Aetos, Dark Lord of Cryo-Stasis
Name: Brendan/Aetos Explanation of Username: Used to play Warhammer:40k, and my Tau Jumpsuit commander needed a name. Googled Greek word for eagle lord. Cyrios Aetos popped out, and I've been Aetos ever since. Age: 16 going on 17. Feel like a rookie.

ajacobik, Shadow Vangard of [House Dimir]
Name: Alexander F. Jacobik I, Esq.
Explanation of Username: First initial and last name. This account is linked to my ebay, so I kept it simple. I'm known everywhere else as Mr. Batman.
Age: 17, but don't count me out. I've been playing Magic since I was in diapers.
Hobbies: Magic, music, law, video games, tormenting my little brother.
Player Type: Johnny. I build a ton of wacky combo decks that sometimes win, sometimes don't - but I always have fun playing, and that's the important thing.
Favorite Thread: House Dimir and my Sharuum EDH thread.
Favorite User: The members of House Dimir, Werekill, and myself.
Likes: Milling you to death - oh, and gaining infinite life and swinging with infinity infinity/infinity trampling creatures on turn 5 with my Infinite Elves deck.
Dislikes: REd everything. I also hate players who run decks with ridiculous amounts of removal - four Oblivion Rings, four Journey to Nowheres, four Arrests - can't you let the rest of us have a little fun?
Musical interests: Metal, classical, and everything that has anything to do with either. My favorite bands are Dream Theater, Iron Maiden, Ashram, Kamelot, and Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Philosophy: I'm a firm believer in Sith ideology. If you have a skill that surpasses everyone else, make use of it to carve a better place for yourself in the world. You don't necessarily have to push other people down to do so, but never back down from a chance to better yourself, because nobody else will.
Quotes: "If knowledge is a weapon, I intend to go formidably armed." - Richard Rahl, from the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind
"I have been called many names by many people - most of them uncouth, but few of them undeserved." - Kvothe Kingkiller, from the Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss
Last but not least, an excerpt from the life of Winston Churchill: When Winston walked into the Parliament restroom after a heated session of debate, he found his greatest political opponent standing at the first of the three urinals. Rather than take the closer of the three and stand by the man, Winston walked to the farthest urinal, unzipped, and began to urinate. Winston's opponent sighed and said, "You know, Winston, although we are enemies in the congress, I really hoped that we could be friends outside of work." Winston chuckled and responded, "Oh, it's not that we can't be friends, it's just that whenever you see something that's big and works well, you want to nationalize it."

We are alike in a lot of ways and are amazing together, supporting each others crazy ideas and wild adventures. We both playing Magic right now, but where I only started a few months ago, she used to play a long time ago.

All in all, I'm the casual newbie MTG player, what with liking a Mill deck (OMG,WTF,RITE?), but I'd rather play the game to have fun with my own creations or play a refined deck I enjoy rather than playing the "best" deck or one that I hate playing.

