Magic: The Gathering - Games

Yeah but the octgn has an inbuilt installer or whatever for it and it's taking forever. [editline]24th April 2012[/editline] And to me seems stuck. [editline]24th April 2012[/editline] holy fuck sets are 3.something gb.

And yea, the sets are every card ever made for Magic The Gathering. With pictures, descriptions and everything set into variables. [editline]24th April 2012[/editline] No worries, I'll seed for the sets, just leave the download on, it'll be done in 30 minutes.

[QUOTE=Calkkuna;35684022]Lol, all the cards have been spoiled already: [url]http://www.wizards.com/magic/tcg/article.aspx?x=mtg/tcg/avacynrestored/cig[/url][/QUOTE] Oh god those are whites, and they're powerful too. I better up the ante with my black deck soon.

Making decks in OCTGN is addictive.

For any bronies (I am not one) out there I was bored so I decided to port MLP based MTG cards into OCTGN. Here is a link: [url]http://www.2shared.com/uploadComplete.jsp?sId=M9Y4NhIgR2IZUCFX[/url] The only problem is that the lands do not function at this point...

I for one, think that's nice of you.

Went to two of the prereleases, spent $30 overall, walked away with over $100 of door prizes and won packs, pretty good weekend, I'd say. I've also started building a W/U Angel EDH deck, 29/100 cards acquired.

I don't mind haha, dumb rating don't bother me.

I'm thinking of toying with my lingering spirits deck a bit. I kinda want to use misthollow griffin along with moorland haunt so it never goes away [editline]12th May 2012[/editline] Also I like favorable winds, looks like it could be a great anthem to stick in that deck [editline]12th May 2012[/editline] Nah, I think Angel of Jubilation

Hey guys I'am just getting into MTG and recently my friend needed some lands, so I said "sure" and gave him 20 assorted lands, and in return he gave me this card: [img]http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTBjtitK3RylCoUazELP-fdcPzVVFC1KvjtAEKvb6R0Lkg4kmfDbwmMhZ0j[/img] It says not affected by summoning sickness....is this card good at all in any way?

Try rehosting.

[QUOTE=eternalflamez;36015983]Uhm, well the card obviously doesn't show. Try rehosting.[/QUOTE] If you can't see it now, its Lu Bu Master-At-Arms.

Now, that is an old card. Horsemanship hasn't been around since like 2005 or something. It works similar to flying, meaning opponents without it, can't block you. No summoning sickness, means "haste", so it can attack in the turn it was played. Overall, it's not all that bad, but has a mana cost of 6. I'm sure there are better cards with the same mana cost. That's the only downside, I guess. If the opponent has no creatures with horsemanship, and insufficient removal spells, it could win the game though.

Anyone want a game on OCTGN? Add me on Steam if you do; I'm still a bit of a scrub so don't expect me to win against your awesome decks.

Any ideas for a good mono green deck I can make cheap?

[QUOTE=Jrwiley;36049966]Any ideas for a good mono green deck I can make cheap?[/QUOTE] Depends on what you define as good, if you mean for playing casual games squirrels can be fun and don't cost too much

Planechase 2012 looks REALLY fucking cool. My Devour deck is going to get some new cards~ Also I heard that Exalted is coming back in M13, cool! It's like Alara all over again

I wonder what they'll be doing with ravnica for this block. i'm assuming they used the innistrad block to set up the guild combos a bit, of course

Playing this deck in a big standard tournament tomorrow: [url]http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/the-antagonizer/[/url] I'm expecting some table flips.

My BF got me two new pre-con decks from Avcyn Restored :3 I got one that focuses on solo, and another that focuses on soulbond. Verdict: -Soulbond is really, really damn good. It's basically a much more balanced version of slivers, but much easier to "get the ball rolling" (it just doesn't keep snowballing with abilities like slivers do after turn 4-6). It's a really awesome way to give creature play some really nice power compaired to bounces/counters. I'd have to say it's almost "too" good - I think I've only lost once using my soulbond deck. -The solo-focused stuff is awful though. The deck really isn't that good, but it's still a lot of fun to play with just to try and get out all the good stuff, which is really cool. Plus winning with such a deck (something I've yet to do) just feels bad-ass, instead of cheesy. The problem isn't the idea (because the idea is really cool), the problem is the pre-con is just full of fluff and stuff that ends up hurting loner-decks rather than buffing them (i.e. hardly anything in it to give your loners hexproof/shroud, and instead stuff like enchantments that spawn 5/5 flying demons if you only have one creature on the field... which is stupid when your ONE CREATURE depends on being alone for half of his abilities to work).

[QUOTE=Zombii;36093528]Playing this deck in a big standard tournament tomorrow: [url]http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/the-antagonizer/[/url] I'm expecting some table flips.[/QUOTE] That seems awfully slow. Also, how do you get your planeswalker out / keep her from dying? Then again, I haven't tested it out, so I may well be missing some key elements in it. Whatever the case, best wishes for you in the tournament!

Some demons have this, what color is the solo focus deck?

Well the deck is a blue-black precon. The problem isn't the creatures or the style (well most of them) the problem is that there's hardly anything in there to protect your loner from anything that isn't a creatures attack, and they have a small handfull of really out of place cards like generic demon, marrow bats, etc. Cards that don't really do anything to help the theme of the deck when they could have used more stuff that did.

Hey guys, I've been working a Wizard and Zombie, Black/Blue deck and I need some specific cards, anyone know a good online store or two?

[QUOTE=ColdWave;36103353]Hey guys, I've been working a Wizard and Zombie, Black/Blue deck and I need some specific cards, anyone know a good online store or two?[/QUOTE] I use [url=http://www.coolstuffinc.com/]CoolStuffInc[/url] for most of my card purchases, they're a tad expensive, but they have pretty cheap shipping and they're fast. You can also order directly from TCGPlayer, but I've had some issues with their shipping.

starcitygames and trollandtoad are what I've always used.

I use starcitygames, it is quite a good and reliable place to get cards from in my experience.
