Magic the Gathering

So a bunch of people at my school got into it, so I decided to as well. I bought a deck starter kit (4 booster packs, +225 other cards) for $20. I made a deck with a mixture of mountain and plains cards. Game is pretty fun. In one of the boosters I got a "Gideon Jura" card. Which is apparently rare. None of my friends know how to use a planes walker though, so I can't use him :(

Also, got an iPad a few weeks back. I really like it. Use it for school, typing, keeping my textbooks together. I might do a review.

He does the +2 and then during your opponents turn, all creatures are required to attack. It's an easy way to let your opponents cautious creatures get plucked off and leaves your opponent wide open for a strong attack, plus you can just kill one of their tapped creatures or slap 'em with a 6/6 Gideon.

I've been using Karn a lot lately though and he's been bossing games for me. If you get him out early (which I commonly do playing green ramp) I can just own for the rest of the game. Remove your opponents creatures from the game, exile their cards from their hand, and if you have a good enough defense, starting exiling Emrakul from your hand, do his -14, and restart the game with an Emrakul in play plus anything else exiled.

I was also playing some meh Blue/Green infect deck I through together a while ago and it was able to crush my friend's overpowered Goblins deck. Just countered all his Siege Gang Commanders and Goblin Chieftains and he couldn't even hit me with a lackey. Just used Blighted Agents to get him to 10 counters.

I have two Gideons, and they are very awesome. If you run Gideon, Day of Judgement is awesome, cuz it lets Gideon swing away.
Mirran Crusader is also a favorite of mine.

I have a B/U control deck which I love sooooo much. Nothing like not letting your opponent play anything, and then stealing the creatures they end up playing. Then play (Geth, Lord of the Vault), (Sheoldred, Whispering One), Grave Titan, or Frost Titan.

My B/R Aggro Vampires is near unstoppable among my group of friends. It shits vampires, and kills opposing creatures, a blast to play with.
 
@Zarkz your quote tags are messed up.


I'm not really that much of card collector. I use to collect Yu Gi oh cards, but then got bored and just gave them to people who would probably have better use out of them me.

isn't Magic from like 20 years ago? I never got into card games myself (I only got yugioh cards that had female characters on it)[/quote]

Magic began in 1993 and has been the most popular TCG ever since. Pretty much every other trading card game has elements from Magic in it.

Also, Magic doesn't have girls in it, you say?

How about Liliana Vess?

Chandra Nalaar?

Akroma, Angel of Wrath?

There are tons of bitches in Magic.

Are they any less interesting than the women of YuGiOh?

Take one look at a classy portrayal of womanhood such as Injection Fairy Lily, and it should be immediately apparent that there must be a vast and rich tapestry of lore supporting her (not to mention the giant syringe).

Didn't say that, I just said I never got into MTG, and the only card game that I was remotely interested in, Yugioh, only had some cards with female chars on it.

also Tourguide from the Underworld card is such a hottie if the card wasn't so expensive and useful in battles I'd get a bunch of'em
 
I can't wait until tomorrow. Gonna play some games at lunch tomorrow. Hopefully I won't lose too bad :P
