Just out of curiosity, does anyone here play Magic: The Gathering?  Because if several people do play, we should start a group.

Oh, nice!  Do you know anyone else who plays?

udinator

I have a blac/ white exalted, black/white tokens, red/white boros, blue/black mill, green walls, blue/green infect, and this really really weird blue/white enchantment deck based around luminarch ascension. What about you?

udinator

I actually considered making a green/black undying deck in which you move the +1/+1 counters from the undead creatures to other big creatures with trample, so that the undying creatures never actually die.  here's the link, if you want to see it.  http://mtgdeckbuilder.net/Decks/ViewDeck/623069.

Magic The Gathering for the win!!!

Hey anyone here part of a guild?

udinator

What do you mean by being part of a guild?

udinator

I'm not really part of a guild, but it would have to be Boros for sure.  Its probably the best RTR guild out there.

sabrinaduong

No way! Simic pride right here! :3

But one of my magic friends insists I fit better in Azoriuos......

Anyway,

Any fav planeswalkers?

udinator

My favorite planeswalkers would probably be Ajani Vengeant, Sorin Markov, and Domri Rade. They are (in my opinion), the best ones out there.  What about you?

udinator

Actually, thats a good point.  She can basically make everything you control indestructible for the rest of the game, meaning that your opponent can't do anything to you.  Karn Liberated's final ability is pretty cool too.

sabrinaduong

Well, in terms of which planeswalkers are stonger in a game, I wouldn't know a lot, seeing as I only know of a few of them.....

I like Jace Beleren. He's intelligent, and he can work with minds. If you look at Jace the Memory adept, the 0 ability is target player mills 10 cards. I think that's pretty cool....

I also like Chandra Nalaar.

udinator

That's true, though all of the Jace's are really good, the best being Jace, the Mind Sculptor.  He's so good, he's banned from any tournament game and he's also around a hundred bucks.

sabrinaduong

Yup. I know about that.....

*Jace is so epic, we were forced to ban him from the game.....sorry.*

udinator

Lol! :)

By the way, do you know if Emrakul is banned from EDH?

sabrinaduong

I think Emrakul is banned.....am not 100% sure though.

Anyone have a favorite LOL or epic pwnage/fail moment of magic?

udinator

One of my favorites would be when i was playing my friend who was using this soldier deck that could put out 3-4 soldiers per turn.  It's scary fast.  I was playing blue/green infect against that. I just kept tkaing the damage from his soldiers instead of blocking, and then on the fifth turn, i attacked with a glistener elf equipped with a livewire lash, i also had wild defiance out, and then when he blocked it, i buffed it up with mutagenic growth and giant growth, and then used distortion strike on it to attack for 18 unblockable infect damage in one turn.  it was the best win ever.  what about you?

sabrinaduong
Well....mine isn't really as epic as yours....but one time I had four slivers out, and they helped each other, as slivers like to do, so each one was a 4/3 with double strike and vigilance..... Another time I was playing with a friend and I sacked bloodfire colossus to kill off his remaining life, killing my army of creatures in the process, but then he played safe passage or something. I was annoyed and he was greatly amused, but I just won next t urn with a burn card.... Do you think you're better at magic, or chess? Why?
udinator

oh, nice! lol.  I always hate when you pull off a winning burn combo and then your opponent just Fog's you or uses safe passage.  It's the most annoying thing ever.

I think I'm better at magic because i feel as if I can see combos more clearly than in chess, because my combos usually take one turn to pull off, but in chess, i have to set up for the combo, and my opponent then sees what I'm trying to do and plays a move i thought wouldn't work, which screws up my combo.  What do you think you're better at? Why?

sabrinaduong

Well, I think I'm better at chess....

In magic, I'm really more of a noob, because I can never make any good decks with the cards that i have, and when my friends make me a deck, it seems like I can never use them to their full potential. However, in chess I find that I'm okay...My estimated rating is 1557. It's not great but it's probably better than my probably-very-low hypothetical magic rating.... We should try to play a game some time. :3
