"3 songs to sings when casting Belbe , Corrupted observer"

 "3 songs to sings when casting Belbe , Corrupted observer"

There are songs that come to mind when you see a particular creature and you just naturally sing it as you cast it. Here are three songs that might be perfect for Casting Belbe. I am not really sure if she would like you singing it to her , she might just go ahead and corrupt you for the glory of Phyrexia when she will think is a privilege for you.

Well here it goes.

1) Belbe , Belbe ,  Belbe ohhhhh

You know this song. Even if I don't like this song it just insists on existing in your ear after hearing it again and again. 

2) Always be my Belbe...

Yes it has that video where a girl is on a wheel swing and a younger Mariah...I am not sure if Belbe would like Mariah. But she will always be my Belbe.

3) Ikaw pa rin ang belbe ko ang belbe ko - skusta clee

And for a more local sound that my friend Mark Abude commented on my original post. Would be good for a laugh or so especially if you act so serious when you sing it.

 Tatahimik ba ang gabi?

Pagkatapos ng mahabang paghimlay

Pagkatapos ng mga araw

Na pinangako na babangon at di naman.

II

Mabibitin ba ang bakasyon

at mapuputol sa 4 na araw?

Oh itutuloy na lang

isang kasinungalingan lang ang kailangan.

III

Sasakit nga ba ang ulo

Sa pagsabi na masakit ang ulo

Kaninong ulo ang mas masakit

sa iyo or sa pagaalaman mo?

IV

Tatahimik nga ba ang gabi

O babahain ng mga salitang di tunay?

Tatahimik nga ba?

Oras lang ang makakapagsabi.

"Fading Paths"

 "Fading Paths"

I

There are many paths that I have tread

Some leading to nowhere , Some to death

Some to understanding , Some to sin

Some to others but nowhere within

II

It diverges into places I have never seen

One of fire and then to the Obscene

One of peace and then to chaos

One of stillness and the stillness of Horror

III

Of All the paths and I could not choose

None of them leads to you

And so I accept the fate I have been given

Never returning , fading in these hues.

"Phyrexian Triniform: It's Tripling time!"

 "Phyrexian Triniform: It's Tripling time!"

by:

I used to look at the Wurmcoil Engine and have a headache. It was a menace to deal with as it takes a good removal spell and still leaves 2 3/3 Wurm tokens on the battlefield that can still ruin my day. Those days are good and gone and it has been awhile since I was on the receiving end of a Wurmcoil Engine attack.

So imagine the headache that I had when I read the words Phyrexian followed by Triniform. A golem from New Phyrexia. I was excited to read on.

It was a 9 mana costed 9/9 artifact creature that is impressive as a better on it's own but reminds me so much of those Wurmcoil Engine headahces as when it dies it leaves three 3/3 Golems on the battlefield. 

But wait there is more to this headache. It also features the Encore Mechanic.

So for the measly cost of 12 mana(dedicated Artifact EDH decks seems to know how to cough up all this mana fast. Especially with Krark Clan Ironworks or Ashnod's altar in play.) for each opponent that you have you can make a token of this card and attacks these opponents when able. They gain Haste. Exile them at the end of the next end step.

So for simplicitys sake let us say that you have 3 opponents. You activate the Phyrexian Triniform's Encore and have 3 9/9 golems attacking (assuming that you made the good decision of using Encore before your attack phase). So if the 9/9 Golems land via a lack of blockers on your opponents parts you dealt almost 1/4 of their life. 

These 9/9 Golems are sacrificed at the end of your turn which would leave you with Nine 3/3 Golems on the battlefield. Which can potentially deal 27 points of damage on your next turn! Whichever way you look at it your opponents would have to respond or one of them will be facing elimination or even sustained damage on the next few turns.

We better get all those Golem tokens in storage. We would be needing this time around.

Nagsasawa sa sigawan nating dalawa

Di ka naman nakikinig di ba?

Alam mo ba kung saan galing ang tinig

Na di naman galit pero ramdam ang sakit?

II

Na pilit na iniinitindi

Ang mga maliliit mong hinanankit

Ang mga patong patong na kasalanan

Na ikaw at ikaw lang ang pumipilit

III

Minsan  , kadalasan , Madalas

Nawawala na tayo sa landas

At ang mga ngiti mo ay di ko na makita

Habang humahakbang ako ng paatras

IV

Sasabihing di na kaya

Sasabihing wag na muna

Pero di naman talaga kaya

Uupo. Makikipagsigawan na lang muna.

"Mnemonic Deluge: The Tripling Continues."

 "Mnemonic Deluge: The Tripling Continues."

It started with the enchantment Fiery Emancipation where Red Mage's get to deal Triple Damage.Triple Damage when double damage is not enough. It seems that magic is on a race to make triple the new thing since it is obviously so done with Twice things and had played it out in the recent Double Masters set.

Enter Mnemonic Deluge. A 9 mana massive spell that is made for the Blue mage at heart that reads:

"Exile target instant or sorcery card from a graveyard. Copy that card three times. You may cast the copies without paying their mana costs. Exile Mnemonic Deluge."

3 freaking times! So let us say you cast a Time warp this turn and since you had all the mana in the world to spend on things this turn via high tide or that Peregrin Drake + Archeomancer + Ghostly flicker combo. You can cast this spell and voila an extra 4 turns! One from the first Time warp and from the other 3 that you acquired via this card! Just Wow.

Now if WoTC is done giving all the colors triple of something we can move on to the Quadruple of things.

I

Time and time I wish I could shout

your name which I have forgotten

To feel those arms around me

And start what I thought did not begin

II

This sadness is supposed to be good

but why am I the only one seeing it

And you are there in my mind

saying that it is good but I argue it isn't

III

So wont you tell me your name?

Rid me of this awful misery

Say it , say it

So we can begin again
