From tonight's Group Sex multiplayer game:

Yygdrasil: thats a dick card

Taskmage: I think you mean it's a brufddck card.

Re: Magic: The Gathering

Also why do I see myself doing terribly in this group? XD

Well worst case senario we need someone to hold the camera.

Re: Magic: The Gathering

So is Cid pwning everyone on MTG?

Re: Magic: The Gathering

I think the 4 of us are farily equal to be honest. 1 on 1 Cid and I mostly match up. The games we play that one of us loses... its usually right down to the last hand and very close.

The same goes for TM, his decks have the capacity to be really great/really annoying.

As for YM, his decks are really well built and thought out. Some have specific (and deadly) purpose but it seems to heavily rely on him drawing a good first hand.

Myself... I play with 2 U/W Control Decks, a Mono Green Bear Deck, a Bant Exhaulted Deck and a Rainbow Sliver Deck. For the time being, I'm sticking with those... although I'm giving some strong consideration to a U/Artifact Deck. We'll see.

My undefeated one is the Slivers... but they're borderline cheating anyway... my Trinket/Elixir U/W Control is my favorite.

Re: Magic: The Gathering

Yeah, we're pretty evenly matched for the most part. I think YM is just sore b/c he builds Standard decks and I brought a tournament level Vintage deck, although it probably wouldn't do so well in Vintage these days with all the crazy stuff that's been printed in the last several years.

Re: Magic: The Gathering

I think my record against cid is about even. We both have some decks that are retardedly overpowered, fun decks built around a theme, and things in-between. Against YM I think I have yet to score a victory, but we've only gotten to duel twice. Yyg I've mostly only played in multiplayer games, which tend to be decided more by social forces than by deck strength or skill, but he has at least one deck that inspires boundless rage from me.

I just built a new deck for multiplayer games. Can't wait to try it out. Conjured Currency bouncing around the table is going to be hilarious.

I approve of this entirely.

Re: Magic: The Gathering

That's frightening.

But I have tricks as well. Tricks I refuse to share until the deck im building is complete.

You hit the nail right on the head, mostly. As I prefaced our games with, with unlimited access to every spell printed, you can break the universe infinity times over. And that's hardly any fun; I could just as easily build a Vintage Time Vault lock deck, but how much would either of us enjoy it?

Of course, unless you take some sort of sadistic Spike glee by winning with blatantly overpowered decks, which again, more reason not to play you. Also, for what it's worth, the only Standard deck I play with in Cockatrice is the Budget Standard Deck I have in real life (which managed to win against all three of you in multiplayer); all the rest are Modern.

Yyg, not all my decks are "reliant" on a good hand. Just, by definition, the combo ones. I appreciate the compliment, anyway.

Now I need to think of more decks to make . . .

For Yyg:



Run White maybe?

(IMO, try using the Zendikons over the Genjus, too. Those can Enchant any Land, and they give you the Land back if it ever dies . . . not that it would ever die if you have the above in play.)

Re: Magic: The Gathering

I have three more FFA decks built and I still haven't gotten to play Conjured Currency. This is getting out of hand.

Re: Magic: The Gathering

Good news everyone!
I figured out how to play cards face-down...I think.
Shift + drag card from your hand. It shows it face down, but I'm not sure if it outs it in the chatlog or not.

Re: Magic: The Gathering

People want to play morph creatures?

Re: Magic: The Gathering

I know I want to play Hideaway lands. I should try that, actually.

[Taskmage]

Re: Magic: The Gathering

Name of one such land?

Nevermind. Coincidentally ran across one.
