Magic The Gathering 2013 - Page 3

I've been playing since The Dark. I spend most of my days at work running around the WotC website forums.

Here's some pictures I took around my room while typing this post...

I play mostly Legacy (1.5 for the rest of you Magic oldbies) and Draft every Friday night at my local game store. I just put the touches on my newest Modern format deck and now I'm looking to get something together for Standard since over 90% of my current Standard deck will be rotating out in a couple of months.

As far as Casual decks go, I've got at least thirty decks sitting around my room along with another fifty or so decklists stored in a Word file on my desktop waiting to be built. My colors of choice are Blue, Black, and White, and while I can play Green and Red just fine, Green just doesn't speak to me quite like the others do.

A few months ago I was in the mood for making TV/Movie cartoon theme decks.

Here's a few:

I've been playing since around the time Urza's Destiny came out. I used to have a ton of deck designs laying around when I was younger but now I tend to keep my focus on 2-3 decks at a time. I ended up stopping shortly after Prophecy came out and came back briefly for Mirrodan. I didn't start up again until Time Spiral, then stopped again until a couple of months ago.

For awhile now I've been working on an Underworld Dreams deck which has replaced my old sliver deck as my favorite. My slivers were a blue/green deck with a couple of gold slivers tossed in that focused on dumping my opponent's library into the graveyard via shrieking sliver and millstone and controlling the board via telekinetic sliver.

My current Underworld Dreams that I made just a few days ago is black/red/green and definitely needs a few tweaks made to it. But I got tired of being public enemy #1 the moment UD hit the table (or even before) and decided to toss in some burn to supplement my lack of UD damage. Its designed primarily for use in group games and uses black for Underworld Dreams and Syphon Soul, green for Fog, Recollect, and Naturalize, and red for the best burn spells I happen to possess as well as a couple of Fortune Thieves as a last second fuck you. The UD damage is fueled by Howling Mines.

Blue is actually my favorite color to play but I hate mixing it with other colors unless I come up with a really fun concept. I generally toss in maybe 8 cards that will hurt people and make the rest counterspells and other control cards because I hate people.

today i tested my Jace deck with a friend...

Sands of Delirium + Jace, Mind Adept + Mind Sculpt = made him Discard 21 cards from his deck with 6 Mana. Totally fun.

Now we're discussing Commander. I wanted to do a commander Deck that Uses Sigarda, Host of Herons as commander. But that would limit my deck to White/Green. Which could be fine... but i'm hesitant. My friend on the other hand loved the idea and the first thing he said to me about his deck idea was "Cromat" and i just went "Ffffffffuuuuuu--"

Also, Tev... a Practical Handbook for the Boyfriend?

Girlfriend bought it on a lark and filled it with a bunch of adorable commentary. Every now and again we get a book and take turns either riffing on it in the margins or leaving notes for the other later. Right now we're on "1000 ways to say I love you."

Also, White/Green is fine. You have tons of land fetch, all the green and white tutor effects, white's removal spells, and Captain Sissay.

I've been playing for QUITE a while... I think since around Odyssey or so? Had cards from before then, but wasn't really dedicated. Got started back up in Time Spiral, stopped for a bit because of college, and am playing a bit more thanks to one of my old friends.

I play Legacy every now and then, but not anywhere near the amount I used to. Considering more of what you see nowadays is either Combo, Delver, or Maverick? ...I dunno, just find it kinda boring.

It could also be due to my horrendous losing streak, but that's something else ENTIRELY. Maybe.

Anyway, I've been playing EDH/Commander more and I find it to be a lot of fun. Especially when some people start yelling at each other for no reason or calling your move bullshit. Great times.

Currently have a G/W deck that uses Tolsimir Wolfblood as my general. Basic concept is make tokens, make tokens HOLY CRAP HUGE and beat for the win. Alternatively, make lots of tokens, use this and poison people to death. Hilarious times for all, that.

Also building another EDH deck that's mono-black, using Volrath as my general. Lots of tutors, creature recursion with big creatures, and a slight amount of dickery later, and I'm pitching Draco for a 1-hit general kill. Maybe not the best, but I find it hilarious. Now I just have to cut 12 cards from my current deck list...

i was poking around ebay, seeing what kinds of cards there are around... and although not a tremendous game change (but certainly usable) this is one of the most beautiful arts i've ever seen in a card

Hey Bells, did you know we're heading back to Ravnica in a few months?

Highlights:
-New mechanics for each guild. (Populate for Selesnya and Scavenge for Golgari have been spoiled.)
-A new Planeswalker. (Ral Zarek, a red/blue Izzet spark-mage.)
-Very possible reprints of the Ravnica duel lands. (Unless Wizards is seriously trolling us.)
-One badass elephant with an eye-patch (unkown card)

We also get all-new cards for each of the guild leaders.

Am I the only one who thinks we sound like members of a support group for Magic addicts?

Also, that angel is pretty awesome (both the art and the card itself) but I like playing cards during combat a little too much to try playing her.

Weren't you aware that Magic is an addiction? My girlfriend curses the day she begged me to teach her how to play.

I can quit anytime I want! Right after I finish making adjustments to my underworld dreams >.>
