Yeah, I'm kind of ambivalent to the whole thing to be honest with you. I haven't experienced a traditional rotation to begin with, so I guess I did really get into MTG at an exciting/annoying time.

The lack of core sets kind of irks me, because I've already always been fond of the cards that come in said sets. The expansions are just that - expansions of a core set, right? So is this just going to be like random off-sets happening twice a year with little consistency or "core" to them?

Please excuse my over-simplified questions, as I'm still somewhat of a MTG noob LOL.

With two blocks every year it certainly will be harder for a casual gamer to keep up with the newer cards Ermm
I have to agree with the three set blocks and the core sets though.
I just hope for a Return to Kamigawa block Big smile

Now I've been only playing on weekends a few games on Steam or with my brother.

By the way, anyone here has MTG 13 or 14 on Steam?

I don't play online unfortunately. Many friends keep suggesting it, though.

It's the little things in life...Wink

Gearing up to play some serious MTG this afternoon; hoping to snag a booster pack or two, as well.

Do you guys find yourself playing mostly on weekends, too?

Also, what are everyone's thoughts on the new Khans of Tarkir set coming September 26? I've seen some spoilers, but I'm still such a noob, I can't fully appreciate the expansion lol.

Post of the day right there! Just use Polymorphist's Jest; it will turn all your foes into 1/1 blue frogs!

^EDH is one mode of play that's been intriguing me as of late. I've read up on it and it seems like a fun time. I really want to test out my killer bees deck at FNM this week, though.

It's good to know such a mix of people are on these forums; what a fantastic community overall! By far one of the best, strongest, most long-standing communities of its kind. This thread is amazing, as well.

I think we're going to play some serious MTG this morning before lunch. I need to try out my new "killer bees" deck to see how it holds up! I'll definitely keep you guys posted on that.

For now, let's have some fun:

1. What's your current favorite card(s) to play? 

2. What's your rarest/most valuable card (even if you've already sold it/traded it for something else?)

3. How often do you typically play Magic in any given week?
hunches are nice unless they're literal

1) In EDH, I think I'm having the best time ever when I combo off with Havoc Festival and Wound Reflection. Someone always has an Acidic Slime, so it's rare, but that's also what makes it more rewarding :3

2) My most valuable card is probably Cryptic Command, but I also have Snapcasters, a Griselbrand, and a foil Obzedat.

3) Depends. Usually 2-3 times, but maybe if I'm on break it will be daily.

^Yup, another good combination of cards! LOL

Here's a shot of our game from last evening: Hornet Queen w/Overwhelm then a Titanic Growth for 24 damage via the air:

If you're into mana ramp you should check this deck:

I once had every land card on the battlefield with this one LOL

These cards completely revolutionized and re-vamped my entire deck:




Can you say "mana ramp"? LOL

Do you guys/gals browse the MTGSalvation forums much? I've been finding a ton of good insight/answers to questions there. Looks like a solid community!

^That's what I'm saying, it almost defies MTG 101 LOL. 

I have Negates and Cancels to cast as "insurance" on my big guys and token-generators.

Its funny that normally deathtouch decks are green/black and token decks are green/white, but you have built an interesting green/blue deck that seems to work well with both strategies Smile
