[TheDogWho]

So...

Champs of Kamigawa is cool.
Anyone else think so?

[Nick Presta]

I used to play 6th and 7th series, but now I don't play at all.

I used to have a sexy goblin/zombie deck. It > j00.

[Mycarayne]

I liked Kamigawa due its ties to samurai's etc

[Dullahan]

Kamigawa is full of rats! Rats are the creme de la crap of magic creatures. Those spirits look nasty though.

i need that world championship deck with the goblins, so i can get 4 piledrivers and make my goblin deck truely godly.

[Mycarayne]

heh heh, Im gonna make a samurai deck, cant say how good it'll be though

[TheDogWho]

Goblins rule...
Mmm... War Strike...

[Valistrix]

I don't like em, too much like Yu-Gi-Oh which wasn't good in my opininon.

[ForteGX]

Magic was really popular at my school for about a year. Unfortunately, I never really caught on to the game. :lol:

[Mycarayne]

Mine is the opposite problem, I'm really into it but noone plays it at school *sigh*. Anyway... whats everyones favourite cards? Pick one from each color if you want.
Mine are:
Kilnmouth Dragon (Legions)
Broodstar (Mirrodin)
Glissa Sunseeker (Mirrodin)
Konda, Lord of Eiganjo (CoK)
Tatsumasa, the Dragon’s Fang (CoK)
Disciple of the Vault (Mirrodin)

What does everyone else like?

[Mycarayne]

Beh, Im gonna get done for double posting again, but I think anyone who cares would like this:

http://jupiter.walagata.com/w/memories/mia3.jpg

No it is not real, it's a fake. *Thank you memories remain for gracing our wonderful site with such a cool pic* Your welcome. C'mon ForteGX, please dont bust me...

[TheDogWho]

S'cool.
Did ya know?
There's a card called 'Kiku'.

[Valistrix]

How about next time try editing it into your post, i'm sure ForteGX might forgive you, just don't do it again.

[Kikuichimonji]

Kiku? O_O

anyway, maybe I should try it, I've heard it's better than yu gi oh which was crap in my opinion

I guess I lost interest in the trading card sector after pokemons demise hehehehe

[Mycarayne]

Meh, ok. No more double posting for a while... ^_^ anyway, you guys wanna see more Golden sun-magic cards? Just give us time to locate decent pics and i'll stick'em in

You have it wrong, Magic was here before Yu-gi-oh, therefore Yu-gi-oh is too much like Magic. ^_^

Magic rocks, forget the other card games which try to better it, Magic is and will always be the best card game ever.

I have a kick arse Red Deck, those direct hit cards are nasty...

[Mycarayne]

Heres another MTG card that I made.

http://jupiter.walagata.com/w/memories/garet2jpg.jpg

[Dullahan]

aren't these somewhat overpowerful, there's some funny gulf war and ff10 cards on the net somewhere.

My favourites of colour are

Red:Shivan Dragon
Green:Kamahl, Fist of Krosa
Blue:Ambassodor Laqautus
Black:Avatar of Woe
White:Jareth, Leonin Titan
Artifact:Mindslaver
Land:Yavimaya Hollow

[Mycarayne]

Im making alot lot of FFX cards also. Ahhh... plagorism...

Yeah, they are a bit powerful, I said that to myself whn I was making them...

edit: my favourite land is cloudpost

[TheDogWho]

Jareth basically has Bushido 7, except for not when he gets blocked.

[Mycarayne]

Konda has Bush 5, and is indestructable, and doesnt tap to attack. beat that. *it has the word broken all over it*

[Dullahan]

Jareth is unblockable effectively for a plains, i don't like white anyway.
Green Kamahl now there's a card, he's feared like death itself in our multiplayer games.

[Mycarayne]

ok, so jareth is hell strong (just looked him up). I never use white cards either, in fact I dont even have any white mana to use them in the first place.
And While Kamahl is definelty cool, strong and effective, there are better

[TheDogWho]

Magistrate's Veto is fun...
But more fun is the Unglued set.
It's a joke set...
A new one, Unhinged, is own in UKland on 20 Nov.

[FlyingCow]

so I see some one decided to revive the topic

:huh: I have absolutely no idea as to what became of mine.....

As to say Yu-Gi-oh and ALL the other ripoffs of magic suck, in my opinion that is.

