Monday Night Magic #256 – Little Debbie’s Dark Secret

Wait – who has the Tumblr? A good show this week, but I would have preferred a different show title (for some reason I’m starting to care about the names…)

I’m not even going to enter this new contest as FTV – Beards is still too awesome to compete against, and I don’t have the patients to try and find all the oozes and make a great VS deck with them. And com’n, BEARDS are gonna win anyway!

Epsleth? Is that like Elspeth, but with an ultimate ability: “You get an emblem with “your can read”.”?

Oh man, I’m so disappointed with you guys.

Why oh why, did you highlight the linked article in the first place, if you weren’t at least going to say the comment was racist, and shouldn’t have been made. Now all you’ve done is identified the article as ‘potentially’ racist, but then all of you said ‘I’m cool with that’.

I’m really disappointed.

Funny. I liked/appreciated sports-entertainment wrestling more once I knew it was fake. I guess I started treating it like soap-opera for folks with testosterone. I also started getting more critical with it, like when they pull of weird maneuvers that look really painful, and yet they don’t manage to seriously injure each other. I also started hating some wrestlers that just plain botch some moves. Steve Austin would still be performing now if some jerk didn’t botch a pile driver on him. Instead of falling on his knees he actually dropped austin on his head. To steve’s credit, he still acted right through that neck injury.

Another outstanding podcast. I love the off-topic banter…I can’t think about Magic (or anything) 100% of the time without cerebral hemorrhaging. Medical Stories and Punked DCI Judges keep the Scanners away.

The Ooze combo works, like this… Phyrexian Devourer AND Triskelion. Put counters on the Ooze by exiling top cards, and then take them off with Triskelion’s ability in order to do damage – and repeat it until they’re dead. You don’t even need to worry about the power greater than seven clause since any time you’d need to exile something that would take the ooze over this number you can just activate again while it still is on the stack.

You guys were making fun of the ooze combos for requiring so many pieces, but keep in mind that only the ooze needs to be in play. You can really just think of them as two card combos — Ooze plus Buried Alive to put the combo pieces into the graveyard.
