Dies to Removal

Is there a reason more people don't sideboard Sigarda? Card still seems busted.

Wow, I've missed some drama.

Re Sigarda: Card's weak. The only deck she's really good against is Grixis control,which isn't a real deck atm.

Also, woot @ promotion!

PLAGUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!

Man you guys are making miss starcraft... haven't been able to play for awhile because of school, and now my internet has been down at my new apartment so I can't play STILL.

I need those protoss tears. I need them

I still love her. She's a bit of a pet card for me(I cracked all four of mine in packs) but still, being almost un-interactable is nothing to scoff at.

In fact, Sigarda, Host of Herons + Savage Summoning = Bitch, you can't do shit.

It appears I missed a bout of totally predictable semi-drama. Shame, shame, shame.

CUNTS!!

I'm drunk.

Sorry if I'm coming off as defensive. Just to provide some background, my son is autistic. He has several friends whom are also autistic. They are an extremely friendly group of kids. They are also very bright. So when someone equates autism with stupidity, it tends to upset me.

Photo, please tell me you copypasta'd this to save time or something. I'm getting serious glitchy "the Matrix is real" vibes and I'm slightly freaked out.

What an agreeable sentiment.

@Alex: that's an awesome idea. What messed up the rubber part?

It just isn't made for that type of treatment, I suppose. I always washed it on cold, but after a while it would just start getting flaky on the bottom side and it would start falling apart. Thankfully I had literally 100 of them so it wasn't an issue. (Coolstuff got a whole box of miscut mats, so instead of them getting thrown away I just took 'em.)

Put them in the dishwasher. They'd probably survive repeated washings.

LOL. He did. That was just me getting sand in my cunt. I needed a few beers this evening to loosen up. I'm all better now. I've been brushing up on my cunnilingus techniques and causing big O's just by eye contact with my wife.

Thank God. I don't have many irrational fears(except I totally do) but being connected to a supercomputer is one of them.

@Alex - Tried to respond to your childhood comments hours ago but I obviously have no aptitude for posting from my phone...

Take your experience as a kid, transpose it back to the 1970's, and you pretty much have mine. But then, bullying was not dealt with in any real manner, and in fact some teachers encouraged it as "correctional". I, however, was anything but socially withdrawn; rather I was a loud, overtly intelligent know-it-all with no filter. I got in fights constantly, but thankfully teachers dealt with such things in the classroom so I never caught any suspensions (just horrible behavior reports that I caught hell for as no one was asking "why"). Lucky for me, our county school system was one of the pioneers in gifted education and I thus ended up in a gifted program with my peers for high school, where I learned to fit in as I was able to read people pretty well.

Was I on the spectrum? I
wonder...child evaluation didn't exist on the level it does today, so instead of a referral to a counselor I got lots of lines to write, lost recesses and so on. My counselor through the my ex's drinking and the divorce said I was most likely just gifted and bored, but my son and the genetics of the thing leave some room for interpretation.

As to kids today, the challenges are still there. My son is socially reticent and we spend a lot of time working on "social stories" and addressing specific issues as they come up so he has "rules" to work from. Still, he's relatively alone, almost never initiating interaction with peers outside of school events and preferring solitary pursuits. We've battled bullying incidents on and off, and I worry for him as high school goes on. More resources are becoming available, and I have relationships with his teachers beyond anything my parents would ever have had, but it's still a slow process.

Kaze, you always manage to make me smile, man...I just bungled up nested quotes as we were debating this afternoon. This group of individuals never ceases to amaze me...even in having differences over something we all seem
to come out ahead.

Jerry, you have an amazing grasp of the English language. Your written words never cease to amaze me. You can seriously describe what I'm thinking better than I ever could myself.

Aforementioned playmat. For the kanji readers, forgive my awful renditions. I made that like 4 years ago, before I started learning calligraphy.

The feelings are true and the sentiments are shared, friend.

And that's a snazzy mat, Helios. What's the writing say?

Thanks, brother...lots of reading, lots of writing and a love of dialog. I think that's why I so love Joss Whedon and Jim Butcher...they are both masters of repartee.

Cheers, my friend!

Warm fuzzies all around!

And that's a snazzy mat, Helios. What's the writing say?

Thanks. "Toshiro Umezawa," "Umezawa's Jitte," and the kanji is some form of "night/shadow," I can't remember which. Has to do with the Kamigawa novels, which are a surprisingly good read. Toshi can travel via shadows in the book.

Sweet work, Helios! Too funny that mats come up...I just finished discussing a custom mat project with Dan Scott. My nephew hit his 10th year as a judge recently (and how many total years in he game I can't even guess), so I'm having a tribute mat done for him. It will be a view "over his shoulder" as he plays Magic, featuring all of his signature props. His cards in play/in hand will be creatures based upon his family...I'm pumped that Dan agreed to do it.

Photo -- That is so incredibly cool.

It's the kanji for night. I am impressed

Thanks for all the congratulations! I had a nice birthday together with my family, got some nice presents and good food, and finished it off with some Babylon 5 episodes. That's all the partying I want at this age...

As for all the drama yesterday...I think the blatant trolling of MTGS needs to stop, it does no good and can harm this community in the end. I think the signature in question was in very bad taste. The discussions that followed were quite illuminating though, I see some of your previous posts in a different light when I know more of your backgrounds. So at least something positive came out of all this.

But yeah, I think any connections with MTGS shouldn't put this site or FoS in a bad light.

We're drowning...the midwest is just getting pounded with thunderstorms and heavy rain day after day. I have a sump pump for my basement, but bare concrete still looks scary damp. I feel like I need to run downstairs and check things constantly...

Send some of that rain over the Atlantic to us. The forecasts here keep saying everyday that it will rain, but nothing shows up...

Just what I didn't want to hear waking up: more heavy rains. My front yard is a swamp right about now. There's standing water everywhere, and the driveway has flooded a few times from all the runoff. Both creeks near me, which were bone dry last year, are running full.

Alex, did you change your sig on Sally or did the staff?

The words "sump pump" sounds dirty as hell.

That was fast! You guys did send over some rain, right? The sky just opened up over here, in a massive thunder shower.

Yeah I know Platypus, its insane over here!

Good. Keep it. We don't want it here.

Apparently, Mark Rosewater mentioned that the new Chandra will have an ability not seen before in red's slice of the color pie. Any guesses on what that might be?

Exciting. Something pushed? That's never been in red's colour pie.

oooo, burn.

maybe she'll go a little black and get a - kill spell a la terror.

We're getting splash damage from the rain over here; brief but horrific thunderstorms. Hope you guys do all right weathering the weather!

Thanks for the compliments on the playmats, I do commissions for a reasonable rate (when I asked around, most people wanted ~$100 for a mat [not actual M:tg artists], and that's just silly). Photo, that's awesome! Do provide pictures.

MTGS Beta: Like regular MTGS, but less aesthetically pleasing and more difficult to use.

That sounds awesome. So stoked.

Life gain?
Enchantment removal?
Using life as a resource?
Non creature permanent bounce?


I'd be pretty happy with something like: -1 Bounce target nonbasic land...

Fuck yo' tempo.

Dan, I'm wondering if I should go rent a boat in order to
come out your way...our back yard looks like your front sounds. Are all the roads passable down your way?
