	I love it. If you want to practice deck building, I suggest you get Nate's Deck Builder (http://www.mediafire.com/?bbmuwgy39fc) and play around with all the cards and try to build something cool. Here's my evil bastard extended deck: 4 [MR] Solemn Simulacrum 12 [TSP] Mountain (1) 2 [TSP] Plains (1) 4 [SC] Dragon Tyrant 4 [RAV] Boros Recruit 4 [RAV] Boros Swiftblade 4 [SC] Spark Spray 3 [IN] Turf Wound 3 [IN] Zap 4 [BOK] Blazing Shoal 4 [CHK] Through the Breach 4 [RAV] Boros Garrison 4 [RAV] Sacred Foundry 4 [CHK] Myojin of Infinite Rage It's not optimized, but it revolves around using Through the Breach to play Dragon Tyrant for free, while having a Blazing Shoal and a Myojin of Infinite Rage in hand. I play the Blazing Shoal for free by removing my Myojin from the game, making the Dragon Tyrant a 15/5 trample haste double strike (almost always game winning) by potentially as early as my 5th turn. Also possible is winning on turn two by playing the Boros Swiftblade and buffing it up with the Shoal/Myojin combo if the opponent has no way of blocking it. The other cards (Zap, Turf wound, Spark Spray, Solemn Simulacrum) are in there as cantrips/cycling/land finder cards, (Boros Recruit, Boros Swiftblade) as easy chump blockers/finishers if for some reason necessary. If my combo is disrupted somehow, I still am capable of hurting people with the Boros soldiers, and if I get an opening I can just as easily take someone down. It's quite a cute deck which I enjoy very much. But yeah. Magic is cool. ____________________ ؟

I stopped playing a few years ago. I didn't have much money and it seemed like you HAD to keep up (because of new abilities, stronger cards, etc)

Basically, what he said. As well as a general disinterest in the game in general.

Although granted the card I had where you could put X 4/4 Angel tokens into play was pretty awesome

I used to be moderately into this. Every once in a while I still play it at parties and such.

Best deck I ever made was green/black storm, for Hunting Pack and Tendrils of Agony. It used the token cards with flashback in conjunction with dark ritual to rack up a bunch of spells and then dropped some mad beasties.

GOGO 8 4/4 BEASTS!

That or the totally never tournament legal deck with four Tinkers and Lotus Petals in it.

Receiving incoming transmission from The Captain...

I started playing about eight years ago, stopped five years ago, then started again in November.

Elf decks are awesome.

I'm actually building a White Green Cats/Equipment deck.
I have Mirri, Cat Warrior in there, and Raksha Golden Cub, but only one of each... Got some Skull Clamps, Whispersilk Cloaks... I don't have a whole ton to work with right now. Even though I bought 10 packs or Mirrodin and 10 packs of Fifth Dawn today (for $2.95 a pack).

Profile PM Rate Posts Threads I used to play a lot before the Mirrodin block came out, however long ago that was. I had some decent decks, a Sneak Attack deck, a deck revolving around Griffin Canyon, and some fun other decks. Actually, I still have them laying around. I should sell them, I wonder how the value on somewhat older cards is doing... Edit: Aha, I went and found my decks. Here's my Sneak Attack deck, which wasn't that good, but it was so fun to play in big multiplayer free for alls: 4 x Sneak Attack 4 x Dark Ritual 2 x Animate Dead 2 x Demonic Tutor 2 x Shallow Grave 3 x Raise Dead 2 x Akroma, Angel of Wrath 2 x Chromium 1 x Colossus of Sardia 1 x Crater Hellion 2 x Dragon Tyrant 1 x False Prophet 2 x Force of Nature 1 x Lord of the Pit 1 x Penumbra Wurm 1 x Phantom Nishoba 1 x Phyrexian Colossus 1 x Rukh Egg 2 x Serra Avatar 1 x Thorn Elemental 1 x Thundermare 1 x Tidal Kraken 2 x Weatherseed Treefolk 9 x Swamp 11 x Mountain ____________________

I started playing long ago, back in 2001 or so. I stopped playing after Mirrodin came out (same as NSNick). I have 8 decks, two which are championship decks. Of those my favorite is my Sliver deck. I also had an Artifact deck, Elf Deck, Goblin Deck, Zombie Deck, and Flying Deck. I can't recall what the championship decks are. It's been quite a while since I've played, and I'm kinda lost to all the new stuff that's been coming out.

	Why is it that the Mirrodin block is so unpopular? :o ____________________ ؟

It's not that I didn't like Mirrodin, it's just that shortly after Darksteel came out the card shop I went to closed down. Mirrodin just happened to be the last set I got into. I don't plan on picking up the game again seeing as they're on the Tenth Edition. I'm quite a ways behind and I don't feel like learning all the new stuff that's been added since I last played.

That and Mirrodin was near-broken at times.
Which is why I love it

Neither was Sundering Titan, Composite Golem, Channel the Suns, the Kaldra Equips, Arcbound Ravager, or Whispersilk Cloak.

Kusari-gama+Repercussions+Provoke+furnace of rath+ instant death from a 1/1.

however, suicide black is probably my favorite type of deck
