Does anyone know where I can get custom sleeves printed?

Next time I go to a magic thing I want to make a statement.

Grites

Okay. So I’m still having some trouble filling the hole left by Timely Reinforcements in my deck. I lose life a lot quicker thanks to shocklands, and I don’t have any powerful lifegain. I also don’t want to splash green at this point.

But I’ve come up with a possible solution?

I think I’m going to cut the crypt ghasts to about 2, and then add 2 Firemane Avengers.

I almost always have at least two spirit tokens on the field to attack with. This card could be handy I think?

Alright guys. I got a rough idea that I’m going to try out.

A jund ramp deck. With a focus on black. So… i’m really nervous about the mana base and It might not work at all but we’ll see…

basically I want to do things like:

• Crypt ghast
• Liliana of the Dark Realms (for all her abilities. Swamp tutoring, + or minus X = # of swamps, and emblem with swamps give 4B)
• Griselbrand
• and… borborymos enraged? If I can make it work? 

and mana dumps like:

• Devils play 
• and possibly diabloic revelation

And then I’m planning on having vampire nighthawks and maybe basilica screechers (or something else with extort or lifelink). And then the fact that most of my creatures have flying makes them more valuable targets for Lilianna’s -3 ability.

I mean I want to do all these cool things I’m just nervous that with so many swamp dependent things, a three colour mana base will be too difficult? But then if I put in like chromatic lantern, maybe? But then also there’s the idea that maybe primarily green ramps decks just do it better. so why bother with black?

I don’t know you guys. 

Help on this one? I’m a little pressed for time, but I’m going to so more searching around for monoblack decks or similar things to get ideas from once I’ve got the time tonight.

People who have experience with similar decks: You opinions are very much wanted!

I’m feeling like I wanna make a deck that makes use of some extort cards, and possibly griselbrand. Are there some relevant mono black decks out there (or any colour combination really)? I noticed Conley woods played one at pro tour Gatecrash.

So. Helping my sister design magic cards for her greeks versus trojans game.

When Poseidon enters the battlefield, all trojan’s get sent back to their owner’s hand.

And Zeus makes a lightning storm. Whenever a trojan you control attacks, deal 1 damage to target warrior or player.

The God’s also provide buffs to either greeks or trojans.

I’m just excited that she’s so into this haha.

naftman asked: You little sister is totally rad

She is, she’s really really cool, and I’m super proud of her. She has a lot of big ideas, and she’s very creative. I’m kinda waiting for the right time to bring her to a tournament with me. But I need to get more comfortable with the community in the city first. I’m thinking a prerelease would probably be the best thing to bring her to first. One day.

So I used to worry that my sister wasn’t going to turn out to be anything like me

But then she comes home from school yesterday to tell me that for her school english project on the Illiad, she’s making Magic The Gathering cards out of all the characters.  And that’s how I ended up helping her with her homework.

She has this like, rad teacher that used to play MTG. And I think it’s so cool that in my town, nearly all the magic players are female. I play with mostly women. My little 13 year old sister plays with mostly women.

I really hope that one day, when she starts participating in tournaments, she won’t have to face the same shit that I do. So if you’re wondering why I get so pissed about sexist asswipes in MTG, that’s why.

Because I have this little sister who sat and watched me play magic with my friends, and thought it was so cool that she saved up money and went to buy her own cards! So that she could learn and play with me! And then she brought those cards to school and taught all her friends, and they come over to our house and play MAGIC. These 13 year old GIRLS. They LOVE this game, and I don’t want to see them turn away from it when they get older and realize how hostile the community is to them just because they aren’t boys.

And if any of you shithead woman hating, rape-trivializing, sexists give her any of your shit, I’ll fuck you up.

I’m not kidding.

I will fuck you up. I will tear your intestines out through your throat and string you up with them.

Anonymous asked: Everyone runs into unsavory people when they play Magic; it's not a matter of gender or even sexuality so stop trying to focus blame on a group of people rather than the actual person at fault. If you refuse to deal with it you can kindly leave the community seeing as that you're just trying to stir up drama. Silencethereafter has brought up a more than valid point and still you sit there and throw a tantrum rather than attempting to understand what she said. Your ignorance isn't cute, stop it.

Aww, the grayface thinks i’m trying to be cute for it. Are you fucking pissed that I’m not being ‘cute’ for you? Does it just fucking tick you off that I spend a moment of my time talking about real issues and standing up for myself instead of sitting down, shutting up, and playing ‘cute’ for you? Man that must really fucking PISS YOU OFF.

Cry more male/male apologist tears, asswipe.

Here’s some facts:

Group of people I was blaming: Sexist, misogynistic, women hating, harassers and the people who enable them

Group of people I was not blaming: People who just so happen to play magic

Just trying to stir up drama huh? Never heard that woman-silencing tactic before. Cause we’re all just drama whores who want attention, right? It’s not as if women are victims or anything. By all means, keep harassing me. I deserve it. For trying to ‘stir up drama’.

You’re proving my point, dumbass.

(EDIT: I’m tagging this mtg so people in that tag will STOP THINKING THIS SHIT DOESN’T HAPPEN.)

Grites Deck Tentative Standard Update!!

It’s not perfect. I might still fiddle with some of the numbers. And I don’t have the lands sorted out yet, but it’s just a matter of switching out a couple dual lands, not a big deal.

DECK UNDER THE CUT!!!
