I should have preceded it with "Ozzy says goodbye."

Ahahaha.

Pony red is black?

ponies are rakdos

clearly

how do you guys have avatars on Cockatrice?

You have an account?

Haven · 2012-02-14 15:31:46

Pony red is black?

Juan said I should choose red; that was my response.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-02-14 15:32:00

Yes.

Idler · 2012-02-14 15:32:48

I don't think any of the ponies are Rakdos

Nightmare Moon is probably mono-black.

Haven · 2012-02-14 15:35:24

Fluttershy is totally Rakdos Fanon!Pinkie is, I guess.

Idler · 2012-02-14 15:36:35

Discord is Rakdos, but he's only sort-of a pony.

millercross · 2012-02-14 15:37:25

Well, you log on Cockatrice's site, then go to user profile and after that upload an avatar. It has to be cropped very specifically, though.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-02-14 15:38:32

....oh.

Gelzo · 2012-02-14 15:54:49

Pony red is black. Just like Japanese blue is green, woman purple is fuchsia, and Canadian huh is eh.

Idler · 2012-02-15 09:02:30

"It's actually quite simple, but since you've only recently begun to walk upright, it may take some time to explain."
—Jace Beleren, to Garruk Wildspeaker

Ooh, burn.

millercross · 2012-02-15 09:41:24

I never thought of Jace as the kind of guy who'd insult anyone.

but when he does, he's full of snap.

Lunate · 2012-02-15 09:57:14

he's full of snap.

Not sure if intentional.

millercross · 2012-02-15 10:05:50

I find it rather cold of you that you think it's not intentional

and i'm also not sure if that is what you mean, so...>_>

Lunate · 2012-02-15 10:20:16

Snap is a bounce spell, one of Jace's abilities. Is that it?

Obā-san · 2012-02-15 10:23:24

Something I will always like YGO for: Nothing is as satisfying as your opponent's face when you bounce their two tribute monster.

millercross · 2012-02-15 10:25:02

Snap is a bounce spell, one of Jace's abilities. Is that it?

oh, i didn't know about that.

With that said, I think I've found a bounce spell not called Capsize that I like, huh.

Idler · 2012-02-15 10:39:02

Someone on the Gatherer comments said that they should have lots of flavour texts that are just Planeswalkers insulting each other. I agree.

Gelzo · 2012-02-15 10:40:41

I think there have been some flavor texts that suggest the verbal component of a number of goblin spells involve cursing heavily.

millercross · 2012-02-15 10:41:04

I still like Chandra and Jace's duel decks because of this:

The pyromancer summoned up her mightiest onslaught of fire and rage. Jace feigned interest.

jace be like the chillest of the chill, yo

Idler · 2012-02-15 10:46:41

But then Chandra got her revenge when Jace was hit by a weapon even he couldn't counter...THE BANHAMMER.

I like Chandra's flavour text quotes; it's nice to see someone continuing the Jaya Ballard "there is no problem that can't be solved by setting it on fire" philosophy.

millercross · 2012-02-15 10:56:47

To be fair, Ballardism is a pretty good philosophy.

Although I still want more of Jaya herself. Chandra's good, but not that good.

Idler · 2012-02-15 11:00:06

Jaya's long gone, I'm afraid. At least she got a card, unlike Leshrac, Xantcha, Tevesh Svat, Varchild, Gix...

millercross · 2012-02-15 11:07:27

I know, I know. ;_;

I still remember Maro joking about Wizards killing only the characters he likes, like Venser.

Idler · 2012-02-15 11:12:32

I wonder if Norin's still alive, hiding in a cave somewhere.

Gelzo · 2012-02-15 11:17:09

That dude can get away from Split Second spells. Something tells me he's alright as long as the plane he's on can support human life.

Idler · 2012-02-15 11:20:12

Well, Prodigal Sorcerer and its ilk can kill him.

millercross · 2012-02-15 11:24:47

Hm, I've tweaked my Riku deck again. I managed to go 5 cards over the limit and I'm not sure of what to take away.

Anyone willing to help?

Idler · 2012-02-15 11:28:20

Show me.

Ramus · 2012-02-15 11:49:55

Pick your five smallest spells and toss them. This is EDH after all, go big or go home.

Unknown · 2012-02-15 11:53:39

The user and all related content has been deleted.

Ramus · 2012-02-15 11:54:26

Hello, squiddle. I figured I should pop in here a little more often than I was, so here I am.

millercross · 2012-02-15 12:02:36

here you go

Idler · 2012-02-15 12:11:25

The Hydras don't work with Riku's ability, and nor does Soul Seizer (which is bad anyway).

millercross · 2012-02-15 12:52:14

I wouldn't say Soul Seizer's bad. Sure, he has a requirement and is relatively easy to kill, but you can make him unblockable and clone him, which is quite good enough for me, if you ask me.

As for the hydras, I see what you mean. I guess I'll use them for a monogreen EDH deck or something.

Ramus · 2012-02-15 12:59:15

Soul Seizer would probably work great in a ninja deck. Those things are all about being unblockable.

Then again, I can just shove a Butcher's Cleaver and Trepanation Blade on an Invisible Stalker and be done with the whole business. Totally not bitter about that happening.

Idler · 2012-02-15 13:19:16

A clone of Soul Seizer can't transform.

I've just been editing my Basandra deck. This deck is so stupid; it does hardly anything itself - the whole point is to just make everyone else attack each other.

millercross · 2012-02-15 14:01:34

A clone of Soul Seizer can't transform.

why wasn't i told this ;_;

Idler · 2012-02-15 14:04:25

What would it transform into? A token doesn't have a reverse side.

millercross · 2012-02-15 14:10:06

Well, I just thought that a copy would have the same function, I guess?

Anyway, made some edits, I'm still over 100, but I only have to take three cards off.

King_Friday · 2012-02-15 14:57:55

Quick question about Flusterstorm, do I get to copy it for the spell I'm countering?

Haven · 2012-02-15 14:59:18

Yes. (Which makes it better than Spell Pierce in every situation I can think of.)

millercross · 2012-02-15 15:07:24

What if you want to counter an enchantment?

Haven · 2012-02-15 15:08:07

...huh, for some reason I thought spell pierce was also only instants or sorceries.

millercross · 2012-02-15 15:10:39

I guess there is...

B-)

...a hole in your plan.

Haven · 2012-02-15 15:11:17

I'm a bit flustered over missing that.

King_Friday · 2012-02-15 15:13:59

Thanks Haven. Somehow I knew you'd know. However I feel you should apologise for the pun :P

Gelzo · 2012-02-15 15:46:12

If we had to apologize for every pun made, we'd be here all damn day.

Ramus · 2012-02-15 15:59:31

If Haven had to do that for each pun he'd ever made, we'd all be dead before he was done.

King_Friday · 2012-02-15 16:13:31

XD. You guys. Although I hate it, it's part of Haven who I love and therefor must accept it.

Hey, just found this little gem:

millercross · 2012-02-15 16:20:00

that's...pretty nonwhite, actually
