In the last month I have gotten back into playing Magic: the Gathering, and it's consumed my free time almost entirely. I got some really good cards in 3 boxes of boosters I got, and so I've been playing a lot at one of the local card shops.

Hopefully some of you play Type 2. Well, you probably came here because this is Type 2 discussion, but whatever, I just want some talk going on here.

Anyway, here's my main deck that I'm working on (I'm playing fakes on some until I can get my hands on them).

Naya Tokens

Planeswalkers (6)
3 Elspeth, Knight-Errant
3 Ajani Goldmane (these I have to buy)

Creatures (16)
4 Ranger of Eos
3 Mycoloth
1 Predator Dragon
4 Wild Nacatl
4 Llanowar Elves (soon to be Birds of Paradise, which I have to buy)

Enchantments (7)
4 Glorious Anthem (3 I have to buy)
3 Oblivion Ring

Sorceries (6)
2 Martial Coup
4 Dragon Fodder

Instants (2)
2 Naya Charm

Lands (23)
4 Windbrisk Heights
4 Jungle Shrine
6 Forest
5 Plains
4 Mountain

I've done pretty damn well with it so far. Obviously, creature destruction is my bane, and I've no way to counter Wrath of God, Path to Exile, Cancel, Soul Manipulation, or the like, so I need a way around that, since Elspeth can't make my shit indestructible until at least turn 13, which sucks, but oh well. I'm trying to make room for Figure of Destiny somewhere but I don't know where! Any suggestions/comments on this deck? Maybe 4 Reflecting Pool over 2 Forest, 1 Plains, and 1 Mountain?
 
Wow, I used to play M:TG heaps in highschool but I moved out and hokked my cards for cash.

At the uni library I saw some guys running gentoo and playing M:TG on a computer, what's the deal with that?

brb google
 
Oh man, I haven't touched MTG in over 4 years. What happened to the good ole' Birds of Paradise :(

Everything looks so much more complicated now (like it wasn't before hehe). If there is a MT:G simulator, I'd love to see how that works...
 
Magic Workstation and Apprentice still work. mtgplay (the best) got shut down a long time ago though :(
 
I was playing type 2 a few months ago but stopped going to FNM because I'm stubbornly trying to get my Naya beast deck to work, which it hasn't yet. Competitive MtG is freaking hard when you're on a budget. Also I haven't seen any of the most recent expansion, so I'm far out of the loop right now.


Edit: sorry 'bout the bump, but everyone loves magic, neh?
 
I used to play when I was younger, picked it up again briefly on apprentice 4 or 5 years ago. As it is now, getting started again seems really intimidating since so much has changed.

Edit: Sigh. After quitting WoW(again.. lol) I've got the urge to research/make a deck and head to the nearest card shop next week.

Edit edit: Owwww. Where'd you get your Windbrisk Heights from, and how much did you pay? I'm finding them to be like $10/ea on ebay, which is a bit high for me >_>

No kidding. Went to look up the cost for a deck I want to make today, since this thread has made me feel all nostalgic. $280 not including the sideboard. Most of that can be attributes to Windbrisk Heights and Noble Heirarch, which are $10 and $19~ each, respectively.
 
Windbrisk are ten dollars?

I've got plethoras of those iirc.

I stopped playing shortly after morningtide.

The game lost every control aspect possible. The closest to control you could get would be spamming terror and that one creature, wow I forgot it's name.

I'm waiting for all of lorwyn to cycle out before I ever consider getting back in.
 
Faeries stills plays a strong "control." It's not flawless permission-style control, but it's a control deck nonetheless.

Anyways, I've been thinking about starting to play again competitively. I've been messing around a little bit, and I've been keeping up with the M10 spoilers. I think after M10 rolls around I'll build a RG or Cascade Jund deck and start testing that. BB Elf cascading into Ball Lightning is just too good to pass up.
 
I've been looking around for a card that I don't know the name of, but can't find it, I'm wondering if anyone here knows it. It's a green 1/3 creature that makes forests plains and mountains produce double mana.

Also who is excited for mtg 2010, no mana burn sounds so hot.
 
I said fuck Naya and have since built a Bant "aggressive tempo control" deck, which is the following:

20 Creatures
  • 4 Rafiq of the Many
  • 4 Noble Hierarch
  • 4 Rhox War Monk
  • 4 Jhessian Infiltrator
  • 4 Shorecrasher Mimic
2 Planeswalkers
  • 2 Elspeth, Knight-Errant
15 Instants
  • 4 Cryptic Command
  • 3 Bant Charm
  • 3 Negate
  • 2 Soul Removal
  • 3 Path to Exile
23 Lands
  • 4 Seaside Citadel
  • 3 Flooded Grove
  • 2 Mystic Gate
  • 3 Reflecting Pool
  • 4 Forest
  • 3 Plains
  • 3 Island
  • 1 Wooded Bastion
I basically control the pace of the game while I get Rafiq out and play an "lol I'm getting a fuckton of health while I wittle you away with Rhox" game, or play the "take an unblockable 10 to the face" on turn 3 and win turn 4, which has happened. I got a god hand.

1 Forest
1 Flooded Grove
2 Noble Hierarch
1 Rafiq of the Many
1 Negate
1 Jhessian Infiltrator

Won the roll, went first. Played Forest and then Hierarch. Turn two played Flooded Grove, Infiltrator, and another Hierarch. Turn 3 played Rafiq, swung with Infiltrator for 2 damage plus another 3 from triple exalted and then doubled that due to double strike. Turn 4, I won. Yeah, it was rape.
