 New additions from Oath of the Gatewatch:

Crush of Tentacles: This is another return all nonland permanents to their owner's hands type of card, but this spell has Surge on it that allows you to pay one less colorless mana to cast it if you have already cast a spell this turn, and then you drop a 8/8 blue Octopus onto the battlefield. I am looking forward to resetting the board and then throwing a sea monster onto it.

Deepfathom Skulker: This Eldrazi monster is a 6 casting 4/4 which is not the greatest, but it has the ability that whenever a creature you control does combat damage to a player, you may draw a card. This little number can just sit on the battlefield and grant you extra card drawing power. Not to mention the other ability of 3 generic and one colorless to make target creature unblockable until end of turn. With the random utility lands and some of the fetch lands like the Panoramas, the colorless should not be too hard to find.

Sea Gate Wreckage: This land adds colorless to your mana pool, and for 2 generic and 1 colorless, you can draw a card if you have no card in your hand. Again, the colorless will not be too hard to find. I like the extra card drawing power, and I think the card is seeing play in 60 card deck constructed so I feel like it had potential in my deck as well.



I am looking forward to using these card in the future. For now, I will be looking ahead to the upcoming sets to see what sea monsters they have in store for me.

Please, let me know what you think of my sea monster deck and anything else you want to tell me. I like reading other people's thoughts.

Thank you,
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!
