I'm new to the forum but not very new to the game. I came in during Avacyn Restored and bought a fatpack because I thought Avacyn was pretty, honestly hoping I would get her. My husband (then my boyfriend) said not to get my hopes up, and that it didn't work like that. Well I opened the first booster and there she was, and I was hooked. Avvy was my first commander (my husband's favorite format) and I've been playing and modifying her ever since.
So I primarily play EDH, it's very fun, and I enjoy it a lot, though I recently moved and it's been difficult finding a playgroup that I fit in with...
I'm female, 24, and married (obviously lol). Other than magic I play violin/viola, teach, and play a variety of video games when I can find the time.
If you have a question, ask I'm still trying to figure out how to get the decklist formatting stuff going so I can share my fun stuff with y'all. Wish me luck!

Welcome, I too am fairly new to the forums and a big fan of EDH. I commented because I saw that you play violin and viola. I myself play Upright Bass and the Saxophones (mainly Alto, Soprano and Bari) so I wanted to say hello to a fellow musician and player of Magic
Well, I wanted to post a link to a good thread on how to format decklists, but apparently I can't post links until I have made 5 posts!
Either way I'm new to the forums myself and have been buying magic cards since scars, but never did much with them until recently. I'm trying to get into standard, but EDH looks hella fun from what I've heard.
I have yet to try a standard tournament, but I feel like it would be more fun compared to modern/legacy as far as constructed goes. I'm currently trying a standard izzet deck against my girlfriend's modern decks (she's a big fan of angels from avacyn as well), which feels like a huge handicap for me due to all of her cheap white removal (which is also strong in standard with Chain to the Rocks. Is there a good way for RU to answer to enchantments in standard? Right now I can only think of counters like Syncopate, Izzet Charm, Negate, etc.
On another note, what personally got me interested in magic were the infect creatures in new phyrexia/scars/mirrodin besieged. The artwork and flavor around all things phyrexian is just so cool.
Welcome to the forums :). I'm even newer here than you, but it's nice to see another teacher & EDH player in the mix (that seems like a rare combo nowadays).
I'm looking forward to see your decklists when you get a chance to post them.
As far as the playgroup thing goes, I know how you feel. I'm the Timmy in a sea of Spikes around my area, so finding a good crowd for EDH can be a challenge. Have you ever tried MTGO? It's not great for social interaction, but it does help scratch that Magic itch when you can't seem to get enough people together to play.
Welcome everyone. I also am an avid EDH enthusiast (I feel like I am admitting to being an alcoholic or something there...). Let me know if I can be of any assistance.

I appologize for that . The reason for limiting links based on posting is that it helps against the bots a bit as it keeps their links out.
To do some basic tags I will run through [card]Avacyn, Angel of Hope[/card] turns into Avacyn, Angel of Hope and [card=Avacyn, Angel of Hope]Avacyn[/card] into Avacyn.
[deck=Sample Deck Name]COMMANDER
1 Avacyn, Angel of Hope
There are plenty more tags but its easier to ask for a specific one and I can explain it then.
[mana]BWRUG[/mana] = BWRUG
[mana]B[/mana] = B
General formatting [i]Italics[/i], [u]Underline[/u], [b]Bold[/b] = General formatting Italics, Underline, Bold
[url=http://www.mtgsalvation.com/forums/the-game/commander-edh]This is a link[/url] = This is a link
Really though, one of the easiest ways to figure out a tag is to hit the quote button on any post you are curious about and it will clone all the tags and what not that the other user used to make something happen so if you see anything you dont know how to make it happen just hit the quote real quick and in the preview you can figure out their tags. I can help with any advanced ones assuming you want to ask about one in specific as well.

I have officially moved to MTGNexus. I just wanted to let people know as my response time to salvation decks being bumped is very hit or miss.

Here are the commander pages since that seems to be the recurring theme here.
To do some basic tags I will run through [card]Avacyn, Angel of Hope[/card] turns into Avacyn, Angel of Hope and [card=Avacyn, Angel of Hope]Avacyn[/card] into Avacyn.
[deck=Sample Deck Name]COMMANDER
1 Avacyn, Angel of Hope
CREATURES
1 Weathered Wayfarer[/deck]
Turns into:
1 Avacyn, Angel of Hope
1 Weathered Wayfarer
If anyone needs any assistance in finding anything let me know. I can be reached through PM fairly easily.
