Current events
This page is for discussion of stuff related to the game coming up this week, no matter when that actually is. For instance, we can all assume Nate isnt coming for some lame reason and that Ed is sick of pizza and is bringing teriyaki or some other crap. They can post something here if that happens to be untrue.

Attendance and Food Preference
3/28/08 --Edmiao 09:37, 24 March 2008 (MST) present, but leaving around 11pm. no pizza.
--Dieter the Bold 13:02, 24 March 2008 (MST) Present, pizza please. We still have a whole case full of pepsi, so please drink that (unless you don't like pepsi). Also, Sin City's on the Egyptian at midnight this Friday, so if people want to knock off early and roll to that (missing Gabe and Ed at that point) then I wouldn't be opposed. Fine to game until the wee hours with everyone else, though.
--Brandon 14:30, 24 March 2008 (MST) Hey Matt, would you mind if I played on Friday? Do you have some role for me to play? I'll definitely come by to play Magic, regardless, but I think that I will be available, and would like, to do some roleplaying.
--Matts 14:47, 24 March 2008 (MST)Does the pope wear a big hat? Of course you're welcome to come by! We'll have a role for you for sure!
--Gdaze-- "Pope... put on your Pope hat..."
"Its a stupid hat..."
"Come on Pope..."
BEN: will be there, and am in for pizza. I'd much rather play into the wee hours than go see a movie.
Ranting and raving or other random comments
FREE CHEESE:
Ed: thanks for the cheese, jason, it is excellent!!
--Gdaze 23:42, 23 March 2008 (MST) Yes, this cheese was really good, thanks so much! What kind is it again???
JASON: That cheese is an experimental thing made by the cheesemakers. I believe its base is flagship reserve, but with something added. I still have more than I can eat, so if anyone finishes what they have and wants more, let me know.
--Edmiao 12:00, 24 March 2008 (MST) trying to fatten me up? bring it to our next board gaming extravaganza. or better yet, come to games on friday and we'll eat it all. you could play hassan, it's been warhammer revival in reboot.
--Gdaze-- You seem trustworthy... would you like to join our group?
--Dieter the Bold 13:03, 24 March 2008 (MST) Speaking of our next board gaming extravaganza, howzabout this weekend? It's Sakura-Con, so I know Gabe is out, but other people? Also, one of the panels at Norwescon I went to was Board Games for Non-Beginners. The dude who's the chair for the board that decides the Origins awards was there along with some other lady also deep in the industry giving out recommendations. I'd like to hear others' thoughts on some of the games and companies I jotted down.
BEN: I have a lot of shit going on at work right now, so it is doubtful that I will be available this weekend. that and I played like 25 hours of boardgames in NY...kim's family are fans.
Ed: not this weekend, brother in law in town. probably not next weekend either.

Weekly Magic Whining/Complaining/Smack Talking
--Brandon 16:32, 23 March 2008 (MST) Hey all, I'm back in town. Is anyone going to be around BnD this afternoon or tomorrow evening? I want to swing by and pick up some cards. I've got a deck on the brain.
--Gdaze-- Mwuhaha, even though I won't be there wait till you take on my cra-ze blue & red deck!
--Edmiao 08:56, 24 March 2008 (MST)Gabe, i love your blue/red draw deck, so awesome. immitation being the greatest form of flattery, i was trying to make a similar theme deck, but have been unable to come up with anything good. i have a few cards that would go into your deck great, though. Eye of the storm, i think it is, is one. Brandon, I have Blue, White, Red and artifacts/gold boxes at my place. you can drop by and pick em up if those are colors you need. otherwise on friday. i made a new millstone sans millstone deck that was ok, but got creamed by goblins. revamped it, gabe, down to 60 cards and took out the white, if you can believe that. we'll see how it works.
--Gdaze-- Heh heh, well I had been working on that red/blue deck for awhile, just couldn't get the right cards in it. And scary, that milstonish deck was fairly annoying to play. Although, not as annoying as that token deck! That thing is a creature making machine.
--Brandon 14:30, 24 March 2008 (MST) Sounds like I missed some fun Magic! The cards I'm looking for (mostly because there are the only ones that I have inventory of in my head) are the new ones I bought, which last I saw were in a tupperware container at BnD. If you incorporated those cards into the main library (which should probably be done - at least with the cards not in decks), I'll totally swing by your house, 'cause it's red and white I need. If not, and they're still in the tupperware, I'll either swing by BnD sometime (with permission, mind) or sort through them on Friday. Regardless, I'm ready to get millstoned and tokened to death on Friday. Sounds like I'll have to wait to get cra-zied.
Ed- I did not touch da tup er ware. gabe's blue/red draw deck is the most dope deck i've ever seen. i should make a version on the workstation. my millstone deck is mostly annoying to play against.
--Dieter the Bold 15:27, 24 March 2008 (MST) I'll be home around 8pm if you want to swing by, Brandon. We can talk specific times for later in the week, but times can vary if I make it out the door later in the morning than I plan, although I can make an effort if we set something in stone.
--Gdaze-- Well just imagen if I had TWO of those enchantments. Then every time I cast a soccery I'd be casting two instants for free. Thats fairly crazy.
--Brandon 15:58, 24 March 2008 (MST) Thanks, Dieter. I'll plan on swinging by after 8 tonight. Ed (and Gabe), I'll wait until Friday for you to help me figure out what the hell is going on with Eye of the Storm. As it stands, I don't really get it.
--Gdaze 17:22, 24 March 2008 (MST) Dear lord... that is an annoying card. In my deck it'd be even crazier, as I could just kill people outright with my dragons. Try combining it with http://www.trollandtoad.com/p146460.html. Gross.
--Gdaze-- Wow Ed, I just had to post this... combine this with my dragon, 7 damage every turn. http://www.trollandtoad.com/p110610.html
--ed: nice. or combine your dragon with the dragon mage, when it does damage all players discard hand and draw 7. the two dragons together that's 12 damage per hit and you got 7 cards in your hand. course it has to survive. i like your artifact above better.
ed: ok, best combo for you gabe: Niv-Mizzet plus Curiosity (or ophidian eye does the same thing for more mana; we have one ophidian eye, i think). once cast the game is over instantly. then add all your draw card shit and you pull this combo out of the deck.
--Gdaze 19:45, 24 March 2008 (MST) Wow, nasty.
--Matts 08:50, 25 March 2008 (MST)We don't have any teferi mage of zhufbar do we? Cause I think a deck built around him would be even better than one built around sky swallower.
BEN: not a chance...that guy is pretty valuable, i think (the card costs 8 bucks), and is used in quite a few of the championship tournament decks.
--Gdaze-- Teferi is pretty gross just by himself. His instant lock out is just painful. And yeah, you could build a lot of neat decks around him. I mean nobody else can play instants??? Thats locking out an entire card type with one card. Insane.
