I played Magic at one point.. I had an unbeatable Plains/Swamp deck I can't even remember how many cards I had that would just instantly take life away ^_^

And what was the deal with the Black Lotus card??

Does Stokely still play Magic?

I remember when our whole team drove down to LA for the LA Regional in 2001. We had planned to stop at certain rest areas for breaks. When at the first of these breaks, a bunch of us were in the convenience store, and we noticed that we were missing a few of our number. We went outside to find them huddled in the back of one of our pickup trucks, playing Magic. Everyone found it funny that they were playing Magic in the bed of a truck, in relatively (we're in California) weather, in the dark.

Re: Magic

When it comes to stuff like that our school goes with trends... right now we've hit Magic's 32nd wave or so.

Eventually it'll die out and we'll switch to some other card game. Maybe the CCS card game... I can only hope. ^_^

Wow...well, I cannot say that our school has had that many phases, it simply never went out of style. DnD, however, is a dying art...

Re: Magic

At an extended tournament last year, there were decks capable of the following.
Turn 1: Play Antient Tomb and tap it to play Lightning Greaves.
Turn 2: Play Seat of the Synod, then tap it and the Tomb to play Tinker sacing the Seat and searching for Metal Worker. Equip the Worker with Lighting Greaves so you can activate it's ability revealing 4 artifacts adding 8 mana to your mana pool to play Bosh, Iron Golem. Equip Bosh with Geaves and attack for 6.
Turn 3: Play a moutain, attack with Bosh for six, then sac him to his own ability to deal eight damage to your opponent.
6+6+8=20 damage
With a limited card pool, players could win as early as turn 3.
That's why Black Lotus is so powerful. It gives you three free mana, making early game wins much easier. Before it and the other Power Nine cards were restricted, there were decks that could consistently win on the first turn.


Wow, there's so much jargon up there it's not even funny. Does anyone else understand this post? Or am I the only one who's life outside of FIRST(as small as it is) revolve around magic?

Re: Magic

Yeah. CCS (or CardCapture Sakura) is an anime that was brought to the US recently. Here they renamed it *Cardcaptures*. But anyways now back to the original topic. If there is anyone that still plays D&D, I'm curious to find out what kind of characters you have.

Re: Magic

Actually, I play Magic- a few of the members on my team do, also. Dungeons and Dragons, however, I play less than Magic. The reason being: I'm a DM, so I don't get to play quite so often. *laughs*

I was actually planning to promote a small campaign during one of the regionals or maybe the nationals, you know, a small, quick two hour thing, after the day has ended. Problem is, I don't know how many people would want to do it- the other problem is the fact of where we would meet...

I'd hate to lug around my DM guide all the way to Georgia for nothing.
