    Ah, we think we figured it out. You can't use abilities like that at the beginning of blockers step, so I had to use muta during declare attackers correct? So fall could be used to kill it.

    Opponent has thrill kill assassin and declares it as an attacker.
    I wait until declare blockers and activate mutavault and declare it as a blocker

    is there any way my opponent can use fall of the hammer before mutavault can block?

    It's still greasy to not inform people of the value of their cards, but in fairness they live in this world, where everything has a value and the internet exists. Look the damn **** up.


    I can't look things up because I can't afford the monthly data plan on a smart phone on a college student's lack of income. So I should be treated as less than another who can in a trade?

    Bleh I'm sorry I'm taking this thread off topic. Ignore me.

    It is completely different, its not thievery, they are negotiating a trade, and no one if forcing them to. Your implying that everyone who engages in a trade that is more financially beneficial to one side of the party is a thief.

    You might as well take the guys wallet in the middle of buying dinner, and tell him he is not responsible enough to carry it himself.


    A. They are negotiating at a disadvantage. That's not "negotiating," that's taking things from someone who does not know what they're worth. A better example persay (as my first was rash, I do admit) would be a person coming from europe to the US and paying for a private service in euros, not dollars (but with the dollar amount) without knowing that currency has different value in different places. Once again, my question stands. Would you take the money or report someone who did so?

    B. How is what you said any different than what you are doing in a rip off trade? Besides not saying anything to them?

    C. I have no problem with trading up, as long as both parties are informed. I recently traded about 3 dollars of crap rares for 3 temples. I repeatedly told the guy what his cards were worth, but he said he did not want them anymore as he was not planning on using them and wanted the other rares more. My point here is as long as both parties know what side a trade is favoring, I have no problem with that practice, and there is no way a trade could be done if values had to be EXACTLY matching anyway.

    People's morals confuse me.

    Let's put it this way. You are a pickpocket and take my wallet. It's literally bursting with cash, mostly in 20s. You take 100, which I will never know is gone. You put the wallet back, no one is the wiser, and you just paid for dinner for the next couple of days.

    Ok, now imagine you saw that pickpocket do the same.

    And you don't say anything.

    how is that any different than someone trading for 3 mutavaults with a 50 cent rare? How could you keep quiet in that situation? How could you do that in the first place.

    No one knows as the article on it isn't explicit. Most stores should have gotten their supply by now. If some people open it early, we'll know. Otherwise, we likely won't know until after the midnight pre-releases.


    I shall ask again friday morning then thanks!

    Sorry if this is in the wrong place.

    Does anyone have an idea how the god distribution among the prerelease packs works? are the gods found in both of their color packs?

    For example, if I choose black, can I get mogis OR phenax?

    I was going to do some linework for my trade thread but making banners for each color and the walkers would have been vvveerrry time consuming and looked really really really bad at low resolution so all this work that I did went to waste.

    if it helps, I really like how it turned out. But once again, low resolution is my worst enemy.

    Quote from travelsonic
    Not to throw the thread offtopic intentionally:

    IMO strictly: Those cotton things hipsters wear: Not ****ing fedoras, period. Those things you see in old 20s and 30s photos, the hats Indiana Jones wears, made out of rabbit or beaver fur.... those are fedoras... and I wear one proudly [made by the person who made the hats for the 4th IJ movie too. :D].

    Sorry, people bringing up fedoras reminded me of this little tick that bugged the hell out of me, especially once hispters were brought into it.


    Anywhoo... one misconception that bugs the hell out of me: That MTG players are people who can't have GFs, dates. In my playgroup, almost everyone has a BF or GF [yes, guys AND girls in my group] or is engaged or married even. I had a GF, lost her to her immaturity and infidelity... and to a brony too, funnily given the idiotic/false stereotypes surrounding them.


    Bringing up the other popular misconception, that males are the only people who play. They dominate the game, but other genders are all over as well.

    I am also shuffling between both games. So far its pretty good.



    I finally have a team together and i can start battling. I do not have much bp items because i traded them all away. My first time ever playing in a competitive battle and with incorrect items i was still able to take a game from a friend (though lost in 3).

    Battling is pretty fun, though i need to learn types more and figure out strategies. I got next leveled a few times by my opponent he was able to predict me pretty well.


    Here's something to help out with the typing if you need it:
