Any of you guys playing magic? I've been playing off and on since 1998. I stopped around 2005 with betrayers of kamigawa and said i wouldn't get back into it, but here i am again, and now i am back into the game. I just picked it back up with Theros, and I'm having a great time so far. I do have a standard deck (some proxy cards) but what i really enjoy is drafting.
I feel that drafting is the best form of playing magic. It gets rid of the people who are willing to drop tons of money on cards to make the best deck being played. Its so strategic, much more so than standard or limited. You have to make sure you cut the right color, that the other 7 at the table aren't cutting, you also have to take risk. Like taking a good card thats a different color, so you may not have to deal with it later.
So what do you guys enjoy about magic. Share here.

I've been playing Magic since 93. My favorite format is Sealed. I enjoy brewing new decks for Standard too. Especially with underdog cards that noone plays with. I recently won 1st place at an Invitational Qualifier with a Master of Cruelties deck.
-
I play, but don't really keep up with the current shit because the sets are all kind of lame. I just go cherry pick cards from the latest sets for my decks.
Standard sucks to me because it usually involves cards that I don't really like.
Mirage is my favorite era in Magic.
-
I played MTG waaaaaaaaaaaaay back in the day (7th/8th grade maybe?). Started playing at the tail end of Unlimited and into Revised. Quit around the time that Fallen Empires came out. Chronicles made tournaments almost unbearable, that shit pissed me off when it came out.
Think I still have a few boxes of these bad boys laying around somewhere in storage. Should probably dig them out some time.

Very nice. Whats your deck list. Right now im playing a mono black devotion, but i dont think i will be playing game tournaments with it, just because mutavaults are to hard to come by. I really like that master of cruelties decks ive looked at alot. I might have to look into building one myself

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MLB_Showdown
Collectible card games began and ended with MLB showdown.
I played MTG for about a year when I was in 4th or 5th grade (circa 1993), but that was it. Play Digimon for a while when I was probably too old to be playing Digimon.
-
I prefer Yugioh... ddddduel!
Not that I really have a stack of trading cards... I only play on videogames (I like Yugioh 5ds on the PS3, even being as half assed as it is). Can't find anyone interested in those card games.
-
I play casually. Never enjoyed the whole tournament thing. I just bought a theros booster box to play with. My brother and I will both make a deck from the cards we got and play em' for fun, then invite other people over to do the same. I'll agree with ark that the newer sets are, well kinda lame. I'm liking theros so far though. Been fooling around with a minotaur deck recently.
Sealed is fine, but I only played a few times at the local magic place, which smells bad, and is cramped and full of people who give table top and video gamers a bad name. The biggest problem at this place was that the players get to keep the cards they drafted, so I won easily both times becuase everyone else was just grabbing the rares, and ended up with no real deck.
-
I used to play magic way back in the day(I started right after revised edition was going out but really started getting into it before/when ice age came out. I will never forget being new/stupid to the game and upon my first 3 ice age packs getting a jesters cap, than trading it off for 3 shit rares to a friends brother at the time who was really into the game and knew much much more than I did. HAHA stupid me but keeps the memories alive...
I played/collected Magic for YEARS...both for fun and in small tournaments that hosted drafting, actual tournaments w/ the updated sets, and w/(cant remember the name) the version of tournaments where you could use decks of older sets. I used to have decks worth $300-$600+ when I played in those tourny's back then.
Anyway, I have not been following magic anymore since I gave it up so I have no idea what's going on now/whats new etc. Once they hugely changed the rules to me it killed the game itself and turned a 15+ year player away for good. Taking away mana burn, calling the in play area "the battlefield" and everything else they did killed it bigtime for me. That is just one man's feelings/opinions. I sold off/gave away all my cards/decks for little to nothing after that. I WAS going to keep my Chaos Orb card just for remembrance and shit but I decided everything was going so that sold for cheap as f*ck(less than $30) as I didn't care.
If you still play yugiohmagic the gathering(as I call it) than good for you and I hope you are having fun. Magic used to be a very fun, strategic, and entertaining game to play...for fun or serious. I wont ever get back into it(my buddy who stopped playing than restarted tried hard to get me to go back to the tourny's w/ him and play/get back into it...but I refuse as I truly hate w/ a passion what they did to the game and what its become. He's doing well though...winning tourny's and loves drafting.
I admit I miss it a little at times but it passes. Was cool to see this post...been awhile since I talked about it/thought about it and I had no idea anyone on here was into it.

