STEADY PROGRESS
(it's funny, i can have the effects of my entire deck and each card's name and what it does memorized to where i hold my hand with only the names shown, but when asked i can't even name what cards are in it except for one or two)

Don't worry, I've lightly kept up with Magic since Zendikar and know probably like 20 names if even. I'm still at the point where I will ask what every single fucking card played is/does aside from lands. 
when I started playing magic I used blue.. which is Island and I just loved blue cause of all the Counter Target Spells everywhere. Then afterwards, it became blue and black. Why black? Cause it's just devastating when you can counter anything and destroy target permanent and it can't be regenerated. Basically, deny and destroy. It's the ultimate magic satisfaction. I guess you can do it with red as well with all the massive dmg cards but I dont' know. blue+black is pretty Awesome.

Brr, I think Innistrad isn't a positive step for Magic at all. I mean, zombies? Double-faced Werewolves cards? Am I playing a fantasy card game or an horror film?
I've seriously had more fun in the Zendikar ages. <3
And I totally LOVE red+black decks, or blue+black ones.

Have you played with Innistrad yet? I can't speak for Constructed yet but Innistrad Limited is fun as hell. The format is pretty slow (which I like) and a lot of the cards kind of feel like little self-contained minigames, yet the set manages to stay kind of cohesive. And the transform cards aren't as clumsy in practice as they were made out to be before the set came out.
And I think it's meant to be both a fantasy card game and a horror film...

Do you have to register your own Magic cards? What is the official way to contact each other? Got Skype, Mumble and Vent. Would be up for some casual playing.

last word is terrible because you just counter the original spell again instead of countering last word
Well, if a blue mage is dropping a bomb you can ignore their counter-backup with Last Word.Lybydose wrote:

But yeah it's pretty terrible. Hinder ftw.
Oh, think we could get enough people together for an Innistrad draft?
Topic Starter
I'd be up for trying that sometime, sure. I've used this before: http://tappedout.net/mtg-draft-simulator/ and it worked pretty well. Only problem is that it includes bots to fill in the empty slots and they draft stupidly... they draft just the best card instead of building a deck, so it's like having a bunch of hate/rare-drafters at the table. If any of you know of a good draft sim that doesn't add bots, I'd be willing to give it a try.
We would need to find a way to coordinate and find a meetup time/place though. I can start an IRC channel for magic if you like (not on osu!'s server though... can't create channels on there freely for whatever reason). I also have Skype and Mumble, but I usually don't turn either on unless I'm about to use it for voice chat for something I arranged somewhere else.

for drafts, you may want to try http://www.ccgdecks.com . it's up to you to chose to add or not to add bots and it runs smoothly if all the players are reactive (and no bots are here).
i quit playing a few months ago and i've been laughing hard at the recent banwave. after giving us the worst standard in history (caw-go bull)
they are saying out loud that they have no idea of what they are doing. mental misstep legacy ban is the most fun,they had finally managed to warp meta but no, we're back for the previous format.i liked it, but sersiouly it has been solved a long time ago and needs some refreshing air.

I wasn't paying much attention because most of the content of the thread was technical terms I didn't understand anyway, but if any of this thread involved something that would let me use my old physical cards to play against someone I'd be happy to.
Modern would be so much better if they just unbanned a bunch of the cards.
ie Jace, Misstep, Bitterblossom, Ancestral, Rite of Flame, Ponder, Preordain, Dark Depths, Jitte, Chrome Mox, Green Sun, maybe Top
ok sure you'd have a bunch of powerful decks return but they'd be kept in check by all the other powerful decks that return you know. Especially since misstep just counters half the broken shit anyway
They just made control suck ass by banning everything that control decks rely on, so that made it nothing but combo. Then they banned everything combo relied on while at the same time hitting cards good in control, so that made the format still nothing but combo because there's still splinter twin and living end and control sucks even more.
At least there's legacy.

