My first deck was.. Azorius crap with Ulamog's Crusher because I thought it was super OP.

My first deck was a weird budget counter burn deck. I once thought Slumbering Dragon was an awesome way to get people to stop attacking me.

I was only 10 VA :P
I didn't know the game was a big thing, me and my casual friends discussed cards like Emrakul and Platinum Angel as myths.

Oh and before Magic I played Yugioh when I was like 12-13. So, basically I played Yugioh right before it went to the shitter.

I started with a BUG self mill during Thragtusk standard. That ruined standard for me.

I am thinking everyone on here already know how a RW deck wound up used by me in the beginning of my reestablished Magic of givens..build
Perhaps I have already somechat of typing about it, earlier in time
oh, I love the randomness of 'opens' so getting packs to open is a joy! Maybe some 'hads' are meant to be.

There came a time when I thought Stuffy Doll was the shit and Snappy and Geist were really bad. Boy did I show them when I cast Blasphemous Act with Stuffy Doll.

bendjohnson I really have a hard time understanding you half the time.

I had a Liliana of the Veil. Thought that since her plus made you discard too that she was bad so I traded her for a foil Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker. Played him in a green deck with a bunch of Channel the Suns and Diabolic Tutors with no lands that could pay for him.

myself as well so no worries. I'm with ya on that which is misunderstood.
I'm usually at my best not using a machine to input stuuf such as type. And I absolutely hate texting...
TV is just not to be bothered with these days as well
June 20, 2015 12:58 a.m.
..least for me.
at CanadianShinobi - anything else I can further help for what's such misunderstood.
I am not a well educated man so that pretty much sums it up.

I started playing RDW because I despise control.
The first time one of my spells was countered, I knew I had a vengeance that needed to be filled. So I did some researching.
Thus came the RDW.
Gotta love aggro. :3
June 20, 2015 2:18 a.m.
Being aggressive is boring. I like sitting back and doing things slowly, and so coming off of playing basically only support in DotA 2 I found control to be the playstyle that mirrored that experience the most.
June 20, 2015 2:43 a.m.
All I am attempting to say about 'opens': WotC somewhat know in advance where their product is going; therefore, certain 'hads' were meant to be opened by the person purchasing or trading for the pack(s).
What I don't like is a computer can more easily place certain cards with others due to scanning, I think. Maybe not as random anymore, but you get a 'better pack' on occasions.
Someone right me if I am wrong on this because multiple times I've gotten the token that goes with it's generator. As well: A pack that could really get you thinking while drafting...

Magicrafter RUN FOR THE HILLS!!!!!!!
And good luck kyuuri117 :) Watcha playing?
June 20, 2015 9:38 a.m.
Good luck Kyuuri.
(Shameless promotion below)
So, SirFowler and a bunch of other people just built a "custom card deck" with a bunch of custom cards in it, and we wanna test it. Anyone down for some games on Untap?
Oh, and Magicrafter: They're milking KFP?
Why?
Why the actual hell did they have to do that?
June 20, 2015 10:20 a.m. Edited.
I'm not sure when he's ready. I just PM'd him, 'cause he has the deck. Actually, shouldn't you have the deck too? You did draw up most of the cards on MSE.
June 20, 2015 10:23 a.m.
FAMOUSWATERMELON says... #29
Yes, you'll have to put in the alternates manually. Fowler's on it.
June 20, 2015 11:02 a.m.
Sweet. Also, what format are we testing this in? Modern? Standard? Archenemy? I'll bring whatever deck.
June 20, 2015 11:04 a.m.
FAMOUSWATERMELON says... #31
Standard, I believe. I'm going to be using my old standard deck.
June 20, 2015 11:04 a.m.
CanadianShinobi says... #35
I've decided to play Standard for a while. Mostly because Esper Dragons is probably the most fun I've had playing Magic in a long time.

Currently 3-2 with Golgari delve. Don't expect to day 2 but every win is more planeswalker points. And didn't have any bye's.

You know what I've realized? I hate the azorius color more than any other combination. It just represents everything i despise. Slow Grindy games. Constant tanking over how to play Around it best. Trying to dodge counterspells. Resilient win cons.
Ew.

VampireArmy says... #42
See i just like to rip apart hands man. Discard and removal for days. Then finally when I've forced people into the top deck submission. Then they have my permission to die ;)
June 20, 2015 3:45 p.m.
There is nothing better than getting off a JTMS ultimate and you can't prove me wrong. Can't do that without some blue.

CanadianShinobi I'll have you know i am quite proud of my rakdos mage peasantry
June 20, 2015 3:52 p.m.
CanadianShinobi says... #49
Well I'm glad VampireArmy. But that doesn't stop Dimir or Azorius from being the superior choice.

Of course it does! What are those colors good for in modern??
