What an awesome evening of MTG!

I won a few games, and lost a few games.

Almost all the games I won were due to Hornet Queen (one or both) and/or Terastodon being on the battlefield Wink

.

I'm starting to see how I really do enjoy those token-generating cards, and a few of my extra big-brute cards (I have two Terra Stompers in my deck, which I now see as completely redundant) are kind of pointless. I've got the mana ramp thing down, and my blue spells are on point!

I need me some Hornet's Nests! Can you imagine targeting those with my own 8/8+ creatures?! LOL

Ah ok, so I have been playing it right then! I was trying to avoid an embarrassing moment on my first public FNM game. Thanks for clearing that up!

"A squid eating dough in a polyethylene bag is fast and bulbous. Got me?"

Totally understandable, and I'm glad I'm not the only one! LOL

Question about artifacts; do you pay the upper right cost to cast it, then have to wait a turn to pay the rest to equip or use it? Here's an example of one I'm currently running in my overwhelm green/blue deck:

"A squid eating dough in a polyethylene bag is fast and bulbous. Got me?"

^See? That's why I love threads like this. I'm still so new to the game, I wouldn't have even noticed that! LOL

"A squid eating dough in a polyethylene bag is fast and bulbous. Got me?"

GREAT combo! Clap

Watch out for that Turn to Frog/Polymorphist's Jest LOL

"A squid eating dough in a polyethylene bag is fast and bulbous. Got me?"

^Great cards!

How exactly do you go about getting that 1/1 Invisible Stalker up to 50/50?! Shocked

That Sigil is an excellent enchantment!

That card against multiple opponents is awesome Big smile

Since you're using green with tokens, do you know this card?

Sweet Nissa, that is an excellent card! Thank you for bringing that to my attention! I have yet to grace the world of multiple opponents; it looks daunting. I'd imagine it gets quite confusing when there are tokens all over the battlefield LOL

What's the biggest (most players at once) game of MTG you've ever played/seen?

"A squid eating dough in a polyethylene bag is fast and bulbous. Got me?"

Awesome awesome AWESOME!

I must admit, I really enjoy the combo of green/blue. I love the "overwhelm" archetype green provides, and the "insurance policy" type effects that blue affords. Something about having those negate/cancel instants in my hands while my opponent tries to clear the board LOL

.

Another thing I've been reading on MTGSalvation is the use of pretty much anything as tokens - including homemade printouts glued to cards, etc. I think that's really, REALLY cool. My gf was trying to argue with me during a heated game (when I was flooding the field) that "You shouldn't be able to play tokens if you don't actually have them!"; I knew that was bs, and I'm glad I looked online LOL.

Many will argue that that's a cheap way to play, but I couldn't disagree more. The black cards have the cheapest shots IMHO, with your cards getting exiles, opponent getting +1 life for every creature in your graveyard, lifelink everywhere, etc. We just got a new card in a booster yesterday, of which my gf readily swapped into her deck after I was decimating game after game:

I'll see you on the field with my swarm of bees, wolves, elephants - and several negates/cancels, bitches! LOL

^Oh wow, that's a great card! It would go perfect in my current green/blue overwhelm deck! LOL

Great card Thumbs Up

Khans of Tarkir seems awesome from the spoilers I've seen: it's the return of three-colored decks (like the Alara block) and the Morph ability from Onslaught Smile

Tarkir, that's right! I'm going to forget that word by the time I'm done making this post, lol.

That sounds awesome! My gf and I were talking about how we bet there's going to be a whole host of new combo-like cards coming out with this one. What are the benefits of the Morphing ability? Is that like the Turn to Frog type thing?
