Magic: The Gathering,GO TEAM MS!

pillar can always go to the head for 2, mugging has more trouble doing that if they've actually stabilized, or if they have no board at all.

[dramonic]

The only burn I enjoy is a flipped Chalice.
Is there a card that provokes flipping?
Thatd be a cool card

Only for humans.

[mykonian]

I wonder, with so many people here, would it be possible to have some constructed tournament in mishmash?

[Thestatusquo]

I'm not a huge fan of Saito, if only because I think he's a pretty dirty player. Shrug.

I would play a tournament.

I'm not sure how this part of the spell escaped me for so long >_>

[Sudo_Nym]

I'd play a tournament, as well.

Fate: Commander is fantastic if you're into it; it's all about doing nutter things that you can't get away with in ordinary magic. It's a format where Thragtusk is too small to be worth playing.

If you're not into that, and you're really desperate to eliminate the luck element of magic, you can try Mental Magic.

not sure if srs?

The thing with Commander is, at least with the article I readon it, there are even MORE "you have to have these duh" meta cards, like a bunch of must-include artifacts n shiiit. Because hell, if you have 60 different cards they can't ALL fit the same gimmick, you're gonna need some staple mana artifacts and things.


Though I have been looking for a way to put papa Rakdos in a deck <.<

[dramonic]

Isn't rakdos super easy to play?

[Fate]

Rakdos, Lord of Riots, the card. I haven't seen him any of the srz R/B decks, because of his conditional and CCCC costs.

What's wrong with Mental Magic?

Seriously, though, most of the articles are written for people who are Spikes playing between rounds at PTQs and shit. If you're just playing a casual game with friends, it's more than acceptable to just use whatever cards seem like fun.

[Fate]

I was hoping you'd explain what Mental Magic

is

to save me from looking it up but here we go

[Gammagooey]

pretty sure mental magic is memorize a million cards and then you can pretend to play something with the same mana cost as the card you actually have (so any card with 1R can be searing spear or that 2/1 goblin bloodrush dude or uh ironfang or something)

[Fate]

ohjeesus

[Sudo_Nym]

Way we play it, you only need to match the Converted Mana Cost, but if you name a spell that's already been used this game, you lose.

[Thestatusquo]

The way I've always played it, you can play a land each turn, that land produces any color, then you each draw from a stack of shuffled magic cards. The best part is that it really doesn't matter what they are, so long as the casting costs are at least somewhat mixed. Then you play a normal game of magic where any card can be played as any magic card in the game with the same casting cost (Boomerang can be counterspell, but not mana leak.) Usually we played with the legacy banned list. Sometimes we felt like playing time walks so we didn't.

[Thestatusquo]

Also, in commander no one really cares. Like, theres always that one asshole in the group who has sol ring in his deck and beta duel lands, but you can pretty much do whatever the fuck you want in commander.

[Thestatusquo]

What format for the tournament? I would be most interested in playing modern or legacy. Not a huge fan of standard. And type one is sweet but no one wants to play it but me.

[dramonic]

Not standard would be sweet. None of my decks are standard

[Thestatusquo]

Well... One of the best things about an online tournament is you're not restricted to cards you own in real life?

I'm in. I vote either Standard or Modern, but I'd be up for Legacy too. (I can play cheese-bag combo wherever I go, so I'm happy)

[Thestatusquo]

Type one is the king of cheese bag combo.

[Sudo_Nym]

Which is why I don't like it for a tourney. Type One is super fun if you're sitting down with another serious player, but it's not fun with a semi-casual, or in a tourney where you care a lot about not getting 55% t1ed.

Modern or Legacy would be cool; I lean slightly towards Modern, but I don't have a strong opinion on that. We could try getting a MYOS completed.

[Debonair Danny DiPietro]

I would likely play Standard to give the deck I'm building IRL some test runs and maybe Modern; not interested in Legacy or Vintage.
