Any opportunity for song quotes...

Mottos Meme:
To each of the following topics, put down a motto that sums up how you feel. They need not be original quotes, nor attributed if you can't remember off the top of your head who to attribute them to. Just brief sentiments from your heart, however they got there.

1. Politics.
"The people hate the lizards, and the lizards rule the people."

4. Work Ethic.

So, I have created or updated for Ravnica:
(a) Red/Green/White Warp World
(b) Green/Black generic Golgari
(c) Black Rats, modified only in subbing in Last Gasp instead of Dark Banishing
(d) Red/Blue Freed From the Real, with the giant viashino tims in place of the lost Vulshoks. I can't believe it took me this long to realize it should always have had Neko-Te!
(e) Blue/Black Dimirish Ninjas. Sage Owls and Neurok Familiars replaced by Dimir Infiltrators (3 toughness, actually unblockable) and will-o-the-wisps (cheaper, regenerating). A few black ninjas tossed into the mix. It works better in general, but lost the 'i win' card vedalkin shackles.
(f) Red/White first/double strike Boros and Samurai deck. Godo Bandit Warlord fetches Sunforger which fetches a toolbox of one-of red and white instants (scour, smash, flames of the blood hand, blind with rage, etc). Boros Swiftblade (1/2 double strike) + Sunforger (+4/+0) = OUCH!

Last night I played around with Litany. She's amazingly tedious to solo... Phantom Army is really all she's got going for her, and it isn't up often. In a group, snow storm and freezing rain combo well, though -- once I got into a group things went better. Since her first costume was weird bondage straps with heavy makeup, I made her second a vampirish outfit based on the martial arts costume pieces, in bright red and black, with a white cape and cadaverous eyes.

And by morning, I'd calmed down and realized that one of the new bugs from yesterday was a side effect of the partial fix for the Tiger bug, and most of the rest were predictable outcomes of a bizarre spec decision which made 'keeping the old behavior' nonsensical. There is one weird thing that popped up still, though, and I do have to work around or change that spec decision so that the feature is usable.
