MTG Salvation

Quote from Lord of Atlantis

Is there an alternative to MSE, like a generator site, a program or something like that?

For individual cards, try http://shenafu.com/magic/cc.php. Save the image to your computer.

For whole sets, try http://multiverse.heroku.com/.

Thanks

There's no good way to get a set from MSE into multiverse, is there? I just have to do it by hand?

is there any site online or anything that supports drafting a custom set or cube online?

does anyone know a site or something that'll let you draft a custom card cube online? plenty of draft sites but i can't seem to figure out anything for custom cards

Quote from ajacobik

"Play answers" is always a valid response. In fact, in most situations, it's the only valid response. It's only people who are too whiny and angry that they have to interact with their opponents that call for bannings. Certain cards that win the game when cast should be banned (Biorhythm, for example), but cards that just have value are perfectly fine. Having a problem with someone's Deadeye Navigator? Wait til they tap out then Path that son of a ***** to Hell and back. Kiki-Jiki givin' you problems? Wrath the bastard and all his tokens.

EDH began as a Timmy-leaning format, but it's degenerated to the point where people are afraid to pack answers because removal and counters are "unfun." Well, to me, it's more fun to play with skill and build a deck with a measure of resilience than it is to slam down some fat nonsense creatures with synergy and win the same way every time. I'd rather cast Vindicate than ***** and moan and call for a card to be banned.

Those of you who want synergistic, value-based cards to be banned are nothing but cowards.

Let me get this straight, you're suggesting sorcery speed answers to kikijiki combos? Who plays Deadeye Navigator and taps out?

I run nearly everyone of these widely-hated blue/green cards in my Damia deck, and I will continue to until they are banned. More often than not if I get Deadeye Navigator I just win, quite often that turn. And the people around me most definitely play all the removal, hate cards, countermagic, and sweepers.

At some point you have to draw the line and say we can't ban more, because there always be a best deck or a best card. But again, "play answers" isn't an argument. You could use that argument for everything else on the banlist.

While I'm not advocating banning any of the cards being declared as broken in this thread, "play answers" is not a valid response. Your opponents are inevitably playing answers too.

That format exists

It's actually pretty fun to play, if you have enough people.

i linked this in this thread already

makes me think of this

quite a great format to use for 5+ player edh games

about a week ago:
Playing against junk aristocrats, I've ulted garruk, primal hunter. I have at least 8 of the wurms and a few beast tokens. He's at 7. He sacs something to cartel aristocrat giving it protection from green, then taps skirsdag high priest and the other creatures to make the 5/5 demon. I tap the demon with tamiyo. His only untapped creature is cartel aristocrat with protection from green and a lingering soul token.

I declare attackers, swinging in with my wall of 6/6 wurms and the 3/3 beasts.

Him: pro green
Me: ok?

after waiting a bit
Me: so, you're taking lethal, right?
Him: pro green
Me: right, but you can't block all of the wurms
Him: ?
Me: you have 7 life
Him: pro green
You have been kicked from the game.

I still am not really sure what he thought was going on

for those complaining about the sacrifice, keep in mind that this kills an equipped sigarda
