Quote by Goblinkinghi there
everybody... well i just so happen to drop by to ask if anyone here has ever
made a goblin deck before. to be honest, im not really into the new releases...
i prefer the old cards *sorry*. so i was wondering if any of you guys ever had a
goblin deck before, and what is it made of? sorry if this is question is rather
stupid, but i am aiming to build an undefeatable goblin deck..... =P. so if any
of you have suggestions, please pour in. thx in
advance
HI
Well i do prefer as well old cards, i think those are the best still. As for a
goblin deck, i only have my burning-fast deck featuring:
But as for a pure goblin deck, i only played once against a very aggressive one,
in wich you sac 1 goblin to do an amazing quantity of direct damage while
putting into play some more of those cheap / sacrificeable creatures.
Quote by LoydI
think that the new set ravinca is good compared to
kamigawa
Kamigawa had alot of spirits that packed a punch if used in the right manner as
well as the itroduciton of defenders which I thought added a new twist to game
play
I do agree with the spirit theme on Kamigawa, but i feel it made it a lot like
the old Shadow themes back on the Tempest block, the mechanics do not interact
that well with the rest of the expansions. However, they are pretty
nice.
Defenders have always been on Magic, since the beginning. The only difference is
that they were called "this creature cannot block", pretty much the
same with Vigilance, wich was "attacking does not cause this creature to
tap"
I have not been able to grab any product still from GUILDPACT, have you?
Whant do you think on the new 3 color combinations?
I think that on this last expansion set, there are some broken cards, they are
very powerfull and very expensive also
What do you think of Szadek Lord of Secrets, Vulturous Zombie, Glimpse the
Unthinkable, Circu Dimir Lobotomist, Dimir Cutpurse, SunForger, Helix, Putrefy
and such?
Quote by KeikBanding. In Frontier Magic, the
banding ability lets you stack more than one creature on a land card. They'll
attack as one creature: Combine their power and toughness. A stack of creatures
can have an unlimited number of creatures with banding, and one creature without
banding. The whole stack calculates its terrain bonus only once, but it gets the
+1/+1 even if only one creature has the right color for that land. Creatures
that have "banding when attacking," or banding under other conditions,
have it all the time in Frontier Magic.
I do not quite understand the line "lets you stack more than one creature
on a LAND card"
i do not get the meaning of the LAND card, can you explain?
As far as i know, Banding lets you make a pack of creatures with the same
hability (banding) and you can add up to 1 more creature to the pack, that last
one lacking the banding hability. This allows to attack as 1 big creature (hard
to block) and you can still attack with your remainant creatures
(independently).
Then, when banding, if an oponent attacks with say, 3 creatures (2 with banding
and 1 without) the attacker decides how to distribute the damage among any
blocking creatures blocking that attack.
This is opposed to the normal attack procedure, in wich the defender normally
decides how to distribute the damage among his\her blocking creatures.
Personally had thought of those colors as strong even before the kamigawa block.
Especially in regards with the Zombies, Wizards, and Green Beasts. Combined with
the right artifacts, instants, and sorcerys they were quite a formidable
opponent. I honestly don't like Ravinaca I've seen all the cards and I just went
meh. I have no plans on getting any of the cards.
Not even because of the images ? I do like some of the cards just because of the
art ! Specially the FIREMANE ANGEL FOIL, it looks SUPERB !
Well, after taking a loong look at the Ravnica initial set, it looks pretty
good, has very nice technickes, and besides, it does improve a lot multicolor
playing. Personally, i think that gree black and black blue are very strong
colors now.
What do you think ?
Oh a shame that the prerelease at my country is to be postponed. Well, i think
that nature cannot be controlled.
Anyway, i am waiting to my prerelease. Cant wait more !!!!
i want more cards, more more more !!! And this new block set is to be awesome
!!!
Ah also, ravnica is near !!!! have to take a look at the new set. This saturday
shall be a good day. Have to be early to have a good place. Good luck to every
one that are to go to the prerelease events. !!!!
Quote by Angel-on-Dragon[quo(...)
dissapointed bby the fact that alot of the cards are jusr
rereleases of some cards. I mean they didn't even change the art on
some of them like Pacifism that was released back in 8th edition with
the same art. I mean don't get me wrong I like alot of the cards in
this series but some are just rereleases of the same card witha
different series tag
But isn't that the point of these editions? It's the basic sets with cards that
have already
been there to have a good base.
If you want new cards you have to take the expansions like
Kamigawa...
I guess I don't really know I started playing when Legions came out so I don't
know how these sets work
Well the CORE SETs are made so everyone can take a look at old good cards in a
more decent price and in this case, a different presentation than that of the
original releases cards. This helps the new players to see old cards and
encourage them to start playing good and perhaps to search for the old original
cards.
This is just like a very little part of the great power you can achieve with
some powerfull cards and incites you to get more, and more, and more, and more
MORE MORE MORE MOOOOORE
ajajajajaja
Yes well some of the cards really aren't any different from their release in 8th
addition which is baffling since they are pretty much the same. I mean they look
the same from their 8th edition release albight a change in the series icon
Ah yeah, that is right. That was a same about the expansion symbol. I was
expecting something new rather than have the same icon but with different
number. There are also a lot of cards the same as the 8th edition, but we have
new reprints, like verdant force, hells caretaker, new image at the allmighty
serra angel and more.
Specifically, i think that at least the Verdant force reprint sucks, but well, i
am not a developer.