If I remember correctly I traded a f*cking Time Walk for something from Legends that got reprinted in Chronicles (part of the reason I hated Chronicles so much). That set murdered card values.
I was a player first and a collector second, but values were important in the trade market when you were trying to get elusive and more powerful cards to complete a deck. This is of course back before they gimped all of the rules. I got smoked in tournaments all the time by guys who had 3-4 Black Lotuses in their deck.
But hey I was in middle school. Mowing lawns isn't going to buy you a set of moxes.
-
Yeah ita crazt that they changed the rules for ma a burn and legendary cards. But i think they did it to bring in more players. Casuals dont like to think about damaging themselves while playing. It sucks for the players who grew up with these rules in play. But with so many TCGs out there, things had to change to stay compeitive
-
I laughed at my friends who sold their black lotus cards. I said "man, keep those. "
they were like NO I CAN GET 400$ FOR THEM.
yeah, now you could buy a f*cking house with one.
-
Speaking of now being able to buy a house, I starting playing during Beta and sold all of my cards in '98 for $500. I had every blue card from Beta to Alliances (i.e. Time Walk, Time Twister, Ancestral Recall), 2 Moxes, 40 dual lands, a Dark set, most of Arabian Nights (Diamond Mine, Jazum Djinn, Guardian Beast), etc., etc. Got the beta Time Walk in one of my first six booster packs.
It's hard to imagine how much could get for them now and I try not to think about it, but I'm still glad I sold them. I was pretty fanatical and it was destroying my life. As soon as I got rid of that shit I started my first band and haven't looked back.
-
A friend of mine runs a MTG and CCG/board game shop out here and does quite well. I tried to learn how to play it back when around 97ish maybe?
However, instead I discovered and became all about ANI-MAYHEM!
(http://www.practicemakesawesome.com/wplocation/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Ani-Mayhem-Animayhem-CCG-card-game-pioneer.jpg)
I've got a full set of all the cards still which is pretty bitchin.

1st place at the Invitational is $500 and a case of the next set (Born of the Gods). The only way to get a ticket is to win one of the weekly tournaments so it will be steep competition.

I sold mine for about that. I had a full P9 back in the day. C'est la vie.
I was *sure* MTG was going to die, that there was no way they could keep it fresh. Man, was I wrong.

Very nice. Best of luck to you man. Make sure you post results after the tournament here. I plan on updating this with results each week. I played in a draft this past Sunday and took 3rd place. Lost to a guy who pulled Elspeth and Spear. I was running a mono black deck. Had no rares, but did have 2 gray merchants. It did fine, even against the Elspeth guy

I can post results here (although it is 2 months away). Hopefully, this thread remains active.
-
I'll make sure it stays active. i do 2 drafts a week, and will be posting results from that. So worst case scenario, people can read my post
-
I played in a few tournaments around 1997-99 but nothing too serious. I've bought hordes of cards and sold most of them over and over again. Just last year I purchased 3,000 Magic commons for $5 at the Gencon Auction Hall... I just can't quit this stuff.
I started playing around 1994-95 with Ice Age. Had a complete set of Fallen Empires and Homelands... lol
I graduated to Spellfire, Warlord and MagiNation soon after getting the CCG hook. I still have all those cards...
-
I am not competitive enough to go to those things. I've been told I build really interesting decks that shouldn't work, but do.
People try to get me to go to legacy tournaments.
But, the average legacy player is a socially retarded f*ckpump that needs to be hit with a shovel, so I don't bother.
I went to a local tournament thing once recently with a U/W phasing deck with mostly mirage cards.
The second I put down a card with phasing, they told me to leave.
The decklist is pretty comical.
I use Teferi's Honor Guard, Rainbow Efreet, supreme verdict, washout, (sometimes i swap in Teferi's Moat if the person I am playing is some green ramp deck), then I have a few one offs like Teferi's Drake and Sandbar Crocodile.
and then a dickload of draw and counters.
I also occasionally sideboard in Confiscate or Desertion.
Desertion is one of the funniest things ever.
"Oh, I play Akroma"
thats nice, I counter/take Akroma. I win.
Usually though, I just block/phase out and stall long enough to blow the table up while my stuff is phased out, and then I Just phase back in and wail on you while you try to recover.
-
So i went 2-1 last night at one of my local drafts. This draft is a bit different because like 20-30 people show up. so they have 7 people per table when we are actually picking cards, then all the players are mixed,and it is 3 rounds. I ran a W/G deck, main focus was heroic with wingsteed rider and staunch warrior. I had around 13 spells/bestow to target them, and that's how i won all my games.
Only good rare pull was a Xenagos. Its funny because at my table of 7, 2 people pulled Xenagos,and one other person pulled Elspeth

Was that record good enough to win any prize? Still, the Xenagos is a nice pull. I like Staunch Warrior/Centaur Battlemaster in draft since they become so big that noone can handle them unless they have a Sip of Hemlock or Divine Verdict. I'm off to a Commander tournament tomorrow. I'm running Thrun, the Last Troll as my commander since he can't be countered, is hexproof, and regenerates.

