I request a change.
To an Instant with something like....
Destroy all Lands/creatures or something similarly gfg.
A Magic playing friend of mine will get a kick out of it.
Cruor Vult

Hope, it is the quintessential human delusion,
simultaneously the source of our greatest strength, and our greatest weakness.

Heh, sorry it took so long to get back to you with this, been a long week... Anyways, personality link. Additionally, you asked how we solve problems... I'd have to say that my approach is some odd balance between an analytic and organic methods, first quantifying what I'm dealing with in some way that gives me a solid framework to work with, and then letting my brain do it's thing and solve the problem by instinct and brute force.
And though you come out of each gruelling bout,
All broken and beaten and scarred,
Just have one more try—it’s dead easy to die,
It’s the keeping-on-living that’s hard.

So it looks like you've just really changing the pictures on the cards and the names to match forum members, but the spell effects look like they're from the cards still, so I was wondering what base cards you used for both Bushkiller and Dusk's cards?

Um, he's using a program to make them look similar. He can just plug in any old numbers and spells he likes.

If you're still doing these I'd like you to do one for me. Here is my test.

To answer a few of your questions...
I general approach to problems is relatively analytical, with a slight nihilistic twist when it comes to people.
As for "quirks", I am quite obviously a HL2 fan-as shown by my avatar, I avoid sleep, I live in the basement-bed included, and I have on many occasions rode with the neighborhood biker gang, if you can even call them such. I also like a great deal of physiological horror and alternative 80's music, early R.E.M. especially. I am also of viking heritage, specifically the dredge of the nobility( still better than being a slave or soldier I guess.)

Yeah I looked up if there were any cards similar, and there aren't. Oh well. Those ones had awesome abilities.... :D :D

This is a very neat idea, and things like these are always interesting. Just the number of abstract things you learn... How wonderful.

I would not mind if you created a card that represented/whatevered me. I would prefer a slightly older card format though. And, would it not be much trouble for you to do this without a personality test? I think it would only be that much more unpredictable or otherwise if you were to base a card solely on whatever impression of me that has built up in your own mind. As a reminder, you could look through some of my old posts and etc. to get a better idea of my personality. If you insist. however, I will take the said personality test.

Many thanks.
