  • How do I compare time differences in Excel?

    I am trying to track my employees break times and if they are going when they are supposed to. I work for a customer centric industry so they will not be exact but I don't want them going whenever they want. I have to ensure that enough people are always available for the customers.

    If column A is their scheduled break time and column B is when they actually went, what formula could I enter in column C to indicate the difference. I'm using "h:mm" formating if that's important.

    Ex: Column A: 20:45, Column B 19:58 OR 20:59.

    I can do the equation if they are late to break but if they go early, I get an error.

  • MTG Corpsejack mechanic question.?

    If I have a Corpsejack Menace on the field and I cast a Primordial Hyda, does the hydra get double the initial counters? Say I use 6 mana, normally the hydra enters the field as a 4/4, would Corpsejack make it a 8/8?

    Follow up question. During my upkeep I "double" the counters on the hydra. Corpsjack doubles them again. What would said 8/8 become on the next turn? I'm thinking a 24/24. (8+8+16=24)

  • RTR Golgari Zombie Swarm...Rate?

    http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/ah-zombies-1/

    I've posted a link above. I may be taking out the Lotleth-Trolls for Slytherhead for a board presence and sac outlet that would then pump my other creatures.

    Any suggestions on how to edit this deck? I want it to be very aggro and fast.

  • MTG Standard help. Trading Post problems.?

    I am running the following zombie deck: http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/zombie-rush-08-08-1...

    I am having great success against any creature based deck, delver or miracle builds. I am having some serious issues with artifact control like the Tezzeret builds, and/or Trading Post into Wurmcoil Engines. What would be some good cards for me to sideboard for these instances? I am pretty much running mono black with a splash of blue. I might change out to green when the next block starts but I'm open for any suggestions.

  • MTG Exalted Deck Advice?

    This is something I've been tinkering with. I would like any suggestions and advice on how to improve this deck. Would it be competitive in a standard tournament?

    Lands: 24

    4x Evolving Wilds

    10x Plains

    8x Swamp

    2x Cathedral of War

    Creatures: 24

    4x Duty Bound Dead

    4x Aven Squire

    4x Knight of Infamy

    4x Vampire Nighthawk

    4x Servant of Nefarox

    2x Sublime Archangel

    2x Nefarox, Overlord of Grixis

    Spells: 10

    4x Murder

    4x Oblivion Ring

    2x Spirit Mantle

    Planeswalker:

    2x Ajani Caller of the Pride

    The idea is to swing with a exalted Vampire Nighthawk for stupid amounts of damage and lifegain. Or swing with any of the other elusive exalted creatures. I'm currently sideboarding the Knight of Glory's incase they are playing black, but what else?

  • MTG Deck Advice.. Suprise Mill!!?

    I had this idea of making a mono-black mill deck that revolved around Liliana of the Dark Realms and Sands of Delirium. Since the sands is and artifact and can be activated as soon as played, I'm thinking that I'd hold it until I have Liliana's emblem and pounce for about a 40 card mill at once.

    I'm a little stuck on what else to add to the deck to make sure I survive long enough to play the combo. So far I'm thinking Vampire Nighthawk and Liliana's Shade with Mark of the Vampire to keep with the lifelink so I stay alive long enough. What else would be a good addition to such a deck?

    With Liliana, I think I want to stay mono-black so I don't want Jace or any of the blue mill cards if I can help it.

    I have this in mind. http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/suprise-mill/

    Any suggestions would be welcome, including good sideboard cards. This is an idea in progress and I have not play tested it yet. I'm trying not to use any cards that will rotate out soon.

    Thanks in advance!

  • MTG: Card ruling question.?

    I have both Demonmail Hauberk on the field and an undying creature. Can I sack the undying creature in order to equip it with the hauberk? Or would it not be a legal target of the equip since it would go to the graveyard before returning to the field?

    Example: sack Diregraf Messanger to pay the cost to equip the Hauberk > equip hauberk to the same messanger when it returns to the battlefield?

  • MTG Rules Question?....?

    Basically I was just curious. I know that a standard constructted decks are 60 or more cards with a 15 card sideboard. I was just wondering if I was allowed to keep a couple of cards to the side if I were to enter a Legacy or Modern event and add those.

