Dies to Removal

Random, but I don't know where else to ask. This is a kind of dumb rules question. [edit] there's a rulings forum. but it has 4 threads. I imagine no one checks it. If you cast Ordeal of Heliod on a creature your opponent controls, since you control the enchantment, do you still gain the 10 life wh...

Glad that Tabletop featured it, gives it some well-deserved attention.

I decided not to go, just gonna chill and boardgame with friends. Theres another IQ in Dalton GA later this month I believe, so I might go to that one.

RaidaTheBlade

Le sigh. It was pointed out to me that theres an IQ this weekend on saturday about 2 hours from where I live... So now I've gotta decide between driving all the way there and paying the $25 entry fee, or stayig home and playing board games with friends e.e

And Maze's End players. Are you a dirty Maze's End player, Z?
Patience is a virture..

It's a virtue I don't have.

And Maze's End players. Are you a dirty Maze's End player, Z?

RaidaTheBlade

Not quite close enough to play with and such, sadly

It's a shame too, I would ave enjoyed playing with you. ;P

RaidaTheBlade

I have a soft spot for John Avon's Mirage Mountains, especially this one: http://magiccards.info/mr/en/304.html Has it been printed with new frames and black borders, except as a foil in 8th and 9th edition? I think I saw it in a modern frame a few times in that mountain image database... Honestly,...

RaidaTheBlade

Not sure if quote or mental breakdown

RaidaTheBlade

But Z, then you'd be copying Sullivan!

RaidaTheBlade

What amuses me the most is that I just finished looking through the entirety of the mountain art, and I actually ended up at an impasse between what windstrider and DarthStabber said e.e I hit on the kamigawa lands and on that particular fullart. I could either get 20-odd copies of that one zendikar...

RaidaTheBlade

Dear god, so much mountain... https://sites.google.com/site/mtgbasics/home/mountain

RaidaTheBlade

I would love unhinged mountains o.o

I've thought about ordering some 7th editions mountains to use in my standerd deck, but not sure if I should do that, or instead just look through all the mountain art ever and pick my favorites and just order those e.e

RaidaTheBlade

I actually ran vexing devil in my rdw... In my defence it was before I knew any of you, and I only ever ran 2 (despite urging from friends to run more e.e) and only ever treated it as a sorcery slot-wise...

RaidaTheBlade

Yeah, the puppy's already a little ball of energy. We have 2 other dogs though, and they help keep her active. We also have a large backyard (one great thing about living in the south), so she gets lots of exercise playing with us back there Speaking of Satyr, my opponent might think he lived the dr...

RaidaTheBlade

The puppy is so soft and adorable. It's a border collie and is amazing

RaidaTheBlade

Adorableness incoming

RaidaTheBlade

The idea there is that you already spent your mana for the last turn, so theres no way for you to actually cast it EoT. In that case, jetting during the upkeep does put you out 2 mana that turn, but the draw fixing gets sped up by a turn

RaidaTheBlade

Touche, touche.

Also, my mom just got a new puppy, and I'm on dogsitting duty. This thing is adorable. Anybody want pictures?

RaidaTheBlade

Ahh, yeah, in that situation it was a great trade. Leaves you with ash and a cackler. Me likey. I was afraid you meant him going first, your satyr on your turn 1, his lion on his turn 2, and that trade on your turn 2. In that case, board is back to square one, and he's got the next turn. Does still ...

RaidaTheBlade

I can't believe I'm saying this, but my friend decided he wanted to build a fish deck e.e So here's some more stuff he wants, if you have it e.e 2x Kira, Great glass-Blower 2x Master of the Pearl Trident 1x Bident of Thassa 3x Lord of Atlantis 4x Merrow Reejerey 4x Wake Crasher 1x Stormtide Leviatha...

RaidaTheBlade

Yeah, I honestly (and I know that I might be the only one who thinks this) consider jet as important if not more so then lightning strike. The 3 damage can be a lifesaver, but so can the scry.

RaidaTheBlade

Yeah, you technically 'traded up' creature wise, but look t what you actually did. You traded a 1 mana creature, an additional 2 mana, AND 4 life, for a 2 mana creature It's not the worst trade ever, but it can put you behind both tempo and board-state wise. I'd take a mortar or a lightning strike o...

RaidaTheBlade

Rcwraspy's a lot smarter then me, so just listen to him for the time being. That was more of a way of getting into dialogue with him.

Besides, you're not stuck with one setup. Try the shocks for a while and if you miss the scry, switch back.

(Aka, sorry, didnt mean to confuse you e.e)

RaidaTheBlade

Saw that coming a mile away

RaidaTheBlade

I find all this liability waving very distracting, don't make me report you to the mods! ;P

RaidaTheBlade

And suddenly I am even sadder about not being a full member ;-;
I can has tits please?

RaidaTheBlade

Yeah, there's no actual naked tit. Ergo it's weaksauce.

RaidaTheBlade

On second thought, I also think Magma Jet should be Shock. Hate to disagree with rcwraspy, but I do. If absolute speed is your goal, we're not talking devo red anymore, were talking AIR. In AIR, this might be true, but I feel that for devored, magma jet is indispensible. The scry not only combos wi...

RaidaTheBlade

O.o

Suddenly I have less desire to actually play mafia here like i was thinking of doing... Seems way. Too serious/uptight o.o

RaidaTheBlade

I spent most of my money on enhancing my deck...

Now I'm relying on using my deck to make some money back.

So far, it's been fairly satisfying.

RaidaTheBlade

I love showing off my deck. I especially love beating people with it. It's funny when they think their decks can stand up.

RaidaTheBlade

Hate to bump, but I'mma bump. I still really wanna see Z's thoughts on this

RaidaTheBlade

First off, some people are just fuckwits. It happens.

Also, am I the only one who gets really annoyed at people using shit like bipolar disorder as excuses for being asshats? I've got bipolar disorder, and guess what? I take my fucking meds and don't act like an asshole.

Sorry, mini-rant.

RaidaTheBlade

I understand, just lemme know.

RaidaTheBlade

Also, was looking at event lists, and saw there's an elite IQ in melbourne next weekend...(the 3rd)
Z, you gonna go wreck shit?
I'm moving house this weekend

Ahh, that sucks

I'm sorry man.

Dammit, I go to take a nap, and miss my shot at 20000 Congrats to all the old fogeys who made this clan the thing it is. I've only been here a couple of weeks, but I'm already really enjoying it! SM your avatar appears to be broken. You're the second person to say that. It's weird, because I can see...

RaidaTheBlade

Just dunno if there's too many advantages here over a devotion build e.e

RaidaTheBlade
