Boo, Sonic. I've wanted to try their food for a long time now and there are zilch around here, so no luck. Thankfully we still have a Taco Bell AND a Wendy's, so yay.
Just popped in to say hello, that money problems suck, and that Photon is making me build a frontier deck. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO WITH IT. All my favorite stuff is too expensive and/or inapplicable to the format, so I'm lost.
If I had to choose, It would be that goddamn annoying ass ****er... um, what was his name? Oh yea, ****ing Phyrexian, god I wish he would just get banned.
TFE? Hes cool, but I wouldnt find him annoying or anything. You have to realize that all the clans he starts attract the spammers. You know why? Because they want to know the secret to getting 15k posts...

Yeah I'm totally avoiding this topic altogether. I have someone in mind but I'm not gonna risk the warning. Not that I can't afford it... I just don't want to go for it over this. If anyone wants to know, PM me. Don't worry it's not anyone that belongs to the coffeeshop right now.
Yeah, same...
Ooh, and can I have a Coffeehouse card? Here it is:
"Hello! I've come to serenade you. I can't play guitar. I can't play this accordion either, but I thought it'd be less obvious."
Dylan Moran, Black Books
I would be more vigilant with the cookies if I actually gave a damn about them. They only serve one purpose, and that is to make everyone more at risk of developing internet diabetes.
So in respect you have protection from something that can't be prevent or redirected???? So protection from it is useless????
This reminds me of something Mamelon was doing last night. She was coming up with useless types of protection, such as "protection from haste". It was really funny.

I'd like comments on what you think of this card... The flavor of it is its a saproling that was given intelligence and magical powers by an elf.

Why do centaurs get +1/+1?
I'm not sure about it. I'll let people with a little more experience in evaluating cards weigh in first, but I don't get the centaur bit. It seems arbitrarily tacked on.

There's a fair amount of centaurs in the set, In fact the "snard cult" is made of centaurs and elves. So the bonus is mostly flavorful.

If there are a lot of centuars in the set, then that creature is an automatic add-in. No question. And 0 mana is way too good for a Shared Triumph for any creature type.. except maybe Shyft
also.. expect a minor errata to Academy.. gonna fix 2 more errors that one can even edit in MWS without having to reinstall it.

