Members Dolf Posted July 22, 2009 Members Share Posted July 22, 2009 argh. im glad theres lots of interest in this thread, but you are all talking about really old cards and decks!whats everyone doing with more modern sets? conflux? shards of alara? m10?im a magic semi-noob so i dont know about alot of the older stuff. New {censored} is for ULTRA NEWBS. I'm still waiting for someone to release a competent MTG "videogame" (i.e. just a game that accurately represents how the actual card game is played...where you don't have to spend a hundred hours unlocking cards. Unlocking cards you already own FTMFL), Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members decode6 Posted July 22, 2009 Members Share Posted July 22, 2009 I'm buying a booster box online for 80 shipped so hopefully I get some of those new expensive dual-lands or a few Silences or maybe even a few Plainswalkers. I have this zombie deck that has Fleshbag Marauder and Gravepact in it, so when Fleshbag comes out everyone else automatically buries two creatures. It's fun to see my friend ditch a Progentitus.

Well, Thornling (Morphling Redux?) from Conflux is an absolute bomb for one. PS - If anyone has dual land or anything from Unlimited, drop me a PM. I would like to try completing my sets of each.

Members squareking Posted July 22, 2009 Members Share Posted July 22, 2009 Forced Fruition + Megrim + Underworld Dreams is how I roll unless I'm doing big green beatdown. A few Mind Funerals so people hate me and a few Wall of Denials for more fun. I'm constructing an uber-oldschool thallid deck now...newer stuff like Mycoloth will spruce it up a lot. I stumbled back into Magic after about 10 years. The 'new' style looks {censored}ing retarded to me. I wish they'd go back to the Urza's Saga/Odyssey look and layout. And M2010 is the worst.

Members letsgocoyote Posted July 23, 2009 Members Share Posted July 23, 2009 yeah the new borders suck. i miss blurry old lofi looking alpha/beta/unlimited printings. i used to have a book back in middle school about magic strategies and history about how richard garflied made the game and the playtesting. they made playtest cards out of regular decks of cards with the spells glued on. with hilarious graphics of ross perot and such Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members aude Posted July 23, 2009 Members Share Posted July 23, 2009 Wow, i still remember the days... I played from Exodus to Nemesis block. I don't keep up because it's been a long time since I last played and there's that much rules to learn and relearn. I still have my decks and my favorite is my land d. I love playing second turn land d. I got bored with playing that deck because most of my friends got annnoyed by it. So I just created a white weenie with Cataclysm/Enchanted Armor. I wish I could go back, but every time I pass by the cardshop near my house it's just full of nerds (no offense to anyone) and I just don't fit in anymore. There's so many things out there for me to do than play cards. Those days are over for me. But maybe if I meet someone who can play casually, I would love to do it.

Members germanicus2112 Posted July 23, 2009 Members Share Posted July 23, 2009 Had a time vault deck.Time vault + animate artifact + jandors saddlebags = infinitely your turn. The most fun was chaos orb. Mirror universe used with mana burning and a Tim was fun as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Volitan Posted July 23, 2009 Members Share Posted July 23, 2009 Takes me back to mid school. Way back. Twas fun, but it's just nerdy as hell, and doesn't get you laid. Music is the opposite, and I don't have time for both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dolf Posted July 23, 2009 Members Share Posted July 23, 2009 you mean the one they just released on xbox360?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/index.html?curid=15842171 You still have to play it for 100 hours to unlock cards. That sucks infinitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members squareking Posted July 23, 2009 Members Share Posted July 23, 2009 It is nerdy as hell and I'd never play in a tournament (although the gf has shown interest). We just play casually. She has a Lorwyn elemental deck I can't stand. you mean the black borders? No, I mean the older style. Like this: as opposed to this: the {censored} is that {censored}?
