gaming The Magic the Gathering Thread

[Hazardus_Havard. 479]

I have a lot of great decks, but the deck I use the most is my white/blue deck. It has Vensor's Journal in it which allows me to have a infinite hand size and gives me plus one life for every card in my hand at during my upkeep. I end up having like 67 life at the end of the duel.

 

I had such low leveled artifacts in my cards they could be summoned without land or with just one and returned to the deck fairly quickly afterwards. I think I had someone with the same cards as you. That one took a good hour to play. We agreed to never do that again.

 

Still, I wish the digital game was able to play around with editable decks.

i stopped playing awhile back becuse it was getting a bit too exspencive for me but now ive goten back into it with the dark asension set and managed to get a werewolve deck going. also im quite happy that Garruk is in the 2013 set because now i can keep him in my side deck with my infinute life combo

Tonight as FNM I'm going to be using my self-mill deck. It is pretty awesome, and it's been getting better every week as I improve on its flaws.

I don't play control very much because I don't find it too fun and it costs more money. I prefer to play deck types that nobody else plays.

 

Example, my best decks have been Curses, Venser, Red Fatties, and equipements. I would never play a net-deck, I find the idea very boring and too predictable

[darkmist 38]

Ya I had a self mill deck once, it ran pretty well, im running a exalted deck to night, hope it runs tood tonight

[XUNUSEDXXX 3,459]

Oh my, my friend showed me this game and it actually looks pretty cool. Gonna go to buy a deck at my local comic store sometime.

[NeverNeverland 1,940]

Me and a friend are gonna start playing MTG as a way to balance out our Yugioh addictions. I'm planning to buy a intro Light deck and see where I can go from there, as I'm completely clueless with this game.

[darkmist 38]

well see that we combined my thread with this one, it cool though, at least there is a place for magic players

 

btw i crap out in FNM, deck did not run on par

[Senor Citizen 516]

I enjoy using my red/black deck. With a good hand, the game is over in 5 turns or less. With a bad one, whatever.

"light" deck??

 

*sigh*

 

We have a lot of work ahead of us, Never. PM me, I love talking about magic, and as a former pretty hardcore yugioh player, I can definitely help with the transition

*checks spare manual, sees WHITE magic*

 

Oh for the love of...

You sure about that? The transition part would be good to go through though, so I'm grateful for the offer.

This poll's lack of archtypes annoys me >.<

 

In recent news i traded my italian land tax for a badlands and went 5-0 in FNM with bantpod

[Ion 279]

Ah yes a magic thread. I was wondering when I'd see on here.

 

 

On topic: My Red/White humans (With Hellrider) had some awesome success at FNM yesterday. All wins no losses (For once). I do get sick of the overabundance of Delver and fast infect at my local store. Oh well, once the rotation comes around all will change.

[shotoku 47]

Oh well, once the rotation comes around all will change.

 

Yeah, infect is kicked out the door and delver loses mana leak =3 can't wait.

 

My FNM didn't do well, but I'm still learning with the deck, adding the Jellyfish card from M13 in for added control

[Ion 279]

It will be all fun next week however at my local FNM. Modern for the first time in a while. I can use my oh so fun coin flip deck.

^Lolz, seems obnoxious

look at this website. I use it so I can keep my decklists online if I need to show anybody

http://tappedout.net/

[Ion 279]

I use MagicDeckBuilder usually, I just haven't uploaded that particular decklist there yet. I put it together last week out of stuff I already have.

 

 

And of course its a bit obnoxious. Thats the point. The funniest thing the deck has done so far is chain 4 Fiery Gambits in a row with a Karplusan Minotaur in play killing my opponent despite being on 1 life. He has not happy.

[Evilshy 5,089]

Funniest thing I've ever done was during an EDH game. I was playing Niv-Mizzet against... Don't remember who, but he had a lot of white and blue.

Anyway, obviously, Nivvy needs to target the player to win, and this guy drops an ivory mask, as well as something that protected it. I had all but given up on winning since I couldn't get past the mask, but then, I had a brilliant idea.

I used an infinite draw combo, using elixir of immortality to stop from drawing myself to death, all the while discarding cards to Mind over Matter to continually tap and untap my opponent's City of Brass to kill him

[Ion 279]

I just use the Curiosity combo with Niv Mizzet (Draw a card, ping your opponent for one then draw again because of curiosity. Then ping for one again, and draw a card and so on, so on).

 

In everything but large multiplayer games you will always kill your opponenet if they can't kill him straight away. Just waiting for the duel deck in a few weeks so I can my 4th Niv Mizzet.

[shotoku 47]

My best moments happened during and EDH / Planechase 4-way. Three of us were getting dominated by this other guy. And then he cast Army of the Damned, then flashed it back, so he has 26 zombies. He was going to attack everybody on his next turn and we were all going to lose. However, when I rolled the planechase die we got to planeswalk away to this plane:

 

 

That bought everybody enough time to catch up, it ended up being the longest game of Magic I've ever played!

Yeah, but with Ivory Mask out, I couldn't target him :/

And I actually prefer Ophidian Eye to Curiosity, since it has flash, so I can tap Nivvy and the flash it in, giving less time for people to respond. Mind Over Matter works as well, and is also great for tons of other stuff.

[Ice Storm 1,020]

So I recently discovered a program called cockatrice that lets magic users play online for free against each other and have come up with some pretty boss combos

 

one of my current decks that I'm running online is pretty boss and will devastate quickly is as follows

 

Creatures: 20

• |2x| Artisan of Kozilek
• |4x| Elvish Piper
• |4x| Emrakul, the Aeons Torn
• |4x| Kozilek, Butcher of Truth
• |2x| Pathrazer of Ulamog
• |4x| Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre

Artifacts: 4

• |4x| Quicksilver Amulet

Enchantments: 3

• |3x| Omniscience

Instants: 6

• |3x| Counterspell
• |3x| Dissipate

Sorceries: 8

• |4x| Personal tutor
• |4x| Show and Tell

Land: 23

• |6x| Forest
• |17x| Island

Total cards 64.

 

This deck will have one of my ultimates on the field on turn three a good 75 percent of the time and by turn 5 100% of the time when starting hand is kept.

 

I have several other decks as well that I can post, but this one is good for this post. Don't wanna post all of them at once.

Cockatrice is good, i might actually run a tornament for it sometime.

 

Funniest thing i've done in EDH, i was playing Nivmizzet, because i'm a mean person like that. Cast curiosity targeting Niv mizzet, he goes, Go for the throat, in response, ophidian's eye. He was pissed.

 

OKay, if i do decide to run a tornament via cockatrice, what format would we like to see played?