    I have a zombie deck and have a full play set of Death Baron and Undead Warchiefs. Is it legal to keep some cards separate depending on the event? I work second shift and depending on my night off my local shop either has a standard or legacy event. Without those cards, I stand zero chance. With them I might win a couple of matches.

    I've only been playing for about a year, so I don't have the Legacy cards, or the money to buy them to make a truely competitive Legacy deck.

  • MagicTG ruling question?

    Please settle a debate. My friend has Mirran Crusader on the field. I play Black Sun's Zenith and distribute enough -1/-1 counters do kill the crusader. My friend claims that because his crusader is 'pro-black,' that the Black Sun doesn't effect it. I counter that "protection" prevents damage, blocking and targeting by black sources and -1/-1 counters are not considered damage and he would still die.

    Who is correct here?

  • What in Avacyn Restored will help this MTG deck?

    I love how this deck plays. It keeps my opponents side of the board clear so I can keep pounding away with my elusive creatures. I don't know much about Avacyn Restored and was wondering if any new cards would really help this deck out. (Please don't say I need more land, the largest mana cost I have is 3 and have never had a problem).

    4x Invisible Stalker

    4x Mana Leak

    4x Ponder

    2x Bonds of Faith

    Land: 20

    4x Spirit Mantle

    2x Sun Titan

    3x Gather the Townsfolk

    2x Day of Judgement

    A friend suggested a land called Seraph Sanctuary. Would the life gain kick in with Geist's pet angel? Any others that may help?

  • Magic The Gathering Standard Deck Advice?

    I used a lot of my extra cards and created a deck for my nephew. It's based around the morbid ability and seems to be an alright deck. He now wants me to take him to FNM so he can try it out. I don't think it's tournament ready, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Land: 22 swamps

    Creatures: 22

    4x Typhoid Rats

    4x Blind Zealot

    4x Dross Hopper

    4x Skirsdag High Priest

    4x Royal Assassin

    2x Ravenous Demon / Archdemon of Greed

    Spells: 16

    4x Tragic Slip

    4x Go For the Throat

    4x Moan of the Unhallowed

    4x Geth's Verdict

    I think I might give him my Geralf's Messengers so that he can keep up the pressure.

    I just kind of threw this deck together for him, but it's surprised me on how well it plays.

  • Please rate/fix my MTG infect deck.?

    I have some moderate success at my weekly Standard Tournaments, but have never finished first. What do I need to put this deck over the top?

    Lands: 24

    4-Hinterland Harbor

    10-Forest

    10-Island

    Creatures: 14

    4-Glistener Elf

    4-Blighted Agent

    2-Ichorclaw Myr

    2-Phyrexian Hydra

    2-Melira, Sylvok Outcast

    Spells/Artifacts:22

    4-Mutagenic Growth

    4-Titanic Growth

    2-Livewire Lash

    4-Tezerett's Gambit

    2-Swiftwood Boots

    2-Corrupted Resolve

    2-Mana Leek

    Sideboard:15

    3-Spectral Flight

    2-Contagion Engine

    2-Inquisitor's Flail

    3-Negate

    2-Livewire Lash

    3-Frost Breath

    The idea is to get out Elves and Agents early and pump to win by turns 2-4. If my apponent survives that long, Hydra + Melira is a devestating combo. I tend to finish in the top 8 but I want to win. Any suggestions that you may have to put this deck over the top would be greatly appreciated.

    I know I should have some Inkmoth Nexus, but cannot afford them at the moment.

  • Magic the Gathering rules question?

    Does a special land that can become a creature for a turn like Inkmoth Nexus, go to the graveyard if it gets destroyed, done enough damage to, or poisoned enough that it would "kill" the creature. Basically, if I were to make a artifact infect moth and it gets a doom blade, would I put that card in the graveyard or would it revert back to a land?

  • Magic the Gathering Rules question:?

    Does summoning sickness prevent a creature that can transform from doing so? For example: If I were to play Bloodline Keeper and already have 5 vampires out, could I pay one (B) to transform him that turn and give the rest of my vampires the +2/+2 bonus?

    I know I can't tap him to create a vampire token on the first turn, but can I transform him?
