Serial Killer Round 33! Under New, but not at all different, management! All wrapped up

[Fragrance of Mtn Dew]

@CA Well, that's probably just because I play a lot and read up on all the different strategies and all that. I don't even like to play those kinds of combos since you pretty much just spend the whole game digging for your combo pieces. I much prefer synergies to combos as those kinds of strategies can still work even if you don't all the cards you need to do everything you want to.

Which is why I'm rather excited about this Heartless Summoning deck I'm brewing. Yes, Heartless Summoning may seem to make my little dudes useless, but the way I have it set up now, anything with a toughness of one will have an ability that triggers when it dies or enters the battlefield. Such as Perilous Myr, which becomes a free shock with Heartless Summoning out. Pair those two with Glissa the Traitor and you can kill everything on your opponents side of the field with a toughness of two or less. And of course, each of those cards are just fine on their own, so I'm not dead in the water until I draw the three. And that's not even the main focus of the deck, just a neat little side interaction. Yea, it has a drawback, but with a little ingenuity you can easily turn that to your advantage. Of course, I could be totally wrong, but my testing so far has been pretty good.

@Fragrance: I play a fair bit too... I used to go in weekly, but I laid off for a while until the Innistrad pre-release. I have six decks at present, though three haven't been tested and two could probably use work. My mono-white and mono-black decks score a fair few wins, though I'm gonna change up a few things about both now that I have some Innistrad cards. And of course, there's my black/red which I've held on to for a while; it wins occasionally.

But, um, not to sound like a complete and utter noob - which I assure you I'm not - I don't even know what you mean by 'synergies'.

*gets to work on tweaking mono-white and mono-black*

Edit: Hmm. Made a few changes to my black deck to incorporate the Innistrad rares and goodies I picked up. I'm starting to think that some of the cards in here aren't that great. If you want, Fragrance, I could list it here for you.

@CA: Yeah, that little person is meant to be me. =P

@Skye: Thanks!

@WarP: Fair enough, there are a lot of weird things on the internet o.o

@Steak: After seeing Grandpa's reaction, I believe I will choose to remain blissfully in the dark about all of what ever you're talking about.

@Ca/Fragrance: I have a vague idea on what you're talking about, but again, Bliss in the dark. I spend an awful lot of time in the dark lately...

 

[Fragrance of Mtn Dew]

@CA Basically, synergies are just when two or more cards work well together. Like Sun Titan plus Phantasmal Image. Or any card with CMC of 3 or less. Or the Glissa/Heartless Summoning/Perilous Myr thing I was talking about earlier. I wouldn't call that one a combo really since it doesn't let you go infinite and depends on your opponents side of the board to anything really cool though.

Sure, I'd like to take a look at it. If you want, I'll put my list up too.

@Neo *Turns the lights on* LET THERE BE LIGHT!!!

 

[NeoAC]

@Fragrance: No! The dark is my friend! It brings me snacks!

 

[Fragrance of Mtn Dew]

@Neo Snacks you say.... Hmmmmm. *Turns off the lights* LET THERE BE DARKNESS!!!!!!

@Steak: Ah, I was wondering where my ex-girlfriend got off to.

Now it's all starting to make sense. >.>

@Jak: Bahahaha. I regret nothing.

 

[Link_to_Future]

@Zero: You're going to regret giving me meese related nightmares.

Trust me...we have a penchant for creativity in our retribution. And I'm nothing if not creative.

@Steak: If you want Neo to start reading, you've gotta give him something light... like <link=http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-136>SCP-136

 

[SkyeNeko]

@Schizzy: moar! and better ones.

 

[Zero_ctrl]

@Link: Challenge accepted

 

[Fragrance of Mtn Dew]

@CA Ah, yeah Zendikar had some good black stuff in it. Ob Nixilus, Vampire Nighthawk, Mind Sludge... Lashwrithe is sick in mono black, especially hooked up to a vault skirge. Not sure how I feel about Grimoire of the Dead right now. I think the best use would be to drop big expensive dudes in the graveyard to reanimate, but your biggest dude costs 5. It just seems like a lot of trouble to go to to cheat a Sengir Vampire into play.

On the topic of Magic, I know you decided on the Mass Effect RP but does that mean you're abandoning the other two ideas altogether or will the MTG RP possibly show up at a later time? Just out of curiosity.

 

[Schizzy]

@Skye: You're... odd. But since you asked so nicely:
? <link=http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-004>SCP-004... the first SCP that scarred my mind , and
? <link=http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-145>SCP-145... this one lingers. I still remember it after 2 years.

@Zero: *Smacks Zero over the head* No accepting challenges until you clean your room!

 

[SkyeNeko]

@Schizzy: 004> ._.
145> MOAR

have you read all of them?

 

[Schizzy]

@Skye: Not familiar with the emoticon. Is that horror, apathetic or disappointed?

And no, I haven't read them all... I've read about 200 entries, but that was a while back. Back to reading them recently.

Some SCPs are cross referenced, and it irks me that I can't remember what SCP is what, so I'm starting from the top again

<link=http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-015>SCP-015 bugs me
<link=http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-701>SCP-701 makes me want to see it AND not see it