Yeah, I can understand some of the bans in Modern but I would rather they had let the format evolve organically rather than trying to mess with it so hard from day 1. (Also I want to use my Jaces )
)Well, you can build your real-life decks in the deck editor in Lackey with no problem. I do that some myself.Drakari wrote:

Thanks for the reference, I'll do that then. Afterwards I'll figure out how to use that for something. It's been a while since I've had the chance to use my artifact deck...Soaprman wrote:

anybody play yugioh here? I play it, albeit casually ^^
I quit after nemesis.
I own zero cards with the new face. If I ever were to play this game again, expect 12/12 tokens beating the crap out of you.

played a couple innistrad sealed
human decks are fucking ridiculous

check first post for how to contact, etc, or pm me personally on forum.
Okay, got my deck into LackeyCCG... but unless people regularly play with rules that allow 80 card decks I'll need to pare it down a bit first.
Hi, there I used to play alot during Carnage editions and the 3 previous ones, playing white and Green, this program sounds fun I might try it if someone wants to play :3, I'm though very casual and kinda rusty 
there's no maximum card limit to begin with
This. I always played 40 though because it's just easier and faster for me to make a deck that is at least halfway decent and consistent.Randy96 wrote:

Then again, I have quite possibly some of the worst drawing luck ever. Flood myself with land or never draw a single land (I'm not joking ;____;). I always got other people to shuffle my decks for me since apparently if I even touch mine, all my land will go wherever it pleases.
All of my decks have 64 cards. \o/
If your card count isn't
40 - draft/sealed
60 - constructed anything
100 - EDH
220 or higher - Battle of Wits
you're doing it wrong

Green aggro FTW ^_^
Back in high school my friends would play during lunch which kept us sane.
Only been in two state tournaments and one regionals

Running more than the minimum seems cool at first, but with each card you add, it makes it less likely that you'll draw the key cards you need.

61 - one card too many
For control a lot of people might have up to 62, but for aggro its 60
Well I may have too many cards, but that's because I specifically constructed it so I never need any of them more than any other.
This thread returns (with a +1/+1 counter!)
Did anyone else attend the DKA prerelease? I went 2-1-1, drawing the last match for 2 packs, which was pretty good considering I opened basically the worst pool ever, with rares like Rooftop Storm, Parallel Lives, Witchbane Orb, Curse of Echoes, Increasing Vengeance and Geralf's Messanger, none of which made my 40.

Yeah I did. My pool kinda sucked, but still won 2 packs in the end. I had black Mikaeus and Curse of Death's Hold, both of which would seem good in limited, but I never drew Mikaeus and the curse just ended up killing my opponent's undying stuff for him. Played an 8 man draft after that I didn't originally plan on, but someone was willing to pay my entry fee in exchange for some cards he wanted. Ended up winning the first two matches and then drawing the last match for the packs.
Topic Starter
My pool was pretty strange. I had two Falkenrath Marauders and a Moonveil Dragon... then a bunch of 1/1 creatures and utility cards. My deck ended up being some kind of blue/red control with lots of card draw and blue disabling effects. The deck ran pretty well and the games were fun. Probably would have enjoyed the event even more had I slept the previous night. 
I opened an Archangel's Light. MYTHIC LIFEGAIN SPELLS FOR THE WIN!!!!!!!!!
One guy opened both Sorin and Snapcaster and tons of good cards to make a great B/W token deck (even an on-color dual land) but he blew it because he's not exactly the best deckbuilder or player in town.

Is this thread still alive?
I'm rather new, I play (or played, rather) both the physical version and MTGO, started during Zendikar but stopped since end of last year. May be looking to get back into the game again if time permits.

I used to play Magic with my boyfriend and his brother but we stopped playing due to the fact that there was no one playing anymore. I bought it for Steam, played it for a day or two and then stopped. I enjoy the game but it can be frustrating XD.
Yeah I have Steam's DotP 2012 (which was what initially got me into MTG) as well but I have since moved to MTGO looking for a more complete library/deck customization features.
Topic Starter
I actually haven't tried the DotP titles but I've heard they're nice as an entry point to the game. Nothing beats building your own decks from scratch, though. Endless possibilities exist for wacky decks.
Currently working on a Heartless Summoning build to play tomorrow night. Trying to find the right balance between "silly combo deck" and "this is what I think of your humans/vampires/tokens" because there are so many small creature decks running around.

Anyone else pumped about magic 2014 coming out tomorrow?
Topic Starter
I've never actually played a Duels of the Planeswalkers game. I bought the first one when it came out but it wouldn't run on the computer I had at the time and eventually I gave up trying to get it to work. Never remembered to get the Nissa promo for it, either. Oh well! Might give 2014 a spin if I can get through my backlog of other games I'm playing. Kind of want that promo Scavenger Ooze, too.
I posted a thread about Magic long ago. DotP got mentioned in there a few times. Maybe it's worth reviving sometime? Who knows... p/1050697/

here's hoping there are better decks. some of the decks in M13 were a bit of a let down :<
also maybe someone could merge this thread with the one Soaprman linked? oh hey i can do that myself now /o/