@ria what secondary win con(s) do you have in your szadek?
Beats, mainly. Stealing or reanimating the best creature means winning through combat damage is (unfortunately I admit) often enough the way the deck kills people.
There is also a Bloodchief Ascension in there, which is often a beating; you should try it. Comes out early, & in multiplayer it's soooo easy to get those 3 counters - any opponent takes damage from anywhere.
I think last thread DcD asked if I had Traumatize/Keening Stone in there; I believe that was the last update I made to the deck. Haven't EDH'd since Halloween
I'll grab my pile & compare notes, & I'll post anything noteworthy
Also, keep an eye on Macius – he's a slippery fish! congrats, Macius, I think these guys will suit you better.
Also, keep an eye on Macius – he's a slippery fish! congrats, Macius, I think these guys will suit you better.
ok, whats up with the color? its like #f5f5ff..... is there hidden colors on mtgs?
@DCD: Im trying to find as many BB dark rits. as I can. I need to pare down my commons, so im embarking on an odyssey where I:
A: put all mtg cards in boxes
B: Organize by set
C: Take out all money commons/ uncommons and rares
D: Keep 1 or more playsets (thinking 2 for cards that are very good: more if there lulz (3 playsets of standstill so far.)
Just wanted to let all of the MTG HD members know that by june, if you need a common/ uncommon.... I should be able to send them to you for free (postage maybe, but im doubting it.)
Would any of you be willing to shop at a card shop where cards costed more, but the service was top of the line and the employees were nice and invited you over for game night every so often?
Hell yes, I was trying to open a store like that myself!
Also, glad to have you on the winning team, Macius
yea, yea...... i got a pm from DCD and Yanni at the same time, that while not asking to join...was to the effect of, "we want you to consider it"
but to my store question, he still charges 50 US for Karn and venser, the sojurner.....but he is as nice as can be. Im wondering if others would shop at a place like that. (mind you, most arent that bad, and some are cheaper (30 for show and tell))
But yeah, like I said. I think you'll fare better in this House.
Quite a different beast you have there, fraustX! We only run like a dozen the same cards
My mana base is way more basic heavy, but I run Thawing Glaciers.
I also run Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth as a mana-fixer/swampwalk enabler/removal for the other's guy's Tomb of Yawg. I thought I ran a Cabal Coffers to combo out for stupidmana but I think I have pulled the Coffers after 1 too many 1-swamp losses. Underground Sea/Watery Grave/Underground River/Polluted Delta/Bad River; guessing you'd run these if you had 'em. Halimar Depths is good, free near-Brainstorm. Duskmantle, House of Shadow as a flavour-addition, never been very happy drawing it, but Innistrad outdated it with Nephalia Drownyard, so *swaps that out right now* Creeping Tar Pit to steal wins, as well as another body to equip, plus it's colourfixing. Great package. Shizo, Death's Storehouse since I run many legendaries & can steal legendaries too, & fear is decent. Maze of Ith because as I have said, this deck is a political failure & often a target :gonk:; this softens the blow.
Pretty big divergence here, although many of my choices are just flavourful over any other consideration. I thought I'd slotted a Dread in, but I didn't see him. Bane of the Living; I seem to have many more board resets than you, this is one that comes down early even if I'm colour-screwed. Bloodghast is a great recursive sack outlet/early drop & likes the fetchy lands. Hedron Crab is cute & plays nice with Thawing Glaciers. Ink-Eyes, Servant of the Oni pinches all that stuff that's sitting in the graveyard as well as feeds off of the unblockables I play (leading to crazy turns like attack with Creeping Tar Pit, ninjutsu Ink-Eyes, animate a dude, replay the land which brings back Bloodghast & triggers Hedron Crab, sac the lot to Altar of Dementia, Bloodchief's Ascension kills you). Ambassador Laquatus is pretty good here, especially when my mana gets idiotic & Training Grounds is out. Oona, Queen of the Fae is awesome, really surprised not to see her on your list; makes blockers & mills. Fantastic with Altar or stupidmana. Jushi Apprentice is rad. Shadowmage Infiltrator because Finklebeats are great. Dreamborn Muse I've only added 'recently', only seen her once but I like the confusion she sews. Scalpelexis really hates on people who play mono or two-colour with many basics. Even if not, he Exiles, which is choice. Duplicant. . . this guy in every EDH deck, basically. Nemesis of Reason has a big butt on defense & mills just for attacking, often sealing a deal. Ashling, the Extiguisher is great when given evasion. Wrexial, the Risen Deep is fun, feeding off all that stuff we milled & likes wearing evasive equipment. Coffin Queen is soooo good. Can exile stuff in a pinch, too. Dimir Guildmage is in-flavour & decent draw. Extractor Demon seems good with my build, haven't drawn him yet. Kiku, Night's Flower is lovely & fun to play.
Bloodchief Ascension is NASTY NASTY NASTY & if I don't get pounced when it goes live, I win in quick order. Training Grounds makes good cards like Laquatus & Coffin Queen & even Oona that much better. Future Sight the :symu::symu::symu: can be a pain sometimes but it soooo worth it. There is also something rather satisfying about telegraphing D00M, even if it gives people a turn to react. Phyrexian Arena is another card I was surprised to see not-on-your-list. Leyline of the Void frequently sits in my hand waiting for the Helm to show up, but too often you also need to stop Giant Idiots from shuffling graveyards. Forced Fruition is
Recoil allows you to pseudo-Disenchant or deal with 'walkers, & is mean when the opponent has no hand. Hinder is nice for Generals er, Commanders, as well as comboing w/ Tunnel Vision. I also run Dissipate, nice to have a few counters for combo players. Reins of Power is good to steal one guy's creatures for my often-creature light board (have a Ghast, yo, thanks for the army of elf tokens), & is just damned rude with Altar of Dementia. Lim-Dul's Vault is so cool. Capsize again to deal with troublesome permanents. Buyback is choice.
I will now proceed to pick over your list to steal the good bits :symu::symb:
But yeah, like I said. I think you'll fare better in this House.
Oh, nice.
White hurts my eyes, so I use thhe red skin..... hehe.....
if you dont want me to see, use black.... it really is an utter pain to read.
and it is Dimir of me, I used your mind against you. You assumed I couldnt see it, but I had preempted that in the past by changing my skin.
@dcd: Getting a new sig... hhope you like it. it'll have the link.
Am I the only one that thinks that Vedalken Orrery is a bloody riot in EDH?
Instant speed Deathclouds are just the most hilarious thing when everyone gets mad
Also for lulz, Academy Ruins/Mindslaver! Nothing like spending the whole game playing with yoursel.... err... yeah.
We are everywhere, and nowhere at once.
We see everything, and nothing sees Us.

