No offense meant, but that's probably because you didn't understand the game at 14. :lol:

Word I'll absolutely look into OCTGN then.
Do you by chance know if they have anything in place to help facilitate drafting?

I'd like to play
but I'd prefer if I didn't have to rebuy whole decks
Skype or something might work

I may pay to play if the price is reasonable

I once played this african American gentleman, he kept playing the race card.

It was very frustrating.

Yup that's the exact same way I have been for years!

I'll have a greatly great play group then for what ever reason I always end up losing contact with them then quitting for years at a time.

But since I started up again with this group I see no end in sight.

A friend invited me to go with him to a draft so I went and met so many awesome people.
Between the rounds we all just go outside and have giant smoke sessions in the parking lot with lots of beer.

And after going twice a week for a month I was on a name to name basis with all of them.
We all draft at the local shops together Monday-Wednesday-Friday and play EDH Tuesdays and Saturdays and there is always something going down on off days..

Now I'm constantly being invited over to play magic by everyone and running into magic friends randomly all over town.
They are all some seriously good people.

Yes, there are many game types, including cube, I think booster drafts and whatnot. There are tons of features that were way too over my head .

You played since 7th edition, nice, I think I did too. Back then. But quit a long time ago. I was heavy into Invasion, Plainshift and Apocalypse, Odyssey, Onslaught, and Mirrodin etc, Loved playing the even older editions too.

In the end, the only variant I liked to play was a 40 card constructed Highlander. I know, it's probably odd... but to me it was the perfect mix of flavor and mechanic.

Problem was I became seriously addicted. Lived for it. Then I started to spend money on it that I should have spent on weed. There you have to draw the line.

Now, afraid to go back really. Addiction would hit hard I'm sure. But would love to play if someone just gave me a cool deck.

Cool you're so into it, really...

Love, Hanz.

Oh oh I do!! :manofapproval:

I have like 4 shoe boxes full of cards plus two binders for my good ones.
I have bunch of stuff from different sets but have yet to get anything from the Wizards. Although looking at it now it very much looks like there's some stuff I need lol
I have 3 decks set up right now Black and white, green red and black, and a green blue deck.

I used to have a room mate who convinced himself that spending all his extra money on Magic cards was a good investment. :hahthatsrich:

I haven't played in close to 2 years. I have some cards. Last deck I used is my primarily red/green deck but it actually has cards of every color in it so I claim it is a rainbow deck.



Landfall is going to make Red Green very strong in Zendikar.
It was about the only thing that had any response to my black white ally deck at prerelease.





I don't believe that effect is that new?

I haven't played and the newest cards I have are from Born Of the Gods set. I think that's the block they re-released slivers but they're actually pretty good.

I checked out Magic the Gathering online (free trial)
it's MTG online :shrug:
I don't really care for the look or layout
not something I'd pay for

I'm surprised too, the playstation version looked and felt great

and on a side note, I don't know why they ever did away with mana burn

I never understood why you couldn't just tap less land to avoid mana burn. I never really played with it though.

you could but there were ways to cause your opponent to receive mana burn
by making them tap cards

or cards that give extra mana
I had one card that made all land count as 2 mana instead of 1
which could lead you to tap 2 land (4 mana) but only use 3 to cast a spell

Hell yes I play magic, have play group that gets together every monday. Battle for zendikar looks like a good set. Do you play standard only or do you play the eternal formats as well?

You are correct, Landfall was first added in Zendikar back in 2009,
But it hasn't been standard legal for years now.
And now that we are returning to Zendikar for "Battle for Zendikar,"
It just makes sence to use that mechanic again, plus it's honestly much more useful this time around.

Mana burn was removed years and years ago because almost everyone thought it was stupid.
But mana burn spells are still a thing especially in EDH.
By mana burn spells I mean spells that cause your opponent to lose life for as much land they have tapped this turn.
Had someone use one of those spells on me at instant speed when I was in the middle of an infinate mana combo.
Shit sucked. :lol:
