Destroit Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 (edited) 4th Edition D&D Just came out this month... random thought. BWHAHAHAHA....It's at my house RIGHT NOW and you don't have it. Yeah, we don't do Magic, but we have an OFFICIAL D&D night on Saturdays with myself, our DM (who will be joining DGN shortly under the name Timata), Raven, DM's girlfriend, and Rev. Reverence. Fun fun . Edited June 23, 2008 by Chernobyl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timata Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 BWHAHAHAHA....It's at my house RIGHT NOW and you don't have it. No it's not. It's at my house. Anyway, I used to play Magic back in the day. Still have a few cards sittin around somewhere. I also played Wow:tcg and almost any other card game out there. I'd be up for a geek night as long as it doesn't interfere with D&D. I can only do type I right now though, can't afford any new cards atm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only do type I right now though, can't afford any new cards atm Type I? Do you have power 9 and such? Random chaff cards of any format you can get a whole deck for like 5 bucks if your not all that concerned about winning. The problem with Type I is that no one ELSE can afford it hah. Even 1.5 is fairly scary price wise. Usually what gets played rather than type I (Called Legacy nowadays) is "Vintage" which is the old 1.5, that is all the restricted cards are banned. Just about anything that is legal in Type I is legal in Vintage (1.5) except the really uber expensive power cards So its basicly type I minus all the $100+ cards.

Timata Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 (edited) Right now my collection consists of a bunch of random cards . . . I think the most recent set i have is mercadian masques or ice age, lol. I had cards all the way up to something of kamigawa (the set had samurai and spirits, was really heavy on legendarys), but all those cards are gone now Did I say the wrong type? its been so long since i played.

I had cards all the way up to something of kamigawa (the set had samurai and spirits, was really heavy on legendarys), but all those cards are gone now Did I say the wrong type? its been so long since i played. Well i think you said what you meant to say. Type I (Legacy) means basicly "you can play any random cards you want from any set" (minus some cards that are banned) But the really scary cards from Type I are pre-ice age and cost hundreds of dollars, and you can only have 1 of each (instead of 4) the "only one of each" thing means they are restricted. So if you just play type 1.5 .. which is Type I except all of the uber expensive restricted cards are banned, your not in danger of having to play against the $200 moxes and $500 black lotuses. But if you just have like random cards from Ice age onward, which many of us do, you probably could slap together a decent deck for casual play, which usually isnt any "type" at all, its just "well play whatever jank you wana play unless the group thinks its too overpowered" playing against a random group of kitchen table players. I'm trying to get back into standard Friday night magic tournament play but its taking me awhile to figure out where the money is gonna come from, since even the cheapest Standard type II deck still costs like $200. This here shows the different formats and what is allowed in each: Wizards Formats Banned/Restricted Lists: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=judge/resources/banned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timata Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 I've never really been on the tourney scene, did sealed pack alot a few years back. I played cafeteria table magic. Modified house rules, let's just say we got in around 4-5 games in 25 minutes while eating lunch Yes I do know the official rules as of 2006. (would have to look up any changes on wizards, but i can do that while I'm looking at D&D stuff for the new edition) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The black one, definately. And the silver one would have to be in second place for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Spiral (13) Posted July 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 Normally my first choice is always black but for some reason that one just looks kinda "dull" to me. The "white" one (which is basically silver) seems to look the best maybe followed by the red one (which looks purple). I was told by some guys that i talked to tonight that the "blue" one looks the best, which basically looks black in real life with a blue shine to it and that the picture makes it look more blue than it actually is. I went down to Pandemonium in Garden City today, oddly feeling fairly decent health wise for once. I was in shock, there was like 10 people down there playing "casual" magic ranging from brand new players to near-experts. Everyone was really nice. Two of the guys made a detailed argument why Playmats, which i thought were just for goofball kids, were good if your playing on a non-tablecloth type surface. Odd. I always assumed playmats were just a waste of money. (even though they often look pretty) I actually managed to scrape some money together for a decent deck, so anyone that doesn't live 9 billion miles away and wants to meet up at Pandemonium in garden city M-Th (they are open until midnight) that is reasonably serious, that is wants to actually play and learn the proper rules, might want to look into it.

You'll find, and some of you may already know, that i am the definition of geek. I should have phrased it differently because every night is geek night. I D&D, Rolemaster, Harp, I do CCGs, I play WoW, Retrogaming, Ren Fests (when i can get the money), Minis games, and anything else considered slightly geeky. . .

Yeah it seems theres two kinds of people in the world: 1. People have played magic in the past. 2. People that currently play magic. The rest aren't really people.
