I know how to play, but I'm not actively involved with the game.

I play.


My preferred deck is black, with lots of zombies. And skeletons. And plenty of cards with Persist or Unearth, as well a stuff like Raise Dead. Add the card that gives every zombie and skeleton +1/+1 as long as its on the field, and, well, you know...


I call it 'Bad horror movie', because those keep spawning sequels.

I used to quite a few years ago, maybe close to ten. I liked red the most but could play really well with a mixed deck. I think one of my favorites was a black and green. Then there was a blue pipper that was a tournament king.

The deck I'm playing with currently is a nice combination of Jace, Lilliana, Lord of Extinction, and Nemesis of Reason. I hardly ever win at the stupid game unless I play that deck. lol.

Gosh I haven't played in about 3 to 5 years or something. I still do like my bird and zombie decks. I also like my boomerang/discard deck. Of course my I'll take the next 5 turns no wait lets make that next 30 turns blue deck is really nice.

I quit for the last time a long time ago.  That game changes too damned much.  I started sorta late (Revised - some friends started with Beta) and played through (off and on) until something like 5th or 6th.  Can't remember.  Thing is, the game is pretty much unrecognizable now.  Some friends still play but I'll never get back into it.  No time to keep up with that nonsense.  I may look at buying a Chaos Orb, though.  Just cuz.  I wish I never sold mine.  I regret selling a few other cards, but that one still bugs me the most.

Did you ever have one of those uncommon black lotuses because those are so rare now and a part of a few of the strongest one turn kill combos they've now come to be worth tons of money?

I never had a Lotus.  I did have an Unlimited Ruby, a Beta Ruby, an Unlimited Jet, a Beta Forcefield, a Beta Fork, a Beta Berserk, an Unlimited and signed Berserk, a couple signed Eurekas, a Mana Drain (I think), 2 Library of Alexandria (one I paid $10 for), a set of dual lands (twice) - some Unlimited, a Gravity Sphere and a ton of other nice crap.  I almost bought a Lotus but decided against it at the last moment.  I sold all my crap again shortly thereafter.  If I bought an Orb, I'd just put it in one of them nice plastic covers and leave it in a drawer somewhere or something.  It was a cool card and I actually got to use it once or twice.

I used to play all the time.  Then I had kids and for some reason my cards just started dissappering for some odd reason.

I used to play. I've got probably 1,000+ cards (haven't counted them) that someone gave me back in the mid-90's or so. I'm going to be selling them once I can figure out what they should go for.

I plan to go through the cards this weekend*. If I do have a Chaos Orb, I'll put it aside to give you the exclusive crack at it.


 


 


*Note, I said I plan to go through them. You know how life gets!

Sweet. Cool

Yeah, life can sure spring some goofy stuff on ya.  Whenever you get around to it is fine with me.  Thanks for the consideration!

On and off, since it came out.


It's been a few years right now, but that's just because it's such an expensive habit. We're talking about doing a draft pretty soon.