The new set; Kamigawa is... well meh,(since all rare cards are legends, the new legend rule kills it) The most powefull set I have seen would have to be the Mirodin Block; it's artifacts pwn all.


BTW: all of u need to stop comparign the ripoffs with magic(for real) magic is a lot deeper and more starategic(not to mention fun) then the other ..... stuff.

[Dullahan]

you want to see his strength with 4 Mirari's Wake and 3 Vernal Bloom in play, tapping a forest gives 8 green mana! as well as +4/+4 on your creatures, then attacking with a +60/+60 trample horde, use a flaring pain and nothing can withstand it.

Nice, Nice, but listen to this:

Say you have Myr Incubator, Megatog with Kusari-Gama equipped, 2x DotV's out and hardly any artifacts in play. You have the Proteus Machine prancing around beleiving he is a Locus, which is good news for two Cloudposts you have out. It's your turn. You use the Incubator to filter out every artifact in your deck, put them in play and you now have (for example) 8 1/1 Myr to play with. Heres the fun. Megatog decides he has a belly ache and decides to have a snack. Those 8 myr are now off to metal heaven while your Megatog is quite satisfied with himself and gets a comforting +24/+24 and trample. But now he's is angry that he's eaten all your artifacts, so he decides to go on a rampage, and since he his favourite toy, the Kusari-Gama (From the Kamigawa set) he decides to not hit one blocker, but every single one. Now, if anything survived that hit, your opponent deserves to win, but of course nothing did, so heres whats next: Remember those two Disciples you had out, and how you sac'd 8 myr? Well they are now prepared to launch there oh so powerful 16 damage blast at your opponent. Bit late, your megatog just cleaned him up... Very fun. Very Do-able

I beleive that this is better. Since 60/60 is a little over the top, in my opinion. Im not saying your combo is bad because it rules, I love it, but I think my combo thingy is better.

[Dullahan]

that is a damn good combo, it can't beat the best though, Squirrel Nest linked with Opposition, laugh increasingly evilly as your opponent has an increasing number of tapped permanents. Get an Earthcraft and its infinite squirrels, which becomes infinite mana with a gaea's cradle, which means infinite kamahl pump ups or mirari copies of that acorn harvest you just played. I can only go as far as the squirrels and opposition. Use your squirrel nest to make sqiurrel tokens which you tap with opposition to tap either your opponents land or blockers (or in later game both) counter ANYTHING that would stop this combo, and use Phantom Centaurs to go in for the kill (black users are buggered). My squirrel deck is based on the world championship one(2002) and NEVER loses. infact the people i play with refuse to play it.

Another combo which requires a good hand a bit of luck.

TURN 1

Play forest, play elvish pioneer, play mountain

TURN 2

Play Mountain, Play Dragon Speaker Shaman

TURN 3

Play Mountain, Play Shivan or Two-Headed Dragon

FOLLOWING TURNS

Play more dragons and proceed to maim opponent with ones in play.

This combo works as i do it alot especially against the helpless pure green deck of the players i play

[Mycarayne]

You want a nice tap combo? *Ahem*

Yosei, the Morning Star + Yosei, the Morning Star + Lifeline

Play Yosei. Play a second Yosei. They both look at each other, then die from embaressment that they are wearing the same dress. Oops! Tap 10 things and make someone skip their next untap.
But wait! Lifeline brings them back at end of turn. They look at each other, then die from embaressment that they bought the same shoes. Oops! Tap 10 more things and skip your next next untap.
But wait! Lifeline brings them back at end of the NEXT turn. They look at each other and die again, tapping 10 more and making them skip ANOTHER untap. Repeat every turn for no extra charge.

Reproduced with kind permission of someone I know.
Sure as hell I dont have two yosei's...

[~RangerOfFire~]

My favorite card is Akroma, Angel of Wrath

My white deck would pwn you. (it has 3 kill everything except lands cards, 3 nasty creatures [akroma included] and some other stuff I forgot)

I stopped playing around Legions.

http://nico730.free.fr/Legions/Blanches/akroma.jpg

[Mycarayne]

And what makes you think you would pwn me? I'm currently running a sac deck where Mirrodins artifacts would crush akroma like a bug. Actually come to think of it... I only have a black/ blue deck and a red deck... so yeah, Akroma would ace me. "Cept if I got broodstar out "Has Power and toughness equal to the number of artifacts you control" and in a deck with about 60% artifacts, so your looking at an approximatly 15/15 flyer. Equip it with a Kasuri-Gama, and if it gets blocked, and Akromes blocking also, Bye-bye Akroma... Mwahahahahahaha

I hate that card, it has the word broken all over it...

PS: Since you stopped playing in Legions, you probably have no idea what the hell I was just talking about. lol

no offence but my goblin deck would piss all over your deck, so what you've got akroma your dead before you play it, if you do play it i'll finish you off with burn.
Threshold and Beatdown decks would maul it aswel deal, with a small army on turn 4, or blastoderms, lots of blastoderms. As for blue decks they can "borrow" it, bribery is effective enough.

the king of combos is upheavel psychatog.

STEP 1

Have upheavel and psychatog in hand by turn 10

STEP 2

Have 8 lands in play

STEP 3

Counter or bounce or kill any problems

STEP 4

Have 8 lands, DO NOT PLAY ONE THAT TURN, tap up your land adding 8 to mana pool.

STEP 5

use 6 mana on upheavel, LEAVING A SWAMP AND ISLAND in your mana pool.

STEP 6

play a land , tap it, use your mana on playing psychatog, end your turn.

STEP 7

opponent unable to do anything due to lack of land.

STEP 8 discard hand for Psychatog, then remove graveyard, attack with Psychatog, opponent dies and is very angry.

To make this combo completely fool proof, play upheaval when you have nine lands, put three in your mana pool for the tog, play an ISLAND, if your opponent thinks he can save himself with a fog or 1 mana creature to block the tog simply counter it will circular logic's madness cost, and considering they spent their one mana on the spell they can't pay and lose.

[Mycarayne]

Akroma isnt as good as shes cracked up to be. Sure she's OK, but she CAN be beaten, shes not like "invincible". You reckon Ixidor would of just made were with protection to everything, not just red and black. lol, but thats coming from someone who hasn't read the book.

[DarkSquall]

akroma is not invincible, true BUT alot of people hav goblin decks which are useless against her..and even if she attacks once or twice in the game, it could completely turn the tables (especially since most goblins arent flying and she cant be blocked by them even if they could).

Akroma has always worked well for me..but she costs soooomuch mana, it sometimes goes againts some of my strategy for each particular mathc to play her. Thats why i have my dangerous cleric deck (laugh it up) but when you have some blue pathfinders and huge amounts of clerics out with some vile deacons..its major scary damage.
ive done 57 damage in one round using this deck, and I could have gotten way more but i already knew i would wion so I just killed the guy off instead of torturing him.

oh and Ixidor wasnt choosing what she was...it was more like he just saw her and then she was there...its not like he was making a magic card (for example) and puttin down all her stats n stuff..and anyways..if she was immune to all she would be so rare only bill gates would have 1.

Black Clerics are heaps better than white ones. Thats what I think. Speaking of rare cards, who has a Black Lotus? Theres a $3000 AUD and some card.

[Dullahan]

i've a lotus petal but not the lotus itself.

Akroma IS not difficult to deal with.

Black can just use Chainer's Edict. bye bye.

Red can kill everything

Green will just laugh at or ignore it (Thorn Element with numerous giany growths) or just wing snare

Blue will steal it with bribery or consfiscate and the like

White will use several first strike blockers which are considerabley pumped up.

Artefacts hello Predator Flagship

basing a deck around her is just stupid.

the only deck she goes into is black reanimation

[TheDogWho]

The Unhinged previews at www.wizards.com/magic are so funny...
My favorite is....
Enter the Dungeon

[Mycarayne]

My Favourite vis Gleemax... it costs a million mana, and lets you control all spells and abilities. (its an artifact, so tinker it)

[TheDogWho]

Eight words: Fist of Suns, Gleemax then Rush of Knowledge (On your opponent)

[Sea of Time]

All these combos! *head spins*

Well, Kamigawa is an okay set, but they made a lot of weak legends which are insults to the legends name! I look forward to Unglued, another stupid set. Sequel to Unhinged. I still play, but I don't buy as much anymo.

[Mycarayne]

You look foward to Unglued, yet it was released years ago? And its the sequel to unhinged? Maybe you should do some research.

[Dullahan]

what the hell is gleemax?

as for a favourite it's probably Birds of Paradise for everyday use, although counterspell is great so is shock.

