one magic card that represents you

[KLS]

if one magic card could represent you what would it be?
to me it'd be a birds of paradise
birds of paradise whenever i use it
it brings me lots of good luck
without it i'd be doomed
birds are the best things next to instant bowl-ramen
without these 2things in my life i can't live

[Kenny_C.002]

Wow. I don't know what represents me most. NEver thought about it... :P

[lil' jose]

Magic as in Magic the Gathering or Yu-Gi-Oh! Magic?

[KLS]

Magic The Gathering
we all know that they changed "magic cards" into "spell cards"

[Kenny_C.002]

Yup. It's a way to avoid Magic sueing them for a couple billion and winning. lol

[digi-kun]

XD k so i dont really know if a card really...represents me...so...i dunno

[John Denver]

I'm the thunder ball...it's comes in...wreacks havok...then just leaves

it's all good

BOO ya!

[Kenny_C.002]

Dakota, it's called Ball lightning...named after the natural pheonomenon (sp?). Of course, you know that, i'm just remoinding you. lol :P

[Kabutops]

A magic card that represents me... MAGMA SLIVER!!! or any sliver for that matter. they're there to help eachother. i back my friends up.

[John Denver]

Oh yeah...ball lightning! hah! I forgot!


6/6
Trample, Haste, First Strike

It's so nice

BOO ya!

[KLS]

Ball Lightning=timmy
Magma Sliver=2/3 johnny 1/3 timmy
Birds Of Paradise=1/2 spike 1/2 johnny

[Kenny_C.002]

Ball Lightning RRR
Creature - (ah crap, forgot creature type)
Trample, Haste
At the end of turn, sac. Ball Lightning
6/1

Ish that one, right Dakota?

btw, it's 1/2 Timmy, 1/2 Spike.

Anyway, still pondering...probably going with Slobad tho (honourable planeswalker guy...).

[KLS]

or more like 2/3 timmy 1/3 spike
slobad the card sucks man
if only they gave him a better effect

[Kenny_C.002]

Meh, best sub for Ravager I got. lol

Anyway, gotta find a good card to be! :P

[KLS]

Ravager is way to expensive it's not even THAT good
ok fine maybe it is THAT good
STILL IT'S OVERRATED

[John Denver]

Ball lightning...how much is the casting cost?

[3][mountain]

[KLS]

no just 3 mountains
not 3 colorless/mountain

[Kenny_C.002]

We represent it with "RRR"

Anyway, Ravager is quite overrated for its power, I mean I knew about it long before those idiot spikers even thought of it. lol

[KLS]

man i woulda thought of the best combo for an affinity deck and if skullclamp was still alive
genesis chamber + skullclamp = pWnAgE

[Kenny_C.002]

lol. That WAS the combo I used. and It's still very good. I knew you would've thought of it before those idiot spikeys. :P

turn 4 kills! YEAH!

[KLS]

affinity deck with that combo is unbeatable
have out an Mycosynth and your really unbeatable

[Kenny_C.002]

With the golem? I still can't push to turn 3 with chambers tho...

[KLS]

i use scales/tooth of chross-goria
it's like free a add up

[Kenny_C.002]

I guess. Although I'm not a big fan of neither the scales nor the teeth. lol

[John Denver]

doh! I forgot what skull clamp does...I know I saw the artwork where this one gay guy had his mouth open or something

[Kenny_C.002]

skullclamp 1
Artifact - equipment
equipped creature gets +1/-1
Whenever the equipped creature is sent to the graveyard, draw 2 cards.
Equip 1

INSANELY BROKEN THE FIRST TIME I SAW IT! I like it still tho, I thought R&D purposely made this and let it through, tho.

[KLS]

skull clamp is the very first card banned from the type 2

[Kenny_C.002]

Actually, there were many more before its time. But it is the first type 2 ban for 4 years (Mercadian Masques block) and the first block constructed ban for 5 years (MEMORY JAR from Ursa's Saga block).

[KLS]

well it's "officially" the first type 2 banned card

[Kenny_C.002]

Well it's the first uncommon to be officially banned in type 2, if that's what you mean. I know for a fact that the port was banned officially along with the Rebel legend during the Mercadian Masques days. Both are rares. I think you mean that Type 2 didn't exist or something, but it was just like the beginning of extended if I recall, when Mercadian Masques came out (i.e. Type 2's there).

