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
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 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
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.
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?
If it can be done, could it be? if not, no worries, thanks for your time.
Or do I just...not log on again?
(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.
This is correct^^.

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

Kind of concerns me in a way too. But back in the day I never played competitively, was mostly "house" or "beginners" things.
Be my guest, the first replier has already lol.
Travel, accomodation, food, tournament entries
I have been playing since Ice Age block and Judges tell me for a learning experience.
We have 1 GP a year also and a few SCGP trials also, same.
