An Early Morning Poem

Pain dost come costly From the mere sight of cover, Broken like a cloud in warm spirits. Why have you forsaken me? Many shuffles thou partook, Yet now you split, you weak soul. I cannot let you be stricken, For no man shall be left alone. Good thing I have extra sleeves. -Rand Simpleton

I'm Back!

I have returned from the mountains where I have traveled. I'd like to dedicate a high amount of praise to actors. I memorized a three and a half page poem in a day, I'm really tired. If you would like poetic insight this evening/morning, I can answer them. It may be a bit laggy, because I'm super tired, but I'll answer when I can Until then, Rand Simpleton.

Anyone else notice Panharmonicon coming out now, and next June includes a reprint of Roon? He’s already infamous in my playgroup for ETB or cloud shift tricks, and with Panharmonicon, it’s sure to be even crazier. Got a non-creature problem or two? Acidic Slime is in the deck. Couple of creatures got you down? Friend Hunter is a friend in the deck. I’d probably swap in a Cathar’s Crusade and Captain of the Watch (6 soldiers and 12 +1/+1 counters? Yes, please), but I’ll make sure to have a Panharmonicon ready when I pick up this deck.

A Morning Ballad

To commemorate a Monday, let me sing a ballad as old as time, more crotchety than Father Time, it's for the sourest of all Kithkin, Gaddock Teeg. Gaddock Teeg, you bane to wizards You advise the other Kithkin to be worse than lizards. If you were eldrazi You'd Thought-Knot See All of the noncreature spells away. Your best friends with a girl from another plane To hate bear all people that are lame Guarding Thraben is the key To be hated at any thing Just await the punches from people Gaddock Teeg, let's call it a truce. I played Ruric Thar, but I will still lose Mizzix will die And Melek will cry Because many noncreature spells are failing. -Rand Simpleton

Just wanted to share a great game from last week

So i was playing a late night game of EDH with me and 3 other buddies. It was maybe 1-1:30 am and I needed to end it quickly because we all had work in the morning. I was playing my Brion Stoutarm deck that has a very heavy goblin subtheme. The Oloro player had stalled the game pretty hard and had somewhere around 65 life and was the second biggest threat on the field. I had about 25 goblins out, which had started as 4. Thats just kinda how Krenko worked out. I also had out Boggart Shenanigans and Impact Tremors. Now, I had an idea to end the game quickly. I cast Goblin War Strike to do 25 damage to the Oloro player. Then I passed my turn. As luck would have it, he drew and played some board wipe or another, i forget which. In response, I tapped Krenko. Everyone immediately took 25 damage from 25 more goblins entering the field, which knocked out my friend playing Horde of Notions, and left two others in pretty bad shape. And then, when my 50 goblins died, I got to spread out the damage from boggart shenanigans as they died. It was the best, most butt-clenching win I have ever pulled in my life. Especially since I was thinking i’d probably lose because once my goblins were gone, I didn’t have anything else.

For those who missed Yeen's game

An excellent play was made, Daretti Iconoclast destroyed a squid making over 20 squid tokens, then with Blowfly Infestation out Yeen played Incremental Blight to sweep the tokens. He is currently being forced to take a bath before reentering the tavern. -Delf

I looked up Cockatrice and found that rhe licensing was illegal and the development site was shut down by hasbro as of 2013. I found numerous githubs on the project. Could you link to which version is compatible with games that YEEN will be playing?

https://cockatrice.github.ioThat is the current edition of cockatrice. It has not been taken down. The download will give you the base deal, the oracle to get the cards, everything you need. Use the woogerworks server, and 4747 for one of the odd things, I have forgotten what it goes to, but it's necessary. You will have to make an account, but the rest is easy. Sir Yeens lobby will be YEENS SHOPPassword: Yeen If you have any more questions, just ask. -Rand Simpleton

An Open Letter to Tibalt, the Fiend Blooded

Gather around the hearth, this is an open letter to the profane prince himself, Tibalt. Dear Tibalt, Sir, I mourn for you. Most people acclaim you to the be the worst walker in the game, but I think contrary. You have a great ult, just a terrible way to get there. I mean, if I draw my omniscience and loose it to you, I would die. But, if you insurrect a huge field, you devastate. And beyond that, are you even alive? Sorin killed you in a duel deck, but most duel decks are not canon. Could we see you again, or will you be a the second ghost walker? Will Kaya have to kill you? I wouldn't think so, you are burn incarnate. Keep burning. Best wishes, Rand Simpleton.

A Special Request

Mister Yeen would like to host a special game of EDH on cockatrice tomorrow (Sunday) at 10pm CST. He would like to test the potency of planeswalkers as commanders, as one developer mentioned he would be fine with them being used as commanders. This is not an invitation to break cards like Jace the Mind Sculptor, this is an invitation to see if planeswalker commanders could add to our fun in EDH. Mister Yeen will be preparing Daretti Ingenious Iconoclast and Tamiyo, Field Researcher promising "only the most fun for many people". We hope you're able to join us and happy building, -Delf

A Morning Ballad

This morning, to commemorate the rising sun, let me sing a ballad to Heliod, God of the Sun Oh Heliod, bringer of light I love you, just out of spite If you were a pie I eat you as I cry Because you are vilest to your core You let the plants grow in the day And gift us the clerics to show the way They may be pious Around your large Bias Since you killed my sweet love Elspeth So go on, bring the Sun All of your shanties are shunned You were worshipable But now, just terrible Not even Athreos could return your love.

Evening With Commander

This evening with my Vorel of the Hull Clade deck, I pumped a nimbus swimmer to become a 36/36. I played Prime Speaker Zegana with 36 1/1 counters, drew 37 cards and won the game. Lesson to you all:"The 1/4 Vorel does not bring much of a quarrel, but his actions are scarier than death." -The Glorious Rand Simpleton.

[the-pup-and-bugle]

Listed are a variety of intriguing removal spells that generate saprolings for a variety of purposes. Aether Mutation in Riku? Mercy Killing in Gahiji? Naya removal that builds a field? Higher costed, but worthwhile if you get use out of every single one of the card's attributes. -Delf