Since there are so many people i didn't get a prize. They just give out to top 6. So what is commander. i have never played it before?
-
Commander was originally called EDH (elder dragon highlander) but had to change the name due to copyrights. It was a multiplayer casual format but some stores hold tournaments and occasionally play 1vs 1. You can choose any Legendary creature from Magic:the Gathering to be your commander then add 99 cards to your deck (no duplicates except basic lands) that match your commander's color identity. You start with 40 life instead of 20. Your commander can be played from the command zone as if you had him in your hand and if he dies or gets exiled, you can return him to the command zone and pay 2 extra mana to recast him. You can win the game by the normal ways (reducing oppoent's life to zero, 10 poison counters, forcing them to draw a card when their library is empty) or by dealing 21 points of combat damage with your commander (no matter what their life total is). I chose Thrun since he seems hard to deal with.
-
I use atogatog, because I have problems.
I hate playing EDH at gamestores though. There are too many dickbags there with however many $$$ legacy cards they can find, so it's not really a game of fun, it's a game of "lol look at all my $$". They're not interested in seeing the interesting stuff you come up with. It's all about bragging about the pricetag, at least, around here.
but, it's satisfying to win with an Atogatog deck.
Skyship Weatherlight + Predator Flagship save the day usually.
It's really funny when you send a mob of atogs across the table and then have them eat your entire board and the have atogatog eat all of them. "Ok, Atogatog is a 25/25 now. You lose."
....or they swords to plowshare him and you're basically f*cked at that point. lol
BUT, even losing is worth it when you have :
(http://www.wizards.com/magic/images/cardart/OD/Atogatog.jpg)
I started making a Teferi EDH deck, too. I used it once and was told I was never allowed to use it again because it was basically a bunch of counters/draws/recurrable ways to screw the other player up (capsize, mind games, isochron scepter + snap).
-
I've been wanting to do a 5 color EDH deck. Atogatog sounds fun. All of the mono blue commanders (vendilion clique/venser/teferi) are tough to deal with. I was about the beat my opponent when he "miracled" a Devastation Tide to bounce Thrun back to my hand then played Vendilion Clique to put Thrun on the bottom of my deck.
-
atogatog brings back memories when i first started playing magic. I got a draft this Sunday. Wish me luck guys
-
5 color EDH is a disaster. It hardly ever works, but when it does, people start laughing.
-
So i only went 1-2 at my draft this Sunday. I still got 1 pack because me and my brother played for 3rd place and we decided to split, and then we just played it out and he beat me. Only good pull was a Nylea God.
-
Give me all the minotaurs you got.
Man, I am so glad I am retarded and make odd decks. I made a Minotaur deck with mostly Mirage block Minotaurs (and some beta hurloons!) like, 3 years ago mostly because I like the Talruum Minotaur art and needed an excuse to use him.
Didgeridoo went up to like 5+$/each now!
-
5 color EDH is a disaster. It hardly ever works, but when it does, people start laughing.
2 of my friends play with Child of Alara as their commander and have had quite a bit of success with those decks. Another friend plays with Reaper King. The trick is to have plenty of way to fetch dual lands/shock lands.

So went to my firat Magic PTQ this weekend here in AZ. It was pretty awesome. Had 178 players. I ended going 5-3 with my mono-black devotion deck. That got me 37th place. Not to bad for my first PTQ. I made some really bad side board mistakes during my last game. It def seemed like mono-black was the deck to beat, and everyone was running mono red devotion with chained to the rocks and assemble the legion.
My last game was against mono red, and for some reason i didn't side board in my duress's. This cost me the game because i simple lost to chained to the rocks. If i had my 3 duress spells, and 4 thoughseize, it could have been a different story.
Oh well, lesson learned. I had a ton of fun,and learned alot.

You need "Destroy the Evidence" to deal with Chained to the Rocks and "Illness in the Ranks" against Assemble the Legion.
-
Have not played it since 9th grade High School
or was it 10th grade? yup 10th . I collected since 7th grade stopped at 10th. I was the only player on the football team that played Magic

I could see those working, only issue is what do you take out of side board to make room?
-
Ratchet Bomb with 1 counter on it is also good vs. Chained to the Rocks. What does your sideboard look like now?
-
yeah i was thinking rachetbomb. Right now my SB is 3 lifebane ,2erebos ,3duress ,3dark betrayal , 2pharika's cure. Those are the staples. At this PTQ i also had a blood baron and doom blade. So i will most likely take out those 2 and put in 2 ratchet bombs. That way i can deal with chained, and assemble, and if those don;t come up, i can use it for other things
-
3 Dark Betrayal seems like too much if you're already running 4 Hero's Downfall, 4 Devour Flesh, and 4 Thoughtseize (as most Mono Black Devotion decks do).
-
Yeah i am running 4 of all those cards. I run 3 Dark Betrayal because mono black is so common. I know alot of people also run 3 Erebos for this reason. I only run 2, because i only have 2
-
I think Destroy the Evidence is best in the mirror match since you can destroy their land with Underworld Connections on it to cripple their devotion and stop them from drawing into multiple Gray Merchants.
-

Yeah, but if you are playing the mirror they will def have 4 underworld, and at least 2 erebos to draw. I think destroy the evidence just cost to much

ugh, standard. Do you guys play legacy or anything? lol
-
ugh, standard. Do you guys play legacy or anything? lol
I haven't played Legacy since it was called "type 1.5" (probably about 15 years ago). I recently got into Modern and took 1st place last week at my local store. I play Standard, Sealed, and Draft on a weekly basis as well as casual games of Commander.

Same, When i played legacy, it was called 1.5. I dont get into it anymore. Right now i just play standard(not very often) sealed and draft. Drafting is by far my favorite
-
Yeah I played back then, too. I was confused when I came back and the types were all changes to real words.
I don't really play competitive legacy though, because all you see are about 3 deck types with $$$$ cards so it's all down to who gets going first, and if the other player has a force of will ready or not.
-
Have you guys checked out to spoilers for born of the gods? Man i can't wait. Im going to pre order a box this week
-
Born seems to fill in a ton of gaps which is nice. But since I really don't play competitively unless I find a group into it I might pass on this set.
-
I play Magic the Gathering as well. I started back during Revised, and then I "get in" and "get out" every few years or so. I've only been back in since last September/October when Theros just came out. I'm currently brewing up and playing 4 different Standard decks - blue/black Dimir, white/red Planar Cleansing, white/green Bestow creatures, and red/green Land Destruction. I also have a Captain Sisay Commander deck (almost all Elves) that I'm playing as well.
-
Anyone hit up the born of the gods pre releases this past weekend? I went to 1 on Saturday, and another 1 on Sunday. Went with red as my pre release color on Saturday, and i couldn't even play red, because there was no worthwhile cards. So i ran a black/white deck and ended up going 3-1. Sunday i decided to go black, and really liked the deck i built. I even got a Mogis, god of slaughter. I ended up going 2-2 on Sunday however. There were less people there on Sunday. If i would have won the last game i played, i would have taken 7th place.
Anyway, I'm really liking born of the gods so far. I even have a new deck idea,based on some of new cards, and Master of cruelties. Check it out and tell me what you guys thing.

