I need the help of a friend with a decent video camera, a tripod, some video editing software, and no inhibitions about doing something silly. Also, I need a tuxedo, a steamroller and 100 yards of bubble wrap. I have the Beethoven CD. |

| My reputation decieves me. |

Ran into Qin, a friend of mine's wife. She had 15 year old daughter with her, as you can tell by the name she's Asian, well half. I tried to pleasant but she was extremely standoffish and just seemed nervous about me. She shuttled her daughter away from me rather quickly, who I had not seen in years. I was kinda hurt by that. I called John and asked what did I do to offend her. He said he didn't know but he would ask. He called me back and said he had heard a story where I bought this 19 year old Chinese woman a bunch of gifts and tried to actively date her and that she didn't want some rice king going after their daughter. I told John that the woman's name was Lily, I did pursue her with gifts and attention, and more importantly THIS HAPPENED TWENTY YEARS AGO. Qin got the story right but the dates wrong. Instead of a 40 year old man chasing a teenager, it was a guy courting a woman his age. Qin called me back, which never happens, and did apologize. She told me with my reputation she just assumed the worst. She was extremely embarrassed, and wasn't going to live it down for a while from the sound of her husband laughing in the background.
Sigh. |

I don't mind people using my rantings as the basis of artistic inspirations, but give me credit when you steal something almost word for word. |

That is going to be my new family motto, for when I start a family. "Let him be buggered that does not understand the jest." |

| Magic Themes |
[Apr. 13th, 2012|11:41 am] |
Was asked to put up what my magic decks are about. I don't build to just optimum decks, that's boring and what people with little imagination do. You can always net deck, most of the big tourney players around here do that. Ends up with a small number of decks being played over and over again. Boring. You want a challenge? Build a deck using only the crappy gold cards from Legends. So this is my list and the themes around them.
Abilities:
Madness (This is Sparta)
Rampage (Anger Mismanagement)
Double Strike (Hit Me Baby One More Time)- this one was a lot harder than you think, not many cards with that ability.
Flanking/Banding (#6) Added trample to the mix because I can drop a darksteel colossus like child's play but get stopped by chump blocks.
Poison (Hemlock Down) Poison, not infect. Pox on the head of people that came up with infect.
Tribal:
Kobolds (Kobold and the Kobeautiful) Everybody has to build a kobold deck at least once.
Archers (Bow Diddly) Sleeper hit with super trample.
Faeries (Fairy Godfather) All green weenies with flying. Alpha strike from hell.
Leviathans (Go Fish) Smallest creature in the deck is a 7/11. Have to turbo the lot of them.
Soldiers (Wehrmacht? There Macht!) Not for use on friends.
Thrulls (Thrulled to Death) Not a very powerful deck, but a good trainer.
Themes:
P/T=Creatures (Bruise Brothers) Lucky deck, shouldn't win but it does a lot.
P/T=Lands (Woody Woodchipper) Brutal nasty deck that turned out to be more fun than the uber white deck I made along side it.
Lightning in title (Ride the Lightning) Under construction
Aura Focused (Mortal Wombat) being rebuilt after bastard stole it and sold it to DNA.
Strategies:
Land Animation (Run Forest Run) When you get the kill condition, you are required to yell out the deck's name.
Discard (All Hail Discardia) NOT FOR USE ON FRIENDS. Deck wins 98% of the time. Guy quit in a finals rather than play against it.
Exile (10th Circle of Hell) Not for use on friends. Guts their deck from the inside out.
Mill (Snowball from Hell) Under construction, all artifacts.
Guessing (Name That Goon) AKA Short bus special. Makes opponents guess their top card or bad things happen.
Forced Draw (Thank You Sir, May I Have Another?) Just needs 4 Chains of Mephistopholes and it's back in business. Never should have gone into business with Willy, then I would still have all my decks.
Focused on single card:
Braids (Bet Mine's Bigger) using copies, paradox haze and mirror gallery can drop half the deck in a single round.
Concerted Effort (Sum of All Fears) Not for use on friends. Lots of weenies with unique abilities equal white untouchable monsters.
Circu (Dain Bramage) Deck being rebuilt, all cards are blue/black so I exile two everytime I play something.
Challenges:
All Crappy Legends (Taste the Rainbow) Worst deck, redeemed a little in multiplayer
Arabian Nights (Arabian Nightmare) White/black weenie deck, hard to find all the cards still looking for its first win.
Legendary Highlander (There Can Be Only One) Always under construction, needs 8 more dual lands.
Red Legends (Creative Anarchy) Under construction, needs Lu Bu.
Green Legends (Gringo Loco) Under construction, needs Rofellos.
Blue Legends (Rectomancy) Under construction, needs Sun Quan.
Black Legends/Sengirs (Mr. Sengir's Neighborhood) Needs Lich and Cabal Coffers.
White Legends/Serra (Sister Serra's Sanctimonious Sanctum) Needs way too much. |

Ride the Lightning
A new magic deck I've decided to build, looked at my decks and realized I had only one solid red deck, Kobold and the Kobeautiful. While a fun deck, I have 3-4 of the other colors mono. Problem with red is I don't like direct damage or land destruction as they are quite boring to me. So challenge myself, every card has to have the word lightning. So for my memory later:
Lightning Hounds OOO
Lightning Dragon OOO
Lightning Serpent OOO
Leyline of Lightning OOO
Lightning Coils O
Lightning Surge OOO
Lightning Cloud OOO |
