I knew that there would be hate coming my way as my Muldrotha EDH deck managed to eke out wins left and right. I was back at being Arch Enemy this Thursday night and it was like good old times where I would be able to thwart my friends plans of beating me. It was 4 players against an Archenemy and randomly decided Minion. In this round it was Janry who was also playing his own version of Muldrotha and with two of this graveyard abusing commander there was a lot of headaches for our opponents.

Of course the dominance would not last and being a protracted game Janry was not able to finish the game and so...

After controlling most of the game with every single play with Muldrotha...I felt like I got a double Lariat when Yo played a Raiders Wake and Jus played a Collective Defiance that left me dead. 

A freaking Double Lariat!

I

I stand here on this straight line

The one that I hope leads me to you

My hope is somehow we would intersect

I was hoping that you were standing on it too

II

Someone once told me

with all the twists and turns

sometimes the straight path 

will always lead you there

III

So I stand here on this straight line

Waiting for that time

and I know for certain

I will see your smile.

Down to 9 points and needing a way to win. This is the situation that I found myself in and I surveyed the battlefield to see if I can pull it off.

With Zuran Orb , Liliana Vess , Nissa Steward of Elements , Muldrotha and a ton of lands in play.I had  World Shaper in my graveyard.

I looked for Merciless Executioner with Lili , put it on top of my library , Casted World Shaper from the Graveyard using Muldrotha , Sacrificed lands to Zuran orb. Gained 28 life points. Then Using Nissa , Steward of elements 2nd ability to put Merciless Executioner in play.I sacrificed Worldshaper to it and got all my lands back tapped!

Janry sacrificed his remaining blocker to the Merciless executioner and Jus sacrificed Nekusar who already had a lightning greaves equipped on it. The latter almost killed me a bunch of times this turn but thanks to the life swing I was able to stave it off and break my opponents resolve.

Now I plan on changing my deck as I believe the hurting will start soon.With all the hating. Hahahahha

Dear Mga Marino,

Di niyo alam na ako ay nalulungkot tuwing kayo ang pasyente ko. Di niya ako kilala pero ang tatay ko ay naging mabuti at magaling na Kapitan ng kanyang mga sinakyang barko sa 4 na dekada.

Ngayon na nakikita ko ang mga nagsisimula pa lang na mga batang kadete at ang mga paretiro nang opisyal na napakarami nang nararamdaman nakikita ko ang tatay ko sa inyo. Ang kanyang kasipagan , ang kanyang pagkameticuloso sa pag ayos ng mga papel at gamit. Sa kanyang pagising ng maaga at madisiplina na pagdadala ng sarili sa harap ng mga tao.

Kayo na nagsisimula pa lang gusto kong sabihin na galingan ninyo , nagsimula din ang tatay ko diyan sa kinalalagyan niyo at di siya tumigil na mag aral at magturo hanggang sa inabot niya ang pinakamataas na lisensiya ng propesyon ninyo. Kaya sipag at tiyaga lang.

Kayo po na paretiro na. Nagpapasalamat po ako sa inyo bilang katawan ng inyong mga anak at kamag anak na natulungan ng naipon ninyong lungkot sa ibang bansa. Di madali pero kinaya ninyo. Yung lumaki ang ibang mga anak ninyo na di kayo kilala at minsan maloko ng mga misis na nangungulila din ng kalinga. Saludo ako sa inyong tiyaga. Tulad ng tatay ko. Sana maenjoy ninyo ang pagreretiro. Isang bagay na di niya natuloy.

Di niyo alam ang lungkot ko siyempre. Minsan lang kasi tayo magkita at ang inaalala niyo ay kung may makikita akong kakaiba sa PE ninyo or sa laboratoryo or ECG o Xray na magigng daan na di kayo makasakay. Wag po kayong magalala. Ang Tatay ko po ay Marino. Naiintindihan ko kayo.

