fires]

Friend Vidi is 4-0. Feeling excited.

Edit: and he's playing against Tood Anderson. HE MUST WIN THIS.

Care to share your last tweeks of your decks for states? Did you got sb ready and manabase ready? (did you put rakdos's guildgate to fix your manabase? I posted somewhere sugesting cuting swamp, mountain and mutavault for 3 rakdos's guildgates to have perfect mana (but slow a deck down and make it less powerful))

[LP, of the Fires]

Guildgates where actually just bad. Slowed the deck down a lot. I'm trying 1 over a mountain to see if that's fine, but that's it.

Took out 2 duress, and 1 ult price and 1 master of the feast for 1 mortars, 1 whip, and 2 Rakdos's return. Not sure about the whip, but it's powerful and we're just gonna let it ride.

I don't think I care to much if I don't win states, so i'm fine playing a marginally untested card in the tourney.

[LP, of the Fires]

Holy shitballs. Vidi just took an epic game 3 from LSV.

[TubeHunter]

is every game ending with elspeth?

What are the good decks?

[LP, of the Fires]

There are primarily 2 decks:

BUG control with courser, caryatid, Prog sphinx, Ashiok, and removal and RG Elspeth which is just RG monsters with Elspeth.

There are a couple people playing UW heroic, Chapins on Junk, my friend Vidi's playing some werid UB control deck with progs, pain seer and springleaf drum, there was some Infinite combo eidolon of blossoms deck that McClain's playing, but he punted by ulting his Elspeth and losing to bile blight Against Shaheen on Esper.

It's all about Elspeth, Ashiok, Stormbreath, and Courser basically.

I hit a car while riding my bike.

While riding on the sidewalk, there's a drive way with a blind side because of a tree. I didn't see the car. The car didn't see me. So they pull out into the sidewalk and I go crashing into them. Put a small dent in the car.

I'm fine. I didn't hit my head but the shock of the impact was enough to give me a mild headache. I'll have one hell of a bruise on my left thigh and my shoulder hurts. That's it.

[TBuzzsaw]

Hey LP, I might stop by the store before or after work tomorrow to see how states is going. Good luck tomorrow, wish I could play in my home turf.

[LP, of the Fires]

Cool, looking forward to seeing you there.

[Aodh]

GL at states, FoS!
