Green
is it possible that Green is going to be stronger with the release of M12? we have thrun that sees no play, we have green sun zenith that sees no play, we have plenty of artifact hate from green, we have the green channcelor that gives green a boost turn 1... i am thinking that birds will be back in m12. now with this new hexproof x/x for each forest in play coming from m12... is it possible to just beat face with green? nobody plays Green sun but when you actually play the card...its really fucking good. i just have a hunch about green being pretty good.i have ordered my set of the treeman...well see how this goes

staring
http://scgmobile.com/
i am sitting here staring at this....
and a lot of things are going through my head for whatever this may be...
the other day i was wishing that SCG had an app after failing to find something useful for MTG in the Apps network for apple and i really hope this is what i think it is...
2 hours left until we all find out what this is and if it gets pushed back i am gonna freak out. i understand that Evan is a very busy man and that he puts so much work into everything he does but man... if this gets pushed back i am gonna freak out. waiting for the Magic Show is sometime unbearable because of how its put together and how so much greatness is put into a 10 to 15 min youtube vid. fuck all the people that say its bad. i would really like to see the haters out there put something like this out that is some how better... fuck'em.

Mbc 2
Dispise is one if the answers black has been searchin for as far as plansewalker removal. Burn bounce counter attack have been the solutions to removing these walkers and each color has their own specific way, some having more ways than others. As for black vampire hexmage was it's choice and while it's not the worst easy to get rid of a walker, it's certain not the best by any means. Dispise changes that. With black being heavy in removal this card is a blessing to deal with the walkers and not just jace. Gideon, tezzeret and koth are also problematic. This going to be blacks main attack against planswalkers as I have zero faith in hex parasite. It's fragile and very situational., it's definatley a card inam going to stay awa from
Sheoldred
Quickly, inhale been keeping my eye on her to see where she will land as far as prices and she started low and has slowly risen in price. Either people see something I don't see about this card or edh players have a huge boner for this card and are buying it like crazy. I am still watching it and I will probably pick one up. The abilities are string and chapin made an excellent point about Rey dawnbringer seeing some play while she was around. Difference is that this is a whole new world that reya has never seen and reya was actually a little harder to cast. I won't be surprised if this card makes it into my sideboard and even as am1 of in my main.

Mbc thoughts
After reading chapins Article and listenin to Evan and brad Nelson talk about the black cards that are going to be coming out this weekend, a few of my initial thoughts have changed.
I originally thought that obliterator was actually bad. Sure go for the throat and gets verdict are going to be in the new world if standard, but that doesn't mean that obliterator shouldn't be played. The fact of the matter is that he's so powerful, not playing him and wanting to make an MBC deck with out him is just crazy. So my opinion on him has changed and I will acquire at least 2 this weekend. Or maybe I trade in my tezzeret set for a set of these guys... Hmmmm
Dismember is a card that has quickly grown on me and the way I was going to use him was with my grand architect deck. The deck pretty much has wurmcoils as a psudeo removal card but that's it. So birds are free to fly over and do the untappinnof thier shit, buy because of it's cost to potentially be 1 mana, it fits in the deck perfectly. It's an effective removal spell that can kill opposing Obliterators and shut down moltentail masticores.

are you kidding me
what is the point of having MTGslavation forums? better question, what is the point of having forums on mtgsalvation and having not tier deck forms? i understand that there are casual players and thats fine. but when i go into a post that has tons of replies from people, hundreds of decklists and and "input" on the deck. but seriously...what the fuck is going on these things? i have posted on twitter my concern and frusteration about the forums but man, this is really fucking ridiculous
the main issue i have with these decklists is that everyone things they can post a list and its right. whats worse is that people automatically assume every deck list should compose of the best cards and in 4 ofs such as
4x Jace the Mind Sculptor
4x Squaderon Hawks
4x Preordain
then random bullshit that they feel is good enough to make a UW control deck
but what has really triggered my frustration this early early morning is the fact that i go to a MBC post and thinking that maybe, just maybe i forgot about something coming out of new phyrexia and this is what i see
4x surgical extraction
4 phyrexian obliterator
4 lashwrithe
insert random shit half vampires with sheoldred and other random shit.
look people, a whole new set has come out and the best you have come up with is adding those 12 cards with your pile of shit? Dispise? Dismember? Geth's Verdict? remember that Grave Titan card from M11? how about Nantuko Shade? there are a ton of cards to choose from, Life's Finale!! come on people! Black sun zenith!
another reason for my frusteration is that people put these decks together on paper or online, whatever and never test them. then when you try to suggest something to add to their deck, they dismiss your comment, defend their horrible deck even though A. its not even built and B. its not tested and they Defend it with ZERO results...how do you do that?! how?

fuck!
fuck its hard to concentrate during the day time. i want to write something but i cant seem to get it out of my head and onto my computer. when i write my blogs, i am usually at work, its early as fuck in the morning and i am still waking up. i guess it helps that i am listening to podcasts while i work and when i drive to work.
but maybe thats the key? maybe i need to write while i listen to podcasts
like when i listen to top 8 magic podcast, i brew like a motherfucker. that cast is great :D
