But now, I'm looking at an Elder Dragon Highlander deck of his and.... I've completed 3 decks for him in the past week, but this one is terrible. Plain horrible. I mean, he tried to make a burn/discard deck with Megrim and Burning Inquiry (which could make him lose his best cards) this week, but that is nothing compared to the mess he made with this deck.
His deck is based around Karrthus, Tyrant of Jund. Dragons are big, flashy and awesome to him, which I cannot deny. However, the deck is horrible. I count 16 Dragons, including his general, but there is no way for him to get things on the field quickly. Any form of reanimation is lacking, tons of proxied dragons and half of the deck isn't exactly synergistic. Now, I could fix the deck, scouring through all of my boxes, then through his boxes and then through a friend's boxes. But I won't.
You see, I read this article about a year ago and whenever I'm thumbing through collections, I make sure that I don't strain my thumb too much. I do everything with it and I somewhat dislike needles. Now, this week, I have thumbed through my collection (and my bro's and my friend's) atleast two times to make EDH decks work. I spent about three hours getting his Thraximundar EDH deck to work, finally finding one (!) damned Torrent of Souls at midnight. I did the same to build his Jund deck and my deck luckily formed from the cards I found while doing that.
Now, usually I would help people, it's what I usually do. But not if there is no gratitude to be found at all. And I don't want to be known in my family as "The Thumb". You see, my little bro once had an ingrown toenail. It was getting all green and infected. But he refused to simply go to the doctor, have it sedated and fixed. No, he had to be put under full sedation, just to get his toe fixed. Ofcourse, his toe became very sensitive and he managed to stub it against anything. Thus, he was called "the Toe".
P.S.: I'd watch the video in the link. Very entertaining.
P.P.S.: Wow, I avoided so many thumb jokes. As a rule of thumb, I usually make tons of them. See what I did there?
