Yup, just went to the card shop today and was feeling saucy. Going to be trading for my 4th workshop on the next day or two.

Anybody have a deck that runs ancestral, ruby, 4 shop, 4 drains?

Ya, back off, im bragging, but let me.

Congrats. Drain/Shop Slaver. Yeah, use them both. Make it work and I'll give you $1. :rolleyes:

Lyle H - August 30, 2005 12:26 AM (GMT)
:lol: :lol:

Ill build some horrible casual creation. Jeez, after I finish power, and pick up Zaars, I will *GASP* have to find something else to blow cash on. I have pretty much every Legacy staple I want, or enough to trade for what I need at that time. I just hope I can finish the power by Origins next year. Shouldnt be too hard if I get lots of overtime like lately.

*edit* BTW, the Ruby is insanely beautiful, VERY fresh. The ancestral is about as good as it gets without paying out the arse.

Have Transmutes? You can make some wierd-ass version of TransmuteStaxDrain.dec or something...

The overall value of ABS has gone up.

Build the ABS Shop deck, it doesn't need power. Then use your drains and power for Control Slaver or [doug] Gifts [/doug].

I want to see mana drain and workshop restricted :-P jk. Congrats on the new toys. I'd recomend making a drain deck and a shop deck, since they don't really work in tandem.

sell your drains and buy 2 moxen.
because we both know shop > drains. :ph43r:

If the Drains had a rumble with the Shops, the Drains would totally knife the Shops with their wicked shivs.

You should come to Detroit and play for a SIGNED NM ruby :rolleyes:

However its type 2 but if you made the trip i'd give you a good deck to play with.

That goes for all you other Type 1 junkies here. We have like a TON of type 2 cards, so no deck is out of the question except rats and RDW.

Lyle H - August 30, 2005 10:57 AM (GMT)
I don't like signed cards anymore. It annoys me, unless I am the one that got the power signed, I dont want it. And I wouldnt do thatt, because it drops the value IMO.

Good job Lyle H, have fun with your jewelry :)

Lyle H - August 30, 2005 09:31 PM (GMT)
Thanks, I realyl only wanted to get 4 drains andd 4 shops, so I could play at ten proxy stuff, but man, power is addictive.

Oh jeez I cant wait to play fully powered pirates.

I tried workshops and bazaars and transmutes once. Dropped the shops for ancient tombs, and then scratched the idea.

Then Nyphe and I came up with a Drain/Shop deck. It was ok. 5tinker ruled out after a while. Because, really, you just don't need that much mana, and drains without force of will is dumb.

Dza76Wutang - August 31, 2005 12:35 AM (GMT)
transmute is psueo-tinker right?

Lyle, I assume you have duals...in that case you can probably play any 10 proxy deck you want (I always end up burning some proxies on duals :-/)

If you need to blow cash play T2 and keep up to date, that should blow cash for you enough.

Buy a whore. Its the only way guys like us (by which I mean you) will ever get laid. Trust me.

But seriously. If you want to blow some cash, give it to me and Ill do your homework for a day (how old are you?). Yeah, I'm poor :tim:

You are now, and will ever continue to be, wrong on this subject, and most others. Given your name I suppose I should not be surprised.

Congratz . . . power is SOOOOOO sexy. If only I were cardboard . . .

on topic: It seems to me that the general consensus is that if you have the money, you should buy the shops, duals and drains first, then proxy the power at tournys then win the power. But power is sooooo sexy. I bought a lotus, ox ruby and a recall and I would abs. never regret it. Period.

Hi-Val - September 1, 2005 08:10 PM (GMT)
I'm selling my Lotus. If anyone is interested, drop me a PM.

Lyle H - September 1, 2005 08:15 PM (GMT)
If it werent signed, I would buy it. Someone should though.

Technically, tinker is neo (and improved) transmute.
