Dies to Removal

That deck says "Yes I am inferior to UWR Control, but I'm different, and that's what matters!"

Yeah you're right. Thanks for saving me the money. I just hate every modern deck

Just realized I've been playing Sleeping Dogs until 4:30 in the morning. Shit. Gonna be all out of whack on sleep.

Yeah you're right. Thanks for saving me the money. I just hate every modern deck

You can make it work, it does have Snapcaster, he makes everything work

Just add more counterspells and Thoughtseize

UWR is a fun deck, give it a try

Yeah the list needs Thoughtseize and Inquisition.

Yeah I don't hate UWR but my understanding is that it's not good right now. I do like Twin, I guess I can join the dark side.

as in apple pie

Had a jar of that for New Year's Eve - good shine is the best liquor.

I watched Desolation of Smaug last night. I was not impressed.

A pile, right?

I see what you mean about the bad CGI. It was like, does this scene contain an elf? Let's CGI an unrealistic acrobatic action
move! It's cool once or twice in a movie, but for ten minutes straight? C'mon.


SPOILER ALERT!


And why was it called the Desolation of Smaug? He didn't do jackshit. There was no climatic ending. And if that little skirmish at the end was supposed to be the finale for the movie, then I think the only people who may have enjoyed it were the people who never read the book.

And wtf was up with leaving a fraction of the Company behind in Laketown? If I remember correctly from the book, all the dwarves that are supposed to die in the Battle of the 5 Armies are the same ones that stayed behind in the movie. Which leads me to my next point - if Kili and Fili are supposed to die, then what is the point of having Tauriel (a made up character for the movie) supposedly "fall in love" with one of them?

i just joined a theros sealed daily. what a pile. forcing 3 colors hard.

here's what my opponent has played in game 1 so far

grey merchant, keepsake gorgon, keepsake gorgon, anthousa, agent of fates, reaper of the wilds

seems fair

You go girl.

luckily he is the literal worst player ever and i might win this game anyways

and i did. wow. he thought it wise to block with both keepsake gorgons.

without monstrousing either.

what a truly shitty player. oh well. 1-0

nThe action scenes were pretty terrible. In the LotR movies, Legolas did some awesome stuff, but it was all more-or-less physically possible - in these, every fight with him is a Yoda fight scene.

All the scenes with Legolas just standing around were CGI too. I get that Orlando ain't as young as he used to be, but they could have probably gotten away with just adding a little makup and touching that up instead of making his face an obvious CGI effect in every scene.

Hell, there was a scene with either Legolas or Gandolf (can't remember which) riding away on a horse that was completely CGI... nothing special about the guy, horse, or action. You don't even see the rider's face so why the fuck couldn't they have just filmed someone riding away on a horse?

don't talk shit about the hobbit

The movie with not just one, but two pod racing scenes.

The Hobbit: Things Running Away From Other Things

round 2, win die roll, keep unkeepable hand, death to mulligans

Yeah I don't hate UWR but my understanding is that it's not good right now. I do like Twin, I guess I can join the dark side.

Best deck in Modern in my opinion.

That's Patrick Dickmann's list. He's actually running UWR Twin on MODO now that everyone (including MJ) is more or less copying his list. It has huge game in the mirror.

Madding, are you applying for membership with the FoS?

no i am magic blogging here because i am bored

and i lost 1-2 round two

another bastard with two keepsake gorgons in play

round 3 belongs to me

let us try for 3-1 so we don't begin our day in shame

got there

get wrecked, MODO

The movie with not just one, but two pod racing scenes.

Wtf was up with the trippy, straight-from-the-60's, Sauron reveal? I literally LOL'd.

I liked that part.

This trash talk of the Hobbit is disheartening.

there's no pleasing some people

so the dtr account has 6 theros packs as prize from the daily. let's see what i can do with them.

Get a standard deck so I can play it?

that's a lot of limited to win

If it's going to be a community pool type of thing, I've got some stuff to donate.

This trash talk of the Hobbit is disheartening.

Did you endure 2 and a half hours of disappointment yet?

I thought it was better than the first one.

I thought it was better than the first one.

I thought Chasing Amy was better than Mallrats.

I was also drunk as fuck at the time of viewing Chasing Amy. I bet if I watched it sober it would be a piece of shit.

Chasing Amy is a quality film.

I thought it was better than the first one.

Really? I thought the first one was amazing. I'm looking forward to the next one though - dragon stompy, Battle of the 5 Armies, etc. Peter Jackson is going to have to work hard to make it suck. I bet it's still going to have like, 5 endings though.

The only thing I liked about this middle movie was Jackson's take on the talking spiders. I thought that was creative and nicely done. But then again, that leads me to another gripe about the movie: Bilbo never wears the ring for more than a minute. He just takes it off when he needs it the most. Like, seriously? You're fighting spiders - leave that shit on! You're stuck inside Thranduil's castle- leave that shit on! You're literally standing in front of a
dragon- why the fuck would you take that thing off!? Bilbo literally spent days wearing the ring in the book. I don't know why it has to be any different now.
