  • posted a message on Bestow the Keyrune
    If I activate Selesnya Keyrune it becomes a Wolf.
    If I Bestow the Keyrune (as wolf) with Hopeful Eidolon..

    After the keyrune ends being a creature..does the Eildon drop off and become a
    1/1 lifelink creature? Or remain on the Keyrune?

    I was just concerned that someone else might log on as me....normally a paranoid motion, but it has happened before here.

    If it can be done, could it be? if not, no worries, thanks for your time.

    Is it possible for my "account" here to be removed? This site really isn't for me.

    Or do I just...not log on again?

  • posted a message on Playing without online
    I (and a lot of others) covered a lot of this in my Physical magic thread
    (before it got taken the wrong way by many).

    If you listen to the others in there, they have some good advice on whether or not to play online vs competitive irl.

    Lifegain/Sanguine Bond is cute but you're requiring that you spend turn 4 on a Whip and turn 5 on the Bond - that's two key turns where you barely interact with the board.


    This is correct^^.

    And if they so happen to destroy/counter/exile/bounce either permanent in either turn, then you will have to keep fluffing about to try to get in order again

  • posted a message on What do you collect?
    I used to collect Gore-House Chainwalker.

    I also collect matching lands from a set. For example, all my islands in my faeries deck are: Island

    And all Mountains in my RDW are: Mountain

  • posted a message on There should be a free mulligan rule
    If there was a free mulligan rule, 49 minutes of the round would be me re-mulliganing and shuffling, instead of when I draw 3 Stomping Grounds and 4 Loxodon SMiters. Then again when I draw 6 land. Then when I draw 5 land...

    Also a player's gender really has no bearing on skill level


    Wasn't my intention, sorry, did not mean it to come across like that. I will rephrase: After playing 18 years or what not, I get beaten by young teens who have played maybe a couple times, once or twice in a Game Day, with a budget sliver deck. That doesn't say a lot for me.

    Another thing is, sure I have a few good cards but not enough to make a solid deck. I have trouble getting cards (Australian prices are way above US, and we can't just walk into any store like you guys and ask for 4x every planeswalker and 4x Verdict/Anger of the Gods etc).

    Also, I have cards that just sit there, that don't interact with others like a set of Loxodon Smiter, set of Fleecemane Lion etc. But what good are the lions if I can NOT get Voice of Resurgence?

    The last Australasian gp

    Was that the Sydney one? I was there. All I played against was Bant (Thragtusk, Angel, etc)

    I knew years ago I wasn't very good. But I kept telling myself that one day I would actually win...I guess that fell through

    ok, this concerns me after reading:


    Kind of concerns me in a way too. But back in the day I never played competitively, was mostly "house" or "beginners" things.

  • posted a message on Pack Missing Rare?
    I bought an intro deck, and the two included boosters, one was in English and one in Spanish...is that common? And I pull the only good rare I ever got..Arcángel de Thune

    Not to be rude,

    Be my guest, the first replier has already lol.


    but I honestly have to question why you would spend $1,000

    Travel, accomodation, food, tournament entries

    to go play competitive MTG when you're clearly pretty new

    I have been playing since Ice Age block Frown and Judges tell me for a learning experience.

    We have 1 GP, a few PTQ's and GPT's, and that's more or less it for competitive REL events.

    We have 1 GP a year also and a few SCGP trials also, same.

    I tried playing online, and because I am not very good (forget timing, stacks, certain steps etc) people ill on me expect me to be a pro.

    (Example: He attacks with a 1/1 and a 3/3. I block the 1/1 with my Experiment One, THEN play Advent of the Wurm and block the 3/3. I thought my Experiemt would evolve to 2/2 and kill the 1/1 and live, but apparantly I can't do it like that)

    One main reason I play big events is to...well see people. I don't have friends lol.

    If you're looking at MtG as an investment, yes, then the game is not for you. Only the very best of pros make money off winning, probably less than .01% of the total playing population.


    No. More concerned about the waste of $ factor in the incident.

    You play MtG because you enjoy playing MtG, not because you can win money.


    If I wanted to try and win MONEY, I would gamble. Anyone can do that, regardless of skill.

    1) What does your local play experience look like? Do you have an FNM? A local playgroup?


    The local play is at the 3 hour away place lol. Mostly pros and advanced players there.

    2) What format(s) are you trying to play?

    Standard.
