I recently got a booster box. Me and a friend went in on it together, and I ended up getting the box and 18 booster packs.

Nameless One x2
Discombobulate

Took out Mistform dreamer and seaswift, Sage aven x2, Imagecrafter x4 to make it tournament playable

I have never not once played MTG in my life. Why is it so popular? What makes it so good?

Steve · August 9, 2003, 10:14am

I’m not sure.
I do know one thing. It’s a stress relieving activity, and even if you lose it’s fun.
Now that describes a lot of stuff, but it’s just something that’s… fun. No idea why.

spam. see the sticky.

Sohee · August 9, 2003, 11:49am

It’s not really spam because it’s almost a new topic, he just chose a bad topic name is all.

Steve · August 9, 2003, 11:51am

Heh, yup
But anyway… I’m kinda thinking of tearing my wizard deck apart and making a deck with Weaver of Lies, Ixidor, Krosan Cloudscraper, and a root elemental.
Wait, I could do it without tearing my deck apart.
I’ll be back after I select some good morph cards to put into my deck.

Edit:

I am QUITE impressed.

I wodner igf I could get some friends to buy a booster box with me…

Steve · August 9, 2003, 12:12pm

I got $115 coming to me this monday. After I’m done paying for Freddy Vs. Jason I’m going to buy Silent Hill 3 then see how much I have left over. If I have enough, I’m gonna get another booster box with my other friend, if he is willing to.

Cala · August 9, 2003, 12:16pm

Not bad. One note: If playing with Reminisce, play with two.

Steve · August 9, 2003, 12:16pm

When you play reminisce, it goes into your graveyard and is shuffled in with the library again.

Cala · August 9, 2003, 12:18pm

No, it’s not. The effect resolves (shuffling your graveyard into library), then it goes to the graveyard.

Steve · August 9, 2003, 2:27pm

Oh well, I have all the cards I need.
