&lt;p&gt;I know the joke’s been done but I think we all needed Elesh Norn + Door in gif form.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;img height="150" src="http://blogs.bgsu.edu/artc4130jamiet/files/2012/08/elesh-norn2.jpg" width="200"/&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;*Note to self, when battling Norn, pick a building with lots of doors.*&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Partially why I’ve made sure the doors in the Lumengrid are under her width, just in case she get’s angry at me again…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ah hah! Her ONE weakness!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Oh you have to be FUCKING KIDDING ME! How many of these fucking “Ask___” blogs are there!? WHO ENJOYS THIS!?

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I want to build an Elemental EDH deck, I miss Lorwyn so I want to build a deck inspired by my favourite set.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What I can’t decide on is what colours to play, I’m torn between:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Mono-Red Ashling Commander&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Red/Black, no idea what Commander&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;5 Colour Horde Commander &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;Help?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Horde of Notions for sure! It&amp;#8217;s a lot of fun to go straight elemental tribal and it scales well to the competitive level of your playgroup (i.e. either you can do fun silly stuff and still win or you can do awful combo smash-y bullshit and win all the time!)&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://gatheringofmagic.tumblr.com/post/26257104574</link><guid>http://gatheringofmagic.tumblr.com/post/26257104574</guid><pubDate>Sun, 01 Jul 2012 00:46:46 -0400</pubDate><category>edh</category><category>magic the gathering</category><category>Elder Dragon Highlander</category><category>mtg commander</category><category>Ashling</category></item><item><title>lorstarcutter:

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So I had a really fun idea for EDH Zedruu the Greathearted. I play the evil variant of Zedruu. There’s two major ways to play Zedruu, one of which is Group Hug, and the other that just looks like Group Hug but actually aims to cause more harm than does good for the group. The idea I had was running a Darksteel Reactor. For those who don’t recall:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="445" src="http://magiccards.info/scans/en/ds/114.jpg" width="312"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And then I give it to someone with a donation ability. It’s great because either way I’m getting my way: The game is ending in at least 20 turns and that person is winning, or they don’t realize I’ve painted a target on their face and now everyone is trying to kill themselves before the turn limit is up. I get what I want. And to make it worse, something I can do before that player dies is I can tuck my Reactor in response to them declaring blockers. So when they die, my Reactor won’t go with them. It’s such a clever ploy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Darksteel Reactor&lt;/strong&gt; - Kev Walker&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Footnote: There’s one thing I overlooked when I read this, if they’re not stupid, Darksteel Reactor’s upkeep isn’t mandatory. They can bargain with other players by not putting a counter on it every turn. But I’m hoping human nature will take over. The deck is partially about playing on the player’s actual emotions and decisions. I’m hoping winning the game in 20 turns is enticing enough.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Damn, if it was a “have to” trigger this would be the greatest deck idea of all time. &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://gatheringofmagic.tumblr.com/post/26217876524</link><guid>http://gatheringofmagic.tumblr.com/post/26217876524</guid><pubDate>Sat, 30 Jun 2012 13:05:58 -0400</pubDate><category>edh</category><category>mtg</category><category>magic the gathering</category><category>zedruu</category></item><item><title>I've had 80% of an Ezuri elves tribal EDH sitting in my room for months and yesterday I finally put it to good use by making it an Edric deck</title><description>&lt;p&gt;Literally just thrown together out of cards I had laying around (that weren&amp;#8217;t already in decks) it&amp;#8217;s damn fun to play too!

&lt;p&gt;Instead of playing Bastion, I’m building a weird G/U control, featuring Deadeye Navigator. Any ideas?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DO NOT&lt;/strong&gt; buy the magic deck makers tool kit, I’ve seen a couple people do it and I feel awful because you’re getting robbed.  If you’re looking to make a decent deck you can actually do well in a tournament buy an event deck and add onto it with other good cards.  It bugs me that Wizards, in my opinion, takes advantage of new players by selling them a box of shit because they don’t know any better.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Looking out for my magic brothers and sisters,&lt;br/&gt;Showtime &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think that&amp;#8217;s unfair, the deck makers toolkit is, I think, exactly what it&amp;#8217;s advertised as, a whole lot of cards that would make the meat of at least a few different decks. I don&amp;#8217;t know when/how you learned magic but when I learned I wasn&amp;#8217;t interested in Tournaments, I was more interested in actually LEARNING the game. My first few decks were all simple and straight forward (Blue Counters and Bounce, Green Ramp, Red Burn) but they taught me the game really well. There&amp;#8217;s something I see a lot which is new players getting into tournament formats really early which to me is silly. If someone I knew wanted to learn how to play magic I&amp;#8217;d recommend they find a friend each one of the friends get the toolkit and pool the cards together to each make a deck or two and play them against each other. From there they can see about other precons or just boosters/draft. It&amp;#8217;s more or less the way I learned how to play.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://gatheringofmagic.tumblr.com/post/23934300911</link><guid>http://gatheringofmagic.tumblr.com/post/23934300911</guid><pubDate>Mon, 28 May 2012 12:20:57 -0400</pubDate><category>mtg</category><category>magic</category><category>magic the gathering</category></item><item><title>Stole the idea from someone on tumblr, favorite general gets the...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3xi46lPb81qgi9tdo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Stole the idea from someone on tumblr, favorite general gets the star treatment.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://gatheringofmagic.tumblr.com/post/22925982937</link><guid>http://gatheringofmagic.tumblr.com/post/22925982937</guid><pubDate>Sat, 12 May 2012 17:24:06 -0400</pubDate><category>magic</category><category>mtg</category><category>magic the gathering</category><category>EDH</category></item><item><title>Attn: Cockatrice Users</title><description>&lt;p&gt;I really want to try and play Momir Vig (The format based of his MTGO Vanguard Avatar thing) I&amp;#8217;ve found a pretty easy way to make it work, if anyone is interested look up the format and let me know!&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://gatheringofmagic.tumblr.com/post/22863530156</link><guid>http://gatheringofmagic.tumblr.com/post/22863530156</guid><pubDate>Fri, 11 May 2012 18:38:36 -0400</pubDate><category>MTG</category><category>magic the gathering</category><category>Momir Vig</category><category>EDH</category><category>Wizards</category><category>WOTC</category><category>Magic</category></item></channel></rss>
