Found another mythic rare today, a Geist of Saint Traft, with all these blue and white cards I'm getting, I should probably build another deck, but I don't have any plains...
[QUOTE=suppertime;35329660]Sounds like your FLGS has an IDIOT for you to trade with.
Lucky you![/QUOTE]
We don't have a FLGS. I honestly plan to open one myself. There is one place that only hosts FNM and that is 55km away. Closest proper store is in Gothenburg, and that's well over 120km.
I'm possibly thinking about selling some cards online, where would you guys say is the best place to do that? Or should I just sell them on ebay
I've always loved Evershrike, so I took a stab at making a B/W casual deck involving it. I've bought all the cards, and find it to play fairly well and be a lot of fun.

I'd appreciate any suggestions.

a big resounding MEH.
Vigilance adds a lot to the table there, as does the indestructability. Flying is to be expected, but not to be taken for granted. I think it'll add some interesting variation to White standard, and will make some token gen decks even more frustrating, though it interferrs with ravenous demon. I'm happy with it.
Avacyn looks like the first thing she did after being freed was go to Hot Topic
[editline]2nd April 2012[/editline]
I still like the card and art though v:v:v
Avy is actually unreal.
There's no path to exile yeah, so think about that.
There's still tragic slip, and just about anything that makes you sac.
Thinking of building this Knowledge Pool lock deck. Just wondered if anyone had all these cards to sell me, or if anyone knows where I could get these cards cheap (Magic Madhouse tells me £90)? Also general feedback would be cool!

Sorry JakeAM i'm too new and even though I have alot of the older cards, I don't think I have any of these cards (and if I do, they are in my current decks)
This weekend I'm gonna try my deck against another new player. (aka we are both new)
Tips, hints etc? I have researched my stuff and know most (at least all the important) rules, yet he probably didn't. How to explain the rules in a simple/fast way?
He has the relentless dead intro pack ([url]http://www.wizards.com/magic/tcg/productarticle.aspx?x=mtg/tcg/darkascension/intropacks#deck2[/url])
What counters this best? Atm i have a red/black rushing vampire deck, a blue artifact deck, and a white deck that counts on holding out for a while and then spawning alot of humans.
Sorry for the long post and ton of questions I just thought it would be best to ask.

He has no interaction but a lot of little guys and a ton of staying power. Depending on how tuned your vampire deck is you should probably be able to crush him.
As far as what counters him? He has almost no interaction so a bunch of defensive guys and some spot removal would make him really sad.
Some kraken hatchlings, some other sweet walls and a couple fliers should stop him.
Interaction meaning? I know what the word means, but in this context?
Ok, cool, the deck in itself has no walls, but I can add some cheap ones.
Well he has one negate and only a few creature removal spells, hence his deck can't do much more than cast monsters and attack / defend
I want to make my human sacrifice deck already :c
Mephidross Vampire + Human sac outlet (such as falkenrath aristocrat) + Kalastria Highborn = sound like fun
[editline]5th April 2012[/editline]
And Thraben Doomsayers for increased lols and steady flow of humans.
"WE ARE DOOMED, NOW GO TO THAT VAMPIRE AND GET SACCED"
[editline]5th April 2012[/editline]
Also Thraben Doomsayer is pretty nuts with Champion of the Parish
[QUOTE=suppertime;35431286]Well he has one negate and only a few creature removal spells, hence his deck can't do much more than cast monsters and attack / defend[/QUOTE]
Use walls + bounce + removal spells to play and protect any planeswalker for a mostly easy win.
Filigree sages + time vault
[QUOTE=Ryenoru;35438884]Filigree sages + time vault[/QUOTE]
Or Voltaic Key
old old combo
Or, [URL="http://gatherer.wizards.com/pages/card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=217826"]Tezzeret the Seeker[/URL] as planeswalker.
[editline]5th April 2012[/editline]
Either way, thanks alot guys :)

Also, if you're playing a B/W angels deck and you have Avy in it, Desolation Angel would be incredibly frustrating for your opponent.

Just realized how similar the card art for both is.
You guys seem to discuss non-standard cards a lot... I feel left out seeing as my knowledge is based on all the standard cards, as when I play I only ever play standard.
Also eternalflamez, I don't know if anyone has mentioned as I have been too lazy to look, but do the stores which stock cards near you host friday night magic? If so I would recommend you try it out, it is fantastic for playing people of all different calibers, it both expands your knowledge of Magic and the etiquette for competitive play and also is extremely fun. However, FNM (Friday Night Magic) is based around standard decks (Mirrodin block - latest, at the moment).
I think they do, i'll ask for it.
Wasn't mentioned before, thankyou. I also have very limited knowledge.
Well I got my little brother to play it, as well as 2 friends now, so fun times are coming!
And are there special rules for when you are playing with 3?
[editline]7th April 2012[/editline]
Oh and can you trigger tap effects when it's the opponents turn?
(For instance, i have an artifact that, if i tap it and use 2 mana, I can tap target creature. Can I use it while it's the opponents turn? I thought not, but my little brother thought they should, I didn't allow for it, but an answer will resolve this issue.)
Guys
great news

Any ability on a permanent that doesn't say it can only be played as a sorcery or something can always be used as an instant. So yes you can use it on another player's turn unless it specifically says you can't.
As for playing with multiple people there really isn't anything different unless you are doing a special variant
So I was mucking about with the new cards trying to make a new gimmick for a deck, when I decided on fateful hour.
Then I realized the amazing combo these two make.

I can't wait for those new cards that make green/white decks have unkillable stuff. I'm going straight for a beatdown deck on that day.

There we are, another guy who does standard! I was wondering if anybody else did.
We should find a way to play online somehow. I do all of my cards electronically, because buying them is too expensive.
It's a good idea, however either of the cards could be too easily removed from play. I was thinking maybe coupling them with high cost W/G creatures, then using birthing pod.
Does anyone fancy playing standard decks over webcam? Would help if you also have a mic. Add "sambow007" to your friends list.
Friends list in what? Skype? I might, but in a few days.
Steam.

I'd rather use Magic Workstation.