Saludo sa mga Marino,

Doc June

The Vole

The Pristin sub unit officially released their MV today and this time we see members Nayoung , RoA , Eunwoo , Rena and Kyulkyung smolder on the screen as they to try and pull a very memorable summer run.

Pristin is still one of those groups that I want to see badly. They really are talented but are falling just a little short at times. This sub unit might be due to the fact that there is speculation that member Kyla will be leaving or be on extended hiatus since she stopped activities last October 2017.

This new song from the sub unit is both catchy and sexy at the same time and offers a visual overload as the girls have had upgrades done to their looks. All can sing and dance obviously and since there are only 5 you can actually enjoy of their parts on the song.

And also see more of the ones that you like and I like all 5 of them. I was wondering why Xiyeon wasn't in this group though. Well it is not up to me but I will continue to stan them. This one is sure to be on the list of songs for this Korean summer which is heating up as everyone seems to be coming back and trying to be the summer queens. Pristin V stands as one of those contenders.

Jus and I have been talking about building Brawl decks even before the Holy Week break. I had some peace and quiet in the clinic and I used that alone time with no games finally finish a couple of decks that were in the back burner. Among them is the Tishana Merfolk deck and the Azami deck I had never got around to improve.

I had managed to build 3 Brawl decks on the fly but mostly with the cards that I had on hand. 

It was a mono black Gonti deck which was mostly pirate cards with no decent removal.

There was also my Boros Depala deck that lacked the good vehicles from the Depala EDH deck that I had and I was really hesitant in breaking apart.So it mostly dinosaurs riding stuff with a mix of Dwarfs.

And the last one was the mono red Etali deck that had a lot of burn and red dinos that were ready to attack. Before our first games I decided to replaced the 6 mana cost dino with Captain Lannery Storm and this turned out to be the big boost that the deck needed.

I was facing against the first version of Jus's Sram Brawl deck. I was able to use Magma Spray and another 1 to cast removal spell to have Lannery storm attacking and not dying.

With it's haste and treasure producing ability I was able to cast the 6 cast Etali on turn 4 and even more dinos after that. 

I plan on improving the deck with a Neheb the Eternal pretty soon. Time to Brawl some more.

"Couch Talk"

YuuA had the habit of absentmindedly stretching her legs over V when she lay on the couch. The dragon had no complaints regarding the matter as it afforded her a view of her well shaped legs and the rest of her that the world would never get to see. 

He stretched out his hands over the bruises from today's practises , same like yesterday and the day before that. People had the idea that idols did nothing all day but try to look pretty but it was very hard work. YuuA slightly snored as he began to heal the tears in her muscles slowly. She was always thankful and energized when she woke up. Normally she would be hungry for food and for him. It didn't matter to him in which order that she fed , it was pleasurable either way.

The bruises were gone now , it didn't take much of his power to do it as well. She often asked him why he did it. Did he think that her legs were ugly with them? Like a banana with it's brown spots. He laughed at the comparison when she asked but answered all the same. "That only thing I care about is that you remain healthy and alive."

"When you talk like that you sound like an old person."

"Well I am 999 years old."

"You look like you could be my age."

"I am not though. How do you feel that I am older than any of your ancestors?"

YuuA wrapped her arms around the dragons neck and looked  straight into his eyes. "What do you want me to feel? All I know is that I want you with me." 

V normally did not run out of words to say but when it comes to this one person he found that the words did not even need to come out.

"Any more questions?" And she other her legs to wrap around him as well.Pulling him even closer , her body pressing into his.

"Yeah. With you being like that how can I ask my questions?"

"That is a question."

"I know but don't you want to know what I want to ask?"

"That is another question." YuuA said pouting. Her pretty face a few inches away from V. "Let me ask you this then  should I stop this?"

"No."

YuuA couldn't help herself any longer. After the long frustrating day of practices and what seemed like pointless meetings all she wanted to do was be with him in this cool and dark place. And as their lips met she knew she was getting her way.
