As long as the proxies are good. If a card looks the same and plays the same as the real thing what does it matter to the game, there's no difference. All i care about is if people can play the game. That said I like real cards.
I had a good friend of mine in Lancaster, but in california
Soul sister is a tough deck to play against, I remember getting crushed by it at GP Milan last december.
Your wife is one of a kind, mine hates, magic, video games, sports, cars you name it
I really like soul sisters, I took 2nd place in a modern FNM with it once. I only lost to affinty because they crushed me on turn two with cranial plating. That was the only time Ive had to play it competitively. Sadly the prize support was terrible, I got one pack, ha... I originally built it because it was a budget deck, but now it looks like it doubled it price. Which sucks for other budget/new players who want to get into modern.
It sucks your wife isn't into magic. It's been my favorite hobby, I'm glad my wife can at least go to FNM if i ask her.
I hope you enjoy your time here. Currently the entire staff is on vacation, but once they get back, they will be here to help you. Would you mind providing a link to your deck? I like to look at people's brews and see what I can to help make their deck better.
Welcome, where are you located ? 30 minutes sounds like an eternity to find a store !
What do you play in Modern and Legacy ?
You are fortunate to be able to play with your wife, mine hates the game
Lancaster county, PA. Ill have to update my location... 30 mins is quite drive and that's not considering traffic.
I have Soul sisters and BW tokens/deadguy for modern. I have BW Stoneblade and Goblins for legacy. Missing some key pieces to some of the decks though like dark confidant, wasteland, marshflats and dual lands. I have almost all the shocklands though. Im just missing R/U ones.
I tricked my wife into liking the game... She likes video games so I had her try the Duels of the Planeswalkers game for ps3 and she ended up liking it. She use to make fun of magic players and now look at her She even was in the top 4 once at FNM.
Hi, new but Ive been lurking for years but I decided now to say some thing since I want to play standard. There have been many times Ive wanted to post some thing but I didn't. I play most formats, TL, EDH, Legacy(with a terrible mana base), modern and trying standard once again. I don't play much competitively since every game store is more than 30 mins away and rarely supports modern(my preferred format).
I play magic every now and then with my wife but I build the decks so it's missing some aspects. She just likes to play, but she doesn't care about deck building or collecting. We play mostly Tiny leaders together.
I posted my standard decklist in deck creations but haven't gotten any replies yet. Id like it to be good enough to not lose to much at a local FNM.
I haven't played standard since 2009 but now I happened to have some standard legal cards that I bought for other formats (Tasigur, monastery, polluted delta, thoughtseize) so that was enough for me to try building a standard deck with out specifically spending $$$ on standard. So far Ive only spent $12 on this deck and I'm trying to keep it under $20. I don't know what I'm trying to do with this deck though or if it would get my any where at a FNM. If you have any suggestions I'm open to them if they fit my budget, I also listed some standard cards I have that are not in the deck. All of the cards in the deck are cards I thought would be fun to play so if the deck isn't that great I'm ok with it.
I think the deathdealer would pair nicely with Herald of Torment
What formats do you play?
