Magic the Gathering

I'll be at Champs for sure.  Whether I'm judging or playing is a whole different question.

[Arcane_Fox]

Well I'll see you there then ^.^

[Raikon]

I'd agree but I've never met you so I have no idea how to meet up with you >_>

Also, pretty sure I'm not judging this.  It just means I'll have to crush everyone in the tournament =D

[Arcane_Fox]

I'll just say hi to you or something, I believe my friend knows what you look like (I've probably seen you b4 too, I've been to some events at Engineer's Aud.)

And if that fails I -might- wear my fox toque >_________> (I'll be wearing mah wolf shirt for sure tho)

PS: I hope Niko is judging (or at least there) ^.^

[Raikon]

You know Niko?  Who's your friend that knows me?  Is it Malicai?  Is he coming too?  Why am I asking so many questions?  I like waffles?

Also, I think I finally decided on a deck to play.  Only hint: it's the opposite of what I normally play.

[Arcane_Fox]

I'm pretty sure my friend doesn't actually "know" you, more like has seen you judge at events. Who's Malicai lol? =3

And yah I've seen Niko around at StrongHold sometimes.

PS: I usually play at Cravings

[Malissa]

Im malicai XD didn't go to champs though.  Maybe next year

Even though I did not read the entire thread I just wanted to say that I too play MTG every Friday night at the Clayton's Mall here in Sechelt. We have an average group size of 6-15 people and I have been playing (not consistently though) ever since Mirage/4th ed came out back in 1995 I think it was. I have way to many decks to list what I play. I play at the local non-standard tournaments occasionally (when they are up and running anyways) otherwise I am a casual player that enjoys playing the game more than wining. Because to me it's all about having fun with friends and if I win well that is just an added bonus xD

YAY MTG , I was knocked out by a stupid tie for the PTQ otherwise i was top 10 =(

Damn players having all the luck... Hellkite , 3 arrests, precursor golem and a freaking koth =( ruined my day

[Roxxy_Starrz]

I have been curious about this as there seems to be a few more MTG player showing up in our community as of late.
What formats do you all play? Personally I am a 'broad spectrum' player when it comes to the formats available and have several decks that are tailored for each type of format. My personal favorites are EDH and Teams  ^_^


Edit: I forgot to mention that I am more of a casual player than anything, but my group here on the coast likes to mix things up so we play a variety of different formats like: EDH, Assassin, Two-Headed, Team, 5-Star, Arch Enemy, and Emperor.

I has no idea how MtG works but curious if we have enough ppl to get together and play!

I played as a kid, and still have ~2000 cards kicking about.  They're getting super dusty,  but if people want to play casually FFA or simple team matches, I'm down for that.  I don't know any tournament "formats" or how they work, unfortunately.  I'm also out of date on the current rules, but I know the basics well enough to handle that.  Plus, I can supply about 5 - 6 semi-decent decks for learning with.

I've been getting back into it (since stopping after highschool) because my gaming group likes it. We spend a lot of time playing 2v2s, but we've been eyeing the scheme packs (one versus three). Playing with more htan two people always seems more fun, as there's more strategy involved, and we get to play around with variant rules like team life pools and friendly targeting.

I personally have about seven decks. I don't know the current tournament rules, though, so I couldn't tell you if any of them are tournament legal - I just know which ones are fun to play and which aren't fun to play against. Funny how they're usually the same.

We've also played around with the idea of doing our own single draft, but we haven't committed to spending the money, so, for now, it's just free matches and teams. :3

Ultimately, I don't think we know a lot of the more traditional formats. A lot of the ones you mention, for instance, Roxxy, I'm unfamiliar with. What's Emperor?

[Zetta]

i usually just play casually in standard format, but occasionally i do drafts or a 'Bitch' match.

i dunno if you know what bitch matches are or not so if anyone wants to know then ask :V

[Luna]

I can't give new input here since I just play with Skitkat.
1v1s, 2v2s, shared 2v2s, 4p FFAs, 5pFFAs. ^^
