Magic: The Gathering -- Vampires, zombies and werewolves! (Oh My!)

[illisid]

well I'm just talking about casual. I also dont even remember what the other swords were, I was bored of it by then :P

[kickan]

FFFFFFFFFFFFFf

I'm not going to lie

most of the reason I stopped playing in the first place was the utter un-fun brokenness of Mirrodin. Admittedly Urza's BLANK was broke as shit, but at least it was broke with ridiculous combos.

I don't see how this is relevant to the new set. Which has completely different cards in it. And a much better design/development team.

And years of continual power creep to cap.

I love the new 1/1 R goblin. Get's +2/+0 for every equipment on it and gets trample. Combine that with the new 1 colorless axe that's 1 to equip and at's +2/+0 we get a 5/1 with trample for 3 mana. hehe. Gonna be fun


I CAN COUNT DAMMIT!

Try it with Adventuring Gear and Fetchlands, if you have them.

i do. And this combo makes me want to rebuild my goblin deck.

I'd have to break down part of my RU deck for it though.....

[illisid]

Alright in all honesty who here has never made a goblin deck? It's like one of the rules, at some point you have to make a goblin deck.

Also Elves.

[illisid]

Also Elves.

We'll call it either/or. You have to build one. (I have never built an elf deck, though I do have a warrior deck with lots of elvish tribals.)

[Kuraiou]

I made a tribal deck for every single tribe in lorwyn/shadowmoor. Oh yes. Fairies forevah :3 (I had a fun CLEARLYNOTLEGAL deck that had no real combos, but lots of pseudo-tribal synergy between lorwyn, time spiral, and some ravnica stuff (bitterblossom, paradox haze, essence warden, wolf-skull shaman, oona's blackguard, marsh flitter, Nath of the Gilt-Leaf, and a few more elf token-makers.)

[Fix It Jones]

I built both but I prefered Elves.

Just loved churning out and then doubling my Elf tokens almost every turn. And Jagged-Scar Archers

[illisid]

My tribal decks are all weird. I have warriors, druids (currently in love with that one, recently changed it to be awesome), a weird goblin deck, knights, a FAST zombie deck (also in love with that), and a saproling deck. I'll post the list for the druids tomorrow, it's a fun combo deck.

[Kuraiou]

saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaprooooooooooooooooliiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing

man I remember having a thallid deck back when fallen empires was new-ish still

man

thallids used to suck

but night soil was the shit

[Leaf]

thallids used to suck

What do you mean "used to"?

I never got into the whole Tribal thing... I guess because I didn't like Scourge too much.

The closest think to a tribal deck I ever had was a mono-white weenie deck - it had a lot of soldiers.

When my friends were still churning out Gobos and Elves, I was sitting nice and pretty with a few dudes being pumped by a Glorious Anthem and Crusade. Had a nice bit of spot removal as well... Comdemn and StP are nuts.

Now, I guess now it'd be Path and StP.

[illisid]

or path and condemn, if StP = swords to plawshares? That card is ooolld.

Night soil? Try Necrogenesis. My saproling deck still sucks but eh it's fun, especially in multiplayer when people don't pick on my until they really can't pick on me. And then someone plays an earthquake.

[Kuraiou]

nono it's a joke

because

between fallen empires and time spiral

there were no saprolings

so

I was referring to the fact

that I am old

and all my best magic memories are now behind me

(and I really liked time spiral)

(also necrogenesis is pretty neat, since mana is easier to come by than creatures in a graveyard, kind of weird that they would put that in shards of alara, I'm sad I didn't get it in any of my packs)

[kickan]

So, hey, Mindslaver's being reprinted.

[Fix It Jones]

Oh man, if you could see my face right now. This is just so great. My blue deck has been missing something and I think I just found it

[illisid]

I like the new art, but I've never really liked the card. It's just meh to me. Though a reprint was kind of obligatory. I would almost say they should reprint platinum angel, but they already have so.

It's been reprinted in Core Sets pretty much ever since Mirrodin, along with Darksteel Colossus, otherwise I'd say those were shoe-ins. Or at the very least, some kind of remake/reference to them. I'm a little surprised they outright reprinted Mindslaver, instead of a new card based on it, possible one that somehow manages to one-up it in terms of ridiculous/awesome control effect.

Edit: Speak of the devil.

[illisid]

That... Is much more sturdy than a platinum angel...

[Fix It Jones]

I LOVE IT!

[deathregis]

Well, that's just not true at all. I know for a fact that Invasion block, Ravnica block, and Nemesis all had saprolings, of the top of my head. No thallids, i think, but lots and lots of saprolings, like, all over the place. Ravnica in particular was very saproling heavy.

[Kuraiou]

e: yeah, I meant thallids. my bad.

I like how the Platinum Emperion is pretty distinctly NOT Platinum Angel -- in particular, it's got a different size, cost, no flying, and a very different ability that just happens to look very similar.

[Wesley Foxx]

Wait.

Look at the set icon.

Its a Common. :U

[kickan]

Um, no. It's Mythic Rare.

And there's a new Myr lord, too. I love Myr, so much. They are my bros.
