MtG/ MtGO Thread (Magic: The Gathering)

[Clicky]

So it was pretty much destiny for me to start playing Magic.  I had seen it a few times in my childhood, but it didn't seem fun to me.  Then I ended up in a situation with a bunch of other guys my age and we had no access to video games or members of the opposite sex...it was like a perfect storm of nerdiness.  Anyways, does anyone have any attachment to a particular color?  I had a friend describe the colors to me, and I was hooked on the idea of blue from that moment.  I have most played mono-blue (which is probably a little silly since blue creatures always seem so expensive in terms of mana and end up being so weak) since that moment, though I have experimented with everything else of course.  I have never been to any sort of organized Magic event, I'm worried I would end up doing something horribly wrong.  So far playing with friends at the kitchen table has been fun enough for me!

Funny, monoblue is arguably strongest deck right now

Really?    Know of any place to look up a good current deck build for that?

I've been really enjoying Mono Black Devotion.

So... what happened to the deck?  The four Juzam Djinn alone would fetch a pretty penny.

A beta Underground Sea alone is worth 6 Juzam Djinn and there are two in the deck ^ ^

That deck above today is worth about 15 K EUR / 20 K USD at a quick glance (depending on the state of the cards). I might be a bit of but not that far off. The most thought after cards are the dual lands (especially with the new "fetch lands" that allow to go grab, say, an island: because, precisely, you can go fetch dual lands), ancestral recall, the moxes, ...

It's crazy to think there are still people who have these in an attic without having the slightest idea of what they're worth now. A bit like the researcher who bought for $22 of BitCoin then forgot about them for years and realized his bitcoins were worth... $850 000 or so :

I'm playing U/W control and I can swap between than or Monoblue. Gotta mix it up.

I just have to quench my thirst with mtgo.

I used to play a lot of MtG. Got into it during Shadowmoor and my friends and I played casual (and the occasional Pre-release) a lot.

Unfortunately, we don't play as much any more but I still buy fat packs because they look nice. Still have many unopened packs from return to ravnica since I don't play as much any more

[LONGZILLA]

Playing standard ended up being way too expensive, the process of selling my standard singles and probably just play MTGO drafts here and there... time to hang up the thug life (playmat)

Played a few rounds at school today, these kids today don't know bout dem slivers. Absolutely crushed all comers in a few 2headed giant games in a row. So many slivers, so many counters, all aboard the pain train. Choo choo

[Sifo]

slivers so ez...

[goobafish]

Glad to see there is an MTG/MTGO thread here. Need to pickup a standard deck online, but I am waiting for them to bring back PTQs online, what a mess!

[jwaz]

My mono-black devotion deck is so OP


Thoughtseize, Thoughtseize, Underworld Connections, Hero's Downfall, Gray Merchant.

[Sifo]

Yep ^^^^^^^^^^^

[clacktalk]

necro bc i'm getting into it and will only consider mtgo if there's enough people here to play casual with. i can't afford drafts but maybe a couple pauper decks and a standard deck or two

my lgs has booster drafts every friday for $10, so i'm planning on spending money on paper anyways. another reason why i'm so reluctant to mtgo

guide me

[clacktalk]

if cost is an issue, y'all can do what i'm doing and play pauper decks. i swear it's super fun

it's so lonely here : ' [

[abdulmuhsee]

I haven't played since the Dragon's Maze prerelease a couple years back.  I sold all of my cards except for a legacy deck I made (or whatever the format is that allows you to use whatever, minus a few OP power 9 type of cards), which I've never used in person.

Is there a way to exchange my paper legacy deck for the same cards on MTGO?  I might give it a whirl if there is.

[jjanssen1]

Bringing this thread back from the dead because I just started playing and would like to chat with some more magic players on GH

Quit this crack years ago,  but now i started shooting orbs in fire emblem heroes.

Quit this crack years ago,  but now i started shooting orbs in fire emblem heroes.

For the last 12 years there has been a milk crate full of magic cards that just follows me around whenever I move, living in my closet.

Started looking through all my cards like 3 weeks ago. 1 week ago I ordered two booster boxes of Modern Masters 2017 off of ebay.

Last night I opened those booster boxes and got a Tarmogoyf, Lilliana of the Veil, Cavern of Souls, 2x Scalding Tarn, Verdant Catacombs, Misty Rainforest, 2x Damnation, Goblin Guide and some others but those are the $20 or more cards...

I think wotc wants me to start playing magic again... not sure how I'm going to do that and sustain my artisan addiction, but life finds a way!


Which format do you guys play? I think I'm going to try to do mostly Modern and maybe some casual legacy with friends.

Been playing since Urza's Block.
