During the holidays I like to take all the copies of Die Hard and move them from “Action” to the “For the Holidays” section. It’s my favorite Christmas movie by far.
Rich Hoaen looks like Kai Budde on Nutrisystem.
I have come to the conclusion that Next Level Blue is the most complicated competitive deck ever. How to Top, when to Spike, what to put on a Mox, when to crack a fetch land, what to counter, what to let through, when to drop a creature, what to grab with Trinket Mage, when to tap out for a Shackles, what to discard for Thirst, not to mention all of the choices that arise with Cryptic Command, Repeal, Living Wish, and whatever else happens along the way. Now you have to play perfectly. For eight hours. Plus top 8. Trust me when I say that unless you are at the top of your game and are one of the best five players in the entire PTQ do not play this deck. With that said, if you do play it and play it well then there is not better deck in the format.
I was savin’ that bacon!
I keep the worst match notes. The following are things that I actually have written on my notepad from my most recent PTQ with the Hulk deck:
“Got there!”
“Open with Leyline and Crypt? So lucky!”
“Drew Mogg… Sucks… Won turn 3 anyway.”
“Jitte is annoying!”
“Mull to 5… Cuts…. Won turn 3 anyway.”
“Drew 2 Cities against aggro. Cuts.”
“Turn 3 win. I’m a miser.”
“Misclick FTL.”
You should have seen my notes for the PTQ in Cleveland when I played Ideal. What a mess. Good thing I threw those out.
Holy crap, did you see that hockey player catch that razor sharp skate blade to the jugular? Jesus. Think about this: they didn’t show Randy Moss’ pantomime mooning in Green Bay a few years ago for a full day for fear of retribution, but they don’t hesitate 30 seconds to show a man getting stabbed right in the freaking neck, flop to the ice like a pile of laundry being thrown on the couch, streaming blood like a zombie from Evil Dead and on the brink of death. Can someone at ESPN get back to me about that?
I will drink your milkshake! Ssssshlshlshlshlsh! I drink it up!
The Hulk deck is not a worst Dredge. It is not a worse Breakfast. It is not a worse Ideal. It is its own deck. Those who say differently have never played the deck, have never played against the deck, and have no experience watching the deck. You’re out of your element. Please go back to your Next Level barn-fest and leave us alone.
I live about a mile and a half from the Ohio University campus. A few days ago we had some freezing rain, which made driving conditions impossible. By today, most of the major roads were cleared. Unfortunately for me, however, my driveway is not clear. Furthermore, my driveway is up a hill that is, at points, very steep. I slipped three or four times just trying to shovel it off. As a result, I can’t drive my car down it, and as a result of that I have been not only unable to attend class but also unable to leave my freaking house. This sucks so hard.
They call me Dipterans… ‘cos I’m just so fly.
So the rumor I have heard is that the next set, Shadowmoor, is based on the premise that Lorwyn is a plane existing on top of old Phyrexia, and the Aurora it the second coming. This means, among other things, that Yawgmoth gets his own planeswalker cards in the next set and that is balls to the walls awesome. Here’s my early sketch of what he could possibly be:
Yawgmoth 3BBB
Planeswalker – Bad Motha F***er
+1: Target player loses 1 life and you gain 1 life.
-3: Draw 3 cards. You lose 3 life.
-8: Until end of turn, you may play cards in your graveyard.
If a card would be put into your graveyard this turn, remove that card from the game instead.
Loyalty: 6
Based on the cards Yawgmoth’s Edict, Yawgmoth’s Bargain, and Yawgmoth’s Will. This thing is tight.
I was looking up my old match histories on the DCI page and it turns out that in a JSS in 2002 I played Ervin Tormos. I thought it was pretty funny.
You know, if you take the show “The Wonder Years” and take out all the internal monologues then it’s mostly just awkward silences with people staring at each other.
