    I played Selesnya at my prerelease. A Detention Sphere and a Pithing Needle were all that I really pulled. My boyfriend pulled way better Selesnya stuff, but he signed up for Azorius >:( (but I got the Detention Sphere lol so I guess it evens out) I had a blast though, I really hope they do the...

    My favorite use of Bear Umbra is with Hellkite Charger. B] but...! I hadn't thought of using it with Magosi. You'd still also need the Rings of Brighthearth, but with Bear Umbra you never have to actually skip a turn (by that I mean, your opponent never gets their free turn before the combo...

    So double posting oops sorry but INTERESTING DEVELOPMENT TODAY That friend I gave the Chandra to has a problem, I think. Every couple days or so he goes to our local shop and just buys a shitton of things (understandable because everything is like 20% off the StarCity price like wow what--...

    She was my first, too! The first ones I ever owned though was a couple Chandra Nalaar from Zendikar. They were for the first deck I ever built on my own, the red/black casual one. I think by now they've both been traded away... I know I gave one of them to a good friend for his cube, so I know...

    I like reading about the Alara block, but Zendikar block has a lot of cards I enjoy. But then, so does Innistrad... Hellrider and Bloodline Keeper are a couple of my favorite cards. Oh, but Myr Battlesphere!... Damn ): Picking favorites is so hard. Lorwyn lore is pretty fun to read about, too...

    Interestingly, the first cards I ever actually bought were a Zendikar intro deck! I didn't play back then, honestly I just bought it because the foil Hellkite Charger that came in it was really pretty. It's now one of my favorite cards and I'm trying to figure out how to fit Bear Umbra into my...

    Well, yeah, but it's canon that Sarkhan Vol can turn into a dragon temporarily, as of Zendikar. His magic is closely tied to dragons, but still. (Hence why he is on the reprint of Form of the Dragon)

    Ooh, fun! Something to do with that planeswalker I've been working on. teensiest tiniest nitpick though, I don't know if he still does it but Nicol Bolas has a tendency to shut down other dragon planeswalkers when he finds them. Like, not to say draconic planeswalkers are impossible I mean the...

    Ooh, I have a copy of Intet! I might build something around it someday. It seems pretty cool. And I discovered recently my boyfriend has a Mayael and I really want him to use her for something, since his colors are Naya. Then again, my first EDH deck is definitely not Bant, so. I can't really...

    Ooh! Serra Avenger is really good. I pulled one last week, or some short time ago, I think. I'd like to have some more, because I think instead of the BG idea I want to make a standard-competent version of the WB deck I drafted last night. She'd be pretty great in it. Hovermyr is also cool. Hm...

    Aw :< Bummer. Mtg.com has a Building on a Budget column that might be of interest (though definitely price check some of this stuff because the War Falcons article suggests a deck with 4 Bonfire of the Damned and holy shit that's expensive not to mention 4 Cavern of Souls and Gavony Townships...

    sorry it was hard for you to get going, res :c Thanks for doing that, though. I think I'll add that to the resources list, if that's cool with you! So FNM was a draft tonight. Pack one I got Nefarox, Overlord of Grixis... for the rest of pack one I was passed cool black stuff and more stuff...

    Are you guys actually registered on their website? You don't have to be, but it allows you to change your avatar and in the chat box in a game it'll use the right gender (ie instead of always saying "X draws his initial hand" it will say she if you're a she; it always kinda bugged me). And you...

    Ooh! I think an Unglued/Unhinged draft would be pretty fun. CCGDecks' drafter and sealed generator don't have those sets, but TappedOut's does. I'll edit into the first post for future reference. Anyone else want to give that a go? (and any more input on the deckbuilding for newbie members idea)

    :3 Welcome, guys! (it was actually Colours posting in the fwee thread about his Jund deck that made me decide we probably have enough players floating around the forums that there should probably be a club by now) I have a fondness for green even though I've been favoring my vampires at FNM...

    Yep. You can have access to every card in the Deck Builder (even the weird Vanguard stuff if you check those in the Oracle when you're downloading the sets), but if you try to load a deck with a card that's banned/restricted in that format it'll tell you, and not let you use it. Except for...

    I've edited in a list of important shortcuts and handy tips for Cockatrice into the OP, for those who haven't used Cockatrice before. I hope they'll come in handy. Even though I left the list of resources, I still want to make some kind of fun thing for the people who don't know how to play so...

    I just find myself attracted to tribal decks for some reason. My very first standard-legal deck I built was all Myrs. I don't think I ever took it to FNM because it was a bit slow, but I'm never going to dismantle it, because when it works it's fucking hilarious. It abuses the hell out of...

    I have a couple decks that I bring to FNM usually. One is a red/green deck that prominently features creatures with Haste and/or Undying, especially Strangleroot Geist and Hellrider. The other is a black/red vampire deck that used to focus on the vampires that get +1/+1 counters for doing...

    One of the local game shops has a couple of Magic novels, prerevisionist ones I think. I've seen some graphic novels at the bookstore too. I'd kinda like a copy of Planeswalker's Guide to Alara because it apparently has lots of pretty arts in it... And after working on my EDH deck and reading...
