Magic The Gathering

Re: Magic The Gathering

I used to play MtG, junior in high school...

Started playing during the 'old school' times (read: Urza's Saga)

Still have a Sliver deck hanging around here somewhere.

Re: Magic The Gathering

okay let's see if I can catch up.

Cyber Stein: My friend sold that one (Yes the one on ebay).

M:tG: I played from 5th-5th (yeah, I got lazy), Invasion Expansion, and currently Ravnica Expansion (Red/White/Blue lockdown... my friends hate it, even though I have Kamigawa in it as well). Sorry, but M:tG is cheaper than YGO.

I played YGO from LOB to AST (sold all my cards for $100, HA! I always get it from my friend that I got ripped even though I sold it to my friend so he can make the deck better as the sets go on)

Seal of Orichalcos is 'powerful' in the anime, nothing else.

Yes, I'm a tcg loser.

Re: Magic The Gathering

They did make a real Seal of Orichalcos. My cousin is getting it in Japanesse I think.

Re: Magic The Gathering

Urza's Saga is considered old school now?

My my how the times have changed since I was last into the game and its community of players.

Re: Magic The Gathering

Urza's Saga was my favorite set, so many good cards that came from it. But that was like 6 years ago. I just made a current type 2 deck that is more top tier than my mono white one (It's a Heartbeat deck).

Re: Magic The Gathering

The heartbeat combo eh? That was played by the star wars kid?

Re: Magic The Gathering

whoa M:tG
think i started playing Freshman year...
didnt really get into it until mirrodin block
ah mirrodin, we hardly knew ye
anyways, i play a dredge deck....that sucks....a lot
damn type 2

[Grandiagod]

Re: Magic The Gathering

A dredge deck has to have these cards to be effective:

4- Life of the loam
4- Gleancrawler
4- Kagemaro

and of course plenty of non land mana sources such as dark elf and bird of paradise

Re: Magic The Gathering

More like Pokemon cards.

Seriously though.

Slivers ftw.

Re: Magic The Gathering

Well actually yes , i do, you play type 2 magic with all the new sets etc..
we dont have fnm here anymore thats type 2, its all type 1 and 1.5 with tons of restrictions.. but the prizes are alot better then FNM, real cash etc

Re: Magic The Gathering

Slivers can choke on my nuts. They have WAY too much reinforcement. It's almost as bad as a shadow deck.

::breaks out overpowered elf deck::

Re: Magic The Gathering

Slivers are the cheapest thing in the whole of creation. Over the last summer I met two people with sliver decks, and castrated them with their own rib-bones.

Re: Magic The Gathering

I don't have a deck of my own, I don't make a habit out of playing the game, but every once in a blue moon I'll run into someone with multiple decks, we'll both have time to kill, and we'll play. I usually lose for some reason, but I hardly think it's ever my fault. I have a TERRIBLE knack for not drawing any land/mana cards until at least the 3rd turn of the game.


My friend, the guy who taught me how to play, is also a big believer in the older "sets" or whatever you guys call them. He's got this wicked Forest Deck with all these neat monsters (that are powerful, but not so powerful that they cost a lot), like, 3 Regenerations, and it's absolutely fantastic when he has, like, more than 12 forests out and he draws Nature's Revenge. I like watching matches more than playing since I lose a lot. I enjoy closely hovering over the player's shoulder and going "Oooh, what card is that?" and constantly disturbing the game by taking the cards to look at them every time they play a new one.
