Good. We dropped somewhere between 7 and 8k today at a PTQ. Picked up a complete 4x set of revised duals and lots of other goodies.

You can play games for free, yes. Just when you get into the tournaments that you need an entry fee.
Yea there is a "just for fun room" where you run into all kinds of random craziness and a tournament practice room where you'll run into more serious decks.

Hey, if you ever decide to franchise in SoCal, let me know.
The legacy scene...has it always been this stagnant? Seems like there are about 6-7 decks you can run and expect to win with.

That's what I figured. I'm so tempted so I can deck test stuff. Deck testing online seems like a dream but I probably definitely wouldn't want to replace the physical game though. :/

Oh, just do it already. It's much cheaper, you can play all the time and test all kinds of crazy ass decks.
For instance, G/B Zombies will work, dammit.

I love seeing the crazy brews in the Just for Fun room; sadly, most of the players there are total garbage. The Tournament Practice room is usually pretty good though.

Eh, there might have always been 6 or 7 T1 decks, but what those decks comprised of has always been pretty fluid, but this cycle does seem to be lasting a little longer than most.
Yea instead of playing once a week you can play like a billion hours a week.
The only bad thing about MTGO is that it's completely halted any progress I was making through my steam backlog. Whenever I sit down to play something I just end up playing magic for 4 hours.

Why hasn't anyone made a NeoGAF clan on MTGO?
And why don't I have all you guys on my buddy list?

Ya, but I really like the physical game and don't want to give that up every week but paying for both is pretty sucky. :/ I don't have that much spare cash...
And the mid for bonfire is fucking $40 now? Fuck that card, sucks I was completely broke when it was $25. Fucking ridiculous.

I have a set of bonfires that I'm sitting on strictly to sell later. I feel bad, but I have them and they keep going up in price.

I'm jelly.
So what decks are everyone playing for standard? I kind of like the off kilter decks like this elf wave and thinking about doing a burn at the stack or something similar but not sure.

Grixis control is my only serious deck. Pretty much because I like casting Nicol Bolas.
When I'm not playing serious, I love Angel of Glory's Rise Reanimator, Splinterfright, and occasionally durdling around with Undead Alchemy.

O shit, Bolas is like $5? I just found my next deck! Which bolas looks better, M13 or duel deck?

Well, at least the duel deck one is foil. It'll save you a couple bucks if you wanna swag

I'm just running the M13 version. It was the cheapest on MTGOTraders.
Damn, it's even cheaper now. $3 each?

I got kinda busy and drafting is a bitch. :/ There wasn't too much interest either probably because it's a PITA to work with Cockatrice compared to Apprentice.
I'm not really interested in that.
I just with M:tG:Online would revamp the GUI already and include a "dick around" mode for casual play. Though that would eat into their server costs and shit, so maybe make it a subscription or something per month?

Where are mtgo prices listed again? Want to see how much to get a deck running.

I only have one feature request for MTGO: Private drafts. And if there was a second request, it would be private Build-Your-Own-Cube drafts.
http://www.mtgotraders.com is what I use for buying singles.

Wouldn't be bad, if people had to bring one booster each to "eat the cost"/share the cost of the draft along with like an event ticket or something. $2-5(?) bucks to do a private draft each wouldn't be bad and would be pretty easy money for Wizards.

They'd lose out on too much money (unless you mean paid with tickets/product). I'd support it 100%.
divisionbyzorro
Member
Make it cost the same as a regular draft and have the same prize structure, just don't give out the points or whatever that they give out to the winner.
I'd just like to be able to open up Mumble and draft with GAF.

Wow, prices are a lot cheaper online. If I didn't have so many friends for physical I would do online in a heartbeat.
Is there any reason to have more than 2 tamiyos? I need them for grixis but doubt it's worth having a playset.

Yeah, paid with tickets and product is fine, but I would definitely actually draft on MTG if I knew I could set up like a private lobby that only my friends could join.

CardWorld is all you need.
Avoid Supernova, their prices are just hilariously high.
MTGO Academy and MTGO Traders tend to have the best prices that I've been able to find.

Currently playing UR delver. It started as a copy of Todd Anderson's RUG Delver, but dryad just wasn't cutting it, and augur of bolas is just stupid good at carrying runechanter's pike.
As for bots, I use AlphaBot, BcCardBot and _BestPrice_ for buying from, and TheBuyBot for selling to.

See, a topdeck fireball everything seems to work in the vast majority of matchups. Unless stuffy doll becomes the new delver, damage be damage and will always be good

It will be even better after rotation, because right now it actually has some competition from Whipflare and Slagstorm in certain types of decks. The red sweepers in Innistrad block are either absurdly bad (Rolling Temblor) or just entirely too situational (Blasphemous Act).
WanderingWind

Like Hero said, it's about time a red card got printed that was stupidly useful. If you're building with blue, why not snapcaster...if building with red, why not bonfire? It's always useful.
Indeed. And I wish I could afford to pick yours up, but $35 a piece is just too much to ask haha It's SUCH a good card though. I gotta find myself some cheap Entreats in the meantime.

U/R Delver is such a fun deck, especially with Invisible Stalker. Swinging for 9 unblockable and hexproof just seems so unfair.
WanderingWind

If you promise to play with them, and not just resell, I'd be willing to work out an amicable trade. They're wasting away in my house. I only get to play in a store maybe once a month now.
After rotation, based on Avacyn block and M13, what do you guys think will replace the Ichor and Mycosynth Wellsprings for card draw in an artifact control deck?
Oh, we are going to talk about this via PM my friend.
