MTG Salvation

Good to have you with us on the forums! Out of curiosity; do the decks you play have drawn out subplots (strategies akin to a detective show/story)?

If you're living like this; and desperately waiting for cash just to buy food and gas with, you shouldn't go to the prerelease. Just play casually with friends or somethin. For entertainment I'd watch tv or play poker with friends or somethin, spending needed cash on cards worth practically nothing isn't what'd I'd do. But as always, have fun with the choices you make in life!

The problem for me has always been I'm a budget player. So the CIPT lands are usually my answer as I can't afford something like Rav Duals or Murmuring Bosk like cards. Pain lands sure, but when you start talkin $10 cards WoTC effectively kicks budget players out of t2 (yeah, I know it's more exspensive then the other formats).

So the problem I see is two fold. Unless there are no good mana fixers in the rare slots and everyone is forced to play bad lands

A two card combo that kills a guy? Given that it's blue white, it doesn't seem to bad, but Duplicant does it allot better for less colored investment and one card less. Sure the combo works good, but too slow and fragile for serious conversation. Has anyone tried it yet? I don't think so.

I'm gonna go with WoTC's favor here and say you're overreacting. Wait until half the spoiler is out before we determine that 3 colored spells are unplayable. I'm not disagreeing with you; just sayin that you should wait a little while. Who knows, we might get a mox effect yet, or a better birds of paradise. We can only hope; as so far this looks like a bad run at the planeshift Lair lands and the 3 cc artifacts that supported two colors in Invasion block.

Sigh, I lost faith in WoTC a long time ago.

I actually started at the end of Apocalypse, so Torment was right up my alley. Being a new player, I loved it. Black being my favorite all time color it incorporated everything into the game I thought should be there. With cards like Mutilate, Nantuko Shade and Cabal Coffers the theme was straight forward and fun: Kill everything, leave nothing behind but a rotting corpse to smash face with.

As for a different color being dominate; I wouldn't have minded then, or now. I still look forward to the day they revisit the mono colored set and give it to white or blue; I'd say green but I don't think they ever would. And might just be to narrow to work with unless it blended with the other colors like the Tainted lands (same set).

They did balance out a bit of the color pie with Judgement, giving a large percentage of the cards to green and white; and leaving very little room for black, and even less playable cards.

Overall I think it was a great idea by WoTC even though most (myself included at the time) though it wasn't. The game should keep changing yet staying familiar and the same for the players, the games sake, and to keep that mullah rollin in.

I thought about doing that once. Then I realized that all my good stuff, if I ever wanted it back, would cost me more money and lots of time. So only get rid of stuff that's either A: worth some bucks or B: you don't like playin with anyway. Which is what I gathered from your post anyways. Good luck sellin!

Moderators here I've heard are starting to become troublesome. It's a sad state, but it'll be fixed soon enough. Fallow mikeyG's advice and go through the proper channels.

Way to top deck to victory! My brother would get mad plays like that ALL THE TIME. A toast on your FNM win and the next FNM win!

Have fun on this mysterious journey! (I dunno where you're going!)

As long as it's a hypothetical situation, I'll fight the Elves battle with this:
If there were/are more Fynhorn elves printed then Llanowar, then the opposite is true and vice versa. I guess it depends on how many are available in your area?

I usually reply when I'm on. It's just not that used yet I guess.

The EPIC return of SUNBURST would be amazing. I loved the idea. If only somehow they made it cooler?

It's a straight up counter deck of old; counter spells, sneak in threats. In this case, you're really gonna have to sneak them in because every turn you're gonna have to counter something. Drop five or so counters and put something like Aether Vial in so you don't have to play your guys. Some Control Magic effects would be better then some counters, and drop the Avatar, the opponent will probably have cards in hand all the time; they'll hold back on their good stuff until you play a card; in which case you should be holding one of those control magic cards.

I didn't think the entries were that bad. Granted the more serious ones you submitted are better, I think the ones in between are the better rounded ones. A good look back at your work to say the least.
