Fuck your shit up.

6/16/2008 8:17:56 PM

I spent thousands of monies on this game when I was 10-14. I often wander what I would be like if I didnt spend that much time in this game.....probably dumber...

6/16/2008 8:20:55 PM

It was cool making and tweaking decks based around different strategies, and interacting with the weird fuckers who played it. I definitely stuck out in that crowd.

this is a combo that my friend uses and i fucking hate it

The worst part about M:tG back in the day was interacting with 90% of the people who played it

6/16/2008 8:30:50 PM

yeah....

i let it slip to one of the chicks i met last semester that i used to play and she was like 'oh, my guy friends so and so play, you all would probably get along'

i laughed and was like [NO]

6/16/2008 8:32:09 PM

oh i misread fire whip, my b

there used to be something i did that'd net me some life everytime someone attacked me

think it had something to do with pentagram of the ages, but fuck if i remember at this point (i haven't played seriously in well over a decade or even played at all since 01)

6/16/2008 8:32:41 PM

yeah, i can barely remember the stuff that i played with. last time i really played was in high school, but the shit that they've come out with now is ridiculous and retarded.

6/16/2008 8:34:06 PM

best combos are getting infinite life and causing infinite dmg

6/16/2008 8:37:51 PM

i remember towards the ends of it, i'd throw out a bunch of elves, get a crash of rhinos or two down with spider climb and regeneration, some uktabi wildcats and a quirion druid

then i'd just hammer on people

6/16/2008 8:42:42 PM

i had a killer deck that was built around sapping the player's life point with a bizarre combination of the usually-useless Atog and Ornithopter

i wish i still had my revised edition Force of Nature and Serra Angel.

6/16/2008 8:42:43 PM

I have some older cards that are worth some cash...no power but still some good stuff. i used to do some trading online that was cool. my decks usually dealt with crushing your face, i think they all got disassembled though.

6/16/2008 8:45:42 PM

there was some 0/3 artifact creature that cost 0 to cast that i liked

[Edited on June 16, 2008 at 8:46 PM. Reason : i'm eventually going to rebuy all my stuff that got ated]

6/16/2008 8:46:20 PM

damn some of you are scrubs. posting 3-colored creatures that cost 8 mana to play. by turn 8 most decks can kill you many times over.

6/16/2008 8:52:20 PM

6/16/2008 8:54:37 PM

bitch please, its not the creature that'll kill you anyway, its the deck.

what format are you talking about? Turn 8 can be slow as fuck or getting right into the height of the game.

I used to work at a track out program with middle schoolers who loved magic. I spent a couple bucks building a deck to beat them with as my old cards were so scattered and useless... I used to rip the hell out of them using that combo. Throw in a bunch of red instants and damaging sorceries... it used to get ridiculous. There was some card that doubled damage each time it was calculated, so 1 damage to me would be 2 to the stuffy doll, then 4 to the opponent. Throw in some red instant that does X damage + the urzas lands... ownage.

6/16/2008 8:57:35 PM

^^^I'm talking about any constructed format. hell, even block constructed games can end on turn 5 or 6.

6/16/2008 8:58:54 PM

srsly? what the fuck

definitely didn't have many games that went that fast when i played in tournaments (Type 2 with Psychatog, Time of Need Tooth and Nail, Ravager)

[Edited on June 16, 2008 at 9:08 PM. Reason : tooth and nail, not time of need]

6/16/2008 9:03:24 PM

whenever someone brought out the insta-destroy deck, i'd bring out the fuck-you-red white deck

COPs, salves, blessings, shadowbanes, etc. with an archangel w/ ward of lights on it

6/16/2008 9:05:22 PM

This is in current Standard:

Turn 1:
,

Turn 2:


Tap all 3 elves, play

6/16/2008 9:24:52 PM

Turn 3:

Then tap the new elves and play whatever else you have in your hand.

Turn 4:
Attack for 40 trample damage.

[Edited on June 16, 2008 at 9:30 PM. Reason : .]

6/16/2008 9:29:09 PM

Srsly though, that's retarded. What is this planeswalker business? I thought they would never do planeswalkers because that's what the player is basically supposed to be.

6/16/2008 9:31:13 PM

damn, this thread got nerdy.

i have a shitload of old cards, but stopped collecting in middle school, so i got out right as all that new shit was coming in, ice ages and whatever else i think was coming out at that time.

i never really learned how to play. had 1 friend who i ever played with, whenever i would try to play with someone else, they said the rules i played by were all fucked up.

i have an old force of nature though. too bad it got passed down thru so many people that it's a bit rough around the edges and probably not legal for most play.

saw some other cards that i have rotting away in a shoebox too. i need to figure out the value on some of my old cards, if there still is any.

6/16/2008 10:45:50 PM

I think my last PTQ I played in I got knocked out by this combo.

[Edited on June 16, 2008 at 11:08 PM. Reason : ]

6/16/2008 11:07:57 PM

damn you're oldschool

anyways, the most powerful combo in standard right now is this:

^^i'm not gonna lie, I don't see what the big deal about that combo is...yeah, the body double can bring back the reveil, mirror entity can pump everyone up...but don't really see what the big deal is.

Quote :

"Let’s assume that the board looks like this: Mirror Entity and six lands in play, Body Double and Riftwing Cloudskate in the graveyard. You cast Reveillark. Once it comes into play, you activate Mirror Entity with X=0, and retain priority, then stack a bunch of additional Mirror Entity activations for zero. You want to stack at one more Mirror Entity activations than your opponent has permanents. Then you release priority. The first Mirror Entity activation resolves, and kills all your creatures. This triggers Reveillark. You target Body Double and Riftwing Cloudskate. When they come into play, Body Double copies Reveillark and the Cloudskate bounces an enemy permanent. Then the next Mirror Entity activation occurs and you do it all again. When your opponent has no more permanents on the table, you let the final activation happen, and bring back Body Double (copying Reveillark) and Mirror Entity. Then pass the turn."

i have a deck that uses ornithopters and phryexian walkers along with a few other cards for an infinite damage combo

besides, it doesn't win you the game, so it's not a great combo.
