My best card was a IV edition Wrath of God.... Killed all creatures in play. Fun times


People who use prebuilt decks annoy me because the best part of the strategy of the game is the construction of the deck.

I never stopped playing magic because of the new cards, I just really haven't bought any of them ever since they changed the apperence, but since most of my friends haven't either we just play with the old rules that we know, occasionally a new card will pop into our game here and thier but for the most part we don't use them.

oh and X, yea most people do tryto build decks of one or two creature types, mainly because they help out one another easily.
A few creature type decks I use would be .....

(Of course any one could guess this one)

"Elf Deck" - This is mainly a green deck with about 6 White/Artifact cards, My Elves basically boost my other elven abilitys, and my "Dual Nature" Card helps me out allot.

This deck basically is brute force, and major healing. I play out small 1/1 and 2/2 elves for low cost in the begining and later when I get "Dual Nature" out (this card makes a copy of every creature played out after this is on the field) I get twice as many Elves. then with my "Well Wishers" (TAP: Gain 1 life for each Elf in play) I gain a huge amount of life each turn, and if i got 4 well wishers plus a copy of each im already gaining 8 life per well wishe plus any other elves i got thats 64 life in one turn. and then with my other elves that have tap: target creature gets +X/+X till end of turn I use after attacking with my 1/1 trmple elf, then when the opponet blocks with a 3/3 to kill him i pump him up about 8 times to make him like a 65/65 or i attack with 4 of them to make each a 9/9 right there my opponet is pretty much dead. I have many other combos but I don't wanna list them all.

So by the end of the game my opponet is dies with - 40 or more life and I have about 200 life .... there was one game were I actually gained 1000+ life but It happened only once and now I can't seem to do it again .. though it is possible.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other Decks I use would be ...

"Zombie Deck" - this deck destroys non black creatures and returns my zombies back from the grave

"Merfolk Deck" - this isn't really that great unless I get a few certian cards ... it kinda sucks cuz I rely on basically two cards in my deck and if there gone im done for

"Sliver Deck" - as ever one knows .... Slivers are a pain in the arse the vs, since they power eachother up for just being on the field

"Bird/ Bird Soldier Deck" - This deck basically has my flyers into it and I sore over all my opponets land creatures finishing him off early

One deck I haven't been Able to make yet that I would probally charish as much as my Elf deck would be my "Dragon Deck" though I don't have the cards to make it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now Recently I found out that I had a combo in my pile of cards I never payed any attention too. My friend pointed out the way to use "Phage The Untouchable" to kill my opponet in a few turns.

All I would need is "Phage'', 3 "dark rituals", and Fear plus one swamp on my first turn for combo one. on my first turn I would play the swamp tap it play all 3 dark rituals and then put phage out on the first turn .. then on turn too if he has no creatures attack and I win .. if not then i play fear if it isn't black or artifact then I win when I attack. "Phage" has "When Phage does damage to a player you win the game".

The second combo is when i have phage out but can't attack directly I put an enchantment that gives phage "Tap: Enchanted creature does 1 damage to target pcreature or player" then i would tap her and target the player and win

I play magic almost every day in school. I also play at a small tournament at the local geek store. It's a very tense and exciting game and actually very stragical too. Anyway I'd recommend you to start with a simple deck like red burn or aggro. Then after you've played a few months when you've learned the advanced rules of the game you migth wanna switch to something more advanced like combo or suicide. The fastest budget combo decks are Kobold-Clamp-Storm and Oath. These usually wins in turn 3 or 4. After that you might want a more stable deck like Mono Blue Control. These are the most trivial but also some of the best budget decks.

BTW this is the first post from me in like 6 months, but I might start beeing active here again.

my friend had that combo.. really pissed me off.

eh.. how do u guys get to do all these strats in the first turn? dont u need to shuffle the cards then draw 7 cards first? o.O

[Sephiroth rocks]

The Phage combo isn't very decent since it relies of having 3/4 dark rituals in first turn.

These combos should be more stable:

Beacon of Immortality (Which targets the opponent) + False Cure= You win the game.

Tinker + Ornithopter + Darksteel Collossus (Not in hand, in library) = indestructable 11/11 in turn 3 (or two with a Sol Ring)

Show and Tell + Dearksteel Colossus= 11/11 in 3rd turn (turn 2 with Sol Ring)

Copper Gnomes + Darksteel Colosus= 11/11 in 4th turn (Turn 2 with Sol Ring)

Illusionary Mask + Phyrexian Dreadnaught= 12/12 in 2nd turn.

Nomads en-kor + Task Force + Transmutation= Infinite/Infinite in 4th turn.

Power Artifact + Grim Monolith + Kaervek’s Torch= Infinite damage in turn 3.

people cheat in shuffling.

[Sephiroth rocks]

Or use tutors (library search spells).

o.O played my first game with my Red Kamigawa Deck and got my butt kicked XD i have a neighbour who also goes to my school and i found out a few days ago that he also plays Magic. he uses a crazy zombie deck and has a card that revives all his zombies.. shiz.. i had a sackfull (just an expression) of his cards in his graveyard, next turn, he revives a blardy army!

i understand how to play it and now and i think i'll play a White/Red deck. all from the Kamigawa Block and maybe a Samurai/Flying deck =\

 

people cheat in shuffling.

thats why people here let their opponents shuffle their cards =P

Magic the Gathering was my introduction to role-playing games.

My ex-boyfriend in college was an avid player of it and the other card-based RPG, Vampire the Masquerade.  I was around the game but never actually played it like some of you have, I only got to the point of creating a character.

There was a game master, I forget his name...who was supposed to put together a tournament but then other things got in his way.

[Wishmaster]

Me and saphi are friends in real life, so i play like him, every day and tournaments at the local geek store.

Right now i am playing Oath.dec (Learn the term now: .dec, just meaning deck). It wins very early indeed, but can be slow as it actually lies in the control category.

Also, i am gathering cards to make a 3cc.dec (3 color control, a deck which uses 3 different colors, so they always are having answers to all threats). It is really slow usaully first turn 7-8 kill, but hey, it's still nice.

Hope you will find magic enjoyable!


BTW, i saw someone posting that a goblin deck is unstopable; that's hole wrong! If you are able to cast something like CoP: Red, Engineered Plague, Propaganda and the like, they so much fucked.

yeah. I had a card (I think it was from the portal set) that allowed you to prevent all land attacks of a certain color. Block red and no goblins can attack

0_o What's with all these Charas members returning from the dead for apparently no reason? You haven't been on Charas for ages!

You should be careful of buying too many Kamigawa cards since they're fun to play with but they suck. Buy Mirrodin and Onslaught instead.

Actually not, if it's decent (which mean 3 or 4 piledrivers) it can easily win in turn 3 or 4. Especially Goblin Foodchain should be playable in even powered tournaments (which means that one or more of the decks in the tournament contains P9 cards, the nine ultimate MTG cards of all time).
