Magic The Gathering Cards Game (Computer)

[LeftEyeNine]

I likes it. Who likes it ?

[gaelic cowboy]

If it's the one I think it is I have it for 360. Yea it's ok sometimes I dont feel like getting too involved in a game and just want a short ten minutes this fills said criteria

[Jolt]

I play Magic Workstation. It's free, and you can play with any cards you want up to date with the most recent editions.

[Veho Nex]

Computer is about as expensive as the actual game despite it being all digital :/

But I love MTG used to play it all the time. Had this undefeatable pestilence deck. It got banned from this friday night magic place I used to goto.

[Double A]

I don't play the PC or 360 games, but I like the card game.

How much? See for yourself.

So how many cards you got there, skip?

[Veho Nex]

IRL Upwards of 3000. About 15 card boxes full. Only 10 or so 60-75 card decks with one endurance deck that is all about "Search deck for X card of Y cost and put it into play tapped" (Its about 150 cards and 1/3rd of it is land.)

Well I bought 12 tournament decks off Amazon... that's 900... 2 fat packs... another 180... maybe 2 more tournament packs... 150 more... at least 6 deck decks, another 360... and a crapton of boosters. And I bout around 100-300 from a kid I knew in 6th grade. And some cool fat dude at the local nerd store gave me a GIGANTIC pile of commons and uncommons from Time Spiral.

Anywhere from 2000-4000. Probably around 3000.



edit: It's been pretty stagnant ever since 10th edition, because the nerd store closed. However, a new one opened up a couple months ago, and I'm gonna go check out their FNM hopefully this Friday, if I'm not playing Dragon Age, or haven't bought the new Transformers game.

edit edit: I forgot about the crapton of lands I got off of ebay. Probably another 200.

Let's just be on the safe side and say 4000 cards.

[Azathoth]

Damn, I only have half as many Yugioh cards. Well, at least I've given up my children's-card-game-playing ways.

[Double A]

I picked up MTG when I was in 6th grade though.

Yu-gi-oh is sooo 3rd grade!

[Veho Nex]

MTG was my second card game with Pokemon as my first.

MTG though holds a certain passion that no other game possibly could.

[Double A]

I went Pokemon, Yu-gi-oh, Magic.

I probably would have gotten more into the PTCG if they used more types... and Yu-gi-oh may have less rules than Magic, but it's 20x more confusing.

[Veho Nex]

Yugioh would have been better if they had playing fields like in the cartoons :D

They do. Well, uhh...

I played a version of Yugioh called Duel Monsters Online for a few years - they allowed God cards, Seal of Orichalcos, Ancient Dragons, Exodia, etc.

Was pretty fun while it lasted.

My IRL deck of 500 picked cards was simply too unwieldy (and crappy) for IRL dueling.

[miotas]

I played pokemon cards when I was in primary school, gave them up when mum stopped buying them for me and told me to get them myself. That game was my first taste of gambling. How nostalgic.

[Double A]

Wait, what? She wanted you to gamble them?

[miotas]

No, that's what you do when you "battle" someone with pokemon cards. Both players pick a card that they want to put on the line and the winner takes the other person's card.

I put in my rare shiny charizard that I bought from the vending machine for 36 dollars.

Ok, I'll wager my ponyta.



We never bet cards, but we never really did it either. There was a month or two of Beyblades, but mostly we played actual sport...

We did some of that here. Used to have a "refund" cost as well.

What? We never had ante when I played... I remember prize cards, though. You'd get one every time you KO'd an opponent's Pokemon. Once your prize cards or their deck were gone you won.

I went to a booster draft... uh, yesterday.

I lost every game but one (not enough kill spells), but on the bright side I got...

Please dont tell me thats what the newer cards look like?

[Double A]

Oh god no, only Planeswalkers! They aren't creatures at all, they're like another player but under your control. They can be attacked, and once per your turn, they can use one of their 3 abilities, which give or reduce their life total ("loyalty"), which is where the power/toughness is on a creature.

Creatures look like this:

Can you explain to me why that's 50 bucks? I mean, Jace I can sorta get, but he seems.... "meh". If you ask me. Unless there's some loophole where's he's allowed to use two abilities per turn, I don't see how you make him deck worthy. Especially since its not like white struggles for getting stuff off the board.

[Double A]

Because you can turn him into an invincible 6/6 for a phase? And he's Mythic (ultra rare).

However, I agree, he is kinda meh. However, it's not what my opinion is, its what the buyers' opinion is

Thing is, he aint invincible. He just doesn't take damage. The second he turns into a creature, I can doom blade his sorry hide off the arena. Or path to exile.

And true, I'd still be psyched to get it- sorta like how I felt when I unpacked a foily lotus cobra near the height of their craze.

[Double A]

A what?

I also got BOTH Arkomas, a 9/14 wurm with trample and convoke, 2 Damnations, Phage the Untouchable, and Chandra Naar.

I think she's the best Planeswalker I have. I'll take a sexy chick who can do burn spells over a walking titan who wants everyone else to attack him any day of the week.

As in, I'm going to keep her and sell him on ebay.

This thingy.



Its price skyrocketed for a bit as people salivated over the idea of playing baneslayer angel on third turn. Then people noticed that its ungodly easy to get rid of the snake, and its price fell down a tad, although its still nutty expensive.

[Double A]

Wow, I have a black card for 1 B that gives -1/-1 to all creatures. It'd be dead before turn 4.

Of course, that's assuming I'm playing a black deck... I think Green's the only color which has trouble with stuff like that though, since red is basically all damage, black is kill everything several times, white has nukes, and blue would kill it before it even got into play. But really, who plays mono green?

That card would be godlike with this one green i have. Its a rare and it prevents manaburn and the manapools dont empty.
