I don't wonder now, but it's huge downfall for me that brought me to tears. I might've been provocative, but I didn't expect such a backwave of negative feedback. I'm sorry. I guess, I'm not with friends. I won't be posting anytime soon.

Yeah I'm not entirely sure what you're advocating for, Chavdar. You said your government took some drastic measures and beat SARS-CoV-2 that way. Shouldn't other countries follow suit and do the same, i.e. take drastic measures?

Well it's too late for this, in my honest opinion. The virus has spread very fast. Should have but it's too late.

I'm not sure if I'm that lucky. Really. With my bouts of epileptic seizures, returning this year, I'm really not that sure.

I was ironic, but in my opinion, yes, I do agree that the safety measures probably work for countries with higly infected population. Here, in Bulgaria, we took precautions and preventive measures that saved lives.

Also, judging by the death toll, I think the parasite does infect and kill mostly the elderly people. So, I still think it has to die by itself. I'm not advocating anything. Me and my girlfriend both got sick around March and recovered from covid influenza around May. The tonne of the article just wasn't for my liking, but I guess it's good for preventive measures.

Does everyone gave me downvotes? Giving downvotes on posts is shite. It should be separated from ones on decks. Fantastic system but 10 downvotes on my worst nightmares this evening brought me to tears.

I don't want to enter big flaming discussions, but as someone who has gotten sick from covid, and personally recovered, by such a responsible person and respectable moderator as Morganator, I find this post, hypochondriac, nasty and absolutely uncooperative to say in the least. Bulgarian Government took preventive measures immediately in March, it took me some time to recover, but it's entirely USA's fault as many other countries' fault to be honest for high or perceived high death toll. Bulgaria has 10 thousand cases the entire pandemic. As, someone who had been sick from covid and personally recovered, really it doesn't work for me. Our economy and society is slowly getting better and normalised, but wear if you want condoms on your heads, Prime Minister Boyko Borisov said it's entirely Western Europe and USA fault for not responding earlier and bringing drastic measures the way Bulgaria did. China is different story due to the immensely bigger population, in fact biggest in the whole World with India, and there it's virtually impossible to prevent the spread of the pandemic. Probably it has to lay down by itself, but in the meantime in Bulgaria we are having nice holiday time and I took off condoms and bikini from my head around April after I recovered from the covid. I still put in shops but I'm not sure if I'd like to measles myself and cook myself in the oven as Jerry did it to Tom. Sorry, Morganator, as recovered person from covid influenza, your nasty rant is just not working for me. Otherwise, you are fantastic fellow and I love your work and the system you created. I'll probably get downvotes, but couldn't resist it.

Chavdar

General Magic / Re: Zendikar Rising in a month and a half...what do we want?

I don't know. Really. I expect some Tribal support as usual. Some cool new sphinxes? Another lord for griffins? It's just a speculation. We'll have to wait for the initial spoilers but the returning landfall mechanic is not the utmost importance for me. I'm not that much into fetch lands, my casual Modern Tribal combinations aren't so much demanding for expensive lands. My only concern and hope is even for a lord for the wurms. OK, I really appreciate something like "Other... get +1/+1" or another Crucible of Fire 🔥 for the Dragons or even upgraded Sunrise Sovereign, but it's not Lorwyn, although there might be reprints and other cool new stuff for whoever Tribal player like me is that much into the mechanics. You can see my decks, I am so thankful for the support and likes I've amassed, but it's my only drive that gives me joy. 39 decks into it and 8 years after I basically started, I'm all for great lords. Glad the Eldrazis are out, as the Trons just bus me up on 4th turn at FNMs. They are one of the strongest combinations and I rarely stand a chance against so high budgetary decks. Bring up the Lords. Bring good Krakens, Leviathans, Octopuses and Serpents for release! Kidding! Regards to all!

