My latest addiction

Okay, y'all know I go through obsessions like someone goes through seasons of clothing. Sometimes like someone goes through socks. Usually, it's a whole fandom. Don't worry, still stuck on SPN (Go Gabe/Sam!!) though I have picked up a liking for the Left 4 Dead 2 fandom (Nick/Ellis FTW!) and the Dragon Age fandom (F!Mage/Collins is adorable and ( Read more... )

I LOVE Magic the Gathering but I haven't found anyone that plays since I moved to Alaska. What's your favorite deck color??? I made a Black/Green deck that is rather awesome because I'm able to add these HUGE creatures and I can resurrect them from my graveyard and that's pretty neat. :)

I've noticed I tend to lean towards Black, White and Green. Just last week I finally finished my Black deck and, damn, I love it. Could use some tweaking, but overall it isn't too bad. Huh. I need bigger creatures in my Black deck. Right now I've got a couple that kick ass and one that gets more powerful the lower my life is (forget what he's called, but he starts out 13/13 but with -X/-X where X is my life total, so I can't even pull him out until my life's at least 12, but once I do, the more life I lose, the stronger he gets.

I love my black creatures because some of them when they die give all other creatures on the board -1/-1 which kills a lot of white cards and the rats that are 1/1. I just got to be careful I don't have any 1/1 creatures. :) My brother tended to like white decks but he'd but in about 4 Balances and it would wreck havoc. :)

*L* I don't have enough cards to specialize in a certain type other than color at the moment, though after seeing and playing a friends Zombie deck, I think I might head that way. Vamps are nice, but the Zombie deck...wow.

Haha, my sister tried so hard to get me into Magic, but I was too little and girly at that point to give a damn. By the time I wasn't, she stopped being interested in it.

That and I don't know anybody around RI who plays. (And I'm not a social person, and therefore not the type to go out looking for them.)

*L* I've got a friend here who, evidently, has been fighting her friends' efforts to get her into Magic for YEARS. She knows everything and can quote rules and lore and cards like a pro, but she refuses to play. Quite weird.

Ouch. No, there's a small, but thriving population of magic players here.

demon_vampirate May 24 2010, 00:25:06 UTC

Wow. I never got that far. I was little when my sister was trying to get me into it, like maybe six?

Yeah, I'm not quite interested enough to go looking.

*L* Lucky. If you can avoid magic...do. Yeah, it's fun but...it IS kinda like a drug. Kinda...hard to quit. Also, gets to be expensive.

Oh LOL I used to love magic the gathering, I used to play it with my bros, we had the computer game too :D

toniabarone May 23 2010, 02:52:52 UTC

*L* I got it for XBox when I started playing. It's addicting. I really like the white deck you get on that game and am thinking of trying to recreate it.

amothea May 23 2010, 04:00:58 UTC

You can play this game over the xbox????

toniabarone May 23 2010, 04:06:56 UTC

Oh yeah. You got one? You have to have Gold membership to do it (well, I suppose Silver to download it). Go to Game Marketplace and just to a search for Magic the Gathering: Duel of the Planewalkers. I can't remember how much it costs in microsoft points, but it isn't terribly bad. The dude who got me into it recommended I play it to get practice in and used to the system and such. It's helped.
