Magic: The Gathering

It's one of the geek standards, Grish.

Almost all of the 25+ year-olds in IE will have played Magic and Warhammer.

I actually heard about another friend getting back into Magic a couple of days ago. And I have some friends playing Warhammer again, after a break of 10 years.

I guess it's time for Phase 2, or something :)

Surim -- I had a red Sligh deck (ball lightning), but I eventually moved to a White Weenie deck. It had 8 'shadow' creatures from Tempest, so Yoica wouldn't like it... but it was an amazing deck. Savannah Lion! Serra Angel!

Serra Angel, oh how I love thee Serra Angel.

I have 3 of them framed, one of the early ones. I'm actually thinking of buying 1 from Alpha or Beta. It's just that awesome!

Serra Angel was so sick!

I still actively play mtg. DO NOT buy boosters. Don't do it! Construct your deck with some online tools like http://www.mtgdeckbuilder.net/ and buy the cards invidually. Also starter decks are like really bad. If you want to buy preconstructed deck, buy event decks. They are slightly more expensive, but are actually semi good.

im guessing event decks have some sort of special name?

Sparrowhawk · October 23, 2011, 07:39:06 PM

Yeah. They are called "event deck" instead of "intro deck"..

Heres few examples

True story, guilty of both. Got the new edition rulebook for warhammer and some Beastmen a few months back. Was going to start an army but only painted 2 units before stopping. :P

Building your first deck
Five tips for better deck building
Few very good blog posts (by wizards) for building decks. You might want to read them if you are to build your own deck. most important tip: You generally dont want to run less than 24 lands.

If you play multicolored deck with your friends, you might want to concider proxying multicolored lands. Running multicolor decks without proper land base is very annoying. Those lands generally cost 2-5e a piece. So its good idea to proxy those unless you want to pay 3e a piece for lands which you need 4-8 in a deck. So just take a plain land and write the proxy lands name on it Like in this case write copperline gorge on the land.

Note that you obviously cant use proxies if you ever plan to play in tournaments, but proxying lands makes the game that much more pleasant to play with friends. But please dont proxy other cards except lands :P it kinda ruins the game and the whole collecting side of it. Also make sure its ok with your friends to do this.
