Look what sleeping gets you...

I'll try it. by Hardric on 2016-06-06 16:14:00 UTC Reply

Thanks for the advice. I looked more bits about the movies too, and must admit I like Sunset Shimmer. (in the second and third movies bits.)

What Magic cards are we talking about, though? Kamigawa blocks (I liked the samurai)? Red/black Innistrad (Vampires who aren't disco-balls rule.)?

I just hate playing with my brother because he has a Green elf deck centered around THIS. I play a Red/White deck involving a lot of angels and dragons, so I don't really have a way to counter it. He wins every stinkin' time.

So I agreed that I would play against him (and get my butt repeatedly whooped) in exchange for one episode of Ponies for every two MTG games. It worked out pretty well in the end.

One of my brother had many green decks. Monsters, swarms, poison, white/green knights... He lost them all though, these decks all dissolved in the rest of the cards me and another of my brothers had found in garage sales. All of them were a pain to play against. Only thing worst is a deck with goblins with enough material. (said other brother.)

Did he still tried this 'racket' after the fifth episode?

Not quite. :P by Iximaz on 2016-06-06 16:56:00 UTC Reply

"Heeeey... I was wondering if we could play some Magic games, since, you know, you'll play with me if I watch MLP after... and we can watch MLP after because that's part of the deal..."

*slow smirk* "You want to watch Ponies, don't you?"

"No! No, I just want to play Magic!"

"ADMIT IT! YOU LIKE PONIES!"

"DO NOT!"

"DO TOO! WHICH ONE'S YOUR FAVORITE?"

"PINKIE PIE, OKAY?!"

And so he became a brony. :P

Friendship is Magic, after all. (The opening is nice, but I do prefer the remix used for EQ, personally.)

Dang, I missed a lot!

So, first, Iximaz, I can't decide whether to thank you for steering me to such a sweet, lighthearted Nuzlocke run where the author's almost to Clair and only had one death, or send my Evil Ice Cream Lady after you because (spoilers) WHY, MARBLE, WHY???!!!! That... it was just... MARBLE!!!

Secondly, wait, there are actually people here who play MTG too? Where has this place been all my life? (The answer: Right here, but I wasn't exactly the type to go running around the internet when I still had a current MTG deck.)

Finally, okay, I'm convinced. I'll watch a few episodes, might be fun. Know where those uneducated in the mystical ways of the Internets might find the show?

Here is the site I found. by Hardric on 2016-06-07 06:12:00 UTC Reply

They even have got the movies. The only catch is the presence of French sub-titles.

It appears that they can be deactivated. by Granz the Ice Cream Monarch on 2016-06-07 06:27:00 UTC Reply

So, I'll just have a look see and find out if this is entertaining.
