8th, wow, its been awhile... I started playing with a friend back in 3rd grade, which would have been in 1993, I think. Holy cow man, that was 11 years ago.

This age thing is weird, it was only last week that I realized that I'll be 21 next year, and that made me feel really old.

Getting older. Wherely thinks I'm getting wiser too, but thats Wherely for ya.

Yeah, but not only 8th it came out a few months ago. They already have another set out called Mirriodin. They are releasing the sets quicker I think they are going to try to release a new set every two months.

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??

[Kerry547]

I not sure everyone said it was really good and rare but I've seen it it's not that good there are a lot better cards out there, but for some reason they banned Black Lotus. I also have a great deck composed of all legendary type creatures and legendary artifacts.

There's like 15 people on our team that play, we're going to EMU, but not western. PM me or email me if you want to set something up.

Hey, what's wrong with D&D?!? *looks hurt* Personally I think D&D is a great game for the adventurous mind. Heck, I still play it on Monday nights. *get's dreamy expression on face...* And if you really need something to put down, you might want to take a serious look at EverQuest.

Well in my school there are some people that still plays Magic including my self and more even play D. and D
^,^

[Kerry547]

I love D&D I have not played it long but I like it anyway.

[Phatman_Dover]

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.

[Kerry547]

Well if you could find a place I woukd try pretty hard to go.

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...

CSS? I've searched my memory and I cannot find anything by that acronym...could you explain it? ^^;

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?
