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

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

(jk)

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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:

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

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

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

basalt monolith.

o.g. magic >>>>>> numagic fuiud

for sure

ian do you wanna play irl sometime? I have zero cards. but I sorta want to go to this: http://www.theawl.com/2012/02/midtowns-magic-gathering

what is "vigilance"?

just a new name for the serra angel ability

i would go play in the magic midtown meetup or w/e. it seems okay. monday is a good day for me, at the moment, because i don't work late.
i have a few decks, we could share. there is a green/white and a black/blue and maybe a red/green as well..

but but but that's what made the serra angel so special.

all pretty much using cards from around revised/fourth edition/weatherlight era.

sorri 'm not maing ayny sense.

if i still have any dual lands not in decks i think i am going to trade them to the game store for Diplomacy or Settlers of Catan or something.

that was the golden age for me too

wanna go next week?

o.g. magic >>>>>> numagic fuiud

i like the look of the cards and general vibe of really old magic esp like arabian nights - antiquities and a/b/u but i didnt play magic in 93 and i dont really have the money to spend on those cards so

Lamp people actually play block constructed where you live?

it was just a one-off as far as i know but my friends and i play strictly block cuz we all p much stared playing/playing again w/innistrad
