I am seeing a lot of people around here with the sig's stating which color they are, and with that many MTG players, I think it's mandatory we have this thread. Show off your decks, ideas, tourney placings, and collections, lets see what you guys got! (If you want to be added to the club title your post with something like "add me")

Gonna start this off with my Type II Deck, see if that pulls anyone in. So far it seems all those people with MTG sigs don't play, lol.

Anyways, this is a build I tossed together in Lorwyn, I didn't play much after that and have got 2 pakcs of shards since then. The deck is ok, mildly competitive, I didn't go online to buy cards, and I personally hate netdecking. Probably going to toss something more competitve together soon, but this is fun for now.

I tried doing this a while ago...never took off

Been playing MTG for the the better part of the last 11 years. I used to be ranked 21st in my state and my brother in-law was ranked 2nd, somewhere about 20th in the nation. He was the one who actually taught me how to play. I recently become a DCI Judge able to host tournaments, however the place I host at locally just closed down because of the economy I have an extensive MTGO collection but haven't played since Shards of Alara was released. I really wish to find people locally to play with...playing online doesn't have that same feel...

We can play online by using Apprentice AND Hamachi.

I have an all-red Elemental deck too, but can't seem to find it, as is my white "I heal and heal and then you're dead" deck.


I barely have any idea with some of the newer things with MTG though (i.e. planeswalkers).

And I'm only a "casual player", haven't really joined tournaments and the like...

 

[Cuzza]

Oh yeah, planeswalkers, WTF is that?

 

[TheMailMan78]

Magic: The Gathering Club? On a tech forum? Why don't you guys just hang a sign around your necks saying "Do not have sex with me." and then David Carriden yourselves.

 

[LittleLizard]

I havent played in a while... a LONG WHILE. I left them because of financial problems but nothing can stop me of using apprentice, so yes, sign me in.

My deck where always weenies, tiny and very ANNOYING creatures.

 

[TheMailMan78]

FYI guys I'm just messin with ya

I don't want to have sex with any one on these forums anyway! Except maybe DanTheBanjoman, I'd have his gay babies.

 

[geeman74]

i used to play along time ago when black lotus and mox ruby etc where big money
didnt no it was still going cost me a fortune at the time

 

[1Kurgan1]

Nice to see some MTG players, I thought this thread was just going to get bumped back to nothingness, even though I see a ton of people with MTG sigs. If you want your name up on the 1st post, add a title to your post, something like "add me"

BTW Lotus wasn't big money back then, I remember when I started MTG they were only like $400 - $500, now your average one is about 2k - 3k depending on set and condition. And a mint one went on Ebay just a while ago (mint meaning it was printed dead on center as most aren't) for 20k. So they were valuable before, but prices have gone crazy high now.

No other card shops near you? I now moved to a larger town, but I use to have to drive 45min to go to any card shop holding tourneys.

 

[entropy13]

add me

I have a Blacker Lotus.

Not exactly worth it though.


If we can somehow agree upon playing through Apprentice through hamachi...

haha thats funnybut soo not true lmao

I play magic
I use all colors well try to its rather hard
I have many cards and I havent finalized my deck but i choose to use:
green for elves and spells
red for flying
for artifacts
black for any creatures
and white any card that deals with health

and of course all the land

 

[Odin Eidolon]

i'm in! i used to organize MTG tournaments in my little city (now i'm too busy) and i even made some money with it.
i have tons of cards somewhere, most of them valuable too (my brother started playing a lot of years ago) and some very very nice decks

 

[entropy13]

Download Apprentice here

Download hamachi here

I can create a network in hamachi already if you want, with password protection of course. Then we can play using Apprentice, without going through Magic-League itself.

 

[MomentoMoir]

anyone know where i can get a reflecting pool

 

[1Kurgan1]

anyone know where i can get a reflecting pool

Can buy them all over online, but they will gouge your eyes out for one. If your only using a 2 color deck could save a lot by running a pain land or the lands that can make 2 mana of diff colors. Or wait for 11th edition to land as it will have dual lands again.

 

[MomentoMoir]

i had one and like a dumbass i traded it all though i traded it for 200 cards....

 

[1Kurgan1]

200 random cards, or like specific rares and then tossed in commons/uncommons

BTW here's the pricing on them http://magiccards.info/shm/en/278.html $24.99 is the cheapest you can get one for online.

 

[MomentoMoir]

some rares and lots of land a ton of commons/uncommons

 

[1Kurgan1]

Could have been good or bad, all depends what you got. Like if you got some kitchen Finks or Boggart Ram Gangs as uncommons then got some rares tossed in, that could have worked out pretty nice as those uncommons hold rare like value. Granted you could trade for those easier than a reflecting pool.

 

[MomentoMoir]

ok well i guess i dont feel like a complete moron i did save myself a ton of money

 

[douglatins]

Alright, awesome, i love MTG, i have thousands of cards and many decks to play with.

 

[LittleLizard]

i have to see which new cards came out as im very uninformed of the cards of new. i played till ravnica set was standard, so you get the idea.