[KLS]

what does Mercaidian Masques do?

[Kenny_C.002]

O_O

Haven't been been around the block for a while, have you? Mercadian Masques is the block before Invasion. Invasion is the board before Odyssey.

Mercadian Masques is the block after Combo Winter (Urza's Saga block), which signalled the rebirth of magic (with some brokenness that they had to smooth out with bannings).

btw, if you were wondering, nemesis (second set in the Masques block) had some of the worst card and the best cards in the block. lol

[KLS]

i thought it was a car
memory jar is just rigged no wonder it's banned

[Kenny_C.002]

lol. In Nemesis, there was a rebel LEGEND that was banned. It's like the only legend to ever be banned. lol

[KLS]

what does it do anyways?
is it that good?

[Kenny_C.002]

It's cuz what she can do is search of ANY rebel with X mana cost and put it into play by just tapping her and paying X. This gave her so much synergy with rebels that every rebel deck ran 4. It came down to whoever playing her first wins the game, that's all. And her casting cost is like 4 or something, which is a deal (since there are rebels that make you pay 5 to search of a rebel with mana cost of 4 or lower and put it into play). this rebel deck is also immune to wraths and stuff due to the fact that there is some rebel that brings rebels back (and the cycle begins anew). So now we just patriach's bidding, then they used rebels. lol

btw, mercenaries had a push in Masques too, but they were generally horrific.

[KLS]

yeah but rebel's aren't that good i mean i've NEVER seen a rebel deck
well at least not type 2 lol

[Kenny_C.002]

Cuz rebels don't exist in type 2, that's why. you'll find them in type 2 if you go back 3 or 4 years, tho. It was a defining deck similar to Red Zone 2K2 decks in the invasion/odyssey type 2. Well the closest thing to it in type 2 currently is probably goblin bidding. The difference is that rebels are white/black and that you serach your deck for more rebels along with playing them (it's like double the fun!). Definitely it is still a contender against the new type 2 decks.

[KLS]

oh i see
why not include rebels though?

[Kenny_C.002]

Well in type two Masques already rotated out. It's in extended, tho. Anyway, rebels won't be making a comeback anytime soon (used mechanic, won't use it for a while).

[KLS]

what's in
elf&nail
tooth&nail
artifact deck (i.e rav/affin,memnarch deck)
goblins?
eternal/exalted deck
what's out?
everything else
i think kenz would disagree you could tell me what you like and dislike

[Kenny_C.002]

Tourney scene, what's in:
Affinity
Goblin Bidding
Tooth and Nail (Elf&nail is gone)
UW Control
Crystal Shard (deck)
GFC Freshmaker
Slide (normal R/W slide)
mono-green
Shackles deck (?????)

No changes to decks other than slide probably SBing out the Damping Matrixes. Tooth and Nail probably would be back to 12post style in type 2 due to the fact that Slide now also uses green. UW control is considered one of the big dogs along with goblin bidding (which is in its normal form now). Affinity will probably be playing fireworks, taking the last of the rock-paper-scissors slot.

Finally, I'm adding to this list! YEAH! Crystal shard decks run 4 eternal witnesses. They also run a heck of a lot of counterspells and removal. The kill combo probably will come from just little hacks from different creatures (e.g. solemn simulacrum). so basically it's a control deck with massive removal and countering so you can safely go through for 10 turns to win. lol

GFC Freshmaker is the new red/green deck that runs sloggers (COMEBACK!), removal, and eternal witnesses. Really, the only difference between shard deck and freshmaker is that the coutnerspells are taken out for burn cards and the red creatures from freshmakers are replaced with artifact creatures in shard decks. I know, they're pretty much the same thing, but they're REALLY that good.

MONO GREEN MAKES A COMEBACK! Yup, it's finally here, the beacon, the echoing courage, the massive amounts of artifact removal. It's all back in action. Basically this deck kills artifacts before slapping the beacon onto the field, then echoing courage for a heck of a lot of damage. Very strong and placed a strong finish in some tourneys (well not as strong as GFC Freshmaker and Shard decks).

I'm not sure whether to put the shackles deck in or not, but it probably is a contender. it's basically a march of the machines deck with shackles to steal stuff. It's got the usual UW control stuff long with it, also. It's a deck to be reckoned with (I guess you can call it a UW variation).

