How many of you ever played this?

I USED to have thousands of cards, now I have hundreds.

5000g to the first person to name what card the pic in my signature comes from.

after someone guesses, I'll tell ya all about the deck I use it in.

cheers.
 
Arcanis, the Opnipotent? Or something of that sort. I win the gil, just send it to my swiss bank account please. Lol. I don't play FF anymore so keep it.

Anyway, I used to play very often, had a ton of cards, now me and my buddys have all of our cards practically mixed together so no one really knows who's is who's. Meh, oh well, it was fun while we played..and there is that rare occasion where we play a game.
 
I used to kick some major ass w/ my Red and Black deck.....

which, now that I think about it- is sort of odd....since I play 61RDM/BLM, and 58BLM/RDM as my main ffxi jobs.... :twisted:
 
I use to play in college. I had a couple decent decks. Nothing too spectacular seeing as how I was never too lucky on the packs I bought, didn't have a ton of money being in college, and I didn't play competitively just with friends. I loved my artifact cards and snake pots.
 
I used to love that game... but it got boring.

And 8th edition and up looks dumb.
 
i played and quit that game too many times.. now i just play booster drafts cos its fun and cheap...
 
I used to play had like 750cards. Gave them to a friend, he plays newer generation cards. He's all like "Holy shit, these things are fricken antique, my friends are going to shit themselves" that made me laugh.
 
I have a few thousand cards all in binders in my closet. I started playing when the 'Visions' expansion was new, and I quit around the 'Invasion' set. I spent way too much money on cards. I went a little overboard.

I had fun playing in tournaments and with friends, but then all my friends quit, and I didn't have anyone to play with anymore. I still don't have the heart to get rid of any of them though!

I have like 14 seriously good decks still assembled ready for action. I've been out of the Magic loop for so long though, I don't know any of the new cards.

Arcanis_the_Omnipotchr.jpg


My favorite decks were my Anvil of Bogardan/Megrim deck, White Apocalypse, Black Weenie, Red Sligh, and the Tolarian Academy/Stroke of Genius/Timespiral deck.
 
Almost nothing could beat my Black/White Creature destruction deck. Then came the new articacts and affinity shit, so I got bored. Akroma for the win bitches!
 
I started playing when Stronghold came out, after that it was pretty fast and furious, I never had enough cards.

Lost interest around Urzas Destiny, and rarely play anymore.

I still keep an eye on whats coming out and new rules and stuff, and I will buy a booster pack on occasion, just cause it's fun.

Used to have some pretty good decks imo but always got my ass handed to me, I'll have to dig them up to know what exactly I had in them.
 
I have this one deck that I bought preassembled, and let me tell ya, it's no joke.

Black Red, mainly goblins.

A couple of cards that stand out in my mindare...

Gablin Sharpshooter 2R
Goblin Sharpshooter does not untap during your untap Phase.
When ever a creature goes to the graveyard from play, untap goblin sharpshooter.
t:Goblin sharpshooter deals 1 Damage to target creature or player.

personally, I think this card is broken, but it's my best friend when I have an army of 1/1s comin at me.

Then there is:
Goblin Piledriver 1R
Whenever Goblin Pildriver attacks, it gets +2/+0 for each other goblin that is attacking.


when you have 10 goblins attacking, and 2 of em are pildrivers, the other guy is pretty much fucked.

What are some of your Favorites?
 
I remember a "squirrel deck" a buddy of mine pulled on me, by the time 6 rounds were over, he had over 20 +8/+8 squirrel tokens and like 6 squirrel cards out to get me as an insult ; ; (he didn't attack until he had 20+ creatures out)

I'm gonna have to look through my old deck, I think it was pretty decent for a multi-colored deck (I never could pick just one or two ^^; )
 
I have a card that makes theme creature decks rule the world.

It's an artifact, don't remember the name. here is what it does
5
Each creature in play recieves +1/+1 for each other creature in play that shares the same creature Type.


if you have 10 1/1 Goblins, they are 10 10/10 goblins instead.

That shit destroyed me in a game with my friend today.

he has a Card that is a 7/7 worm and when it enters play. it brings 7 1/1 insect tokens with it. But he had that artifact out, so it was 7 7/7 insects.
So in a way, he cast 8 7/7 creatures for a grand total of 3 mana + the 5 to put the artifact out.
Reanimator decks suck ><
 
Magic

I loved MTG, and still play it to this day. >_> I have over ten thousand cards, yet only use about 200 of them at any given time. <sigh> And now that I just moved, there is nobody to play with!

(woe is me ^^)

Reanimator decks suck ><

the card is "Coat of Arms"
"each creature gets +1/+1 for each other creature of the same type."
Costs 5

However, there is a HUGE drawback to that card.
your opponent gets the bonus too :wink:

and the card your friend was Symbyotic Wurm, but it only brings the 7 1/1 tokens when it DIES.

Reanimator decks Pwn j00.

Turn 1, Swamp, Entomb somthing big and mean, or to be REALLY mean, a Dragon type.
Turn 2, Mountan, Entomb again, probably an Anger
Turn 3 Doomed Nectromancer, attack for 2 if opponent has no blockers.
Turn 4 Burried allive for a Visara the Dreadfull, Bladewing the Risen, and probably a Phantom Nishoba. pop the Necromancer, targeting Bladewing the Risen, who brings the OTHER dragon into play. Swing for big Flying beats.
Turn 5 Swing again, or reanimate the Visara or the Nishoba for some fun.


My favorite deck for total ownage tho is my Goblin Bidding.

