Magic: The Gathering? You know, that card game where you use mana to summon creatures to rip off your opponent's head? (at least you can imagine such a thing happening, mentally)

The one made by Wizards of the Coast?

www.magicthegathering.com

Umm... yeah? Anybody? Or am I alone in this?

If anybody does, this can be a discussion thread, eh?
 
Ahaha, HAHAHAHAH, hahaha......

HAHAHAHA!!!!

No, seriously though, I used to play magic all the time in HS. Havn't played it recently though. I gave away all my cards. 😛 Oh well, Fun game though! 😀

...gave away your cards? How long ago was this? And did you have a Black Lotus or Mox Jet? Who did you give them to?

(Must... steal... rares...)

^.~
 
yea, i had a half dozen of each. first edition, i believe...

No, I wish. I had a few hundred, mainly they were decks I had created. Some of the m were pretty darn goo decks too! Probably about a year or two ago I gave them away to my brother. He might still have them.
 
Umm... 6 each of the 5 moxes from Alpha? You realize that's a crapload, especially 'cause each one is valued at about $500...

Alpha Black Lotus is valued at around $1600.

I believe you are pulling my leg, good sir, or I didn't read your post right.

Edit: And it appears I didn't... umm... shit... (gets whacked on forehead)

And if you really do have any P9 and aren't planning on playing Magic again, I suggest you go onto ebay and sell them off. You don't know how much good cash you can get from those things... hell, if I had enough, I would buy myself a Mox Jet. Hell, a 0 drop that gives you one black mana? That's good stuff IMO.

Sure, it's bad hand management, but you get a sweet amount of mana accel...

Any stories you want to share? In fact, when did you start? I'm guessing you started around when Ice Age came out. Every adult I know who plays started around that time.

Or maybe around the Urza block?

And you can't be seriously telling me you played when Alpha, Beta, Unlimited, and any of those other original sets came out.

You quit last year... so, you got to see a bit of the Mirrodin block, eh?
 
hehe...no, i was just joking, i have none of those cards. Last year was when I sold my cards, but I had not bought cards for a year or so before that. I mean, I had a pretty fine deck! I did not play when the original sets were out either.

I sure wish i had all those cards though... I do know how valuable they are! 😀
 
Umm... what kind of deck was it? If it involved Goblins hordes and a Goblin Piledriver thrown it for shits and giggles... I don't want to hear about it. God, what were they thinking when they made Goblin Piledriver? How to kill people with an insult? Jeez, when that thing gets out, it's usually game over. (Why, Wizards, why?)

So, mind telling what decks you used?

I currently try to make decks for Standard and Extended. Right now, Standard is hell. Well, at least it ain't like a few years ago, when Archbound Ravager came out... that thing was broken. Really, really broken. I managed to face that thing in the first tournament I went to. It made me cry like a sad panda...

(Screw you, Ravager!!!!!! Argh! Teh Brokeness!!!!! Run away from Ravager or be p0wned by its evilness!!!) X_X
 
I play MTG. 😀

Yeah, ravager was pretty broken. It's a shame skull clamp was banned as well. Dammit, I loved that card so much. XD

I haven't played for a while considering there usually aren't many people to play with. On occasion, i'll go to a friday night tournament, but other than that, I don't play any more. I also used to play alot in HS. Wasn't all that great, though. >_>

I sold some of my cards, but I do believe I still have a couple of half decent cards left...

Oh and did you go to the Dissension pre-release, Lohk? ^_^
 
Didn't get to go. I had work that day. Damn it...

Well, I got the last Fat Pack in the shop and pulled the rare Azorius land...

Recently, this kid stole my Overgrown Tomb and Godless Shrine. Shit, indeed. Well, at least I can trade the Azorius land for a Orzhov land...

But damn! I wish I had gone to the prerelease! >_< Should've skipped work! >_< And I heard Rakdos p0wned the tourn, too! ARGH!!!

What? I like black. I'd say 75% of my decks have black in one form or another.

And they should ban Kokusho and Jitte. THose things are unstoppable when they get running. Especaily Jitte. IMO, Jitte kills the originality a deck has to offer...

Anybody have any Lotus Petels?
 
