Deck Description

It's been a while since I've uploaded anything here...I check the site just about every day looking at decks and lurking, but I haven't really felt like uploading recently. Don't worry though, I'm not going anywhere =]

This is a deck I made to keep me entertained through Khans. It's put together with stuff from a number of much better sets, and it gels pretty nicely. Most importantly, it's a blast to play.

I named it The Argus for two reasons. For one, it's possibly my favorite song by the band Ween. For another, the first time playing it was at my buddy's house and all we had for +1/+1 counters was a bag of googly eyes, so eventually all of my cards began to look like Argus the 100-eyed giant hahaha.












...But seriously Khans was a terrible set.

How to Play

Move those counters around to gain the best use out of each creature. This deck is extremely dynamic, but you need to be the one making those changes. Figure that out, and it flows beautifully.

Hey Surewhynot! I followed your decks heavily back in 2011. Welcome back! I've recently gotten back into magic and have been looking for deck ideas. Glad to see you're still around!

Hey man, nice to see you're still alive and kickin' it ^_^

Off-deck:
Since you've been here far longer than I, how do I contact the admins? (I don't know their names) They've missed FTV: 20 and it has been bugging me for some time. You see, I'm deeply romanticizing the new art for Fyndhorn Elves and would love it, if they could add that series. That, and the full-art lands from soon-to-be-old-Zendikar. The one with the colony in the tree-tops. I can't select it, maybe I'm doing something wrong?

On-deck:
Haha, you're still doing what you do best; making buttocks-kicking decks, which 'to boot' are fun like crazy ^_^ Got a sure +1 here-from

MOB-deck
I hope everything is going well for you. Here it's mezzo-a-mezzo... We got a beautiful daughter and that's awesome - she's growing at the speed of light, haha, but the past few days have been tough. Last Friday our cat, Rizzo, got put down :'-( He was very sick and have been so, for a long time
Today our French Bulldog and other feline, likewise put to rest :'-( the other cat, "Bettemis" (meaning tiny kitty in Danish) also been sick, and City Hall believed our dog was a potential risk of Sara (my daughter), so if we we're to keep baby, we had to let go of Xena, the bulldog.
This. is. a. day. of. sadness.
Now, before you pass judgment, know that each pet was very sick, and have been through Hell, to get just 2-steps-better.

I'm actually unsure if there is a direct way to contact the admins, but I can let them know about FTV: 20

I'm glad to hear Sara is doing well (beautiful name by the way), but I am so so sorry about the loss of your pets...That is a very difficult thing to do. I hope things get better for you, just keep your chin up =]

Thanks, man =)

Yeah, Sara's great. She smiles so much, so often. Like she's telling you: "Don't worry, dad. It'll be okay"

A coincidence with the name Sara; it's Arabian for 'Princess' which I didn't know. I would like to show you a picture of her, but how can I do that?

@Bl@ckfire Phoenix (best I could copy your name): Don't know you at all, so you may construe this as inappropriate...but loved the sound of your baby, & grieved about your pets. Anyone w/ so much room & heart is bound to be doing good, so I'm not worried about you at all...say "hi" to Sara, from us all. :)

Thanks, man ^_^
Our daughter is doing so well. She smiles and smiles, like nothing could ever bring her down. The loss of our pets is slowing waning. It's been tough like a mofo, but Sara brings so much joy. Today she said her first word ! And I bet mommy is proud - Sara said: "Mama"

@swn: I'm so sorry, I haven't emailed you yet - I'll see if I can get to it later tonight

Blackfire I'm so sorry about your pets, but it sounds like you're handling it well. It really is one of the hardest things to go through. Sara will keep you going though, and she sounds wonderful. :'(
:D
Great to see you here though.

Khans did give us Hardened Scales, which I think is a great 1 mana drop for evolve. Its one of the few Khans cards I play in my Animar Commander deck that if I flop that down turn one my opponents hate me more. Also works with Bioshift producing an extra counter.