They released some of the dumbest griffins I've ever seen in my life in Theros/Born of the Gods.
also, Wild Nacatl is unbanned in Modern.
That's going to be hilarious.

I played on Saturday and Sunday...went 3-0 and took an intentional draw in round 4 both days for a final record of 3-0-1. Due to tiebreaker points, I took 2nd place on Saturday but took 1st on Sunday. I chose Blue on Saturday and had 2 of the Serpents that can't attack unless you bounce an enchantment (but all of the enchantments in my deck let me draw a card when they come into play or were bestow creatures) and I kept triggering heroic. I chose Green on Sunday.

I can't wait to finally be able to sell my foil playset of Nacatls!

how much do you want for them? the art is hideous, but I am a sucker for shinies.
-

I took home 12 packs for the weekend (prizes were based on your record so I got 6 packs for 3-0-1 for each event). I'm saving them to draft with. I have horrible luck opening money cards. My card pool on Sunday was nothing but bulk rares...Astral Cornucopia, Hero's Podium (I didn't have a single Legendary creature).
-

I think 2 of them are alternate art promos. I'll have to double check when I get home and I'll PM you the details.

I took home 12 packs for the weekend (prizes were based on your record so I got 6 packs for 3-0-1 for each event). I'm saving them to draft with. I have horrible luck opening money cards. My card pool on Sunday was nothing but bulk rares...Astral Cornucopia, Hero's Podium (I didn't have a single Legendary creature).
Did you happen to check out my new deck idea based on Master of cruelties.

So today is the official release of Born Of The Gods. Buying a box today, and i hope i pull at least 1 Mogis,God of Slaughter
-
Went to the pre release event Friday for born of the gods. Things were going well when it started. Pulled a Mogis, and was 2-0. Then i lost the last game, so didn;t get any prizes. Was pretty upset, because lately i have been getting so close to winning, but just not getting the win.
Today there was a two headed giant sealed event, that me and my twin brother played in. We ended up winning the event going 4-0. Won 16 packs, and this amazing play mat, that we are going to alternate owning each year.

Sweet!

We drafted at my buddy's house yesterday and I went 3-0 to take 1st place. Every deck that I have made has had blue in it for the Serpent that can't attack unless you bounce an enchantment.
He's been my MVP in my undefeated events.

I think that card is a sleeper hit. A lot of people look at it and think its bad because the return of enchantment. But they aren't seeing the bigger picture.

You shared the link to your decklist before but I never got around to commenting on it...Have you been playing it? If so, how has it performed? I think this deck could benefit from a Hammer of Purphoros.

I've only been able to test it out a few times, and so far it has been decent. I have game day tomorrow, so i will have at least 4 rounds to test it out. Ill post up here with the results

A friend of mine went to that tournament and I thought he might end up as a photobomb victim but alas he was conspicuously absent from that photo album.

Saw those pics yesterday. I think its Hilarious. Im sick of seeing dudes ass cracks everytime i go to a magic event. Just because we are nerds, doesn;t me we have to dress like shit, and let our asses hang out all the time. The dude actually got banned for 6 months by WOTC

That's why I don't do competitive anymore. I got tired of fat mouth breathers that cry when they lose and smell like doritos and unwashed ballsack.

Nice! Boy I got to this topic late, but I love magic! I've played since darksteel, and don't really plan to ever get out. Limited is my favorite, and I can't wait for GP Atlanta next month!
-
i did pretty bad at gp phoenix today. i went 1-3. One of the games i lost i actually killed myself. I had 4 life with a tapped pain seer and a bestowed herald of torment. I lost the 1 from torment on upkeep, then i drew a hero's downfall with the pain seer trigger.
I went 3-1-1 in the 2hg with my brother. Lets home i do better tomorrow in the sealed, or standard event
-
I first started playing Magic when The Dark came out and have played ever since.
Sold my Arabian Serendib Efreet to Arkhan last year!
I'm only into older cards for the most part. Really wasn't a fan of the card redesign after scourge so I stopped buying new cards. Haven't bought a booster box since Weatherlight.
I've played in a few tourneys. One was quite memorable: a sealed deck tempest block tourney that took place when exodus had just came out. I had a strong enough deck to go all the way, but was eliminated by losing twice to the same player, who had a 1 casting cost, 1 damage poke spell with buyback. I had spell blast but we thought that you had to pay the full buyback cost as well as the casting cost. Was my first time playing with buyback so I had no clue. Later on I read the rules and found out I shouldn't have lost. Now I tend to be a bit of a rules lawyer lol
At my new job a few of the younger guys play with newer stuff, and sometimes we go head to head. Right now I'm dominating them with a black/white shadow deck that also has the land tax / cursed scroll combo and a fair bit of land kill like sinkhole, vindicate, and armageddon.

have you guys been keeping up to date on the Journey into Nyx spoilers. There are some pretty crazy cards being released, like the new equipment, and the Ajani Planeswalker

Depends on what type of decks you run. I've seen quite a lot more to be excited about than I did in Born of the Gods. I'm really looking forward to many of these cards.
Who's doing the Journey to Nyx Prerelease? I'm planing to do a midnight, noon, then 5pm run of three tourneys on Saturday.

