MTG Salvation

These are from experiences, and I'm not generalizing.
We have a facebook mtg group. Some of the people there are fat. I traded / bought cards from some of them (e.g. meet at a mall fastfood to trade cards). They sit opposite from me at a small table in the fastfood, and I don't smell anything bad at all.

I currently don't discriminate against fat players. Maybe because I haven't met anyone yet who smelled terrible like some people in this thread describe them.

I thought that shirt was really funny and many of the non American users here can probably understand this too. LOL.

@Wichtelman

Congratulations on reaching the semifinals.
I see that your list could really have explosive starts with the tombs + opals, it's a fun build with chalice. Steel Overseer is an odd choice, since a lot of people consider it to be too slow, glad it worked out for you.

I say we drop them all off in Grixis, set up television cameras, and syndicate it as a reality-tv show. "Idiots in Grixis", "Survivor: Grixis", "Big Zombie". The possibilities are endless.:D

With the grunting of brain-hungry zombies chasing prey, and the horrified screams of the contestants when caught by zombies. How long would they survive? Nobody knows! It would be probably one high rated TV show.

*just kidding ok

Thanks.

Hi. Need a clarification on this one.

For example, a morph creature is being cast facedown for 3. Will a Spell Blast for 0 (X = 0) counter it?

If I was a post-mending planeswalker..

Places I prefer to visit / live in.

1. Lorwyn - the place looks beautiful. Assuming Rhys and the elves won't be hostile to foreigners.

2. Kamigawa - visit and socialize. Admire the tourist destinations like Eiganjo Castle (assuming it has been rebuilt).

3. Mercadia - I would often stop by over in this plane to trade goods and stuffs.

Places I would avoid.

1. Sarpadia - don't want to be fighting Thrulls all day, or possibly killed by them. In the story they've evolved to the point that they're strong enough to repel a phyrexian attack - with no planeswalker helping them.

2. New Phyrexia - don't like to live inside a sauna (furnace layer).

3. Grixis - each day would be a nightmare. Won't stay in it.

Thanks.

Hi. When I activate Dust Bowl, can the land I sacrifice be among the ones I used to pay for the cost?

For example, I have Dust Bowl and 3 plains, activate ability of dust bowl with the 3 plains. Can I sacrifice one of those 3 plains for the ability?

but then I lose interest with the deck after a month and I stop adding money to it.


I only play twice a month at most and am in more for the experience and social aspect.

One of my cousins has a similar habit. Buy packs, make rogue decks that are good for casual, but stand little chance against competitive Standard decks. Then after awhile (usually a month or two), he lose interest and give away most of the cards.

If opening packs is what makes the game enjoyable to you, then just keep doing it.

Quote from Danserious

Right now I am testing these cards for my sideboard:

3 Ethersworn Canonist
2 Meekstone
2 Defense Grid
3 Grafdiggers' cage
2 Whipflare
3 Phyrexian revoker

Thoughts?

For which match-ups are the Defense Grids for?
Would be better if you mention what decks you commonly encounter in your meta.

Don't feel like I've wasted money on buying singles. If it's an expensive card I think it over carefully, like whether that Taiga is needed - and indeed it's needed because my Zoo won't work competitively without it. Cheaper singles (e.g. Tormod's Crypt, Smelt from M13) that I buy go as sideboard cards for legacy decks, stored in a binder for use when the metagame demands it.

I don't buy booster packs anymore. But years ago I did, and would agree that it's fun opening them.

@themike314, Crypt Rat, mabberman

The suggestions are appreciated.

*gives thanks

Sorry, should have said right from the start why I was looking for land that doesn't turn back into a creature. The reason that I wanted something like Gargoyle Castle is for use in a casual fun SFM deck. Because in mid to late game, I would often run out of creatures to equip. Lands that can become creatures are a nice backup plan. However, re-equipping to manlands that turn back to a land at end of turn sort of ties up my mana. For example, re-equipping Batterskull to a Stirring Wildwood and turning the Wildwood itself back to a creature so it can be equipped takes a lot of mana.

Zuko's suggestion of Springjack Pasture fit my deck perfectly.
Already found what I'm looking for.

Quote from LMTRK

If you ask them to do something they enjoy doing anyway, then they are more likely to stick around.

"Thank you for letting me share the mana bonds you have formed with the lands you have visited. I have gained fresh insight into those planes, and I am invigorated by the mana that flowed through me."

Something like that.

Or Chandra "You want me to blow stuff up?! I'l do that for free!"

~ Tim

Yeah. And it depends on the personality of the planeswalker on how they reply. For example, Chandra probably says things similar to what Jaya Ballard says.

@PopeJp

I'm looking for lands that produce a creature, and the creature don't turn back into a land. I already know about Khalni Garden and Dark Depths, but don't know about Kher Keep. 1R for a 01 sounds nice. Thanks.

Wow. So many that I don't know about.
The City Tree looks cool. And that's a funny goat producing land.

Well, the reason I asked is because lands like them are sort of fun in casual games. As a one of in decks that can support them. Thanks again for the useful info.
