lab maniac is not very good in limited, i drew really lucky to get it to work and was playing a b/w deck with almost no removal

i would really like to do an innistrad draft online w/ ilx mtg players. is such a thing possible?

Mordy, Monday, 30 January 2012 22:37 (twelve years ago) link

probably not, there's only like 5 or 6 of us and we'd all have to be online at once

frogs you are the dumbest asshole (frogbs), Monday, 30 January 2012 22:45 (twelve years ago) link

we would just have to draft together. we could schedule the games at our convenience

Mordy, Monday, 30 January 2012 22:47 (twelve years ago) link

sealed is 100x easier to coordinate but i'd be down for either

ciderpress, Monday, 30 January 2012 23:27 (twelve years ago) link

yeah I think coordinating a draft will be impossible but I'll do sealed

iatee, Monday, 30 January 2012 23:38 (twelve years ago) link

oh yeah, i assumed it would be sealed. i guess i didn't realize draft only meant w/ passing packs around.

so is there a way to coordinate that online?

Mordy, Monday, 30 January 2012 23:40 (twelve years ago) link

if there is a good sealed generator outside of the one that was included in magic workstation I have not found it

iatee, Monday, 30 January 2012 23:41 (twelve years ago) link

Wow, this thread really took off since the last time I posted in... 2003? Jeez. I never really stopped playing, but I'm happy to see more people into the game again. The last few sets have some of the best-designed cards in a long time and I guess it's not surprising they're hooking people.

http://ccgdecks.com/ is a decent place to do sealed if you don't feel like installing Magic Workstation, though the interface for building the deck is a little hard to manage. I end up doing drafts on that site too, those usually work out well.

Vinnie, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 01:27 (twelve years ago) link

i would play either draft or sealed with yall

what's awesome about that is that I have a buddy who looks EXACTLY LIKE that, to the point where he's able to convince people who don't play that he won some kind of contest and got to be on the card. i gotta post some pictures of this dude.

really excited cuz im playing a block constructed tournament tonight and i think im really, really happy with my deck

Lamp, Friday, 30 March 2012 22:03 (twelve years ago) link

did u include a lot of serra angel cards in it to head off MTG misogyny?

(jk)

Mordy, Friday, 30 March 2012 22:11 (twelve years ago) link

haha i totally do love angel cards and im psyched for the new block which seems like its gonna be angel heavy but im playing G/R undying

Lamp, Friday, 30 March 2012 22:29 (twelve years ago) link

was playing W/b/g tokens but post-ban thought id give something different a go

Lamp, Friday, 30 March 2012 22:29 (twelve years ago) link

i also love angels. white is my fave color by far. angels + white weenie just makes me so happy

Mordy, Friday, 30 March 2012 22:33 (twelve years ago) link

i made a Tenab the Harvester EDH deck recently (for when my MTG friends came to visit us from NY) but really i was just enthusiastic about playing the white cards (i do have some killer green moves too). maybe i'll make a white/green EDH deck. or mono white!

Mordy, Friday, 30 March 2012 22:34 (twelve years ago) link

whites my fave color too - ive been fucking around with a mono white legacy deck on cockatrice but itd be like $700 to build irl and not actually very good. i just want to run a bunch of stall enchantments like moat and castle and island sanctuary

Lamp, Friday, 30 March 2012 22:50 (twelve years ago) link

I think I figured out how to get cockatrice to work on my shitty old computer, we should play again soon

iatee, Friday, 30 March 2012 22:52 (twelve years ago) link

Lamp people actually play block constructed where you live?

new preview card

sure have come a long way since the days of Seraph. this thing is insane.

they already made a 'you win' card didn't you? eventually they'll just make it cost 2 blue mana or something

iatee, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 15:04 (twelve years ago) link

it's not even particularly playable in constructed though. a lot of the best removal exiles or -X/-Xes things, both of which get around indestructible. you can bounce it too

ciderpress, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 15:10 (twelve years ago) link

this is what a big angel with an ability that actually wins you the game looks like: http://magiccards.info/zen/en/13.html

ciderpress, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 15:13 (twelve years ago) link

yeah compared to Plat Angel and Iona it's pretty tame. but we're in the era of Unburial Rites now. if Iona and Unburial Rites were legal at the same time that would warp the format.

Iona is AMAZING. I played an EDH deck with her once and basically shut down the game once she came out.

Mordy, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 15:48 (twelve years ago) link

man... i just know i could never go down to the game shop w me shitty old decks and play this game. things done changed.

one dis leads to another (ian), Tuesday, 3 April 2012 16:00 (twelve years ago) link

Haha unburial rites was my first thought my second was that she protects virtue and orb from most removal

idk I think shell see some play in W/x tokens

Lamp, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 16:22 (twelve years ago) link

yeah it is amusing to look at the first four or so sets. because you think about Legends and Arabian Nights and you think about Library, Mana Drain, Nether Void, Tabernacle, Mirror Universe, all these insane Type 1 cards, then you look at the rest of the set and it's filled with stuff like this:

http://www.magicdeckvortex.com/cardpics/GOLD/lord_magnus.jpg

I remember going through the Arabian Nights spoiler list and realizing that there's really only ONE card in the entire set that they would print today, and it's Juzam Djinn.

guess that image didnt take. this is your typical Legends card:

there is something great about the innocence of it all

iatee, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 16:26 (twelve years ago) link

they didn't know the cards sucked! they really had no idea how badly the cards sucked

iatee, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 16:27 (twelve years ago) link

alpha has so many garbage rares but its practically a different game so it's sorta pointless to compare