Aetos, Dark Lord of Cryo-Stasis

Philosophy: I'm a firm believer in Sith ideology. If you have a skill that surpasses everyone else, make use of it to carve a better place for yourself in the world. You don't necessarily have to push other people down to do so, but never back down from a chance to better yourself, because nobody else will.

"I have been called many names by many people - most of them uncouth, but few of them undeserved." - Kvothe Kingkiller, from the Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss
Last but not least, an excerpt from the life of Winston Churchill: When Winston walked into the Parliament restroom after a heated session of debate, he found his greatest political opponent standing at the first of the three urinals. Rather than take the closer of the three and stand by the man, Winston walked to the farthest urinal, unzipped, and began to urinate. Winston's opponent sighed and said, "You know, Winston, although we are enemies in the congress, I really hoped that we could be friends outside of work." Winston chuckled and responded, "Oh, it's not that we can't be friends, it's just that whenever you see something that's big and works well, you want to nationalize it."

A little about me: I've been at my job for close to 5 years now as a Quality Assurance tester for a Lottery company...

I've known my GF for over 10 years (we were high school friends) and we've been going out for over 6 months now. We are alike in a lot of ways and are amazing together, supporting each others crazy ideas and wild adventures. We both playing Magic right now, but where I only started a few months ago, she used to play a long time ago. While I don't have very good luck with boosters, she has amazing luck with Mythic cards (give her 3 boosters and 2 will have a Mythic or 1 Mythic and 1 good Foil Rare). I have my own house with a friend of mine (who also plays MTG (but plays WoW :crazy:) as a room-mate. One of my friends at work has helped my quite a bit with getting to understand MTG and some advanced concepts, as well as actually getting ideas and cards to use for my deck. All in all, I'm the casual newbie MTG player, what with liking a Mill deck (OMG,WTF,RITE?), but I'd rather play the game to have fun with my own creations or play a refined deck I enjoy rather than playing the "best" deck or one that I hate playing.

