Competitive Standard deck - $150-$450 with the need to update the deck every 3 months. Competitive Legacy deck - $500-$3500. Cards for existing decks rarely change. The lower end are decks like Burn, Dredge, etc. While they are viable decks, their viability is very meta dependent...

Back from Vegas. Terrible performance. Literally, the worst ever for me. My deck choice was terrible in standard. It didn't help that I meta'gamed the main deck hard for control match-ups that I never saw. Deck was bad, lines were bad, play was bad. It was one of those weekends that...

Ya, the Merfolk guy was very sketchy. He kept me off-balance our entire match because I was trying to focus on my game while trying to make sure he wasn't cheating me. And in the True-Name situation, he did get away with it. My Plague was 3/4 of the way under Liliana and I forgot it was in...

I was the guy in the Oklahoma sweatshirt. I went in to the Top 8 as the #1 seed if that helps you remember me. I wish I hadn't been so focused on Magic and remembered you were going to be there so we had time to chat and play. I played n the Standard IQ in Leeds, Alabama today and top 8'd...

Did you show up Heylel? I totally spaced and forgot you were going to be there. I top 8'd it, but lost to a Delver player.

Got your PM and replied.

I searched but didn't find anything about this show. It's one of the Netflix exclusive series. It's amazing. Kevin Spacey is top notch. Watch it. That is all.

I'm considering going to that IQ Heylel. I have an extra Wasteland and Pulse you can borrow.

I friended you Dalnoth. I'll be looking for you. I spent several hours talking with Buffrat yesterday and learned a few things, but I still have a lot of questions.

So, I leveled a Bruiser and Dirge to 95 with Max AA but I did it it over several months soloing (finishing the 90-95 and some AAs in SS). However, I feel like I still know very little about the game. Is there anyone who still plays at a reasonably high level here? I'd like to pick your brain...

Fuck this game. What a waste of money. It's a completely unbalanced buggy piece of shit that caters to camping.

Theros has a lot of decent money cards. All but a few of the Mythics are valuable, which is unheard of. It's actually one of the few sets that just buying boxes is not a bad idea because of the value, unless you have a very specific deck you know that you want to play.

Back from GP Louisville. I went 6-3 and missed day two. My lack of success was a combination of my own poor deck construction (I made 6 terrible card changes 10 minutes before the tournament began) and some extremely gut wrenching mulligans to 5 in rounds 6 and 8. I definitely need to do a...

I remember you. =)

Whip of Erebos is a trap card. Don't get me wrong, I play with it, but it's not a card you want more than one or two of. What you don't want to be doing when building your deck is playing with substandard cards to do cute things with the whip unless those plays effectively end the game. There...

Haha! Touche. I hadn't considered it, but that's perfect. Do we know each other? Guilded together at one point? Seriously though, I am going to have a really hard time with the Legacy portion due to the my low amount of reps in the format. I am working on it, but there are a lot of subtle...

I REALLY like the BUG concept in general, but I also feel that 3 color decks are a mistake right now (for high level competitive play). What you gain in power is not worth what you give up in consistency. Although my opinion is a little skewed. My deck choices are always geared towards...

Lots of success all around and glad to see players getting back in to things. I didn't even go to states here in Alabama. The TO is a complete tool and the prize support was literally equal to FNM. I am not driving 3 and half hours each way to pay for a $25 FNM. That said, I do have 5...

I really like EQ2. Granted, I solo most the time. However, I agree the combat is very spammy, but unless you feel like you have to do 100% of the damage possible or be completely efficient with your heals/etc, smart macros go a long way in making it a lot more fun. I play a Bruiser and I...

I still need a playset of Karakas to finish D&T. There aren't a whole lot of cards in standard that scare me as a B/G player, but Blood Baron is effectively an autoloss when he resolves. He worries me enough that I am considering running 2x Boon Saytr in the board just to answer him. It's...

*Standard* I'm sticking with G/B "Rock" control. It lost some HUGE cards in Liliana of the Veil, Thragtusk, and Mutilate (no replacement yet) but I am softening the blow somewhat with Thoughtseize and Gray Merchant. I have a feeling that card (Gray Merchant) is going to be ridiculous despite...

In a word, match-ups. That and some of those unfair decks are like 75-80% in Game 1, but get wrecked in 2 and 3 due to info and sideboard plans. And there are just some cards that Shardless loses to if they resolve. Bloodmoon happens to be one of those cards. Either I FoW, Thoughtseize...

That's one of the most awkward videos I have ever seen.

So....I spent about $2300 on Legacy staples yesterday. I literally haggled with sellers online ALL day. I ended up with some great buys, but I still need a lot of stuff. Qualifying for multiple SCG invitationals is almost a curse because you have to have a competitive Legacy deck. Yes, I...

All three were standard and I played B/G control in all three as well.

Had a really good Magic week. I won a Star City Open Trial on Thursday, a Star City Invitational Qualifier on Saturday, and a Star City Super Invitational Qualifier on Sunday. Guess I'll be going to both the Indy and Vegas.

I'm actually going to Chattanooga and then on to to Knoxville for the Super!

I PM'd you Heylel. Anyway, It's a good deck. I only started playing it about 2 weeks before GP Miami. I won a box last night, and last FNM playing Jund. I'll be going to an IQ in the morning and a Super IQ Sunday with my Jund deck. I'm tuning it for the mirror because I will have to...

So, at GP Miami I started off 6-0 with zero byes and then dropped 3 straight to miss day 2. 2 of those matches I can attribute to my own poor play but one of the losses was just to drawing poorly. It was heartbreaking because I only had to win 1 of the 3 to make day 2.

Driving to GP Miami tomorrow. Anyone else going to be there this weekend?

I got all of mine from packs.

I'm very tempted to dump my playset of Voice and net an easy $200. I don't believe they are going to stay the price they are. Some people think they'll be a $100 a piece by the end of the year, but that's ridiculous.

I got back on the Magic train about 4 months ago after a 16 year absence (5 digit DCI number started playing during Beta but didn't compete until Revised and quit just before Mirage) and I've been doing a lot of traveling lately trying to qualify for Pro Tour Theros and Star City Invitationals...

I'm not sure how relevant my question is, but I wanted just a decent entry level camera for vacation photos. I picked up a brand new Nikon Coolpix P510 for $150 today. Decent?

It's hard to lose with a pool like that. Your curve wasn't an issue because the format is so slow. I just got back in to Magic myself about a month ago (after 16 years away). Had an injury at work so I have A LOT of free time on my hands. I've been going to FNMs, local drafts, and Star...

EQ2 Started a Bruiser on AB. I'm in some random invite scrub guild. Any of you still play in a guild that could toss me an invite? Name is Vilerose.

I just installed EQII because I literally have never played it. I have zero aspirations of raiding, with that in mind, what's the best class to experience the largest amount of non raid content with just myself and possibly one other friend?

So, of the 160 pages in this thread....is there any actual info about the game?

I bought Temple of Elemental Evil the day it came out years and years ago, but couldn't level past 2 because the game was so buggy. However, the Circle of Eight mod community has been releasing patches and content for it since it was released. It's an extremely enjoyable experience now. If...