Commander Discussion / Re: Cutting down your collection & decks

« on: July 29, 2020, 09:01:45 pm »

Master Moderator? Same: I have 39 decks, I'm Tribal player, as you probably know, and I had enormous amount of cards I didn't use, so I put an advertisement on a Bulgarian website (OLX.bg) and for roughly 50€, sold them to a friendly man. I literally don't have any other cards beside what I own as decks. There are 39, close to 40 decks, but due to an apartment renovation, I was getting fed up with such a bulk of unwanted commons and uncommons. There were few more expensive ones, but I was unwilling to keep literally a hard disk box with so many bulky cards. I expect to receive more from a friend of mine, but it'll happen around September as I'm on vacation at the Bulgarian Black Sea seaside during the apartment renovation. I plan and have MCM buy list, but future and probably last order for the year will happen around Zendikar Rising, which's actually September around my return in Sofia, Bulgaria, where I live. Back to the question: you're not the only dude, Master Moderator, who's fed up with so many bulks, but I'm pretty surprised that you cut your decks. Kidding: I know Americans and Western Europeans have larger budget and more money and actually time to scramble around, but I did my best with so many casual Modern Tribality combinations. You are not the only one. All due respect to the organisers and web site developers, as Deck Stats is the best site for hosting decks. Way better than Tapped Out and the lean pot MTG Vault.

Off-Topic / Re: Any football fans?

« on: July 11, 2020, 01:46:43 pm »

I used to be goalkeeper for Levski Sofia and was trained in their youth system. For real. I had several matches for Levski, but as Bachelor of Sports in goaltending norm, I gave up active sport probably around, 2016, when I was 30. Now I'm close to 35 and I don't think I'll ever play, because of the physical toll it takes on me and because ageing standards are bellow comparison at all. Not that I won't become "old man", I probably expected more, but it's been 10 years, since I took it and I'm not young anymore. I'm moderate soccer fan, but probably my favourite sport is volleyball, not football 🏐 😝. Bulgaria sports nice team and I know several players as Tedi Salparov, Viktor Yossifov and Tsvetan Sokolov. My favourite post? Libero. I'm not that tall for Diagonal or Center blocker, but I am pretty decent receiver and defender on this sport. Anyway, regards and as Bram says: keep it casual!

An effective card that can easily put counters on itself as well as flickering creatures, imo is Soulherder. I generally play only Modern, but it can do a job in EDH decks as well. Look it up, I'd recommend it with thumbs up for its flickering and bolster effect.
Kind regards,

Sealoxus, Permanent Tide
Legendary Creature - Kraken Leviathan Lord - 4uu
Islandwalk, trample, shroud.
Krakens, Leviathans, Octopuses and Serpents gain Islandwalk and enter the battlefield with trample or shroud counter.
5/5

I second that opinion that the Ooze legend should be monocolour with probably only splashing red or black. Otherwise, I'd prefer a lord for the Sea Monsters, yet something like that: "Krakens, Leviathans, Octopuses and Serpents you control gain Islandwalk and enter the battlefield with shroud or trample counter by your choice". Meaning with Quest for Ula's Temple, players wouldn't have to cast them and put them directly at each end step. Give a wish spell to genies and effreets? Why not, but it has to be good.

Commander Discussion / Re: How many games have you gotten to play during this pandemic?

« on: July 04, 2020, 08:23:26 am »

The club has opened in the beginning of June, but between March and May, I've played not more than several times. I don't have webcam, neither I play Magic Arena, so it was pretty dull, yet it wasn't such a huge gap as here in Bulgaria we took precautions and the pandemic sickness didn't strike us as hard as it was in USA or parts of Western Europe like Spain, France and Great Britain.

Commander Deck Reviews / Re: Golos - Saga Tribal - EDH

« on: June 29, 2020, 10:36:58 am »

Wizard, that's fantastic advice, I second your opinion, proliferate speeds up sagas and I'd recommend too use the proliferate mechanics to speed up the triggers. Nothing in particular to recommend, just to second the fantastic information and advice of Wizard. I am basic EDH player, mostly in Tribal, but if you wanna use sagas? Yes, the fellows are exactly right and Atraxa and proliferate mechanics are the decision and the usefulness in doing a Saga deck.

Hello, brother. I'd recommend as a moderate EDH player, Path of Ancestry, perhaps? Really, I don't wanna spark a contraargument, but considering I own only 2 EDH decks, that are active with hopes for probably Breed Lethality, I also only play Tribal and that is for my suggestion that there aren't bad Tribal lands like unclaimed territory and the path. heraldic banner, herald's horn, adaptive automaton, dragon Arch also might be useful for you.
Kindest regards,
Chavdar
