Can I be back if I was never really here?

[Yossarian]

I just randomly remembered ye old INTP days of my youth. Used to lurk and rarely post.

Fast forward 4 years. Man, I ain't found shit.


So hi I'm "back". Seems like there are more people than before, is that right?

Not sure if there's more people around, definitely less old guard. Seems the forum entered its 3rd or 4th generation by now.

Hi, if you were gone 4 years, it's like you are new to the rotation.

Great signature:

I like board games more than most people, and by that I mean I like most boardgames more than I like most people.

Any board games you like in particular?

I always thought it was interesting to have this many INTP's in one place, especially from an evolutionary standpoint. If there is anything to diversification of personality being beneficial that is.

I always had this thought of "hmm, we're not all supposed to be able to find and talk to eachother like this".


Thanks, the quote is from Homestarrunner, may it RIP. It was basically dead when I made that sig though tbh.

I play em all, or have at some point. Settlers and Agricola are both pretty awesome. I like dominion, but it's a definite downgrade from MtG, which I also play a lot of.

A fellow mtg player? Which formats?
I occasionally play modern and draft.
Settlers is a good all-round game.

No time to chat, but you seem fun. Until next time.

Lol I rocked 5color Death's Shadow (suicide aggro) at my local Modern FNM last week. I have stuff for Infect/Delver though as well.

I play really every constructed format, though my Legacy deck is the cop out Manaless Dredge (will run you a solid 150$, making it cheaper than most Standard decks). It's a good deck when the format is seeing low graveyard hate.

I'm trying to move out of Standard. Although I do love the dynamic nature of the format, the constant brewing and testing. I'm a fairly solid deckbuilder, I just have very little time to test :/

are you sure you really are back though?

 

[Yossarian]

are you sure you really are back though?

Cmon now this is the INTP forum, none of us are sure of anything.

I honestly don't know why I'm here, or why I came back. Life is in a state of flux for me atm, maybe I am trying to figure out who I am at my core, touch base with my nature/roots.

There's something comforting about eading complete strangers posts and thinking "yes yes exactly" over and over. Solidarity.

Welcome back.

Do you play Yugioh? MtG was a thing in our area during the 90's though.

 

[Yossarian]

I've never played Yugioh, though I do use the phrase "you've activated my trap card" in jest occasionally.

Also currently in mtg the card Pearl Lake Ancient is sometimes jokingly referred to as Blue Eyes White Dragon.

Can you be here if you never came back?
Probably not.
Welcome.
Again.

Cmon now this is the INTP forum, none of us are sure of anything.

that's usually true but in this instance i have decided to be sure that you really are back because your choice of user name has made me like you already.

slightly too mtg

Lol I rocked 5color Death's Shadow (suicide aggro) at my local Modern FNM last week. I have stuff for Infect/Delver though as well.

Haven't seen death's shadow, do you play phyrexian unlife or something else to make it work? Ugh, infect and tron is one of my most despised combination to face, usually my decks are weak against it. Though delver is out of favour these days, delver splash red was an easy matchup iirc.
I'm playing Lingering Souls WB tokens, Soul Sisters (Mono White Life Gain) and I'd like to make a mono black control someday (yeah need Lilianas for this one so not too soon).

I play really every constructed format, though my Legacy deck is the cop out Manaless Dredge (will run you a solid 150$, making it cheaper than most Standard decks). It's a good deck when the format is seeing low graveyard hate.

Legacy is robust, I only play around with proxies or virtual online decks, so can't say I love some of the cards.

I'm trying to move out of Standard. Although I do love the dynamic nature of the format, the constant brewing and testing. I'm a fairly solid deckbuilder, I just have very little time to test :/

Yeah, no time and spare cash (saving for a piano for a few months now), I'm eager to test decks on MWS or magic online with a friend from time to time, he's building gifts ungiven combo atm and does attend qualifiers for fun/practice with some hopes of getting through (mainly WB tokens as we share deck ideas and strategies).

 

[Yossarian]

Heh thanks. Yeah I guess it's a popular book/character with this crowd, it might be my favorite book actually. I remember people liking it before. "All this has happened before, and all of this will happen again".

Yeah 5c Death's Shadow has Unlife in the board, but in normal matchups you just try to use Temur Battle Rage and Become Immense to burst/win. This is basically the list I'm using: http://magic.tcgplayer.com/db/article.asp?ID=12376

Some decent gameplay vids that shows how explosive it is too.