Turn1, mountan, Skirk Prospector
Turn2, mountan sac the Prospector, bing out Goblin Warchief(Hastybeats) and swing for 2.
Turn3, summon THREE goblin Piledrivers, and swing for the win. 23 damage total.


Now, to list the cards i named, lol

Entomb: cost B, Search your library for a card and put into your graveyard

Burried allive: 2B Search your library for three creature cards and put them into your graveyard.

Doomed Necromancer, Creature, cost 2B. tap, B, Sacrifice, return one creature from your graveyard to play. 2/2

Anger, 2R, creature. As long as Anger is in your graveyard, and you controll a mountan, all creatures you controll have haste. 2/2

Bladewing the Risen, 4BR(could be wrong), Creature. Flying. When Bladewing the Risen comes into play, return Target dragon from your graveyard to play. BR, dragons you controll get +1/+1. 4/4

Visara the Dreadfull 3BBB. Creature. Flying. Tap: Destroy target Creature, it cant be regenerated. 4/4

Phantom Nishoba 5GW, Trample. Phantom Nishoba comes into play with 7 +1/+1 counters on it. When Phantom Nishoba deals damage, you gain that much life. Whenever Phantom Nishoba takes damage, prevent that damage, and remove a +1/+1 counter from it. 0/0

now, the Goblins.

Skirk Prospector. R. Creature. Sacrifice a goblin: add R to your mana pool. 1/1

Goblin Warchief, 1RR. Creature. Goblin spells you play cost 1 less to play. Goblins you controll have Haste. 2/2

Goblin Piledriver. 1R. Creature. Whenever Goblin Piledriver attacks, it gets +2/+0 for each other attacking Goblin. 1/2


all cards can be found at www.magicthegathering.com

If anyone wants my decklists, or tips on building decks, just pop me a PM.

Ive been to the canadian Nationals as a competitor, and have been playing the game since Beta (the second set of cards).


PS, if anyone wants a neat little deck to use against thier friends, i got one. The parts arent TOO hard to find, except one.

I call it Wrath of Reanimator

4x Rotlung reanimator
2x Soul Foundery
2x Death Pit offering
4x Wrath of God
4x Doomed Necromancer
2x Scion of Darkness
4x dark Supplicant


Those are the main cards, you can add whatever else you want to it, but a few good recomendations are 4x caves of Kolthos(sp) and 4x Cabal Archon.

if you dont know what the cards do, look them up on Magicthegathering.com.

also, the first person to tell me why this deck is so damn mean, gets a cookie. (hint, look up what Rotlung, soul foundery, and Death Pit Offering do.)

I have a couple of hundred of yours, and a few hundred of my own :)

Me and Bob dumped close to $100 on cards, you need to come check it out sometime. We have 7 Decks that are ready to play, but bob made 2 of em so we have 5 good ones. :wink:
 
I thought up of a first turn win if you somehow miraculously draw these 7 cards on your opening draw:

1 Mountain
1 Black Lotus
1 Lotus Petal
1 Sol Ring
1 Pandemonium
2 Phyrexian Dreadnought

Here's how it works:

step 1: Play the Mountain, Black Lotus, and Lotus Petal.

step 2: Tap the Mountain for 1 red mana, sacrifice the Black Lotus for 3 red mana, and sacrifice the Lotus Petal for 1 red mana (you now have 5 red mana in your manapool).

step 3: Use 1 red mana and 3 colorless mana to cast Pandemonium. Use the remaining 1 red mana to cast Sol Ring.

step 4: Tap the Sol Ring to add 2 colorless mana to your manapool.

Step 5: Use 1 colorless mana to bring out a Phyrexian Dreadnought. It comes into play and your opponent takes 12 damage from Pandemonium. Since you have no other creatures to sacrifice to the Dreadnought, it have to go to the graveyard.

Step 6: Use the remaining 1 colorless mana to bring out the second Phyrexian Dreadnought. Same as step 5, opponent takes 12 damage from Pandemonium, Dreadnought goes to graveyard, opponent is defeated before their first turn.

I think the DCI changed the rules around for Phyrexian Dreadnought though, I don't think it actually comes into play anymore unless you sacrifice the creatures to keep him out. So Pandemonium won't deal damage anymore since the creature never technically hits the table. So my combo will not legally work. It's also not a regulation Type 1 deck or anything. But I feel like, if you got the cards, you can use them^^. Just not more than 4 in one deck.
 
yeah, they fixed him so it doesnt work anymore. If you dont sac the 12 power creatured, he doesnt hit play.

More fun with Combos!

Your draw

1 Mountan
1 Black Lotus
0, artifact, tap and sacrifice, add 3 mana of any one color to your pool

1 Mox Jet
0, artifact, tap, add one B to your pool

1 Dark Ritual
B, Instant, add BBB to your pool

1 Hatred
3BB, Instant, When you play Hatred, pay X life. target creature gets +x/+0 untill end of turn.

1 Ragin Goblin
R, Creature-Goblin. Haste. 1/1

play the mountan, lotus, and Mox
Drop the Goblin
Pop the Lotus for Black, tap the Mox, and use the Ritual.
Play Hatred, paying 19 life, targeting the goblin.
Swing for 20.
Win

Another fun one, less cards needed

1 Mountan
1 Black Lotus
1 Channel
GG, Sorcery. Until end of turn, any time you could play a mana ability you may pay 1 life. If you do, add 1 Mana to your mana pool.

Fireball

RX, Sorcery. Fireball deals X damage to target creature or Player.

Drop mountan and lotus
Pop the Lotus for Green
Play channel, paying 19 life.
Tap the mountan, and spend all the mana in your pool(22) into a 21 point fireball at your opponents head.
Win
