Got an idea for content or some other comment? Post it on my wall!

I create written and other content for Tappedout and I like to coordinate and help others to do the same. I am a fairly old-school Magic veteran who's been playing since Revised hit the scene, with a few breaks now and then (Basically I missed anything involving the Weatherlight). I love janky decks with bizarre and unusual win conditions, and I love playing control; I am blue through and through. My long history in the game has left me with a huge duffel bag full of four or five dozen decks. I don't play competitively very often, but when I do, it's standard and limited.

I'm on Magic Online as IdealistCynic, which is also my Xbox Live gamertag, and I do have Duels of the Planeswalkers, all versions, and would be happy to hit you up on Live or on Steam. (I even have Duels of the Planeswalkers, the old PC game that no one remembers).

Also, the top 10 best counterspell flavor texts:

10- "With one commanding word, the spell was put down and a fine collected for its casting."-Overrule, Dissension

9- "My ruling is final. Order is upheld. Justice is done."-Fall of the Gavel, Return to Ravnica

8- "Your attack has been rendered harmless. It is, however, quite pretty."-Counterspell, Mercadian Masques

7- "Someday, someone will best me. But it won't be today, and it won't be you."-Last Word, Darksteel

6- "Well, at least all of that arm-waving and arcane babbling you did was impressive."-Remand, Ravnica

5- "The first time was amusing, but now you're getting tiresome."-Laquatus' Disdain, Judgment

4- "The pyromancer summoned up her mightiest onslaught of fire and rage. Jace feigned interest." -Counterspell, Jace v. Chandra

3- "Pathetic. Let me show you how it's done." -Counterlash, Dark Ascension

2- "Amateurish. Nearsighted. A waste of my time and everyone else's."-Punish Ignorance, Shards of Alara

1- None. It just says "Counter target spell." It's beautiful. -Counterspell, 4th Edition

Thank you for the crash course.

I will proceed to the challenge tomorrow.

I don't have access to the Article editor though, is that something that would be made accessible to me once I have typed up the article, or is there some other process to go through?

Thank you for your help.

Thanks, I will be sure to do so.

Do you have like a crash course of formatting for articles? Is it possible to make bigger spaces between paragraphs, than just dual "enter" ones? Also, what program do you use to write articles in?

Hey Caley

I am currently in the process of starting up a Guild Deck Challenge, and I was interested in perhaps being able to post it as articles (at least for the type ups of the matches). I am also currently asking the community for help on the rules and settings of the tournament.

Do you think something like that would be possible, in favour of posting it on the forums, which tend to get swamped away?

Also any of your insights on the format/tournament/execution of the whole ordeal, would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance.

ok i understand it is gong to be mostly randlomly assigned... but since you are doing some at least by assignment possibly for eu and etc... would it be possible for me to grab just 1 person for my team? SupremeAlliesCommander would be my choice and he wants to be on my team too! 1 person can't be all the unbalancing right? right???

June 15, 2013 10:56 p.m.

Is it too early for me to start tying to recruit people to my team for the next DDD? you know in case i actually get chosen or just want some solid people to pair up with?

I've seen you post a the full deck "box" like what appears on your profile/the main page. Is there a special syntax that does that? For example [ [deck:domris-bloodrush-buddies] ] only gives me Domri's Bloodrush Buddies.

Hey KrazyCaley! I've been playing magic for about a year now, and I've almost finished putting together a sweet Selesnya tokens deck. It would be awesome if you could leave a critique and some suggestions! The Green(/White) Lantern (Suggestions Welcome)

June 11, 2013 7:12 p.m.

Sounds good. Thank you for checking it out so quickly!

And it's my pleasure! The T/O community has helped me expand my knowledge of Magic, and writing the articles is my way of giving back (and also keeps me occupied for an hour or two each week).

June 9, 2013 11:43 p.m.

Alright, thank you! There isn't much importance in this since I have my number, but just thought I'd let you know.

June 9, 2013 11:11 p.m.

Quick thing. When I go to search for my username in the admin panel as the author of an article, I get a "403 Forbidden." It's not a problem because you told me my number, but just thought that I'd let you know.

June 9, 2013 10:39 a.m.

Thanks for the quick response! I might hold off on 2 per week, just so I can take notice on how long it takes the popularity of the article to drop off. I plan to only have one up on the homepage, so I'll try to maximize my schedule with that in mind.

In fact, I still want the Apprentice's Workshop's to be on Death by numbers.

Until then, if you have a little time, it would be appreciate if you could take a look at my U-mill-iating - Cipher version.

Sorry about the confusion, it's for U-mill-iating - Cipher version, that I would like some input from you.

Thank you

Hi Caley,

How things are going for you ? I just wanted to know if the Apprentice's Workshop's list is still up to date ? From what you said in your Episode 14, there should be: GureiSeion, Cobthecobbler, wreckedd then it will be me with Death by numbers on Episode 22.

Until then, do you have 2 minutes to look at my last deck. I am trying to make a competitive deck out of two uncompetitive mechanism; milling and cipher. I feel like it's not possible, but I am that way. "Near-impossible-to-build-decks" attracts me like a magnet. Well I'm having a lot of fun making tests after tests with this concept and when it wins, it is like crazy, but it lack consistency and it have to many hard counters. Anyway, almost everything is write on the page so if you have 2 minutes. Please let me know what you think. Else, I will just wait for my turn at your Apprentice's Workshop. (U-mill-iating - Cipher version)

Until then, thank you for those great articles that I often read and take care : )

Quick question. The BFYB series seems to be grabbing a good amount of attention, and I'm going to try to start writing two articles per week. One will go up on Monday and another on Thursday. With a couple people helping me with the articles, I think two will be manageable.

First, is this good spacing?

Second (sorry, two questions I guess), should I leave both up at a time and replace the Monday article with the next Monday article, or should I replace the Monday article with the Tuesday article? Hope that makes sense... By "replace" I mean remove from the home page. Thanks!

I was wondering if, perhaps, you might be able to take a quick look at a deck, Varolz Wishes for Jund, that I'm putting together. I was hoping to get more feedback from other players before I buy or trade for anything yet.

At first I was like "You know what would be awesome for standard? FIVE COLOR DOOR TO NOTHINGNESS!" But then I remembered that Door was in M13 and probably wouldn't be reprinted either. So I came up with my OTHER idea.

@pthomas625 - Indeed, if there were a creature in this deck, AEtherling would be the one. But suspending changes for now until I see all the M14 spoilers.

June 19, 2013 1:57 p.m.

Gruul Aggro based primarily on Burning-Tree Emissary , Stromkirk Noble , Lightning Mauler , and Hellrider is the fastest and best aggro deck in my not inconsiderable experience.

June 19, 2013 8:41 a.m.

@RussischerZar - Probably would have been a better idea. I'll just stick with the original plan, having come this far with it.

Atmosphere is really king. Check out interior pictures of Pasadena's Game Empire - it's spacious, clean, plenty of tables, place is buzzing with players, they have AWESOME wall art, etc.
