Title: Magic: The Gathering
Post by: Incredirobotwars on June 20, 2014, 08:49:29 PM: What decks do you play? My current's a U/B Mill deck. Modern, not Standard, because I can't bear to replace Nemesis of Reason.

i prefered Red (obviously enough) though Blue was fine as well.

Post by: Incredirobotwars on June 22, 2014, 09:16:22 AM: I find the Red/White multicolours from Ravnica block are amazing, but a lot of stuff from Return to Ravnica is amazing, anyway. Better than the Theros block has been.

I have 1 or more control decks for every color. Screw letting my opponent do anything. Just sit there and do nothing while I play my solitaire.

Edit: Also green has (http://gatherer.wizards.com/Handlers/Image.ashx?multiverseid=253673&type=card)

Post by: 123savethewhales on June 24, 2014, 04:59:40 PM: What about it? I haven't touch MTG for like 10 years.

Post by: Incredirobotwars on June 24, 2014, 05:07:00 PM: It's completely different, that's 'What about it'.
Title: Re: Magic: The Gathering
Post by: 123savethewhales on June 24, 2014, 05:44:10 PM: Yeah, it's all about those ultra rares God cards now that cost mad money.

MTG was always expensive, but the new rarity is pure money grab.

Post by: Incredirobotwars on June 25, 2014, 03:45:43 AM: Me and my mate did a trade the other day, about 10 cards each. We figured out the cost of the cards we traded at about £50, which for a few rares in Standard is pretty high.

Post by: Naryar on June 25, 2014, 08:43:13 AM: yeah, i'm in the same case as 123... last magic game I had... can't even remember it.

also that Winter Orb looks just overpowered for only 2 mana... Nevinyrral's Disk is also quite powerful i though armageddon style cards cost more like 7 ? alright you have one turn to prevent but if you don't have a counterspell or an artifact breaking ability you are so dead.
