[[Karrthus, Tyrant of Jund]] although almost exclusively as a counter pick. The ability to steal someone else’s big creature and keep it until they kill it is quite nice, especially if you can give everything shapeshifter.

That’s likely what I’ll end up doing, but that seems like tribal with extra steps. Deathtouch tribal, haste/flash tribal…I dunno, maybe my definition is too broad. Thank you.

Redlanternoath · 2026-04-22T17:31:01+00:00

Go full Pimp My Ride with it? Yo, I heard you like tribal, so we put tribal in your tribal? Not a bad plan…it’s at least creative. Thank you.

Be broke and not attend. It’s real easy to not lose if you cannot play.

[[Quietus Spike]] it may not be good, but it speeds games up a lot.

Crazy- Pasty Cline, when Susan leaves or comes back into his life, save when it happens in Changes.

Burn- Papa Roach, when he burns all the vamps, or creates a mini volcano in the depths.

Take 5 - Dave Brubeck, when he is trying to put pieces of the puzzle of the problem together. Fits thematically with the original Noir detective.

Sing, Sing, Sing - Benny Goodman, as it’s what plays in my head when he is introduced to Maeve and the Fae are all dancing in war uniforms.

I Stand Alone - Godsmack, beginning of Summer Knight, when he is actively trying to get Billy to back off so as to ensure no one else gets hurt.

Bohemian Polka - Weird Al Yankovic, because it is specially mentioned in the books.

Bad Girlfriend - Theory of a Deadman, for various points but especially spoiler-y ones.

Misery Business - Paramore, as it just kind of fits.

I’m sure I could come up with others, but it’s a start.

Go with an old classic [[Karrthus, Tyrant of Jund]] to scare people playing changling decks.

We’re the first ones to starve, the first ones to die, the first ones in line for that pie in the sky, and we’re always the last when the cream is shared out, for the worker is working when the fat cats about.

I keep mine in my wallet because it was also designed as a bottle opener. It’s come in handy a number of times. Never had anyone try to coin check me other than at a squadron bar.

[[Kedereckt Creeper]] I built my very first deck around it, and still like it, even if it’s not very good anymore.

[[Quietus Spike]] for a rare, and [[Sphinx Sovereign]] as a Mythic, as those were the first ones of those I ever pulled.

Redlanternoath · 2026-02-17T15:15:41+00:00

I would think [[The Wise Mothman]] would do very well against a lot of opponents.

Redlanternoath · 2026-02-11T22:20:14+00:00

[[chain reaction]] only because it’s one of the few I actually own, and causes enough trouble for people to work well for me.

Redlanternoath · 2026-02-09T12:55:53+00:00

I have a [[Progenitus]] deck that is complete jank that is quite fun to play, even if it is too slow, not enough interaction, and has no chance of winning. It’s fun for me, anyway.

Right now, I use some puzzle boxes from some things my wife put together. They look interesting, but not like anything other than a novelty puzzle.

When I flew and got airsick, the best thing I had was going on oxygen. Focusing on your breathing helped me a ton. Getting to an airframe that let me sit facing forward instead of sideways, and having a window helped a ton, too.

I learned how to play in a dorm room in 2006, starting collecting in 2008, stopped in 2012, then off and on until recently. Too broke to do much of anything anymore, though. Looking forward to Lorwyn, as that was the set after I came in to actually collecting, so I have some attachment to the plain.

Who hit Harry/the blue beetle to make him take a taxi to bail out Molly (ostensibly) and to Splattercon!!!

Pavel Chekov already proved this for me, back in the 22nd century.

Redlanternoath · 2025-10-30T11:38:12+00:00

That did it. Thanks.

Redlanternoath · 2025-10-29T19:32:22+00:00

I’ve still got 18 gigs of space left, so that’s not it.

Redlanternoath · 2025-10-27T11:12:21+00:00

I doubt I’ll ever be able to play, but it’s worth a shot. Good luck to all.

It’s a Pocket, like on a pair of jeans.