540 Peasant cube- Gold EditionSomething SpicyBeats, mainly. Stealing or reanimating the best creature means winning through combat damage is (unfortunately I admit) often enough the way the deck kills people.
There is also a Bloodchief Ascension in there, which is often a beating; you should try it. Comes out early, & in multiplayer it's soooo easy to get those 3 counters - any opponent takes damage from anywhere.
I think last thread DcD asked if I had Traumatize/Keening Stone in there; I believe that was the last update I made to the deck. Haven't EDH'd since Halloween
I'll grab my pile & compare notes, & I'll post anything noteworthy
Also, keep an eye on Macius – he's a slippery fish! congrats, Macius, I think these guys will suit you better.
ok, whats up with the color? its like #f5f5ff..... is there hidden colors on mtgs?
@DCD: Im trying to find as many BB dark rits. as I can. I need to pare down my commons, so im embarking on an odyssey where I:
A: put all mtg cards in boxes
B: Organize by set
C: Take out all money commons/ uncommons and rares
D: Keep 1 or more playsets (thinking 2 for cards that are very good: more if there lulz (3 playsets of standstill so far.)
Just wanted to let all of the MTG HD members know that by june, if you need a common/ uncommon.... I should be able to send them to you for free (postage maybe, but im doubting it.)
540 Peasant cube- Gold EditionSomething SpicyAlso, I love bloodchief ascension. Was playing with my Sharuum EDH in a casual 10 player FFA, killed 9 players in one move.
Vedalken Orrery - Comes in handy later
Bloodchief Ascension + counters
Mindcrank....
Instant speed deathcloud for 1
Lulz were had