Not bad at all. A little interesting, seeing as how there's never been a saproling creature that you could play from your hand. The only problem is pretty easy to kill, but for a saproling I guess that's understood already.
But as Photon asked, why centaurs?
EDIT: Ha ha......skipped reading a post there...I see now.
Yeah yeah, I know.. I just released an errata a few days ago, but my astute friend KoolKoal pointed out an error and I've also wanted to fix another card, so here we go.
--Twisted Minds' mana cost has been edited on the MWS Spoiler. The image says it's :2mana::symb::symb:, but the spoiler says it's :xmana::symb:. It's supposed to be :2mana::symb::symb:
--Golden Respite's text has been changed from 'cards' to 'spells'. Text and image will be updated.
For those of you who don't have Academy on your MWS, feel free to go ahead and get it. For those of you that DO have it on your MWS, do the following:
either A) download and reinstall Academy on your MWS, or
B) find Twisted Minds on your MWS, and edit the record, changing XB to 2BB on the mana cost. Also, edit Golden Respite to say 'spells', not 'cards'. Also, if you have the images, find Golden Respite on the Academy website and save the image from the site directly to your ACD folder in the Pics folder of the MWS Program Files folder.
It's wierd... when Omna and I were talking last night, we were both kind of like "hey, where'd Jack go? Did we scare him off by removing the spam police title? That would be too bad..." Glad to see not only the nice timing but also that you decided to stay!
@Spangle's card: It's fine, so what if the ability is useless... still is a coffeehouse card, albeit slightly bland. Eh, consider the wisdom he has for his age!
@Spangle: When did you say the next BotU was again?
First a few things before I bring attention to myself for a bit. Snard Priest is indeed a bit too good - unless you're not doing a lot of saproling tokens. Then it might not be undercosted... of course that's lookin at it in a vacuum.
In other news, I've finally got a few cards for preview in my set - Tnisk. T's silent folks.
If you get an X for any of those pictures just refresh. My website provider screws up every now and then.
Edit: I'm sorry to any dial-up users out there!
Edit 2: Oh yeah, I forgot flavor explanation... that was on purpose everyone! I'll be explaining the storyline to it eventually.
As Arguas said, serendipitious timing, Jack!! Welcome back.. We missed you!!
And thanks KK for giving Nemcon his 2000th post cookie!! We're coming up soon on the fourth thread
Just got back from a double-date/game night at a friend's house.. it was fun... Ryan, me, and the other couple played Loaded Questions... suchhhh a fun game.. and there were some really cool switched questions...
I woke up at 4 today.. Ryan had work until 6, then around 8:30, Ryan and I walked over to Emily's house (the girl who's house it was/half the couple)-- I see more of that in our future (game nights) especially because Niko (the guy) and Ryan both are crazy for D&D and HeroQuest, and I think with those guys, it would be a fun game to play..
I was slightly disappointed tho, since Ryan came over, and we had planned to play some Magic, talk about Rise, do some gaming stuff on our own, and he was gonna help me clean up/unpack my room a bit, so it looks a bit more decent... heh.. its a mess right now lol. But he'll be coming over tmw morning so we'll be able to do that it'll be fun!
I also plugged in my CD player which was nice.. and relaxed a bit on the hammock today....
However, I did experience, for the first time ever, getting unceremoniously DUMPED on the ground of the hammock's free will:p
EDIT!!: Is anyone going to the Boston prerelease??? Arguas and I are going, and we'd love to meet any of you there!!! Also, does anybody know if anyone made a thread like Dissension's, "Who's Going to Which Prerelease"? We'd love to meet some people from this site!! At that point was when I was just starting out here... Now that i've started to make a name for myself, I'd like to meet some people!!:-)
So, I finally played Frontier the correct way, and it was a BLAST.
I recommend it to everyone, but it does require some rules discussion with your group first (we had to discuss fear, unblockability, ninjutsu, the Ravnica karoos, Annex, and Shifting Borders and how they would work in this unique format).
I finally found a use for my Dovescapes, too, in this deck:
Early game fliers like Az Firstwing and the Hawk scout out mana and can take over key areas of the board. Demand can be used to search for key pieces like the Pride and Dovescape. Once Dovescape is down, use Supply to flood the board with bird tokens, which can seize key lands and defensive positions while allowing greater mana control for additional Supplies and Skyscribings, all while Pride gets fatter and fatter. Augustin makes it all cheaper, and Az Guildmage protects the Pride from nasty things, and can tap out enemy creatures to allow your strategically placed birds and Firstwings to shred up enemies without terrain bonuses.
Frontier Magic is a varient style of casual Magic that in which the game is played in as a chess-like tactical battle game, rather than a card game. Creatures are moved around the board like pawns, attacking each other, defending, and trying to occupy the right spaces all in order to eventually get past the enemy army.
It's a lot of fun, but the rules are very loose, so each group is likely to play a little differently. I would love to refine the system.

I can't seem to open the SSB picture. All I get is a broken jpg placeholder.
Whispers of the Heart turned out to be one of the best movies I've seen in a looooong time, probably years. No cheeseball comedy or the like, just a wonderfully solid, wholesome, feel-good story. The animation was amazing, as expected from Studio Ghibli. The real treat, though, was hearing the movie open to John Denver's "Take Me Home, Country Road". Throughout the movie, you hear different versions of that song, and an especially nice Japanese choral version at the end. The movie gave me another thing to cross off the list of things I never thought I'd see in an anime - a five piece band complete with violin and bass breaking into "Country Road" and singing about West Virginia. I want that mp3 so badly now. I'm tempted to just record the audio with the microphone in my MP3 player, from the DVD. It made my pre-birthday celebrations complete.
Speaking of which, today's my birthday! Kyo wa tanjobi da! Yatta!
(sorry, I tend to break into Japanese when I'm happy). I think I'm just gonna save the money for two weekends from now for IkasuCon in Cincinnati. I can't wait! Some of my friends from college will be there and it'll be nice to see them again. Plus, there's always the opportunity to buy more plushes.
@Mr. Stuff: !!!!!! And Have I ever told you that I'm jealous of how you can speak Japanese. I've always wanted to learn, but I don't know where to go to learn it. Schools don't provide it to much. I'm stuck learning spanish. I HATE spanish!!!
edit: I have an awesome deck idea! I'm going to make a Bard/Faerie deck with Faeries (Duh), Elvish Bard, and Elvish Piper, along with some monsterific creatures (Simic Sky Swallower)
Just popped in to say hello, that money problems suck, and that Photon is making me build a frontier deck. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO WITH IT. All my favorite stuff is too expensive and/or inapplicable to the format, so I'm lost.

So in respect you have protection from something that can't be prevent or redirected???? So protection from it is useless????
Once again, if anyone wants to do sealed academy, pm me. I've almost finished a deck for it.
This reminds me of something Mamelon was doing last night. She was coming up with useless types of protection, such as "protection from haste". It was really funny.