[Mycarayne]

It costs a million mana, and you decide all targets for all spells and abilities. I'll go get a pic for ya.

Edit: heres the pic

[Dullahan]

i suppose you need an infinite mana combo or something that puts it straight into play.

[Mycarayne]

"Tinker"Works nice, or most cards from scourge that rely on high mana costs...

[Dullahan]

isn't that combo a bit risky then, what if your rush of knowledge is sent back at you?

you can't use gllemax to change the target if there's nothing else to deflect.

there are instants that make your graveyard your library aren't there, just discard your large hand.

Gleemax doesn't seem all that useful, it effectievly needs adck built around it, just a fun artefact like Mindslaver.

Gleemax on your side of the field lets you choose the targets of ALL spells.
Also...
Mox Lotus is good for paying it's mana cost.

[Mycarayne]

why pay for it? There are heaps of other things to do with it. (Abuse it's mana cost)

Try infernal genisis + and vampiric tutor... Very cool. a million critters...

[TheDogWho]

Yup, sounds fun...
But I just realised Rush of Knowledge isn't 'Target player draws' it is 'Draw'. So you draw 1,000,000 cards.
*cries*
Not fun...

[Mycarayne]

But you choose the person who draws don't you?

if not, just dont have it in your deck...

Dont you base decks around a card/ a few cards? Peh, i do it all the time, especially on Apprentice.

[Dullahan]

no my decks works work around a THEME not a CARD.
my threshold deck does not focus on getting to threshold and beating up the opponent with Krosan Beasts, it gets to threshold then slaughters with Werebears, Nimble Mongoose, Seton's Scout and Krosan Beast. The only single cards in it are Laquatus (to get to threshold, then deck opponent) and Kamahl(to break through stalemates). The with my goblin deck it has many ways of winning, burn to death, swarm of goblins, swarm of goblins with coat of arms, goblin goons, shivan dragon/dragon roost (depending on opponent).

as a general rule theme decks are much better than ones based around single cards.

[Mycarayne]

yeah, i spose your right. I guess you could say I that I construct decks around a card, and other cards that are similay, thus creating a theme.

[Dullahan]

"of course i'm right, i'm always right, i'm rex banner"
-Rex Banner, the Simpsons(the beer baron)

haven't played for a while though, need world tournament deck for piledrivers, imagine the destruction, slow and blue decks will dead in turns.

[Mycarayne]

I wanna make a deck built that annoys your opponents to the max. But, I dont have that many annoying cards, so Im gonna have to make it up...

[TheDogWho]

My mate has a deck that is very annoying...
Stupid Link Don't Work.

[FlyingCow]

if you whant an enoyign deck play White/Blue/artifact

Artifacts are wery anoying specialy when you combo them with Darksteal forge.

[Mycarayne]

Yeah, i was thinking blue and artifact. Heaps of countering, and lots of control: The key to annoyance.

[TheDogWho]

My friends deck was basically...
A Give Your Opponent Stupid Creatures Deck
Stupid creatures like...
Ebon Drake, Rust Elemental and Leveller.

[Sea of Time]

I'm trying to get a hold of one of dems Darksteel Forge's. I have soo many good artifacts that would be unstoppable when indestructible. MUHAHAHAHA!

[TheDogWho]

If you have £3, buy it from here.

[Dullahan]

blue swap my crap creatures for your mostrousites deck are funny.

cards like Cultural Exchange work well.

Other annoying cards, confusin in the ranks and Theieves Auction.(even though their red)

NOTE: using theives auction in a mulitplayer does not make you very popular, do you know how long it takes to distribute everything?

[Mycarayne]

yeah, theives auction is soo annoying....

[TheDogWho]

I want a Goblin Caves... It's really old but kicks.
Enchant Land - If enchanted land is a Mountain all Goblins get +2/+0. Get 2 and that's like permanent Fists of the Anvils on all your Goblins...
Hehehe.

[Ravenblade]

wow i havent played Magic in ages...

you guys probably all use the new sets..i was playing when Prophecy and invasion were going (anyone else here did that?)

I used to have a monoblue deck with no creatures at all. I think it had maybe three permanents.

[Mycarayne]

Thats the way to go. The odds of winning lower a little, becaue you have no blockers (Obviously) You have to count on having the right counter spell or something. I think I'll go make one. I'll post the deck list later.