yea, yea...... i got a pm from DCD and Yanni at the same time, that while not asking to join...was to the effect of, "we want you to consider it"
but to my store question, he still charges 50 US for Karn and venser, the sojurner.....but he is as nice as can be. Im wondering if others would shop at a place like that. (mind you, most arent that bad, and some are cheaper (30 for show and tell))
540 Peasant cube- Gold EditionSomething SpicyBut yeah, like I said. I think you'll fare better in this House.
Quite a different beast you have there, fraustX! We only run like a dozen the same cards
My mana base is way more basic heavy, but I run Thawing Glaciers.
I also run Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth as a mana-fixer/swampwalk enabler/removal for the other's guy's Tomb of Yawg. I thought I ran a Cabal Coffers to combo out for stupidmana but I think I have pulled the Coffers after 1 too many 1-swamp losses.
Underground Sea/Watery Grave/Underground River/Polluted Delta/Bad River; guessing you'd run these if you had 'em.
Halimar Depths is good, free near-Brainstorm.
Duskmantle, House of Shadow as a flavour-addition, never been very happy drawing it, but Innistrad outdated it with Nephalia Drownyard, so *swaps that out right now*
Creeping Tar Pit to steal wins, as well as another body to equip, plus it's colourfixing. Great package.
Shizo, Death's Storehouse since I run many legendaries & can steal legendaries too, & fear is decent.
Maze of Ith because as I have said, this deck is a political failure & often a target :gonk:; this softens the blow.
Bane of the Living; I seem to have many more board resets than you, this is one that comes down early even if I'm colour-screwed.
Bloodghast is a great recursive sack outlet/early drop & likes the fetchy lands.
Hedron Crab is cute & plays nice with Thawing Glaciers.
Ink-Eyes, Servant of the Oni pinches all that stuff that's sitting in the graveyard as well as feeds off of the unblockables I play (leading to crazy turns like attack with Creeping Tar Pit, ninjutsu Ink-Eyes, animate a dude, replay the land which brings back Bloodghast & triggers Hedron Crab, sac the lot to Altar of Dementia, Bloodchief's Ascension kills you).
Ambassador Laquatus is pretty good here, especially when my mana gets idiotic & Training Grounds is out.
Oona, Queen of the Fae is awesome, really surprised not to see her on your list; makes blockers & mills. Fantastic with Altar or stupidmana.
Jushi Apprentice is rad.
Shadowmage Infiltrator because Finklebeats are great.
Dreamborn Muse I've only added 'recently', only seen her once but I like the confusion she sews.
Scalpelexis really hates on people who play mono or two-colour with many basics. Even if not, he Exiles, which is choice.
Duplicant. . . this guy in every EDH deck, basically.
Nemesis of Reason has a big butt on defense & mills just for attacking, often sealing a deal.
Ashling, the Extiguisher is great when given evasion.
Wrexial, the Risen Deep is fun, feeding off all that stuff we milled & likes wearing evasive equipment.
Coffin Queen is soooo good. Can exile stuff in a pinch, too.
Dimir Guildmage is in-flavour & decent draw.
Extractor Demon seems good with my build, haven't drawn him yet.
Kiku, Night's Flower is lovely & fun to play.
Skullclamp interacts well with Bloodghast, Oona's tokens, & the deck's propensity for exploding the board.
Trepenation Blade hasn't been tested, but seems like it is sickness incarnate on Szadek.
Basilisk Collar makes the Ghast & Tokens vicious blockers, & lifelink is nice on most everybody.
Mask of Riddles turns everyone into Finkel.
Memory Jar because, Memory Jar.
Helm of Obedience + Leyline of the Void = Exile target library. By itself, milling to steal a creature is fun.
Altar of Dementia is pretty decent, Reins of Power kind of snaps it in half
Crystal Ball 'cos I don't own enough Sensei's Tops.
Expedition Map hunts out the techy lands nicely.
Bloodchief Ascension is NASTY NASTY NASTY & if I don't get pounced when it goes live, I win in quick order.
Training Grounds makes good cards like Laquatus & Coffin Queen & even Oona that much better.
Future Sight the :symu::symu::symu: can be a pain sometimes but it soooo worth it. There is also something rather satisfying about telegraphing D00M, even if it gives people a turn to react.
Phyrexian Arena is another card I was surprised to see not-on-your-list.
Leyline of the Void frequently sits in my hand waiting for the Helm to show up, but too often you also need to stop Giant Idiots from shuffling graveyards.
Forced Fruition is
Damnation, Mutilate, Plague Wind, Decree of Pain, Ashes to Ashes (Exile!), Chainer's Edict & Profane Command all work to keep the board clear.
Tunnel Vision + Hinder = 1 card library.
Rite of Replication is another card but also wins wins wins, because even though you couldn't swing with those Titans, they sac'd well to the Altar
Yawgmoth's Will because, why not? Not broken like in T1, but when you have stupidmana is important to also have spells.
Telemin Performance is another mill-to-steal-a-creature, kind of a coinflip but it's fun.
Recoil allows you to pseudo-Disenchant or deal with 'walkers, & is mean when the opponent has no hand.
Hinder is nice for
Generalser, Commanders, as well as comboing w/ Tunnel Vision. I also run Dissipate, nice to have a few counters for combo players.Reins of Power is good to steal one guy's creatures for my often-creature light board (have a Ghast, yo, thanks for the army of elf tokens), & is just damned rude with Altar of Dementia.
Lim-Dul's Vault is so cool.
Capsize again to deal with troublesome permanents. Buyback is choice.
Oh, nice.
White hurts my eyes, so I use thhe red skin..... hehe.....
if you dont want me to see, use black.... it really is an utter pain to read.
and it is Dimir of me, I used your mind against you. You assumed I couldnt see it, but I had preempted that in the past by changing my skin.
@dcd: Getting a new sig... hhope you like it. it'll have the link.
540 Peasant cube- Gold EditionSomething SpicyExactly what I'm talkin' bout, Willis.
Instant speed Deathclouds are just the most hilarious thing when everyone gets mad
Also for lulz, Academy Ruins/Mindslaver! Nothing like spending the whole game playing with yoursel.... err... yeah.
