Forgive my nerdiness, but...(Now the MTG discussion topic)

[Chrome Homura]

Who else here plays Magic: The Gathering?
I have waited to make this topic until now out of boredom.
I play every week with my friends, what about you
pavilionites?

Re: Forgive my nerdiness, but...

I once got a set. Got tired of it real quick. No fun when there's nobody around to play with.

Re: Forgive my nerdiness, but...

Re: Forgive my nerdiness, but...

A friend of mine got me into Magic back in high school (1999). He bought me a couple decks. There's some card shops around here I could probably find people to play with but I never tried. I got Magic Online back when they were including it with game mags. I still haven't bought a virutal deck and all. I just play the free version with the prebuilt decks. I like Yu-Gi-Oh more than Magic though. I got YGO Online in Shonen Jump but I don't have broadband so I can't play it.

Re: Forgive my nerdiness, but...

There's this free program called Apprentice that lets you play Magic The Gathering online. There's a patch that makes it work with Yu-Gi-Oh too. Hell, probably a patch for the Pokemon too.

just do a google search for it.

Re: Forgive my nerdiness, but...

I play, every Friday at the very least. Just bought a zombie deck from a friend for $25, and it hits hard. Like, 10+ damage a turn. Woot.

I usually play just red and black, never together, but that will change on May 5th(my birthday), when the new set comes out.

Re: Forgive my nerdiness, but...

Back in 1993-1994, I was heavily into Magic. Spent like $300.00 on cards (alot for being in high school). Had a decent handful of friends that I could play with on a regular basis, including my high school girlfriend. Wow I forgot how much time i put into that game. I eventualy parted ways with all my Magic partners, And was unable to find new ones. my shoebox of cards has long since collected dust. Sad just thinking about it.

Re: Forgive my nerdiness, but...

Someone once try to get me into playing Magic before. Half way of him explaining the rules he turned blue... I guess because my head couldn't take it anymore and began choking him. Don't worry guys he is just fine, my point is I just thought their was too many rules and they hurt my head.

Re: Forgive my nerdiness, but...

I played it for a long time. I also tried to do it competitively, but I quit that eventually because I'm poor and it takes a lot of the $$$ to make a deck that can actually win.

My money is better spent on WoW anyway.

Re: Forgive my nerdiness, but...

I suppose, if anything, it's nice that the card game doesn't focus as much on collecting them all as Pokemon did. I stopped playing that one because it was costing too much money.

Re: Forgive my nerdiness, but...

Used to play, from Revised to whatever set had the Avatars (Mercadian Masques Expansion). I really didn't like all the new abilities you had to play ever sense Tempest came out with Shadow, so I quit.

I still have my White/Green deck which was Type II for the MM set. Ancestral Masque (+2/+2 per Enchantments in play on Creature) plus 18 other enchantments and a whole bunch of weenie creatures.

Let's just say a 81/81 Llanowar Elf at turn 6-8 or a 6/7 Flying Teathered Griffin on the second turn was pretty damn neat.

Re: Forgive my nerdiness, but...

I prefer making at least three goblins a turn by using Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker(makes a copy of a creature you control until end of turn) on Siege-Gang Commander(comes into play with three 1/1 goblin tokens), until I get about 15 or so, then playing Reckless One(power/toughness equal to goblins in play) and throwing Bravado on it(+1/+1 for each other creature), then next turn copying it with Kiki-Jiki and attacking with everything.

I hate Goblin decks.

Re: Forgive my nerdiness, but...

I have a deck full of shadow creatures. It has the benefit of ~3 turn kills. Dauthi Warlords rule.
