those rims look awful and so do the tires. A ford escape? Really bro?

@thecravenone that's almost certainly better, but less Metalworkery.

@bazaarofbaghdad I'm not convinced it's playable. 4 mana of that many different colors is going to be absurdly hard to cast, and anything that can cheat it in can cheat something better in(something with immediate effect, like griselbrand/bargain/omni). if you want a 4 mana nonblue spell that wins you the game if you untap with it, there's already things that come pretty close in the form of planeswalkers like chandra, torch of defiance that also do something the turn you play them and are easier to cast. for things without immediate effect, oath of druids seems to be better than this.

Handshaking really doesn't make sense anyway, it was originally meant as a sign of peace because you couldn't draw a weapon. As nerds we are resistant to change and must accept the original meaning of the handshake. The opponents are "battling" so there really is no need for a sign of peace, I would prefer waving a white flag or giving your opponent the pick of your best livestock.

I never felt it was all that hard: 40 relentless rats 4 Dark ritual 1 Mox Jet 1 Black lotus 14 swamps BOOM

Well I have done a lot of research and tested many online booking software. The best solution i found that can install into my website is from Chatwing.(yes the same Chatwing chat room software provider!) The Chatwing booking solution covered everything i needed including both text message and email new appointment confirmations. You can also choose to send client's text message and email appointment reminders both 24 hours and 1 hour before appointments which is very helpful, the controls are there to choose both options or only 1 of them.

@hierarchnoble said in Possibly Misguided Vintage Card Design Theory!: Here is my attempt: Hum of the Forest - 2G Sorcery Surge G Draw a card for each creature you control with power 4 or greater. This is designed to create a modern Oshawa Stompy deck in the current metagame. It would be a deck using Survival of the Fittest and Bazaar of Baghdad to fuel quick Vengevines by casting cheap or free Basking Rootwallas and Hollow Ones. A deck like that requires card draw to make up for the card disadvantage of its engine. I based this card off of Inspiring Call. The drawback of which creatures count is roughly similar, maybe even in favor of Inspiring Call. I figured slowing the card from Instant to Sorcery and removing the indestructable clause was enough to make a situational cost reduction. Since Vengevine already promotes casting multiple spells in the same turn, Surge seemed like an elegant way to reduce the cost. The problem with this spell is the amount that it is win more. If I have 2 4/4s in play, I'm (usually) just winning the old fashioned way--no need to draw more cards. If I have 3, I'm winning even more! A cooler example might be "draw a card for each creature with power 4 or greater in your graveyard" (and make the card an instant. it still has some clever tricks (around Vengevine+Survival, maybe dredging), but, but it's primarily excellent when behind and bad when ahead early, which gives a real tension in how many of the card you want in your deck.

@brass-man said in Android Netrunner: @fsecco said in Android Netrunner: if you want to play competitively it's not that cheap: you kind need to spend 15-30 bucks every month in new releases. /me looks at post /me looks at vintage /me looks at post hmh. Hahaha sure, sure. I'm not comparing. Vintage is FREAKING BEYOND EXPENSIVE. You can't really compare that to anything. Magic overall is quite costly. Netrunner costs way less than that, but way more than videogames or a board games, that's the overall comparison. (And where I live data packs cost around 30 bucks each, so it's a bit steeper for me).

@loukayza said in Flippin Orbs: Old School Podcast: @nedleeds is Tusk Talk officially done? I have it on my subs for my podcast app, thought maybe you were just on a hiatus... Yeah it's done, WotC code of conduct now includes anything published or recorded anywhere not just MTGO or events and includes language that could allow them to revoke DCI membership for 'causing discomfort'. That kind of language in our current social climate is too wide a berth to try to deal with and we aren't the self censoring types. Still good stuff out there, I'm just not interested in risking my DCI number.

Thanks for sharing the big list. Actually I am not much interested to watch movies.

@dr-j Personally I find Modern to be awesome. :) Anyway, I would love to play vintage online and I would get a lot more out of it, but it's really hard for me to want to justify paying the price of an online deck at the moment.

Nice video so far. Hope this will helpful for the new brides.

My only critique is I wish each image had a text decklist for those not completely familiar with the artwork of the card.

@nedleeds Yeah that soulfly point blank performance was unreal. Getting to see that show to kick off eternal weekend really set the mood.

I'm so happy that people revived this little thread! As the holidays have approached, the people from Way Back When that I've been playing with forever have been in town, and we've had a Ton of fun with these decks, plus a few tweaks. We've also had the chance to teach some family and significant others the Ways of the Cardboard using them, so overall this has been a successful mission. I also glommed together a whole second set of decks that are a lot more like EDH decks in terms of flavor, using many of the same pieces, but that give a Just The Hits feel to the games. They aren't as good for Teaching the game though because they don't have the consistency that the slightly more tuned lists have, suh-prize. Both sets of decks provide lengthy games and protect against quick blowouts (other than some fun old school bombs like Lich/MU). Overall these have a really kooky set of power levels that make for a lot of fun. I look forward to running them a little more as we approach the weeks before and after new years when people need a little break from holiday cheer to fireball a bunch of thunder spirits. @Serracollector Both Mana Flare and Inferno have made appearances in red. I feel like half of the fun of the (casual) game in early sets was leveraging wacky global effects. Bi-lateral helpers like Flare and the whole original Enchant World cycle from Legends are such crowd pleasers in multiplayer, well, maybe not Nether Void...but even then, so much flavor and great art! To be clear, we still don't use mana burn as a house rule, so Mana Flare is just nuts. @joshuabrooks I actually tweaked to transform red from Goblins to Kobolds / Keldon Warlord, but I think somehow that the people we've been playing with just prefer the flavor of Goblins and Goblin King. It may be just that people enjoy any opportunity to say "You remind me of the babe..."

I have a deck that uses Birds of Paradise and Rituals to power out Juggernauts and Ernhams, I also use Hymn and Hypnotic Specters for card denial. If I had Juzzams I would use them.
