MTG (magic) NERDS!

I played tempest block through onslaught block. I played type 2 and extended (i heard they aren't even called that anymore) and did a lot of drafts. Sold my cards when I fell out of it and bought a car and still had some left over. I wouldn't mind doing drafts still, don't need to prepare and they were always a blast.

Hah yeah they changed the names not that long ago, maybe a year or two ago. Type 2 is now just called Standard, and I believe Extended more or less became Modern.

I'm not in love with the current block set (Theros block--most really good drafters do not like it), but I'm unfortunately stuck with it for the next few months unless they do more throwbacks. There's too much variance in the set and it's too easy to "solve the format", so your skill level matters very little because any schmo can figure out what's the right card to pick.

I don't play MTG, but I do play Yu Gi Oh with my BF on occasion

every few years i get the magic bug and dig up my old decks. right now im inactive.

i would like to try out the new format, modern magic, but damn, some of the cards are expensive. 400 euros for a playset of tarmogoyf O_o

i have one competitive deck (if it is still competitive, i know new cards that can improve it have been printed). its the legacy enchantress deck, basically you do mana ramp with land enchants and then play a bunch of enchantments that really majorly screw the opponent, while setting up a card draw engine.

then you go into complete lockdown with solitary confinement and sterling grove.

At the beginning of your upkeep, sacrifice Solitary Confinement unless you discard a card.

Skip your draw step.

You have shroud. (You can't be the target of spells or abilities.)

Prevent all damage that would be dealt to you.

Other enchantments you control have shroud. (They can't be the targets of spells or abilities.)

{1}, Sacrifice Sterling Grove: Search your library for an enchantment card and reveal that card. Shuffle your library, then put the card on top of it.

its designed so that no other tournament deck has any chance of breaking the lockdown. so either the opponent wins really fast, or manages to screw me, or i win.

i also have an elf combo deck. when it goes off, you play a ton of elves and finish by removing summoning sickness, or by sacrificing them for 2 damage each.

maybe i should revive the hobby. i never sold my old cards, at least not the ones that are in decks, so i have some good stuff.

Yeah, I just started this year.
My little brother got me to pick it up again after I stoped when I was 14.

I don't really play unless I'm smoking and drinking then it entertains.
My brother does tournaments but that's too much nerd in one place.
Pretty fun game, probably one of the few games out there that can make me butt hurt when I lose.

I've played off and on since college. Most recently I ran selesnya mid range during M13. But decided to stop playing cause it got too expensive to keep up and I hate the new god cards. My little brother is playing elspeth creature less control deck and is doing fairly well with it. He does run 2 or 3 creatures in his sideboard though. Once in a blue moon I'll throw together a white weenie or something simple to play against him.

I played from Morningtide to Zendikar, which was a bit of a short span I suppose. I had fun with it and made a lot of really awesome unique combos, but the people I played with only wanted to net-deck, almost never making anything on their own, and I just didn't find that fun. When EDH started gaining traction as a popular format, I really got into that, but then Wizards made it an official play style and suddenly there were champion net-decks for them to copy again. /sigh

Just gotta build a deck to beat the net-decks specifically. Going way back, I still remember when psychatog upheavel and other control decks decks basically ran type 2. playing a similiar deck with a few upheavel counter specific cards and with shadowmage infiltrator/Ana Sanctuary "combo" as the kill cards left you with more cards, faster kill, and more control than them. Now the deck would fail against any sort of speed deck, but I went 8-0 at a tourney with it. I loved it when people would be like "I can't believe I lost to this" as ana sanctuary was considered a garbage card.
