Way better than all those knock-offs (Yu-gi-oh, Pokemon, SW, etc.) |
Krbmeister Marine Posted: 29 Nov 2004 19:44 GMT Total Posts: 37 | Man.. i played MTG back in the day.... but then when they went mad banningall the cards... i got mad cause they were only doin it so that u would have to go buy the new stuff.... once they banned Lightning bolt i was out... Though back in it's day... it was quite good times.... back before wisards became so greedy

Yeah, teemz has a file you can modify that can automatically change words you select to a lesser version of that word. Some of them are quite creative. :-) |
taylorchase Marine Posted: 30 Nov 2004 08:29 GMT Total Posts: 32 | i have some cards, but i never play. |
JcCorp Probe Posted: 30 Nov 2004 13:00 GMT Total Posts: Edit | you should play more.
And playing magic once is like... playing an RPG once. You have to get a feel for it.
well, I just wanted all you mtg players to know that I am an unglued/unhinged player (yknow, the joke sets?) and also have a great possible turn 2 kill deck. |
Krbmeister Marine Posted: 30 Nov 2004 14:54 GMT Total Posts: 37 | lol man... i played in a couple unglued tourniments.... that was good times... and i agree about only playing it once... theres more to it than just playing... it's being able to put a good deck together and knowing how to use it ect.. |
korkow Ultralisk Posted: 30 Nov 2004 14:59 GMT Total Posts: 465 | Wow, I havent't played MTG in so long, I some sweet cards. |

Posted: 11 Dec 2004 14:53 GMT Total Posts: 1005 | What pisses me off about MTG today is about 75% or more of my cards are tournament illegal, due to the fact that they're too old.
I've got some sick cards, though. Spirit of the Night, Phage the Untouchable, that Rogue Elemental, Quicksilver Elemental, etc... |
JcCorp Probe Posted: 12 Dec 2004 04:59 GMT Total Posts: Edit | My little brother has a foil birds of paridise from 7th. Its about 120 bucks. I know people w/ signed black lotuses, library of alexandria, etc. |

nmaster64 Probe Posted: 12 Jan 2005 14:23 GMT Total Posts: 5 | Old topic, but I figured I'd post anyway.
Yeah, I'm an MTG addict. Won some tournaments and all. Never had the money to get into the big time. Mirrodin block has to dominant of archetypes (::cough::ravager::cough::), and Kamigawa kinda just bores me, so I'm not quite as addicted as I used to be. But I still stay in the loop and all.
Magic is awesome. Everyone should play it.
My life = Nintendo + Magic |
JcCorp Probe Posted: 12 Jan 2005 14:51 GMT Total Posts: Edit | argh. Ravager. I HATE RAVAGER!!!
Although I have a foil one!
Reanimator decks are the best. I love mine!!! :) |

Posted: 12 Jan 2005 19:24 GMT Total Posts: 1005 | I haven't played, per se, for a long time, but I still buy new cards.
I just don't like how they're changing the rules on some of us veterans of the game (i.e. Kawigawa's new rules). |
DrumMajor33 Marine Posted: 27 Jan 2005 17:26 GMT Total Posts: 35 | I'm in the same boat with Darth Vader over there. Love MtG, best TCG ever. Haven't really played since back in middle school, but still buy cards if i come across good ones. :alien: |

I bought a Phage the Untouchable for $6.50. That's about the only single card I've bought. |
JcCorp Probe Posted: 29 Jan 2005 09:26 GMT Total Posts: Edit | Don't make Lord Mathias angry, he'll whack you with that silly glow stick of his.
I buy singles and boosters mostly, plus an entire unglued set at one point. |

Posted: 29 Jan 2005 17:22 GMT Total Posts: 1005 | I am addicted to "cardboard crack" (for those who don't know, you wouldn't understand) :D
If I go into a store to buy, I'll end up walking out with the same number of each type of booster they have. |
JcCorp Probe Posted: 30 Jan 2005 04:12 GMT Total Posts: Edit | lol, actually, what I do is just buy about two boosters a week, maybe more. You'd be surprised how much you build up. |
zedd Ultralisk Posted: 30 Jan 2005 10:55 GMT Total Posts: 428 | two boosters a week. what r u going to do w/ them? gamble?
seriously, c'mon get a life people.

