Magic The Gathering, WTF?

[Lane]

I can't believe they made a card like this:

[Hue G. Pness]

[187]

Magic is gay, Don't talk about it

[AlienQ - BANNED FOR LIFE]

Yes but it must be tapped to take effect.

Even if played and down on the table there is a way to beat it.

[Screaming]

[Fletch XXX]

hey man sometims you gotta go to jail and not pass go.

these cards are in all games.

the death card has to be there. ;)

[tootie]

Well, it costs 5 mana just to put it down, so it's vulnerable to countering and 10 colored mana to activate it seems likely that an artifact removal spell would get rid of it before you'd get enough colored mana to cast it. That would mean having two of each color mana! I don't know why they'd make that card a rare.

[AlienQ - BANNED FOR LIFE]

Can be easily countered with a few of these in your deck

[Hue G. Pness]

This is a very strange thread.

[LadyMischief]

MTG makes my brain hurt. I had two relationships break up over MTG. I like to play, but man does it fuck up people's lives.

Holy fuck does this thread bring back memories

I love playing this game, me and the lady will sit and play from time to time and if we find other players around we get em.

Usually it comes down to building Counter decks, so we build from scratch when play.

OMG, I hate playing against blue. My husband plays blue often, so I don't play with him too often. LMAO

[AlienQ - BANNED FOR LIFE]

Water decks rule!

Its all counter and I do a sprinkly of Green as well in my killer deck combo.

The Force of Nature really turns things around really fast when it comes into play

She plays red and Black often, so she is an artifact whore!

Also if ya notice those are black borders.

Some of my cards are actual Beta Prints.

My husband only plays with black bordered cards. Once when we couldn't get our hands on any beta WoG he bought 4 Portal just to have black bordered cards.

I am willing to bet if he is true to form he insists on BLack Border Land cards as well

You have a good man there!

[fuzebox]

Most of mine were black bordered... This is special?

I don't remember, when I was 13 my parents threw all my MTG cards out. (9 years ago).

OMG, some of the black bordered cards are worth BIG cash. Some of them are $200-$300 each now. And the really good power 9 cards can be well over $500 each for mint condition Beta edition. Smack your parents for me!

[AlienQ - BANNED FOR LIFE]

Gimem a couple minutes I show ya some valuable ones

[Jdoughs]

Nothing like overunning with 10 "squirrel" tokens

Or a deck i placed at toronto national qualifier was a Lanowar Elves/overrun deck..It kicked ass.

green and white baby.

[Sly_RJ]

This thread is ridiculous. What makes it worse is I know exactly what you guys are talking about.

Haha... I had some white bordered ones too, 4th gen and Ice Age and stuff, but most of mine had black borders. I think they threw out around 400 cards, along with 4-5 new AD&D books in mint shape.

Ohhhh, I love squirrel tokens! LOL

My favorite decks are red/green decks. I loved my Fires deck with Fires of Yavimaya, Urza's Rage, Birds, Elves, Skizzik, Call of the Herd.... that was my favorite deck ever. Of course, I like red burn, too. But NOT when I'm playing against blue!

Speaking of cards, did you know that Finkels (Shadowmage Infiltrator) were about $22 not long after they came out and now they are only $6!

[Fletch XXX]

save all that money folks.

My husband and I are going to get some RPG games together soon. We're going to play GURPS and AD&D. Oh how I miss my level 20 Ranger character.

I wish I still had her character sheet. It got lost in a move a long time ago.

Wow. Someother people play. Thought I was alone.

That card is pointless in todays meta. Can you say shatter or oxidize.

Sigh. I play this to much.

Wish the porn industry was this easy.

[AlienQ - BANNED FOR LIFE]

Here are a few

Couldnt find my Force Of Nature Black BOrder but the one there is 2nd Edition and the Sangir Vampire's got a few of those.

[TDF]

that card is almost as bad nicobolas dragon or platinum angel

[tootie]

My favorite card is Serra Angel. Not because she's great or anything, but she just seems like she was made to be MY card.

First of all, my first name sort of rhymes with Serra. Secondly, the last name of the artist of the original Serra is also MY last name. Thirdly she was one of the rares in the very first starter I ever bought.

[joessmut]

platinum angel a bad card?

Come on.

That with Leonin Abunas in play. Have you seen decks based on Tooth and Nail. Thats a win condition.

Sigh. I realy hate this game.

Blasphemer! I order you to say 10 Hail Serra's and wash your mouth out with soap.

[Lane]

I quit this addiction last year

The online version is dangerously addictive, as you can find people to play with 24/7

I must have spent a few grand on cards.. They're still in my online account

Dont tell me your going to send Akroma after me.

Sigh. More MTG talk.

To think I started to play when the Mirrodin block came out but ive known about since alpha/beta.

[Psytonic]

nah it's gay, stopped playing with that sorta shit years ago

Here are a few of our extra cards that we're about to put up on eBay soon:

[joessmut]

Some really nice cards in there. Should grab you $150+

[serious]

Part of me wishes I knew more than just the basics of what you guys are saying.

The other part is glad I don't

[reynold]

Strange card indeed!

[nofx]

Never could get the hang of this game, it just seems kinda boring to me.

[Jdoughs]

I have bought and resold all my cards 3 complete times...and now have none.

When i see them posted here it makes me wish i hadnt sold out..heh all three times.. I started playing back when you could get dual lands in a booster...real dual lands not pain lands. I think arabian nights...was beta that was selling at the time.

The card shop here sells everything 50% book value...and often dishes out beaut deals cause he buys them for 25% book value
