Does anyone play TCG's

[pol123131(with Lime)]

I've got some pokemon and yugioh cards. I prefer playing pokemon because my yugioh deck sucks badly.

One time I went to a garage sale and found a shiny 1st edition Mewtwo and some other shinys for fifty cents.

If I had some money I would go buy some destiny deoxeys BPs.

[Asthaloth]

if i had some money, id create mewtwo.
or better yet, Memnarch, of magic "fame"

I'm big on Magic: The Gathering.

I run a Type 1 discard deck and a Type 2 Zubera deck.

[ahoteinrun]

I'm big on the Original version of Magic TG.
Unfortunately I find a lot of the new cards... to be super super cheap.
*shrugs*
So I play with my friends. I have a very wicked black deck... and even players with the new... cheap cards have a hard time playing it.

[Asthaloth]

old cards are far dirtier than modern ones.
balance?
wrath of god?
dark ritual?
the moxen/lotus
the tempest/stronghold slivers?!

[ahoteinrun]

I'm a fan of Nightmare, Undying Beast, Sorceress Queen (or was it Sorcerer queen?) and... Norrit... or however it's spelled.
They make me happy.

Someone at my school has an artifact deck that is based on Myr Servitors, Disciple of the Vault, Ornithopters, Cranial Platings, and some artifact creature that allows you to sacrifice an artifact to put +1/+1 counters on a creature. If he get's lucky, he can kill by the 3rd turn. Basically, he gets very cheap artifacts out on the first turn (mostly Ornithopter, that cost 0), equips them with cranial plating, attacks for about 9 or 10 on , and then sacrifices them for the kill.

I've only played him once, but one of my old Pacifism/Cage of Hand/ Arrest decks held out for quite a while. I should make another one of those. It rarely wins, but people hate them (mind you that none of us are on the professional level).

Worship has always been my friend, though there are many ways around it.

If Norrit is the card I'm thinking of, Maddening Imp is a great substitute.

There's a lot of artifact hate in the metagame right now. Wizard is aparrently banning some cards to dull down Affinity.

New cards cheap? Hello... Power 9?

[Asthaloth]

yes.. the power 9, nightmarish creations all.
though many say tolarian academy should be added too. to make it the power 10.

and the deck you described Kugetsu is called ravager affinity.
every second deck is ravager affinity.
good for wizards for making decks to curb it, but sofar they havent suceeded too well, fade to dreams is overcosted and too slow (sorcery, bounce all artifacts and enchantments), orb of dreams is just naff (when a permanent is played it comes into play tapped) though imi statue has potential (only one artifact may be untapped in your untap phase works on all players)

edit: actually, that Kami that in the story was made by the massacre of rito (his name evades me..) is pretty good at kurbing ol ravagar.
(has the ability, "whenever a creature is targeted by a spell or ability, destroy it) bye bye mr "sac an artifact, put a +1+1 counter on ravager" ... and yes, his modular abilty aswell

[Soujiro]

Archbound Ravager, Disciple of the Vault, and All artifact lands are now banned in T2.

Trinisphere is restricted in T1.

[Asthaloth]

holy sunofa monkey statue, i cant believe they banned all of them

[Kugetsu]

Haha, that's funny considering that that's what this guy's deck was almost completely based on. XD Now he has no reason for refusing matches against people with banned cards...

[Asthaloth]

im actually kinda in shock!
the entire affinity archtype is gone.
smashed.
theyve never done anything so drastic before.

[remybuxaplentyfan]

I don't really play the games (only occasionally if I do), I just collect cards from the Neopets TCG. I have an entire three-ring binder full of nearly all the cards from the Hannah and the Ice Caves expansion

[YesItIsh]

Wee...TCGs.

I used to play Yu-Gi-Oh, and I have like 3 Pokemon cards now.

Meh. The card I traded a long loooonnnggg time ago is banned I think. *trades back card* Oh well.
