Lets Play Magic!

[BoneMonkey]

so who is up for a game ? my room will be open now

 

[Cermage]

got the stuff, probably start playing tmw. need to make a deck first though =( no idea yet =P also using the champions deck from the deck list in the first post doesn't mean its the best deck out there. find what suits you best, i've taken a liking to a deck from an artifact deck - mirrodin i bought a few years ago. ill see if that ability is still in the newer cards.

 

[Urza]

I'm not sure "champions" would be the correct term for Magic-League tourny winners..

Anyways, like I mentioned before, practicing with already existing tier 1 decks is likely the best way to get back into the game, as it familiarizes you with the best cards and strategies in the meta, which helps two-hold (you in future deck building, and in predicting what your opponent will be playing).

 

[RedIce]

Looks like I'll have to make a new deck if I want to play.
My normal fun deck has cards from the mirage block u_u;
It's been quite a while~

 

[BoneMonkey]

the BoneMonkey room is open if anyone wants to fight me

 

[BoneMonkey]

just had like 6 battles with RedIce damn his ravielark deck its too powerful :-(

 

[Cermage]

im trying to get a hold of teh game again, just constructed a sliver deck =P a pre constructed one from Time Spiral xDD.

 

[Zarcon]

Hmm, quick question. When a creature with "Persist" (If this creature has no -1/-1 tokens on it when sent to the graveyard, return it to play with a -1/-1 token) is copied through the effects of another card...if the copy is destroyed, does it have and can it use "Persist"?

[EDIT]

While we're at it, do the "Storm" (Copy this spell for each spell played before it in this turn) count for itself if another card with "Storm" is played afterwards?
IE: I've played 5 spells and then play Grapeshot or something. This would play Grapeshot and 5 copies of it. If I play another Grapeshot card, has there only been 6 spells played before it or 11 (5 copies)?

 

[BoneMonkey]

Me and Urza just had a EPIC battle Urza won at the end :-)

@zarcon you can go to the magic forums and ask in the rules section

grapeshot does 1 dmg to target creature or player and has storm

if you played 5 spells you copy it 5 times so i think you do 6 dmg to target creature or player ?

there is no way your doing 6 spells in a turn and if you do its not worth just 6 dmg lol

now if you play another grapeshot it counts all the spells AND the previous grapeshots aswell

i think lol


and yes if you copy a card you get its abilties so that card would have persisit

It only counts the number of spells played. The copies were put into play, not actually played. Therefore they aren't counted.

As far as Persist is concerned, I'm not positive, but I think if you used something that would actually hit the graveyard (like Body Double), then Persist would still resolve and bring it back into play (even as a different creature if you wanted). If its just a token copy, then the token disappears as soon as it dies, therefore Persist has no target and fizzles.

@Urza: Thanks, I can weed out a few more cards then.

@BoneMonkey: What...what the heck happened in that match?! XD

 

[BoneMonkey]

rofl urza and me are hardcore! lol

can someone explain to me how this card works ?

Pithing Needle


if i put it down and name Tefari's moat will that card be useless :-)

 

[Urza]

Pithing Needle

As Pithing Needle comes into play, name a card.
Activated abilities of sources with the chosen name can't be played unless they're mana abilities.

 

[Urza]

No, as it only stop activated abilities (which are abilities that you have to pay a cost to use, written like [cost]:[effect]). Triggered abilities, or static abilities (like Moat) will be unaffected.

fudge i need a good card that can get rid of enchaments