[Ravenblade]

yeah great idea!!!

i used to kill people off with sorceries like traumatize which cuts peoples deck in half (when used with Mirari - devastating)

and then it was a process of casting evacuation and returning it to my hand over and over (with inspriations being cast on the enemy library) until they drew out.

[Mycarayne]

one word: ouch.
Thats gotta hurt, heaps. I like it.

[Renagade Sol]

what is that game......and can someone hook me up???

[Ravenblade]

its a card game...although they have made games about it too...

if you go into forbidden planet perhaps - if you ever heard of it they sell them

[TheDogWho]

Owie...
I got big goblin deck.
Around half of my cards gone...
That means like 50:50 chance my decent cards will be down the toilet.

[Dullahan]

Goblin caves is f***** brilliant what set is it in?

Mirari is great fun (yes i do have it), things to copy traumatize, saproling symbosis, lobotomy, peach garden oath etc.

[Ravenblade]

i tend to find that whenever i get miarai in play i have to waste a lot of counter spells keeping it there^^

i used to have tidal krakens in my deck which are 6/6 unblockable, but i took them out in the end as preserving them and mirari was too great a challenge.

[Dullahan]

and the set of gobin caves?

[TheDogWho]

Dullahan, on Dec 6 2004, 11:20 AM, said:

The Dark. It's kinda like re-he-ally old.
Also, another decent combo for Goblins, a Goblin Lackey with a Viridian Longbow. Tap it to deal one damage to your opponent and put a Goblin from your hand into play.

[Mycarayne]

You know what a good card is? Disciple of the Vault. And you know what goes with viridan longbow? A poisoning thing and Pemmin's Aura. If you have an extra 10 islands lying around, you win. Simple as that

[Ravenblade]

does anyone have any of the unglued set?

hehehe - some of those are very funny ^^

"ultimate nightmare of wizards of the coast customer service"

or "chaos confetti"

[TheDogWho]

Unhinged (Unglued II) is out now.

[Ravenblade]

and presumably still not legal in any of the tournaments?

[TheDogWho]

Nope. It's just purdy funny.
But my Goblin Lackey combo is failing. I can't find a place to get a Lackey.

[Mycarayne]

Yeah Gleemax is the Icing on the cake.

[Dullahan]

goblin lackey, isn't that in the urza block?

i wanted some of those

[TheDogWho]

Think it's in Urza... but I not sure.

[Dullahan]

haven't played in a while, but that's because no one will play me, i'm still interested although the new sets seem pretty crap.

[TheDogWho]

Let's have a discussion...

Best 3 One Mana Card:
Lightning Bolt - Like Volcanic Hammer but cheap and old
Isamaru, Hound of Konda - Savannah Lions was good but this is better
Goblin War Strike - As or more effective as Lava Axe but cheaper

Best 3 Two Mana Cards:
Shatter - Quick and effective
Isochron Scepter - Repeated cheap instants
Enter The Dungeon - Most Comedy Ever

Best 3 Three Mana Cards:
Ronin Houndmaster - Decent creature
Ghitu War Cry - Power as big as your mana pool
Blood Moon - Brilliant with Goblin King

Most are red but hey... my deck is red.

[Mycarayne]

A new Favourite of mine: Elvish Night party. a 12/12 for 6. With no catches. Except that you have to use it at 12 o'clock. meh

[Somia]

I just knew about this game last year.

[Ravenblade]

its a really good game actually and has prompted many rip offs of it. I enjoyed my time playing it but as a student i cant really afford it now

[Dullahan]

i'll continue this discussion

Best 3 One Mana Card:
Lightning Bolt - have to agree with you there
Birds of paradise- the best mana producer.period.
Basking Rootwalla- 0 mana that can become 3/3 need i say more

Best 3 Two Mana Cards:
Wild Mongrel - 2 mana 2/2, beef up, colour changing, adds to threshold, lovely combo with roar of the wurm, man i love this card
counterspell - the bane of non blue players
goblin piledriver - this guy is evil

Best 3 Three Mana Cards:
Anurid Brushhopper - 3 mana 3/4 thank you very much
goblin warchief - this speeds my goblin deck alot, 1 mana goblin goons
Arrogant wurm (madness cost)- key to any madness deck

Best 4 mana Cards
Krosan Beast-4 mana 8/8. yum.
goblin goon- one of these is enough to win a match, my deck has 4.
can't think of another

[TheDogWho]
