Phil Writes About Cube: Blue Cards in Shadows over Innistrad for Peasant Cube

By -
With Shadows over Innistrad fully spoiled, I thought it would be a good time to look at the different cards that I might want to add to my Peasant Cube. For reference my cube can be found here: Cubetutor Link

Let's go right into Blue cards this time.

Essence Flux
Essence Flux is another card in the line of exile target creature, then return it to the battlefield. The difference here is that it is a 1 mana blue instance that only gives the creature a +1/+1 if it is a Spirit. I like this card as a way to dodge removal spells as well as reuse enter the battlefield effects. This card might not make it in the long run, but I want to test it out.

Just the Wind
Just the Wind is another Unsummon variant with Madness. With me trying to push graveyard in my cube, this card should fit in with all the cards that let you discard. U/G Madness type desks will really like this card. I am super excited to test this card out.

 Rise from the Tides
I want to try Rise from the Tides out as a finisher for U/x Control decks. I like the idea of maybe putting out 6-10 2/2 Zombies out on the battlefield after stabilizing the board. Again, with the graveyard theme being pushed, this card might be an actual competitor. The future of this card is uncertain, but it is defiantly a card I am keeping my eye on.

 Stitched Mangler
Stitched Mangler is another Frost Lynx with minor differences. I think this card easily makes its way into cube since Frost Lynx has been proven to me that it belongs in my cube. The ability to stall out your opponent's creature one turn is valuable, but the lack of ability to block on your opponent's turn after it comes down might make it less favorable. I like this card a lot, but we will have to see.

 Trail of Evidence
Trail of Evidence is another card I want to try out for U/x Control decks. The ability to cast instant and sorcery spells and fuel drawing extra cards feels very powerful. I imagine casting Ponder, Preordain, or Brainstorm at end of turn, plopping down a token, uptapping, and then drawing an extra card. Also, casting a Lightning Bolt or something with this out feels powerful, too. I hope this card works out.

Next time, we continue through the colors of Shadows over Innistrad!

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 wri

#Blessed

By Anonymous -
#blessed There are certain things that are blessings. A new baby in the family, a sick loved one feeling better, or even going out to lunch with a friend you haven't seen in a while. But a pair of new shoes when you already have a ton is not a blessing. A new kitchen table or a new TV is not a blessing. Growing up in a church I honestly rarely heard the words “blessing” or “blessed”. When someone says they are “blessed they are basically saying “God is shinning down on me to get this material thing and I'm going to post on Facebook about it.” Instead what they should be saying is “I'm so thankful to have this new TV” or “I am proud of myself for working hard and saving up for my new TV.” I was scrolling down my news feed and saw that a girl who competed in a vocal competition, got a very high rating. She posted “I'm very blessed to have revived a high rate at the competition this past weekend.” No. That's not a blessing. Maybe she could have said she was blesse

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!
