Magic the Gathering place.

It seems that Planar Chaos, the new set, has been pushing the envelope for cards in different portions of the color pie. There's been a recent card previewed on www.magicthegathering.com that might show how the new "planeshifted" cards are going to work. I'm keeping the card in spoilers so people who want to go to the prerelease without any prior knowledge of any new cards may continue to do so. There are some people who go to prereleases for shock factor alone.

The New Card:

The purple-ish color from the timeshifted cards is appearing on the text of the card instead of the expansion symbol. This might be how Wizards of the Coast will mark the new "planeshifted" cards. Theoretically, these planeshifted cards would be reprints of older cards but in different colors.

So what does everybody think about having two different Wrath of Gods in Standard? What other cards might be considerations for this new planeshifted idea?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

gah 2 wrath of gods? I like playing slivers, and lets just say, I can't stand having my board wrathed again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again.

8 times. and for fun Hour of reckoning.

anyway: I'm excited for the new stuff, but I really need to be careful on my purchases. I've been buying too much recently.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Heh...this game brings back good memories. I used to play it around late '98 through 2002. I think I started around Urza's Destiny or Mercadian Masques, I don't know...but man it was a lot of fun. My friends and I would play it every day if we could. Granted I wasn't a great player, but my friends helped me build a very power green deck with with Elvish Pipers, Thorn Elementals and Rushwood Elementals, then combo them with Might of Oaks and they become deadly. The key with my deck was get as much mana and creatures out as possible and then be a constant offensive force. It wasn't perfect no, but it was powerful which I liked.


If i had friends around me, i'd play it again. I bet though all my cards are banned offically or whatever lmao.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Yeah...I wont keep my promise to post my zombies because they keep changing like every 2nd day

anyway here is my latest not so new deck

Stars and Stripes
standard 60 card deck

Lands:
4 Plains
4 Mountain
4 Island
4 Gemstone Mine
2 Boros Garrison
2 Izzet Boilerworks

Creatures
4 Savannah Lions
2 Boros Guildmage
4 Izzet Guildmage
4 Skyknight Legionaire
4 Lightning Angel
2 Jaya Ballard, Task Mage
2 Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind

Other spells
3 Shock
3 Fiery Temper
4 Lightning Helix
4 Electrolyze
4 Ophidian Eye

Sideboard
3 Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir
4 Pyroclasm
4 Remand
4 Boomerang

Its a pretty fast deck, if mana works as it should it doesnt know much enemies...I've even beaten some very good sligh deck with it

However its weak point (the mana) is damn obvious, playing a 3-colored deck without any duals cant be too good...thatswhy I plan to replace the basic lands by 4 Sacred Faundry, 4 Steam Vents and 4 Hallowed Fountain.

Sure it can be risky playing without any basic lands, not to forget the pain caused by the lands (at least less painful than the "painlands" known from Ice-Age/Apocalypse)

I also look forward to the day when Ravnica goes out of Standard, I just cant wait to add some Fire//Ice (kick out shock of course)!

Of course there will be more changes have to be done then but Fire//Ice seems to be the most important card to include, thinking of its power

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Hey I've got a couple of thousand M:TG cards (many from about 10 years ago). I know they're probably phased out of play now. Do you guys know of a reputable online buyer or someone I could sell them too. I think it might be too costly to list lots on eBay but if I have to that's what I'll probably do.

FELIPE NO

lol..there already been a "stars and stripes?"

well so im gonna rename it to starspangeld banner

its just like 2 months until ravnica leaves standard so its time to remodel the deck...I dont have my decklist on me right now...Im gonna post it within the next days...

UGH!

Btw....what do you think of the design introduced in futuresight?

wow i hate it so much....if they really switch to that design now mtg is kinda doomed looking like just any random tcg..i loved mtg for looking badass (classical design, before 8th edition/mirrodin)...ya know timeshifted cards in timespiral have been the best looking recently..well I just loved to see they went back to the classical design of cards..

oh yeah Im also in the middle of building a zombie deck which is based on aluren...will be fun to play....decklist comes with the other one

depends on the format you play i guess....Hell as far as I hear they even unbanned Mind Twist....so....guess you can be lucky and most of your stuff is legal in legacy or even extended (no need to talk about vintage IMO)

laterz.

There has been no announcement of a design change. The cards in futuresight that look like that are supposed to be cards "from the future of magic", just like the cards in time spiral have the time shifted cards and the all of the planar chaos cards are basically Magic thrown into a blender and pulled out.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Unglued ftw.
Chaos Magic ftw.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
