    I used to play during Revised Edition to Ice Age. I had a black deck based on rats, quite fun to play. I gave up afterward.

    I recently bought Duel of the Planewalkers on PS3, which was really fun. I would clearly had stick to it if they allowed real deckbuilding.

    You can build decks on the PC version at least, I think.

    I do not have a PC. And aye, it is the reason invoked for not allowing it on the console versions. They fear it could make the PC version less popular... 

    But wait... Isn't it the same company? And the players would only switch of plateform? So... They refuse to get some new console players only to keep the PC players on their PC and prevent them to buy the game a second time on the PS3/Xbox?

    I see the logic in it.

    I've always wanted to play, same as I've always wanted to play paper&pen roleplaying games, but sadly such things are not very popular in my country. Would quite like it if anyone teaches me to play online.
    Send me a PM Shirszae and I can put you in touch with my Google Tabletop Roleplaying Hangout groups. There are games going daily from all different genre's that you play via webcam with a group of people. It's pretty cool. I have 279 people in my online tabletop group.

    Just bought the Steam version last night for $9.99. It's fun!

    Viva la Bluef.

    Lol @Katzchen why didn't you tell me how addictive this is. On top of staying up far too late playing this, I've been buying the Foil conversions for each deck as I get them. They're so pretty I can't help myself!

    At $4.99 it was a steal!

    I always found hitting someone for yu-gi-oh damage in MTG to be more satisfying than doing it with infinite. 

    I played up until my last deck got stolen. I haven't had the money to replace it yet.

    "Inhale life. Exhale pain."

    -- still the best quote I've read from an MTG card.

    As an Ancient Yavimaya (an  Alliances card) I find that if anything MTG has gotten much quicker since I came back then what it was when I went on hiatus from 2001-2009. Addicting becuase it has everything to do with Tinker this, try that, and tweak every which way to Saturday.

    I at one point was a competent hand at Type II , but that was more than fifteen years ago, My all time favorite deck was either a rogue version White weenie deck splashing just enough blue as to not get totally wrecked by Wildfire Emissary (mirage uncommon vintage 1997), that took me to a semifinal at, at the time was the strongest store in my area,  or white black tempest block deck (vintage 1998) running massive amounts of removal, and ridiculous amounts of life gain, which was both fun to play and given some weird dynamics in the environment, eminently playable.

    favorite lines from each,  "Karma hacked to Islands, I don't think you get out of upkeep, " "He can't play Hat(red)."

    I still play occasionally because of the tinker, let's see how this works factor. it is weird, that for the most part I am of an age that I could be most of the players I play against's father.

    Yes! Me too! Just add me and feel free to offer to play. I'm terrible and haven't started customizing my own decks, but it'll be fun! Steam ID is Motrax

    Does it let you build type I and II?

    I thought this was going to be about the card game, not some canned decks.

    My bad.

    EDIT: Does 2014 let you be the Archenemy in the 3v1 mode?

    If anyone wants to download Cockatrice and have a game that would be awesome! I'm only just getting into Magic, and I have a few of my real-life decks built on the program to play around with, but I get absolutely wrecked most of the time because the guys on Cockatrice have ridiculous decks and the skills to match them. 

    So if anyone wants to have a few noob matches on there, hit me up!

    I've been playing magic since 93 because I'm old and a terrible nerd. I'm not as for it as I used to be because I'm just not francis enough to care about optimization over lulz. Well, that and it gets dull heading to the local card shop to play 15 hipsters with the same internet blue deck. I recently picked up some magic online after I shamefully realized I had more than one hundred thousand physical cards. I'd be down to play some web games for funsies.

    I sold my collection for about $4.5k about 2 years back.  Had power nine and like 20-30 original dual lands, along with a crap-ton of the old "restricted" stuff.  I really miss it, playing magic was a lot of fun.

    I quit because they were over-simplifying the game, and getting rid of the old-fashioned, vintage feel of the game.  Not too unlike Achaea, coincidentally.   @IRE Let's not pull a Wizard's of the Coast, please?

    How the effing eff did you only get 4.5k for the power nine? Was your BL used as a napkin for 10 years?

    Also bailed out of Magic when I got poor. I only have 1 deck left. A 240 card white/black Yawgmoth's Bargain/Necropotence deck. It's hilarious.

    Most of them were pretty heavily used, when I got them.  I bought the cheapest ones I could get, for amateur tournie play.

    I used to have a decent collection, but I sold the whole thing to a friend a few years back. The cool thing is, we still play, but he lets me use his cards to build decks, so I get all the fun, with none of the expense!
  • ErnamErnam

    Yeah, I still love to get nice and baked and play magic.  I just can't let my girlfriend find out.

  • KhairtKhairt
    pfft, moxen. Back in my day we used to rip those up playing iron man magic or trade them for gauntlets of might. Mmmmmmmmmm mighty


  • TohranTohran Everywhere you don't want to be. I'm the anti-Visa!

    I played for 20 years, started at Beta when I was 6. I stopped right  before Theros came out. I collect the Legendary cards nowadays. Used to be a guru back when that program existed. Played white/green mostly. 


  • WeiWei Monterey, California

    Dude, Theros is awesome. Why would you quit now?

  • JovoloJovolo

    Me and a friend constructed this white life-gain deck that splashes black for a bit of control and it's so fun to play with. I went 10 - 2 with it at a local modern tournament, so it does well in competition too. Wouldn't mind any suggestions for it at all

    x10 Plains, x4 Swamp, x4 Temple of Silence, x2 Emeria, The Sky Ruin, x2 Orzhov Guildgate.

    x4 Ajani's Pridemate, x4 Divinity of Pride, x4 Felidar Sovereign, x4 Martyr of Sands, x3 Soul Warden, x3 Soul's Attendant

    x2 Sunspring Expedition

    x2 Mortify

    x2 Castigate, x2 Inquisition of Kozilek, x4 Lingering Souls, x2 Spectral Procession, x2 Oust

    x2 Chalice of Life.


    My favourite deck for sure though is my red deck. So cost effective and so fun to play with (like all red decks). My proudest moment has to be it overwhelming a friend's ridiculously expensive green/blue deck. You can imagine the kind of crazy cards in that, and then just his face after :smiley: 

    x23 Mountain

    x3 Chandra's Pheonix, x4 Hellrider, x4 Young Pyromancer

    x2 Brimstone Volley, x4 Lightning Bolt, x4 Searing Spear

    x4 Burn at the stake, x4 Krenko's Command, x4 Molten Birth, x4 Pillar of Flame
