MTG

Post Reply New Topic

Are you a fan of Magic the Gathering? If so what brought you to it, what color do tend to rely on?
I started to play a few months ever since my local game store started to host free-play tournaments every Friday. I started by watching others playing, and then bought an intro pack to begin playing. I tend to play Green/White myself, and already find myself hating Blue.
I don't know if a topic was already made of this, but I wanted to know if anyone on WP played.

Yo o/ I'm a fan of MTG. Got brought into it after my brother introduced me to it. at the time i was getting tired of yu gi oh and it's repetitive style.

I'm a man of many tastes in the colours of magic, When it comes to my standard deck, I actually play a simic deck which is Blue and Green (hehehe) for obvious reasons, people don't like it when i draw take my turn and finish my turn with mana to spare (hint, counter spells and creatures that are big. ain't nothing stopping simic and its Rampaging badgers/Storm crows (hahaha, MTG joke, pay no attention to it)).
The thing is, I actually prefer to play EDH (the game mode where you play with a commander and a deck of 100 cards with only unique cards with the exception of basic lands) and it is currently a Black/Red Rakdos deck with Rakdos lord of riots as the commander. This means, if i attack with rakdos, the amount of damage i deal (with all attack creatures) is counted as a discount affecting colourless mana, meaning big artifact creatures, demons, dragons and devils are easy to get out on the field at the low cost of 4 mana.

Planning on upgrading to a Black/Red/White deck with an angel commander instead. Can't remember the name but she basically allows me to summon an Angel, Demon or Dragon free if she attacks meaning i get free spawns of rackdos and any other big creature after that. oh, not to mention, if i'm fed up with how the match is going, i'd have my choice of about 4 - 5 different mass annihilation spells to clear the board and start over cause as we all know, White and Black have a ton of removal while red burns your life away quickly.

quite new to it myself.
started 3 months ago, because a friend started aswell.
seems we both wanted to start mtg but didnt know about each other wanting to start.
mostly favoring white, liking blue for card-draw and flying and black for deathtouch and the effects that deal dmg and heal me.
one day i will make a deck with white, blue and black.
hm with military intelligence for carddraw, lots of flyers to get around the enemies blockers and black to kill his stuff.

i haven't played in a while. but i still would like too. the only problems i have are... no one in my fam is into this stuff, (video games, anime, card games other than euchre), i don't have friends (i live in a neighborhood where kids are school age and most of the adults are elderly) and i'd have to travel WAY to far for a comic shop that does weekly mtg tournies or whatever. plus, i'm 34 and people take a look at me and wonder why i ain't married with kids of my own by now. *sigh* stupid NT stereotypes!

but i have a worm deck. i'm faithful to it...even if 99% of the time it loses. LOL

undying ks on tokens? i always thought it doesnt

I used to play, and I still have a large collection of cards, but I lost interest a while back when I realized how slow of a player I am. I was never quite able to get up to speed with the people I played against. I played on and off for about 5 years.

i meant "undying works on tokens?" isnt undying only working if the card goes to the graveyard and through undying is then returned with a +1+1counter on it?
tokens do not go to the graveyard.

yes deathtouch is most of the time already enough

I've been playing MtG since 99 (yeah, Urza block is the best way to break into a game, lol).

On and off I played with friends and attended tournaments, participated in pro tour qualifiers and such, nothing really came of it though aside from a 1st place winnings at local tournaments (drafts and the occasional FNM event). But ever since my local store closed I haven't been attending any FNM events and such. Which is a shame, since I still have a fully functioning Soul sisters build for Modern sitting in a deckbox

However, I play Magic: online pretty much daily and somewhat competitive. I prefer Legacy and Modern over Standard (price is among the reasons why I prefer eternal formats of the "flavor of the week" format). I can enjoy Commander and Pauper from time to time and I'm quite a bit of a rogue deckbuilder I guess (not to be confused with the actual youtubechannel Rogue deckbuilder)

I have a fascination for combodecks (which means Legacy is the right place for me, right?) though I often pilot straight up mono-red Burn decks as well. Or Goblins. But I do most colors fine I guess; Death and taxes is such a fun deck. Oh and let's not even start on Dredge, it's playing a different game alltogether.

My favorite color, and thus favorite cards are all red. Perhaps add a bit of blue in it for shenanigans; I'm probably more Izzet aligned in that regard. Favorite cards of mine by far; Warp world, Grip of Chaos, Confusion in the ranks... and I guess honorable mentions go out to Mind's Desire and Eye of the storm.

Does anybody here play the DOTP games (for PC or Xbox 360)?

You can get MTG DOTP 2015 on sale just now, on XBL.
It's a good price.