Well 9th edition seems kinda good so far, it is nice to see more Rebecca Guay's
on Magic again !!
Some art loks pretty nice now and the core set is well balanced. I think is
nice, but definitelly i do prefer getting the old version cards, not reprints.
uh, talking about image collectors, just take a look at my favorites section
!!
i ruled on favorites for loong time, now i dunno who can have the most !!!
Uh what happened to the images on the main window
Sorry if this has been asked for or if there is the answer on the forum, but i
just came back to business a few days ago !!!

is another group like this one, featuring the beautiful OS-Tan's.

I was there two years ago when I had the luck that it took place in Berlin,
where I come from *lol* It was really great. But I learnd to beware of what I
wear.... Or
this can happen.....
Ha hahaha, nice pic though !!! But yes, it is a little distracting to play with
something like that as opponent !!!
i think I shall go to the Saviors Pre release to try my modified deck, and to
see if i can get there some of the suggested cards !!!! XP XP XP XP XP

Quote by nickelboltIf I may make a
suggestion Impera, get a set of Natural Orders. You should be able to get a
playset of 4 for under $10 on ebay or the like. It's like Tinker, except for
fatties. You could cut down to more base green and run stuff like Llanowars,
Fyndhorns, and Priest of Titania for acceleration. They can attack for 1,
unlike birds, and you can Natural Order out Sliver Queen rather than casting it
directly. Instead of burn, just Rancor up your Verdant and go straight to the
dome, or if you need some extra "kill you," run old school Hurricane.
That's what I would do anyway...
I see, shall try the suggestion !! I do like the idea of rancoring the verdant
or the queen. But putting more elves to the deck for more green mana does not
seem to be good option, since the deck is penta with tutors on black and some
white. But rather than use hurricane, i prefer Disintegrate !! Cant help looking
at my oponent toss out some good creatures without the price of suffering game
removal.
Quote by nickelbolt
ok now i'm curious... how does your manabase support all that stuff?
please tell me you run Natural Order... i don't know if this deck
sounds all that agressive to me. you certainly have the "large man
advantage," but when I think of aggro, I think of Jackal Pups and
Rancor-ed Ghazban Ogres swingin it in. You even play those traitorous
counterspells and are willing to give your opponent life by Swords!!
argh! at least you have a sweet mox emerald
what do you run in extended? do you have any thoughts on the upcoming
rotation in october?
Well, mana base includes mox diamond, birds, lotus petal, lotus vale, city of
brass and stuff like that. I thought on some fetchlands but too expensive !!!
(jajaja) Akroma, luminous angel as well as sending some times non blockable
slivers and even the verdant. Still needs some direct damage tough.
For extended i have now a pretty good black old-school deck running will o the
whisp, dark rituals, nightmares, sorceress queens and hypnotic specters.
Quote by Impera
but now i have finally made a Type I deck
wich runs pretty good, not as fast as it should but it is a lot
agressive !!
What kind of deck is it?
Well it runs a pair of sliver queens along with a verdant force, the allmighty
COAT OF arms, some swords TO plowshares, some counterspell among others, with a
beautifull MOX emerald. If the deck does not wins by token infestation, it hase
some more power behind with a great mana engine. I still need to modify it to
have more direct damage but the budget runs short !!
oh, an ecchi club, mmm seems interesting (hahahaha) i would like to be in this
group, I looooove ecchi scans-works-anything !!!
Need proof? just check out my favorites section !!!
