That just seemed a bit annoying to have to deal with all the time. You could theoretically have a massive army one turn and have nothing the next.

Actually I won a few games because of phasing. Allowed me to do staggered summons and the creatures weren't there the next round for the other person to attack.

I will post my Joe-deck in a couple hours. I call it Joe's Old Busted Deck.

Realistically, it's more like The Deck I Should Have Had. I threw some cards in there that I had, some cards that I foolishly traded away, and some cards that I really really hated when my friends played them against me.

I got to take out my second Sol Ring first though. So I gotta finish work before I do that.

Are you going to reveal what colors your deck will be?

Post by **Jonathan** » Fri Apr 16, 2004 12:19 am

I said I was going to post it. I mean the whole thing.

It's Blue and Black.

I realize that you were going to post the whole thing, but I want to know the colors now and not wait 'til you got home to finish it and post it.

I take it that it would be hopeless for me to try to relearn how to play, plus learn all the new cards since the original came out.

Sounds a lot more complicated now.

From what I see, they've simplified a lot of their mechanics for Eighth Edition. There's a lot less special casing. If you play Type 2, there's not many cards.

C'mon, you know you want to.

ok, I'll learn type 2 if alan does...

I don't even know what Type 1 and Type 2 are.

Booyah!

Joe's Old Busted Deck

The idea is denial. I had some Djinns and nifty lands in there this afternoon, but I decided that odds are I wouldn't get to play those, so I swapped them out for the Juggernauts and some Skeletons. I'm not sure about the mana balance, I might have to fiddle with it after getting my ass handed to me a couple times. I had most of these black cards back in the day. I combined them with several different colors, usually green or white. I always wanted the blue cards to do this, though.

Tooth and Nail

This is a Type 2 deck I found on the internet. I like it because of the ridiculous creatures.

so anyone is going to be playing tonight or this weekend?

Post by **Jonathan** » Fri Apr 23, 2004 6:21 pm

I'll play you this weekend. Like 11 am pacific?

For anyone who's lazy: MTGPlay comes with about fifty different pre-made decks. So you have no excuse.

Post by **Jonathan** » Fri Apr 23, 2004 6:24 pm

On Saturday, I mean.

I'm still without a net connection at home and don't want to install it on my work laptop. If I continue to be lazy and not order a net connection I may just install it here anyway.

Results of Round 1, Peijen versus Jonathan

We played a practice round which I won because Peijen didn't put enough mana in his deck. Then we played a real round. Peijen pummeled me with his forestwalking dryad and later his Elven Riders, but I scraped out the win with 2 life left. Both of us were still remembering how to play, though. I think he skipped a turn attacking with the Riders, and I think I sort of ignored his Vine Trellis when I attacked. Still would have been close if we remembered how to play this game.

Lure 4 teh win!