I typically do the Saturday and Sunday events at each PreRelease. This set is shaping up to be better than the last set.
-
I will most likely be doing pre release events all day Saturday, and maybe on Sunday. Heres a revision of my mono-black aggro with some of the journey into nyx cards in it

Won 19 packs at the PreRelease over the weekend. Took 1st place in the 2 Headed Giant team event and the Sunday event and 2nd place on the Saturday event.
-
Very nice Hobbs. I took 10th place on Saturday's pre release event. There was over 90 players. I won 4 packs from that event. Ended up going 3-1 with a win loss record of 6-2. Went 2-0 first 3 games, lost the 4th game 0-2
On Sunday i got 12th place out of like 60 players. Went 2-1-1. Only lost to the guy that took 3rd. I won 3 packs that day and pulled an Ajani
-
I played in 3 'flights'.
1-1-1 in the first one (played red), 1-2-2 in the second (played black), and 4-0-1 in the third for first place (played white)!
My deck list for my first place deck is as follows:
Land (17)
Plains (9)
Forest (7)
Temple of Mystery
White (12)
Banishing Light
Chosen by Heliod
Dauntless Onslaught
Dawnbringer Charioteers
Dawnbringer Charioteers
Eagle of the Watch
Gods Willing
Lagonna-Band Trailblazer
Oreskos Swiftclaw
Oreskos Swiftclaw
Sightless Brawler
Stonewise Fortifier
Green (9)
Colossal Heroics
Desecration Plague
Golden Hind
Golden Hind
Pheres-Band Thunderhoof
Setessan Oathsworn
Snake of the Golden Grove
Voyaging Satyr
Vulpine Goliath
Multi-colored (1)
Ajani, Mentor of Heroes
Artifact (1)
Gorgon's Head
Banishing Light and Desecration Plague overperformed, while Sightlesss Brawler underperformed. I didn't pull Ajani until my 5th match, and he was great!
I also pulled a Kiora in the 'flight' which I chose black, so I ended up playing a 3-color BuG deck which didn't do great, partially because the deck played rather slowly, and I got paired up against 2 durdly opponents, whom I could have beat if I had just had more time.
-
White def had the best promo in this set hands down. I do believe that black has the best common and uncommon cards though.

I originally thought White had the best promo but it always seemed underwhelming whenever someone played it against me and I abandoned White altogether when I chose it for my box color in favor of Black/Blue Constellation. I played mono white in the 2 Headed Giant event while my partner played mono blue. We had so much control, it was ridiculous! I always find it funny that the players that pull the big money cards do the worst especially since I always pull the bulk rares :( I did open 4 of my prize packs (keeping the rest for drafting) and managed to pull 2 of the gods (Iroas and Pharika).

I think a lot of people who pull the money cards do bad because they try to build a deck around the card, even if the color isn't there. Just because you have one strong card doesn't mean you should build around it if you don't have the cards to do so

True, true. That may be what happened with my black deck that splashed blue and green mostly for Kiora.
I will say that one of the funnest deck that I have ever drafted was the one that I drafted on last Friday night before the midnight prerelease - 5-color Chromanticore! Since the packs were Born/Theros/Theros, when I cracked the first pack and saw Chromanticore staring back at me from the rare slot, I just knew that I had to try and force the deck. Drafting was a bit different, because I was all about picking bombs, mana fixing, and fog effects (since removal was very scarce and to hold my opponents off until I could drop a bomb). I don't remember the exact order of my picks, but I do remember some as follows:
P1P1 - Chromanticore
P1P2 - Silent Sentinel
P1P3 - Astral Cornucopia
P2P1 - Medomai the Ageless
P3P1 - Prophet of Kruphix
The Deck (43 cards total)*
White ( 3 )
Akroan Phalanx
Glimpse the Sun God
Silent Sentinel
Blue ( 8 )
Aerie Worshipers
Annul
Coastline Chimera
Griptide
Sudden Storm
Thassa's Emissary
Voyage's End
Wavecrash Triton
Green ( 5 )
Karametra's Favor
Nessian Courser
Nylea's Presence
Ordeal of Nylea
Voyaging Satyr
Multicolored ( 5 )
Chromanticore
Daxos of Meletis
Ephara's Enlightenment
Medomai the Ageless
Phrophet of Kruphix
Artifact ( 3 )
Astral Cornucopia
Burnished Hart
Pillar of War
Land ( 19 )
5 x Forest
6 - Island
1 x Mountain
5 x Plains
1 x Swamp
1 x Unknown Shores
Sideboard ( 19 )
Blue
Benthic Giant
Breaching Hippocamp
Fate Foretold
Sealock Monster
Sealock Monster
Swan Song
Thassa's Bounty
Thassa's Bounty
Black
Baleful Eidolon
Bile Blight
Marshmist Titan
Necrobite
Nighthowler
Returned Phalanx
Red
Akroan Conscriptor
Wild Celebrants
Multicolored
Akroan Hoplite
Battlewise Hoplite
*This deck ended up being 43 cards total. If I had had more deck-building time, I probably could have cut this down to 40, but time was very tight. What would y'all have cut and/or built differently?
-
Chromanticore seems like it would work well in a deck with Prophet of Kruphix. I had some spectators laughing about my board state at last week's FNM when I had Prophet of Kruphix, Mercurial Chemister, Aetherling, Zhur-Taa Druid, and Ral Zarek on the battlefield. I had just gotten 3 extra turns from Ral Zarek, drawn 4 extra cards with Mercurial Chemister, and attacked with an unblockable Aetherling while my opponent had 1 card in hand and no permanents on the battlefield except for lands...and he didn't scoop!

