Magic the gathering

[pawz9]

Anyone here play Magic the gathering? If so what formats and what kind of decks do you play?

[Shoon]

i dont play much since lots cards is expencive for not playing that often but i have a ok deck of blue and white.

I used to play a LOT. But haven't since.... Crud I forget. I ADORE Classic Phyrexians from Invasion, Planeshift, and Appcalypse (and before), as well as Merfolk.

Oh. And a cruddy Vampire deck that never works lol

[Ventus Fall]

I do play now-and-again, still could use some help on my decks, as I realise they're not working sometimes xD
(*COUGH* They don't work most of the time *COUGH*)


I like the red+black deck I have, as I like something fast and effective, but I also have a green+red deck, and I also built a deck with boosters, and it's a water+black deck.
Haven't tried out the water+black deck though.

I used to be a semi-active player but now I rarely play due to lack of time and opportunity. I always played kitchen table Magic and never cared much for tournaments or drafts. I do have some pretty wicked decks though. My black/green aggro deck is probably my favorite and can very reliably get a Spiritmonger (boy do I love that card) out by turn 3. Vampire Nighthawks, Rancors, and Dark Rituals are the stuff my dreams are made of. Black is probably my favorite color overall and almost all of my decks at least have it splashed.


For the record I also run W/U control, suicide black, a fun U/R deck with Delver, and a U/B mill deck that is half proxies at the moment since it is being rebuilt.


B/G for life!

It's funny actually, magic was pretty much the card game that got me into card games but I got to a point where i was like donezos. If you asked about any other card game, the answer would be yes. Just not magic. Now when I did play I always played currently legal and my primary deck was fire/light. I had a thing for healing and blasting.

Aww. Now I wanna find my mers and Phyrexians. I miss them.

Old Phyrexians were waaaaay cooler, IMO. Er. They're all rad though.

I'm not alone!!

OH YES. This makes me happy! I got hooked on MTG all because of Phyrexians sooooo so long ago now. What was my first card in a booster? Phyrexian Driver and Rathi Intimidator I think. I love how awesome they were in story, appearance, and play. Oh man. And the Invasion, Planeshift, and Apocalypse novels were just as amazing as I had hoped they'd be from the cards. Yawgmoth consumed my heart throughout school.

Magic the gathering is life to me. All the lore, cards, and everything. I always have a deck on me (current flavor a Teysa, Orzhov Scion deck)

I've been really itching to start playing myself. It seems like it's really fun I've been playing the online game for a bit so I know the basics and stuff, and have been collecting some cards of my own too. I think I'd like playing a green/blue deck but I still don't have much experience. There's probably people at my school who play, and definitely at the game store I go to so I just need to work up the courage to ask them if I can try playing with 'em.

The whole old Phyrexian thing to me also sort of epitomizes old Magic vs new Magic. Take Phyrexian Negator, for instance. When that card came out it was amazing, even with that crazy drawback. Now it is something few people would ever consider using because the power curve has just shot up exponentially since it was released. The days where Tempest was new, which is when I started playing, are so much different than the environment now. The game is a lot more refined these days, that's for sure. I can't outright say that it is better though. Maybe just vastly different.

True. Games will evolve, and it kind of reminds me of things like mmos, oddly enough. With new expansions and such they have to increase level cap and item caps. I think that's why I got out of MTG for a long time, it felt like the new aspects and features made it a little bit of a mix of over complication, and yet too easy. But that could just be me being a stubborn jerk, I suppose.

Again, I feel the same that it's smoothed, but it doesn't necessarily mean best.

Am I the only one hoping for a return to Dominaria?

Am I the only one hoping for a return to Dominaria?

YES. Oh, I absolutely agree. I really loved all of the associated mythos and cards in Dominaria's time in the game. (And fiction. Again, I'm a sucker for the old novels)
