Ya, Magic: the Gathering Online requires that you buy digital packs that you keep in your digital collection. If you collect an entire set you can trade that in for a physical set. Last time I played the interface was absolutely garbage though so that's a major turn off for me.

The problem with physical M:tG is the time commitment to drafting. A draft or sealed tournament can last upwards of 6 hours.

yuck. no thanks

The one good thing about it is that it accurately recreates the tabletop experience. You just don't have physical access to your cards unless you collect a full set.

Duels is really a hamstringed version of the game, the puzzles are fun but the actual deck building and drafting aren't good.

Edit:

Now I'm sitting here reading Shadows Over Innistrad cards send help
 
Like I said, I haven't played since Time Spiral, but my general deck skeleton rarely changes set to set. I'm at work ATM, but if you want I can look through the current blocks and make some suggestions later tonight.

You're the best love you

Do you just do reals physical MtG or do you waste money on MTGO too?

I'm thinking I should waste money on MTGO cause I don't wanna be that 30 y/o guy showing up to Drafts like:

I just do physical mtg for now, but I might play online as a practice method

Sailor Jupiter is the only correct choice for best main sailor scout.

Mercury and Venus are best.

Mercury is so damn awesome and smart, Venus was a badass who was doing it all on her own before the other senshi were ever doing shit.

My w/r has two Avacyn's in it, it's stupid.

Also Odric, Lunar's Marshall is OP and amazing with the Avacyn flying / vigilance combo and Nearheath Champion with lifelink

Whaaaaat Avacyn is siick, holy shit. And the Marshall is just a good utility creature, like, not even a bad mana to HP/Toughness ratio really.

I have Jace too (the new one) but I dislike playing blue for some reason so idk if I'll ever use him

Blue was always my jam until they nerfed the fuck out of card draw. Urza and MM block was such a beautiful time to be alive, with Fact or Fiction and Accumulated Knowledge and Brainstorm all in the constructed meta.

Now card draw is fucked so it slowed Blue down so much. :(

I need to get home so I can read through SOI without having to circumvent my works DNS. Ya got me fired up again Dragonz

You're welcome.

Blue is awful in SOI. No joke. I remember my friend in high school had a blue control deck that was the literal devil but now it's just like...meh. I had a w/u hextech deck back in the day that was pretty killer but it's so bad now that I have zero desire to rebuild.

Honestly you're gonna get better card draws with black and green these days lmao

IMO green and white are the best colors in SOI. Black is second worst behind blue and red is just...kind of there.

It's alright, I'm a fan of B/R Machinehead style decks too so I'm betting SOI will deliver there, and I'm ALWAYS able to build a capable mono R Sligh deck no matter the set.

;_;

What's blue good for these days?
 
Nothing like not being able to be with your dog when she gets put to sleep to work a stupid fucking shift at an electronics store. Yayyyyy.

I edited it in above but black is pretty disappointing in SOI. Red's okay. It's better if you're doing g/r werewolves, but as a mono, you're gonna struggle.

The only thing blue is good for is clue milling. And Thing in the Ice is a fun time.
 
got this okcupid messge once: "let's make a deal, you'll move to my town and I won't use any blue control decks". apparently blue is still good for something.


u guys are way more expert on this than I am though. I'm sadly more of a casual player since I don't have anyone to play with me on a regular basis really :&

I've listened to this new radiohead song like 5 times now

it's so good. I am so thirsty for the new album

Radiohead is the band that everyone has always said is the best band evarrr but for some reason I've completely never understood why.

I like "Creep" and a couple other of their songs as much as the next guy, but on the whole they're kinda uninteresting to me

does not compute.

they have the most unique and experimental sound of any mainstream band I think maybe ever.

watch this and see if you still hold this opinion:

Also I have Targaryen card sleeves

not really a fan of the online version tbh. a huge fun factor for me are the actual cards. plus you're way ahead of me anyway, haven't played in months :D but maybe I'll look into it

It doesn't have to be anything serious, just for fun. I've never played online tbh but it might be cool. If you don't want to, that's ok too :)

I promise I'll be gentle <3

Have a good sleep



Nah, I recognize the talent of Radiohead but also find the actual music rather boring.

Also, the vocals are complete garbo.

And my taste in music is arguably the best in the thread tbh

How? Did you like even listen to In Rainbows?

I give every Radiohead release a try, because I feel like maybe I matured in the intervening years and will somehow come to appreciate the intricate convolutions in a way that I couldn't before.

And each time I'm like *snoooooooze*

the difference is I don't scold people for not liking Souls games or tell them they're wrong. I can easily see they're not for everyone.

I don't think there is anything particularly wrong with being enthusiastic with what you like or wanting others to join you in liking such a thing.

really you should feel honored for being invited to enjoy such greatness

like if someone says "hey you should watch this movie victoria. it's a really great german film done in one take" and I end up liking it I would be like "wow, I'm really honored that my friend cares enough about me to suggest something so good"

Yeah that's because souls game aren't actually that good

now I'm curious. what has led you to such a conclusion?

turn cards sideways and hope it means something good

Yu-Gi-Oh took a lot more from it than I thought. They just simplified the summoning process by replacing mana and lands with monster sacrifice and made monster types that matter signifantly less than Magic color types do unless you used a specific deck like I used to. I used a sorcerer deck that was so bullshit that people straight up gave up out of frustration and a dragon deck that was amazing but I sold it once I got out of the game.

I like anime that throw the rules out of the window to scumbag your way to victory (using the lightning as armor and using a horn as a lightning rod in the Pokemon anime and shooting the levitation ring off of a monster to crush monsters standing under it in Yugioh)

I'm all for being invited to try new things. But if someone says I have bad taste for not caring for something, it doesn't make me enthusiastic to re-examine the material. It's more likely to make me double down.

I've listened to Radiohead a lot. I've tried to convince myself I understand why it's good... you know, even back in the 90s. I didn't get it then or now. A few songs are kinda cool, but as a whole the band and their sound strikes me as boring and, after a while, grating

Bob Dylan falls into the same category. Supposedly great, but I listen to any of his songs and I have absolutely no interest whatsoever. All he's done is provided the framework for better artists to cover his songs and make them actually good. Have you listened to Dylan's All Along the Watchtower? It's so boring.. Jimi Hendrix made it exciting. Dylan is a snore.

The M:tG books did so much of this, especially with the Urza's story and the Skyship Weatherlight.

most card games took from magic. i used to play the harry potter game a bit (got the starter decks for christmas one year) and its even more like magic.

monster types aren't really the same thing as colors, they're more or less equivalent to tribes. pokemon types and the whatever they were in harry potter are more like colors and in hearthstone each hero is like a monotype deck of their own color (with neutrals that are interchangeable with all)

now that i think about it though, you're probably talking more about attribute which does match up somewhat but there isn't really any main mechanics that use them


the anime stuff is partly why i want to see mroe of a pokemon mmo. the more freeform you cna make it, the more interesting stuff you can do with environment and such