No lotus petals from me. >_>

A shame you didn't go to the pre-release. It was quite fun. It's also a shame some kid stole your Godless shrine. I want that card so badly...

And yes, Rakdos owns. I don't have any black/red decks at the moment but I can always make them. Personally, I prefer the dimir guild. Circu owns. ^_^

And no, I don't think they should ban Jitte. Mainly because I run 4 in my deck. (White weenie) That jitte is one hell of an awesome card. I do agree that we should ban Kokusho, though. I can't seem to win against it. Like ever. >_> And I can't get my hands on one, either...
 
Heh... a loss is a loss. I can probably get a Shrine through trade cheaply... I think. :nerd:

Random wonderin', but isn't it a bad idea to pack 4 Jittes in a deck? I personally use only 2 at most in a B/U ninja deck, and it usually turns into a kill-spell. It seems that whenever I get the damn Jitte out, my opponent already has his out. Legend rule?

Personally thinking it's bad hand management to run 4 since if they get clumped together, the second one you draw is useless.

But hey, it's white weenie! The faster Jitte comes out, the better protected your creature(s) are, eh?

Yeah, Kokusho should be for sure banned. I mean, of the 5 Champions dragons, he does the most devastating amount of damage. I mean, it's like a sort of Drain Life stuck on 5 on wings, it's a 5/5 that flies for 4 and two black, already powerful for a black flier, and very few kill spells can actually destroy it.

Basically, when it's on the damn field, it poses a huge threat. When it dies, it gets the last laugh.

Kokusho comes in at #1 in the overplayed catagory.
Yosei is at 2
And Keiga at 3 .

Heh... I think that Dimir can handle any of the dragons quite well. I mean, all you need is a Hinder to send the dragon to the bottom of the library. Damn, all you need to do is counter the dragon with a hard-counter and hope to god that they can't pull it from their grave.

Bah... even though I have 2 Kokusho lying somewhere in my collection, I don't think they should have made him this powerful. It should have an actual downside to it, eh? Like maybe it drains life from its control during the upkeep, or forces the owner to discard a card. Sure, it can win games, but it ruins the originality of deck building! >_<

Well, enough about the brokeness of Kokusho...

Dimir p0wns. I don't really care what people say, it's my fave guild. Rakdos in 2nd. Orzhov in 3rd.

I run a Dimir reanimator. Basically, I pitch Mindleech Mass to the grave using Thought Courier, Ideas Unbound, Or Murmers from Beyond... then reanimate the thing using Dimir Doppleganger, Zombify, or Vigor Mortis. Yep... Mindleech Mass is fun, especially when it attacks and they have a Castigate in hand! It's like using the 'leech's ability twice!

Oh, and Kuro, Pitlord. The guy owns. Yesterday, I managed to kill off a Dread Slag using a Kuro attached to Doppleganger. it was quite funny... only payed 5 life to kill off Dread Slag on his draw step... ^_^

It seems interesting and would like to give it a try, but I mainly play Yugioh and have just started to learn VS so i would probably get all the rules mixed up if I tried to play all three.
 
Oh, you'd probably like it. Magic is more balanced that Yu-Gi-oh! IMO.

But Yu-gi-Oh is good. I still play it. Currently, I'm using an old school fiend deck. Ha Des kicks ass! ^_^
 
I hope to learn to play it some time.

In Yugioh I run a burn deck, but havent played that much as I have just judged at the UK Nationals.
 
I use to play back in day, before there where like 500 diffrent editions, I played 4th and 5th most often.

Umm... did I read that right? Are you a Yu-Gi-Oh judge?

Ok... just random wondering, but were Lightning Bolts easy to get back then? They're worth, like, $2 each nowadays. <_< heh, must've been cheaper back then, eh?

You seriously don't want to see how many expansions they've made for magic. Hmm... actually, on this site, they give all the names of the expansions they've realeased:

Umm... do they pay you? I don't really know if a judge for any card game gets payed anything...
 
Well for the UK Nationals I got 2 nights in the hotel where it was at, with all meals included paid for and got 5 boxes of cards, one of which being the new Enemy of Justice as soon as it is released.

Any other time I judge anywhere I get a few packs for helping out.

I think that it is only level 3's and higher in the UK that get paid more for judging as there are only a few level 3's, but I could be wrong.
