Legacy and Modern: Mono Red Blitz

By -


For the past year or so, I have not really gone to any tournaments, but I still have to have a deck handy in case I ever decide to go to one. I also wanted a deck that is legal in the big non-rotating formats like Modern and Legacy. I started putting together my favorite old Standard deck back together with some modifications.

Since I don't plan on using this deck too much, I just want to use cards I already have and cheap cards. We'll see what happens to this deck over time, but for right now, I have this:

Lands: 17
3x Bloodstained Mire
14x Mountain

Creatures: 30
4x Rakdos Cackler                     4x Reckless Waif
4x Stromkirk Noble                    1x Legion Loyalist
4x Burning-Tree Emissary         4x Lightning Mauler
3x Borderland Marauder            3x Mardu Scout
1x Ire Shaman                            2x Pyreheart Wolf

Other Spells: 13
4x Lightning Bolt                       2x Rubblebelt Maaka
4x Madcap Skills                        3x Hammerhand

Sideboard: 15
1x Goblin Kaboomist                  3x Smelt
2x Searing Blood                         2x Mogis's Warhound
4x Curse of the Pierced Heart     1x Nightbird's Clutches
2x Rubblebelt Maaka


I'm always trying to cut my mana costs down as much as I can and cut as many lands as I can, too. Topping off with two three costing creatures is a lot lower than most decks go, but I want to try to trim that down even more. I like where this deck is for now, though.

In future posts, I want to report some changes I am going to make and also explain some of my choices.

Thank you for reading,
Philip

What to expect at a RunDisney Princess Half Marathon

By Anonymous -

Our first Disney run was this past February 2015, and we were in no way properly prepared so here is what to expect.  RunDisney Expo:   The expo was a little overwhelming but definitely worth it. There is a lot to look at and free items, so take your time! We were too excited and wanted to get into the parks as soon as we could, but my next race we will be there longer. They had everything from a runners pouch for your phone, keys, etc.to the RunDisney signature shoes!   Before the Expo you go to pick up your race bib , t shirt, and a small bag of goodies. BE WARNED! If you are going with a male, the t shirts may be a not so manly color, and he might be upset. But you'll understand because he is doing a princess themed race with you.    Morning of the race: STRETCH! I bet your saying "Duh, you are doing a half marathon" but seriously stretch every little bit of your beautiful body. If your thinking "I don't need to stretch my wr...

Phil Writes About Sims 3: Forensic Specialist: Dynamic DNA Profiler

Here  is a link to the list of all Lifetime Wishes For this Lifetime wish, a sim needs to gets to level ten of the Police career path (Forensics Branch). Carl Smith decided to set out on this journey. Once he got a job at the Police Station, he set off on a quest to get in shape. Working out in front of an old TV can only get you so far, though.  After working this way up the ranks, Carl found he needed more skills like painting, logic, and writing reports. He managed to scrap enough funds together to purchase an easel. This led to selling painting to buy a chessboard and a computer.  Years of grinding away at these skills finally resulted in Carl reaching his goal of Dynamic DNA Profiler!