Yeah.... i would have extended the hand in defeat. Tomorrow my local shop is doing a Theros cycle draft (journey,born Theros) for the release of Journey into Nyx. I may buy a box tomorrow. or i may just buy a fat pack, not to sure yet. I want to buy the new kirby game, so i may just go with the fat pack

Interesting deck... I don't know your local metagame, but here are my thoughts.
1. Precinct Captain's double-white mana cost seems rough with only 11 non-come-into-play-tapped white sources. Maybe there is a better creature for his slot?
2. Because of its Legendary status, your 2 Spear of Heliod might be better served as a 1-of with 1 Hall of Triumph.
3. You call your deck Black/White mid-range, but it looks like you're trying to be aggro, which leads to point 4.
4. There's so much good mono-black aggro, why not splash just enough white for Athreos? I mean, with 4 Gnarled Scarhide, 4 Rakdos Cackler, 2-4 Thoughtseize, & 4 Tormented Hero for your 1-drops; 0-4 Pack Rat, 3-4 Pain Seer & 3-4 Spiteful Returned for your 2-drops; and 4 Herald of Torment & 2-4 Master of the Feast for your 3-drops, you don't even need to run any 4-drops, so you could just run 17-18 Swamps with 4 Mutavaults for mono-black, or swap out 6-8 Swamps for Black/White mana sources to support 2 copies of Athreos.

Makes a lot of since to go with the mono black aggro with the splash white for Athreos. Something i def want to playtest
-
Yeah, I got whipped last FNM by one of these mono-Black aggro decks. :( I may just have to join 'em if I can't beat 'em.
-
So what are y'all playing for FNM this week?
I built a couple of decks:
1 - white/green Eidolon of Blossoms deck with all enchantments/enchantment creatures except for 1 Ajani, Caller of the Pride and 2 Ajani, Mentor of Heroes
2 - mono-black Squelching Leeches/Lilianna of the Dark Realms/Chromanticore (splash 3 Blood Crypt, 3 Godless Shrine, 3 Overgrown Tomb, 3 Watery Grave, because Lilianna can tutor up whichever color I need)
I don't really know if either of these decks are very good, so I may play my red/white/blue control deck since I've been able to get 3 of the Temple of Epiphany scry lands.

Deck list please!
*Edit: Actually, maybe I should be asking for the deck list of the 1st place winner. :-"
Also, Last week's FNM winners were all mono-black aggro and/or fast boros burn. I didn't see a single UW control deck, so I'm thinking that maybe I should fill that hole with my WUR contol deck and put the Warleader's Helix's mainboard for the life-gain.

The guy that took 1st place was playing mono red aggro and got double burning tree emissary and a firefist striker out on turn 2 in game 1 while I stalled out at 2 lands. Game 2- I mulled to 5 and wiped his field twice with Anger of the Gods but he eventually got a Boros Reckoner out followed by a Fanatic of Mogis. I'll try to post my rogue homebrew deck this weekend if it performs well again tonight.

I went 3-1 with Carpet Bombers last night at FNM to win 5 packs. My only loss was to mana issues (stalled out at 2 lands in game 1 and mulled to 6 cards in game 2 then drew a land every turn). There were a lot of Selesnya and Junk decks in the meta at my local store. I had to face the new Ajani twice.
-
I had to work late last Friday, so I did the 8pm J/B/T Draft instead of the 6:30pm Standard. I ended up drafting a weak Black/Green deck. I still ended up going 3-1 and won 2 packs, so it wasn't a complete waste, but even the rares were pathetic. The best rare that I saw was Anax & Cymede, and I passed it.
... Still waiting on your "Carpet Bombers" deck list.

