Hmmm...Moll's Blue-White Control is probably a life-gain-counter allies deck. Don't know too much about reanimator black. Clutch's Red-Blue aggro is probably counterspells, burn, and timewap, pyromancer's ascension, valakuts, fetch-lands, and reverberate/twincasts up the yin-yang. Lastly, Ashley's green beatdown is probably full of ramp: oracle of mul daya, Lonniwar elves, harrows, and explores, big beatsticks like Terrastompers ("stampies"), and acceleratns (Elvish Piper, etc.). I probably wouldn't' be too off if he was also running Rampaging Baloths with the landfall ability to spawn 4/4's, Aunt Queens, and Overruns to smash his opponents. My money, personally, is on the blue-red aggro. Aggro's my game.

Rydel and Carter, if I've just accurately predicted your character's decks, I'd like a batch of fresh-out-of-the-oven internet cookies delivered under my name. If I'm close, I'd like a few. If anything, I deserve at least one in attempting.

My deck is big red goblins. Siege-Gang commanders, Chieftains, guides, and bushies with quest for the goblin lord, dragon fodder, and goblin assaults to synergize. I round it off with burn and 20 lands.

Ahahahah, instant classic. So many funny parts - good job, guys! This comic is becoming one of my favorite parts of the Escapist!

This was definitely one of the better strips, as it had so many non-punchline jokes in it that were funny enough to deserve a comic in itself, especially that last one.

Good work!

Very occasionally I find this comic funny. This as not one of those times. It feels like the early Apocalypse Lane episodes I watched that thought gross = funny (and it's a girl being gross!!! lololololol!!!! That makes it extra funny!). Still, the makers of Apocalypse lane went on to make Doraleous and Associates so maybe this will suddenly turn into the most awesome somic strip ever made.

took me some time to get it properly, first i thought it if they where in bed together meaning Dante vs. kratos together

afterwards i thought it was Dante in Dante's inferno soo that also fucked it up a bit
but then i realized it was with them not each other and Dante as in devil may cry
(i think kratos after how he handled Aphrodite)

Wow. I read that entire comic thinking it was Divine-Comedy Dante and was like, 'are they crazy Dante went to hell for his wife, while Kratos killed his. now which do you think would be nicer?'

and now I feel like a blazing moron. Ah yes, THAT Dante. Serves me right for never picking up the series....

Magic: The Gathering? Again? You just got Awesomeness+10000.
Well, if they used most any other card game, the it would have been just boring and unrelated. If they used yu-gi-oh, then the entire comic would have been dominated by the card arguments and happenings.
So yeah, Magic kicks ass.

You just spoiled the plot twist.
This is why I don't drink and read this site anymore XD

BTW, that mental image of Ash clogging up Lady Parts reminds me of a similar situation in a webcomic called "Sexy Losers". I highly recommend it for true Brain Bleach moments.

I love that little demon flying out of her head and into his. Beautifully encapsulates what's happening!
Just to be pedantic (and disgusting) technically Kratos has probably slept with enough people across the three games that you'd think most of the loose, transferable ash down there would have, you know, already worn off... =S
A small angry army of sex-ash foetuses?

Weaveworld/Kratos/Deities?

Or is that just me thinking that?

I love these comics, they're so damn POLISHED, and sometimes I miss that.

that was fairly funny. Any particular reason for the magic cards?
I play MTG fairly regularly and Cory plays me occasionally via the terrible port that is Duels of the Planeswalkers. I figure it'd be a good setpiece for terrible terrible conversations. That and there aren't really that many comics about MTG (I can think of one, offhand) and there's a shitload of players. A good niche there.