What's not in Tourney:
Elf&Nail (no clamp)
Cemetery Cloud (no clamp)
White Weenies (no clamp)
any rogue deck that used clamp
Creature Slide

Sorry, but creature slide will NOT BE MAKING A COMEBACK! BOO!!!!!!!! Well i'll still be playing creature slide. lol

Casual, what's in:
Sunburst decks
stuff involving us johnnies lol
Auriok Champion decks (multiplay)
Combo decks
Shackle decks (those are FUNNY)

What's not:
The usual tourney stuff lol

[KLS]

yeah i thought elf/nail wouldn't work because without the clamp it's rating went WAY down

[Kenny_C.002]

Yeah. I'll keep an eye out for GFC Freshmakers. Those might be around for a while. lol

[KLS]

it's so freaking annoying
those sloggers
the sloggers are the finishers
you know that right?

[Kenny_C.002]

Yup. Sloggers are finishers unlike shard decks (just like random creatures killing ppl lol).

[KLS]

i had 11 cards left on my deck
my friend had 2 life,i was down to 3
he had a colossus on the field i had an arc-slogger
i thought i was gonna deck out
it's THAT risky

[Kenny_C.002]

Nice! Risky is my middle name! I make risky combos that hang on threads! (like the death pits/grave pact deck I have, just pure risks)

[KLS]

are you kidding?
kenny i had 1 card on my deck it was pure luck that i won

[Kenny_C.002]

Naw, I don't think it's pure luck. Just that you kinda took some bigger risks than usual. lol

[KLS]

which i s highly unlikely because i am a spike

[Kenny_C.002]

Not really. It depends on the type of Spike you are. Some Spikes do calculate everything down to the wire (mostly the spike/johnnies).

[KLS]

i'm a spike/johnny 70%=spike 30%=johnny
kenny you seem like more of a johnny/spike to me 70%=johnny 30%=spike

[Kenny_C.002]

Funny the thing came up pure Johnny for me huh! I probably am a bit spikey in some days tho, so I don't doubt it. lol

[KLS]

most of the time i'd do anything to win
but than again i'd like to have fun winning instead of JUST winning

[Kenny_C.002]

Me? I don't care for winning as much tho...

[KLS]

oh yes to me winning is everything

[Kenny_C.002]

lol. Oh those darn spikeys. lol Not you tho, but at least half of the rest of them. lol

[KLS]

you johnnies scare me oh yes you do

[Kenny_C.002]

Yo don't mess wit us Johnnies that are raised on the streets...of Eternia. lol

btw, I just got my 4th Eternal Witness today! Yay! Also got some Mercadian Masques cards for no reason. Got only crap rares tho...ahh at least I got brainstorm out of it. lol

[KLS]

me....got them witnesses LONG AGO
sold them for $5 a piece
**** they're selling like hotcakes on a cold winterstorm in korea

[Kenny_C.002]

Yup. lol

The pricing doesn't seem to drop either. :P

o btw, you do know brainstorm, right?

[KLS]

of course brainstorms are really good

[Kenny_C.002]

k. They tried with serum visions and I have to say that it's a VERY good try. Almost equal power level too...

[KLS]

i'm a fan of blue spells myself....
rewind is one of my favorite counters

[Kenny_C.002]

Yeah. Free counters are always good. Man, remember the times with time walks and timetwisters and...yeah. :P

Blue before onslaught = broken. :D

[KLS]

yep now blue's compacity went down

[Kenny_C.002]

Yeah. The colour wheel revision was basically "take stuff from blue and stick them to other colours". And occasionally we'll take stuff from green, which will just magically disappear. *sigh*

[digi-kun]

BTW whteva happened 2 the MTG thread? its not on the 1st page anymore :o
blasty could u...um...clear ur PM box seriously i cant get anything in

[KLS]

@digispirit virus ok i just did
actually i think magic revived with the effort of me(not too sound so conceited but here's what i remember)
kenny was going there and there about magic but ever since i started posting here we've got the drafting weeks (kenny brought it up first lol),then we have the rate my decks things and now it seems like Magic is bigger here

[digi-kun]

good idea (goes 2 drafting area)

[Kenny_C.002]

lol Yeah. And I'm in my budget mode right now. :P

[KLS]

we also have selecting 9th edition
