Well, maybe that's just my personal bias, after all I'm more of a Timmy than a Spike but cards like Thought Erasure or counters in general just suck the fun out of Magic for me. Yes, these cards increase the number of options in the game, they add a layer of complexity yadda yadda, but ultimately more isn't always better.

I get that people like to play these cards, denying someone else is fun for some people. Others play it for they are Spikes and that's okay from a competitive PoV.

For me it's more about fun and the opponent's deck choice - sadly - has a huge impact on that. It's not about winning or losing, as much as I hate losing, but on a fun scale you just can't win vs this kind of deck, no matter who ends up with 0 life.

Ill still wish him a happy birthday. Ill probably nécro this very thread to do it (if it ever dies, knock on wood)

But yeah he should put me on ignore, I don’t think he has interests outside of magic so we’ve got nothing to talk about :(. I miss his old ramp deck, that thing was great



Hey Barney’s got another date at the end of the month. This nice, smart Thai girl . Guess what she wants to do? She wants to go see Star Wars. Already sounds good :)

What, you mean he won't be wishing me happy birthday? I couldn't be happier about that. I've been trying to get people to not wish me happy birthday for years. The last time, my sister-in-law - who undoubtedly knew better - sent me birthday greetings anyway because why not right? I told her if she does it again I'll send her a "congratulations, you are one year closer to osteoporosis/menopause" message on her birthday. I think she got the message.

That's why my birthday is a jealously-guarded secret :D

NightHawk were you born on Christmas day?

A Buddhist walks up to a hotdog stand and says: "Make me one with everything"
The hotdog vendor giggles and hands him his hotdog and says: "$5 please"
The monk gives him a $10 bill and waits while the vendor just stares back at him. Awkwardly the monk asks: "What about my change?"
"Ah", the hotdog vendor replies. "Change must come from within"






That's the only buddhist joke I can remember... and it's probably been done to death by now.

I still haven't played with Thought Erasure, but I've been on the receiving end quite a few times. And it certainly is annoying when they remove your key card turn 2. On the other hand, against Dimir, it's a real thrill to keep a Nullhide Ferox in hand, playing out everything else asap. I've seen numerous conceeds when they cast thought erasure and realise they have to discard that. (I've also seen them pick that to discard out of a full hand without knowing/reading the cardtext, and then conceed after spending 10 more seconds hovering over the creature on the board)

I'm actually not that bothered about thought erasure, compared to simic flash archetype. Opponents entire deck made up of counterspells and playing in your end step. Fun, fun, fun.

I think that joke is better if it ends after the first sentence. Buddhist walks up to hot dog stand, « make me one with everything « .

Super dry joke, I love it . I’ll try it on her :)

My only Buddhism joke is one I did in high school during a final exam in Moral and Religious Education. The question was : Zen Buddhism was founded in _______ B.C.


I put Vancouver

One of my best friends - from school till today- was born Dec 24... She hates this jokes... We always tried to go see her on her birthday but the best we could ever do was to have some cake at 4 pm and then rush to our respective family dinners.
She is the true grinch.