What to play..., what to play... for tonight's FNM?
-
Im moving so im taking a little break from magic for awhile. Still will play casually though
-
Well, for Game Day last Saturday, I pulled out my old black-with-a-splash-of-blue Dimir deck and went 3-0 for the first 3 rounds before losing the last 2 rounds to end 3-2. ](*,)
-
Took first place in Draft this week at FNM with a red/green aggro deck. :)
Some highlights of the deck were:
3 Satyr Hoplights
1 6th pick foil Satyr Firedrinker
1 Fanatic of Xenagos - This card won the most games for me.
1 Xenagos the Reveler
0 Golden Hinds - I never saw any. :|
My main board only had two 4-drops: Anvilwrought Raptor & Xenagos the Reveler. Everything else was 1 to 3-drops.
One game, I used a Karametra's Favor imbued Satyr Hoplight to add white mana to my mana pool so as to be able to sacrifice my Priest of Iroas to destroy a big bad enchanted enchantment creature. :mrgreen:

Nice! Congrats! I've been pretty unimpressed with draft lately but I'm looking forward to drafting with Conspiracy next weekend.
-
Yeah, my local shop is running Conspiracy drafts all day this coming Saturday, so I'm hoping to get in 1 or 2 drafts, as it looks fun.
-
i havent been able to play for the past few weeks, been moving, and finally got moved into the new house.
Hopefully i can start playing again soon
-
So, who is going to draft Conspiracy this weekend?
I'm still trying to figure out Lore Seeker. It adds a pack to the draft. I completely understand the mechanics, but the question is who pays for the extra pack? Since this format is non sanctioned, and prizes will be difficult to assign, since any 2-3 players should be able to knock any other single player out of the game, figuring out how to pay for extra Lore Seeker packs and who pays for them is quite confusing to me. It anyone has any ideas, please enlighten me.

I am hoping that they have a rules insert in the box to elaborate on stuff like that (haven't checked the Wizards site yet to see if there is an FAQ). We'll probably make up our own "house rules" when we draft at my buddy's house tomorrow but when I go to local stores on Saturday & Sunday, they will need to be ready for those questions.
-
My local store said that the Conspiracy drafts are all 'casual' games, or non-sanctioned, and so, while their rules guy will gladly oversee pods who want to play, the interaction on things like this will all be between the players.
An interesting question is, since most out-of-print booster packs are more expensive, I assume that most of the time Lore Seeker comes out, people will only be adding Conspiracy packs and/or packs currently in Standard to the draft... Another thought is that since this is for casual play, maybe some people will be adding Unglued/Unhinged packs into the draft. 8)

Well, for FNM last Friday, I wanted to play Standard, because Grand Prix Chicago is this coming weekend, and I've been planning to go, so I wanted to get some Standard games in. Unfortunately, I had no time beforehand to play/practice, so I ripped through my Dimir deck and turned it into my own version of mono-black (think Liliana and Squelching Leeches). I got hosed 2-0, so I dropped just in time to join the Journey/Born/Theros draft. I took second place, and I feel that I would have taken first if I had been more up on the rules. :( (Basically Crystalline Nautilus is useless. I had a Prognostic Sphinx, and I thought that Crystalline Nautilus would be safe to play on it, but alas, it was not. :( ) Oh well, I won a few packs, and I got a copy of the cool foil promo card - Dissolve.
Is anyone here planning to participate in Grand Prix Chicago?

I'm not near Chicago but I was thinking of attending Grand Prix Worcester. It is Modern format so I was going to play my own version of Birthing Pod.

Looks like the San Diego Comic Con is going to be doing this every year. Last year's boxes were selling on ebay for around $700.

By the way, what color are people choosing as the best color for the M15 prerelease this weekend? The black promo card looks awesome, but I've read good things about white, red, and green (not blue).

I haven't even seen what the promos are. Got a link to the site that shows them?
-
I was only able to play in one 'flight' of the Prerelease. I choose white and went 2-1 in three rounds - got totally mana-messed over in both games of my loss.
We had 40+ people in my 80-person flight choose black, and the store ran out... :roll:

I played in 5 flights...got 1st place in one of them and 2nd place in the other 4 flights. Chose Black in the first flight (pulled Liliana Vess). Red in the 2 Headed Giant flight (pulled Soul of Ravnica and Soul of Shandalar). Black again in the third flight (pulled Soul of Zendikar) took 1st place in this one with a Black/Green build that splashed Red for Burning Anger (so good!). Chose White for the 4th flight (pulled Nissa Worldwaker but couldn't play her since my card pool didn't support Green very well). Planned to play Green for the 5th flight but there weren't any left so I had a choice between Red or Blue so I went with Red again since Blue seemed very meh.

I was at EVO this weekend so i missed the M15 pre release. My brother went and took 3rd using a red/white deck.

That's a sweet Garfield vs. Finkel Deckmaster Box!

