Kirby Krackle Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 I was hoping I'd see a thread like this!I've played for... well, I remember looking forward to Torment so around late 2000. I got my coaching in the game from a friend in exchange for me coaching him in chemistry. And not a moment went by where I didn't play Black. Post your decks, bronies! I've currently completed:Mono-black Vampire AggroMono-black DiscardBlack/Green SaprolingsIn the works currently are this bizarre Black/Red Madness/Hellbent nonsense that doesn't work and Mono-black Hatred.

Ginger Mint Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 hi hiI play a bit of magic every now and again, but I am an amateur compared to my friends with their infinite life, infinite turns, infinite damage decks, to say nothing of the deck that makes everyone trade the cards in play and in their hands around to other players randomly every turn.

I've faced someone that's done that in a multiplayer game and it was hilarious. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginger Mint Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 hi hiConfusion in the ranks is one of the cards in his "Chaos Deck," but there are others in there that do random effects that I don't remember what they all are, but I remember there was one that changed the color types of different spells around.I've never played against infinite squirrels before, but I know someone who has that kind of a deck. (She loves squirrels, and its why she agreed to play magic I think.) Other annoyingly hard to beat decks involved the isochron scepter, darksteel forge, and a combo for infinite glacial chasm.

Kirby Krackle Posted April 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 I love how this technically wins on turn three. I say technically, because you're not actually winning. You're just forcing your opponent to leave the table in a blind fury against you, your deck and your household. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginger Mint Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 hi hiThats how a lot of our games tended to end up. My friend's "Blue Counter Deck," was particularly notorious. It basically taps all your land so you can't do anything, then it gives the other player infinite extra turns while they shuffle cards back into their deck and you get decked yourself.

It basically taps all your land so you can't do anything, then it gives the other player infinite extra turns while they shuffle cards back into their deck and you get decked yourself.One of those. I see, I see. There are ways around decks such as these, depending on what colors and play-styles you're comfortable with. Blue will use control right back. As will Black, but through different means. Discard, nasty and quick combos like Underworld Dreams + Howling Mine, etc etc. Also, Black offers a vicious type of aggro codenamed "Suicide Black", a personal favorite. Speaking of aggro, White and Red do the same. Obviously, Red also gets burn. Burn may be your quickest option to reduce Blue Control to ashes. For example:Lastly, Green. Aside from swarming Elf tactics or pairing itself with Red, I'd advice against this unless there are some tricks I've forgotten. Forgive me for that post, though. Both Blue, Counters and Milling rub my rhubarb the wrong way. I'd like to see you walk all over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKX Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 So my friend got an Eldrazi deck, which I played against several times today. I've never wanted to strangle him more than when he reduces my side to one monster and no lands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bannhammer Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 Just found this thread, i've been playing since M10. I'm the typical blue/white control player, i counter everything you try and prevent any damage you do. I just bide my time until my finisher hits the field.

BaconofChaos Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Ah, Magic. I haven't played in months, and haven't bought any cards since... Zendikar (or whatever it was called) and even then that was just two boosters I bought out of curiosity. Unfortunately I don't see any of the people I used to play with anymore, everyone having moved or lost interest in the game. I did try the M:tG game on Steam (PROTIP: Don't. It sucks).Here's something fun though. A friend of mine made a BIG Zombies deck. about 200-300 zombie related cards that all players draw and play from. Shared deck and graveyards with loads of recursion makes for a fun game where people fight over who gets the best zombies Also, look up vanguard cards for some extra wackiness.Me and my friends designed ourselves as planeswalkers the other day.We are the nerdiest of nerds.You are not the only ones ¬_¬ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Krackle Posted April 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 The final pieces of this deck have arrived and it is now in the testing phase. It is right now, as follows:4 Carnophase4 Black Knight4 Dauthi Slayer4 Nantuko Shade4 Phyrexian Negator4 Duress4 Dark Ritual4 Demonic Consultation3 Hatred2 Lurking Evil2 Grasp of Darkness1 Corrupt4 Peat Bog16 SwampsIt's Suicide Black at its finest, hopefully. Assuming things go according to plan, I can end things on turn 3. I'm not %100 on that last set of spells. I'll see how things play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginger Mint Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 hi hiHas anyone ever played an "emperor" style game? Where you've got two equal sized teams (usually three each) and the goal is to keep the emperor player alive.We played a game like that -except you could only effect people to either your immediate right or left- but I forget what the exact ruleset is called. We did this when Mirrodin was the current set and everyone had Cloudposts. Needless to say, each Cloudpost was worth a LOT of mana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Krackle Posted April 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Emperor is loads of fun but I've only played it a handful of times. What with the time requirements and manpower. Still, loads of fun. I tend to play Saprolings if I'm the Emperor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaconofChaos Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Never played Emperor before. Sounds like fun. I've done Two-Headed Giant, which I guess is similar.A variant my friends and I used to play was simply called Allies. You need exactly five players. Your allies are immediately to your left and right. Those sitting opposite you are your enemies. You win when both your enemies are defeated and lose when your allies are defeated. Creates a pretty nice diplomatic game where you basically have to decide who to fight and who to save. Getting your allies to stop fighting each other long enough to take down one or your opponents takes skill and is very rewarding.And since we're talking about Magic, I just saw this and had to share:LAWLZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arix Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 NECROMANCY.
