  good luck to you. I'm at the opposite end as I have one class left for my degree after taking a 20+ year "break". I was working full time as well and I found it to be manageable but you are right, there is not a lot of extra time.

  I have to mention these as well: I happened to really enjoy Final Fantasy 12, and that was remade this year. - very good game, with a high learning curve but definitely a game children can play IMO.

  @Smmenen the reason why you cannot find any historical lists with basalt monolith and power artifact is because basalt monolith recieved power level erratta that said mana from basalt monolith could not be used to untap basalt monolith.

  It was designed to stop combo decks that were using goblin rocket launcher if I am remembering my 23 year old combo decks correctly. They were blue black decks being used right before legends was released.

  I'm really late to this party but I am attorney myself and wanted to say congrats! It's a long road ahead but the LSAT is a big step out of the way. Stay confident and work as hard as you can in law school if pays off in the long run!

  People go on Losing streaks.

  I went 6-2 in 2012 with RUG Delver at Champs.
  I went 1-2 Drop in 2012 at NYSE with BUG Vault
  I went 5-3 in 2013 with Doomsday at Champs.
  I went 0-2 Drop in 2013 at NYSE with (I can't even remeber)
  I went 2-2 Drop in 2014 with 4 Color Control.
  I went 2-2 Drop in 2015 with 4 Color Control.
  I went 0-2 Drop after a bye in 2016 with Paradoxical Control.
  I've 0-2 Dropped, 0-2 Dropped, 4-2 for 16th, and 5-1 for 5th in Power 9 championships.

  I used to win everything - then I started losing a lot. The cards (Mistep, Flusterstorm, Mentor, Revoker+Friends, Paradox) Make this format much more forgiving than it used to be.

  Bottom line, you could have the IQ of a shoe and still win games. That's something that wasn't true until 2008 when Time Vault was errata'd.

  Don't let losing streaks get to you.

  They're not "standard" card sleeves but they fit standard sized cards: A bunch of locals have started switching from KMC's Perfect Fit to KMC Perfect Hard and have commented on liking the additional structure the sleeve provides.

  So red should totally have Mana Flare. Also Inferno is clutch fun too. Just trying to think of cards that were amazing in multiplayer back in highschool. Gaeas Leige plus instill energy was game ending many times. Also Oubilett (spelling?) and Paralyze are both great cards for black.

  @vaughnbros Hah! I wonder which would be a faster track: unrestriction of one of the many cards that have been discussed, or a re- errata of Rukh Egg...

  @desolutionist I have no idea. But it is a particularly sensitive issue for me. Nothing in the world can make you happy, it has to come from within. This is a good lesson for those that would wonder how a rich person could do such a thing.

  I've listened to the first three episodes and enjoyed them - great job guys!

  Also, as a former Chicagoan I was happy to hear Map Room get a shout out.

  @Smmenen said in Best Films of 2016:

  @Islandswamp the end was the most insane part!

  Technincally I missed the after-ending wrap up thing. I saw the epic battle and time loop. I missed the resolution and my wife said there was a scene that was a sequel teaser. I want to buy the film and watch it again soon.

  I have been to Columbus for Team Serious events. However, we were trying to keep things local since we're both in law school and time is at a premium for us. More for me, really, since I have a day job and family stuff going on. There will be more flexibility in a few years once we graduate.

  At the beginning of your upkeep, if you control two or more Humans, you win the game.

  Nice. Combos well with Mentor.