JcCorp Probe Posted: 30 Jan 2005 12:44 GMT Total Posts: Edit | Magic: The Gathering is a fun and educational game that allows you to make friends, think, sometimes make a profit off of buying and selling, and is also a hobby. That's why I play. |

And yes, it's a hobby, and yes, you can make money off it.

Posted: 13 Feb 2005 17:43 GMT Total Posts: 1005 | Has anyone else bought any of the new gimmick expansion, Unhinged? Some of the cards are friggin' hilarious. Here's one: Our Market Research Shows That Players Like Really Long Card Names So We Made This Card to Have the Absolute Longest Card Name Ever Elemental.
Yes, that's its name. Flavor text: Just call it OMRSTPLRLCNSW MTCTHTALCNEE for short. |
dwestbrook Goliath Posted: 13 Feb 2005 18:46 GMT Total Posts: 112 | I have never played MTG before in my life, but I know someone who does like every single saturday. He even has shirts with a blown up picture of the card on the back. |
JcCorp Probe Posted: 14 Feb 2005 12:48 GMT Total Posts: Edit | I have a shirt I made that has a lhurgoyf card on it, but it's old...
LOL, I LOVE Unhinged! OMRSTPLRLCNSWMTCTHTALCNEE combos very well with Wordmail, I actually made a deck on that combo! |
darksideprogramming Guardian
Posted: 14 Feb 2005 18:53 GMT Total Posts: 1005 | Wordmail is a nice card. |
JcCorp Probe Posted: 15 Feb 2005 12:55 GMT Total Posts: Edit | Probably the best tourney card in the set, which is ironic... |
TI Freak Probe Posted: 15 Feb 2005 14:08 GMT Total Posts: Edit | I couldn't tell you how many cards I have. I was able to buy 10 packs of decks for 10.00 a long time. Some store was having a sell.
I also inherited cards from a buddy of mine, who no longer wanted them. I think I might go throw a couple of decks together and play my brother... |
zedd Ultralisk Posted: 15 Feb 2005 14:46 GMT Total Posts: 428 | u know what i like to do w/ my cards? i get a box, put in some styrofoam peanuts and put the cards in w/ them. then, i get a match and lite the damned thing on fire so much fun!
--- Na + H2O = Keanu Reeves........WOW |
JcCorp Probe Posted: 15 Feb 2005 15:39 GMT Total Posts: Edit | Well, that's a waste of money, a box, cards, and of course, styrofoam peanuts. Why are you wasting the peanuts?!?
Also, I probably wouldn't post that word, the admins might or might not take note of that. |
darksideprogramming Guardian
Posted: 15 Feb 2005 18:59 GMT Total Posts: 1005 | Lol, that is funny Jc.
And how could you do that, zedd? I shudder at the thought of how many nice cards you have done this to. My Phage the Untouchable fears your pyromancy more than mine. |
JcCorp Probe Posted: 16 Feb 2005 12:20 GMT Total Posts: Edit | Oh, I almost forgot. You broke the Card Game Rules by burning MTG cards. You are only allowed to do that to Pokemon cards... lol
Akroma is better than Phage, IMO. You can reanimate her, and she can't be blocked as easily. People will block a Phage. She's hotter, too. :drool_a: |
dwestbrook Goliath Posted: 16 Feb 2005 13:33 GMT Total Posts: 112 | Oh so now the new "in" thing is to be "turned on" by pieces of cardboard with shiny stuff on it? Oh and also a completly unrelated question, why is it that there are Number of registered users: 16095 Active users (Posted in last 28 days): 78 Do people just create a forum account for the fun of it and then leave it? |
zedd Ultralisk Posted: 16 Feb 2005 15:02 GMT Total Posts: 428 | Jc. I don't have MTG cards. I used Pokemon cards. the ones that i got as a gift and can't sell for sht. They are worthless pieces of crp. The box was free, and the styrofoam peanuts were already inside. Oh and DSP, if u haven't already noticed, i'm crazy. Probably one of the craziest here.

JcCorp Probe Posted: 16 Feb 2005 17:54 GMT Total Posts: Edit | >>>I don't have MTG cards.<<< Um, that's kinda what that topic was about.
>>>Oh so now the new "in" thing is to be "turned on" by pieces of cardboard with shiny stuff on it?<<< My Akroma is not foil. :P |
