[Official] Harthan is more badass than you via ponies, magic, and stuff.

Most people are banking on Liliana seeing a lot of playing once Ravnica drops. I guess we'll see. I'm hanging on to mine in the hope that she spikes in price. My LGS owner seems to think she will.

I mean, look at it this way. Wizards has been trying desperately to make mono black control a viable thing. So far, that hasn't happened. Rotation and Ravnica gives them a chance to do it, and I think Liliana is a huge tell that they're going to print some good shit for the archtype. I believe firmly that she'll be the best M13 planeswalker once Ravnica is out.

The problem with Ajani is he doesn't protect himself, and he has mixed abiltiies. Is he aggro, or control? He's super beatable in the current Standard and I don't really see that changing come Ravnica.

Normally I'd be inclined to go with most people, since some of them doubtlessly know what they're talking about whilst I don't, but in this case I'm quietly confidant that I'm right.

Lili protects herself even less than Ajani, comes down at a higher cost, with lower loyalty in a color that does a worse job blocking at the moment. She also isn't going to affect the board very much. Compare her second ability to ISD Lili. Both offer situational removal, but ISD Lili does it for one less mana and one loyalty less, and even she isn't that good.

Add to that the current unplayability of her ultimate. You're guaranteed to be at 6 mana minimum when it goes off, which means you should already be able to cast basically everything in your deck. Sure you could start playing things like Griselbrand or Diabolic Revelation, but the problem is that all those cards are completely dead up to the point Lili's ultimate fires, and most of the time it isn't going to fire.

She's also one of the only four mana Plainswalkers who can't win you the game on her own. Chandra, Jace, Garruk and Ajani are all win conditions in their own right. So is ISD Lili; something that cannot be said for her M13 counterpart.

Basically the only think she'll have going for her is the ability to go hunting for shock lands, I don't think that's good enough. The only deck I can come up with that makes use of her would be some derpy contraption looking to exploit Entreat the Angles and Bonfire of the Damned; and I'm quietly confidant that idea sucks ass.

If they're reprinting shock lands then I can't imagine that we're going to get a whole lot of other lands that could combo with her ability, so I'm not really seeing the potential.

Of course there's a reasonable possibility that I'm talking rubbish. Time will tell.

I hear this is the place to talk about Antonio Cessaro vs. Santino Marella, the surefire MOTY.

No, no, no NO!

The NON-SPAM one!

Or we can carry on here.

 

[JGlass]

I don't know enough about what's going on to non-spam.

Are you aware of the quality of posters in the WWE sections? LOL

This is probably the weirdest, but among the best, crossovers I've ever seen.

You're great, Harthan, don't ever change or I'll practice my archery on your genitalia

 

[Harthan]

Oh, my. Thank you, I'll try not to do anything that might involve your arrowheads and my dick.

What sort of archery do you do, by the way? Is it just a hobby, or do you do it as a sport for...school, I guess? You're in high school, right?

 

[Milkyway!]

What do you do for a living these days Harthan?

I'm a student. Case Western Reserve University, chemical engineering major.

Yep, I'm in high school.

But I got into it about 3 weeks back at church camp. I found it incredibly therapeutic, not just because I can visualize stabbing people I hate in the face but also because it makes you calm down, take deep breathes, and focus only on the target and nothing else. I credit it in getting me through an entire week of religious bullshit.

I'm planning on making it into a hobby and getting better at it. To do that I'm gonna have to actually go to church on Sunday and ask the archery leader dude about local clubs.

Harthan when the hell are you me and Theo going to have another late night chat, because it's been too fucking long and I've already got the alcohol required in mah system.

Good times, good times. Those are the times I miss doing night shift. Now that I do mornings it takes away my late night adventures around these parts.

 

[JWGunslinger]

Sucks Haha those were the times I was on medical leave with my bad back when I spent every waking second on here haha. Now I'm busy trying to get hired as an extra on The Walking Dead as......you guess it, a zombie!

You'll have to practice being uninteresting

 

[JWGunslinger]

He he he. But I'm pumped as hell for it, for the experience, the money(definitely the money) and it'd be cool to see myself on TV. I should be in a few commercials in the next few months too so keep your eyes peeled for a tall ugly dude.

If you get the job I'd be interested to hear how long you have to sit through makeup.

 

[JWGunslinger]

If I do I'll definitely keep you guys updated, I'm very curious myself. I hope I'm one of the ones who gets shot haha.

I doubt you do, as you probably have to be part of the union as that counts as acting. At least, I think that's how it works. The rules behind film/TV making are kind of weird, but as soon as you do anything that is considered more than average extra work, you immediately get paid more. You also probably have to be a part of the union. Are you part of SAG or another actors guild?

 

[JWGunslinger]

No I'm not, this is the first time in trying to get into acting because my vocal coach/manager wants me to do some acting for experience and to have me more well rounded and hopefully make my interview skills better.

Right now I'm working with a lady who has coached people like Reba McEntire for singing and the cast of High School Musical for acting, now that's not what I'm trying to get into but my point is she's worked with big names. But she wants to get me comfortable in front of a camera since that's my biggest challenge right now is being relaxed in front of people, and acting is perfect for that. But what I'm working towards is a record deal and she's said during our sessions that I'm the most talented student she's ever had and that if there were one person she could have her father listen to(who passed away)it would be me. And in saying that I'm not trying to show off but I've never thought too much about my singing abilities and she gave me a huge boost in confidence there and I'm really proud of it. I'll keep you all up to date with my progress and hopefully this turns into something worthwhile, I know it's unlikely but i'd rather take a chance on it and fail than never try.

 

[Harthan]

Guys, I'm kind of bored. Let's talk about things. Ponies, fantasy football? Anything you like, really.
