Magic the Gathering

Raikon · April 08, 2009, 08:20:18 PM

Well, since I'm such a nerd I had to bring this up...

For those of you who don't know, Magic is a popular TCG. There are 5 different colours (white/blue/black/red/green) that you can make decks around to use. The main objective is to knock your opponent's life down from 20 to 0 using various creatures and spells (sounds like pretty much every card game >_>).

I currently play every friday at the FNM (friday night magic) tournaments at Wally's down on Hastings. I am also studying to become a judge and will be judging at the prerelease event for Alara Reborn at BCIT on April 25th. I have been playing for a couple years now (a.k.a. huge nerd) so if anyone ever has any more questions about Magic the Gathering I'm willing to help out.

I only collected the Kamigawa cards cause they were japanese. I have a Red/White samurai deck. It sucks but I still use it.

I used to be VERY into this game, won a fair bit of money as a kid :)

I play magic pretty well.....I'd be down for any games as long as I don't have prior commitments
I run a red green black devour deck from shards and a green black elf deck

Ember, March of the Machines is such a cool card, good job.

As for decks....I've always been one who didn't enjoy netdecking much. The only time I ever did was the Ravnica/TimeSpiral Dragonstorm deck, which also sows that I'm usually the combo deck player. Time to take a trip down memory lane...(sorry if some of you have no idea about the cards I'm about to mention)

First deck: Platinum Angel/Diplomatic Immunity control. First deck I ever made, out of random cards I liked just to play for fun with friends.

Deck 2: March/Station combo. Thus why I say March of the Machines is awesome. It was also my first FNM deck.

Deck 3: Kamigawa land/hand control. This was an interesting deck, and Azami was awesome.

Deck 4: Dragonstorm combo. Bringing out 4 big dragons in 1 turn was always a thumbs up for me.

Deck 5: Triskelivus control. Urzatron to hold down spellburst, then just fly in with triskelivus. Controls usually fun, as long as I don't think TOO much.

Deck 6: Megrim/Rack/Wistful Thinking combo. Random fun deck I made, worked out a lot better then I planned.

Deck 7: Solarbeam (mana ramp/blaze combo). Named after my original pokemon TCG deck, land thinning like np. Seedguide Ash was never though bad of again.

Deck 8: Dark Solarbeam. Same idea, but ran with balck and Profane Command insted of blaze for more control options.

Deck 9: Dragon aggro. Fun deck to make use of Dramatic Entrance, 8/8 turn 3 was so cool.

Current Deck: Solarbeam v2. Banefire was too good to resist, along with Martial Coup. White gave more control options, and ran rainbow for Exploding Borders.

I'm now waiting to see how Alara Reborn will turn out before I make my next deck. All gold set...should be interesting.

P.S. Last Sunday I judged my very first event, and got a pretty good review. I'll also be judging the Alara Reborn prerelease, and will have a chance to take the L1 test and become a certified judge.

Make it friday and you got yourself a meet. If you don't already have a games shop in mind, I kinda wanna suggest a games shop I used to visit every friday night for magic and 40k battles. They have a huge back room with couches and a pool table. They order pizza and have those magic things where everyone pitches in for a box set and has a tourny.