I just unearthed my box o' Magic Cards that had been in storage for the better part of 18 years...I'll probably be selling off everything soon. Collection is mostly revised/4th and spans The Dark through Fallen Empires (with a bit of Legends floating around in there).
Checking the going rates on certain cards - it's amazing how much things have changed over the years. Cards that were impossibly sought after (Summon legends, Jester's Cap, Icy Manipulator, etc.) are now worthless, and things that were incredibly common (dual lands) seem to be selling for a mint. World's gone crazy.
-
played my second M15 draft yesterday...went 0-3, still getting used to the set.
-
They announced that Teferi is a planeswalker again in the new Commander set.
and then they showed the card and now I am convinced Wizards is a bunch of f*cking slowtards.
-
The new Commander sets being mono-colored is a bad idea. They could have reprinted the filter lands but most definitely won't at this point. Not in that product, that is!
I don't hate the new layout of M15, something which bugged other people. The change from old frame to new frame was shocking to me (post-Masques), but the M15 layout change is minor.
A set I'm skipping altogether.
-
played my second M15 draft yesterday...went 0-3, still getting used to the set.
I'm still getting used to drafting it as well.
The first time that I drafted it, I drafted mono-blue humans with an Obelisk of Urd and the blue Paragon. The deck actually wasn't that bad (with like 7-8 humans), but it just couldn't 'get there'. I went 2-2, I believe.
For my 2nd time drafting M15, last week I drafted blue/black for the first 2 packs, and I probably could have had agreat deck, but for pack 3, I first-picked Chandra, and she seduced me over to red. I drafted 7 total red cards in pack 3 to go with my 2 random red cards that I had picked up in the first 2 packs, so I ended up with 9 red cards (which were actually all playable :shock: ). I was very evenly split with about 10 playables in both blue and black, and like 4-5 playable artifacts. I had a difficult time choosing which colors to play. I REALLY wanted to play Chandra, and I had ended up with several really good red cards - Lightning Strike, Scrapyard Mongrel (with my 4-5 artifacts), and others. I ended up going with blue, because I had a Glacial Crasher, and it's really a relevant card if Mountains are being played. I went 2-0 for my first 2 games, then won game 1, then got majorly mana messed over in both games 2 and three. For game 2 on the play, I kept a 5-lander on the play, since both spells were very relevant cards, but then I drew 4 more lands in a row to lose to my opponent's aggro draw. For game 3 on the draw, I had to mulligan a no-lander to keep a 6-card, 2-lander hand. Then, I never drew my 3rd land until turn 5 to lose again. :evil: For Round 4, I lost game 3 to mana messover again to finish 2-2 again. At least my consolation pack gave me a Soul of Ravnica. I really enjoy this game, but it sure seems that there should be a way to reduce variance a little in regards to land flood/drought.
I'm hoping to play Standard this upcoming FNM, but maybe I'll draft again.
-
^ yeah, i find red to be the strongest in this set when it comes to drafting. I played MTGO last night and i thought i crafted a good deck(ill post it later when im home) Had resolute angel, and spectral ward, but just couldnt get the wins. Most of my games were pretty close though. I ran a W/G deck that was supposed to be aggro, but i wasn't getting the draws i needed, and without a raise the alarm, or triplicat spirits i just lost to faster decks.
-
Anyone play at M15 Game Day this weekend? I took 1st place at my local store with Naya Superfriends. I was surprised that the champion playmat didn't have Garruk on it. I think I'm gonna make the infinite turns shenanigans deck for next week's FNM.

^ my brother went and took 5th at his game day event

I actually like the new card face but I've always disliked the change on artifacts. They were best when they looked brown.

yeah artifacts look horrible now.
-
Got my old card set unearthed finally - I actually went through every single card and sorted them by release, alphabetically (lots of Unlimited/Revised, all the way through Homelands)
My plan was to sell everything off, since there is zero chance I will ever play this game again. But I gotta tell you - I got real damn nostalgic looking at all of those cards and I had to refrain myself from picking up a Magic 2015 starter kit at Target, heh. Reminded me of how addictive that game was when it came out.

Funny I found this thread, I've been sorting through my old Magic cards the last few days. My initial plan was to sell some of them off, but I'm not sure if I can; there's just too much nostalgia.
I started playing right after Ice Age came out, most of my cards are 4th / Ice Age. I kept playing until around 98. Last Christmas I bought an M14 starter deck for a friend who I used to play with in the 90s, and one for myself. We never got around to playing though..
Some memories:
[ul][li]Getting a Beta Mox Emerald for Christmas, but returning it because it was heavily played. ](*,)[/li][li]Going into a Comic store around 98 and buying a pack of The Dark they'd found between a shelf and the wall, opening it and getting a Maze of Ith.[/li][li]Spending countless hours designing unconventional decks, ~2% which weren't terrible.[/li][/ul]
I barely have time to Obey at the moment, much less time to get back in to Magic, but some day...
-
Oh man..i just saw this thread. I used to play this alot too. My fav format is commander. I haven't played in a year or so but its really big here in las vegas, we have over 14 stores that carry mtg and hold tournaments.

Just sold the whole shebang on eBay for about $500 total, which honestly is probably about how much I spent on the game as a kid in total.
I had no clue Dual Lands were worth so much. Holy crap. I remember as a kid we used to get PISSED when our rare card in a booster was a dual land, which in hindsight is hilarious. We all wanted that Lord of the Pit, baby!

The only dual land I have left is a Revised Volcanic Island. About 7 or 8 years ago my mom was clearing stuff out of my room and took my cards to a store to sell them. The store wasn't buying cards at that time, but the guy working was nice enough to price all the rare cards for her.
He put $15 on the Volcanic Island, last check they're going for around $250. Thank god she didn't sell it.

I play magic a little bit in high school but was never big into it. I still have quite a few cards(did some trading a years ago for them). I need to dig them out and see if anything is in there. This past year I actually bought some new cards to play with my son.

I remember when dual lands were worth $5 and we would trade our extras for a BK meal. lol

I traded a freaking Time Walk at a tournament once for a pair of Vesuvian Dopplegangers, Berserk, and a Legends Carrion Ants. Which at the time was actually a solid trade!

I've noticed this too, certain cards that used to cost a lot are now cheap and vice-versa. For example, 4th Carrion Ants was worth a few dollars back in 95, now it's going for around 20 cents.
Is this because they printed a lot of them in later series, because they were banned from play, or just a fickle market?
