LoadingReadyRun: It's Magic

[moose_man]

So is Tim actually gone?

 

[rabidmidget]

NO! Don't tempt me back into that, I already quit once!

...

starts looking at new card spoilers

 

[Double A]

Dammit, now I'm somewhat interested in Magic. This raises my nerd level by at least 2.8 kiloGygaxes... (and I'm pretty sure that joke only made it worse)

Play Magic or you will die without knowing how to destroy Cthulhu with a squirrel.

 

[Slavik_91]

I have a green black infect deck I'm honing to a fine, infectious point for that.

I hope you are fielding a couple Hand of the Praetors? To help boost your infectors, I have a Black/Red infect/artifact deck. Has a wonderful Contagion Engine to double proliferate poison, and my baby: Skithryx, the Blight Dragon

Poisions,bah! I'll stick to my 349082349038 ''destroy target creature that looks at me funny'' cards

On a side note, go zombies!

My infect deck is mostly green with a splash of black. It's really fast, and designed to be that way, so I've skipped proliferation in favour of green boosts. The idea I use Corpse Curs to bring back disposable infect creatures (and my putrefaxes!), then as soon as something gets through I throw 2 giant growths/groundswells/vines of vastwoods on them.

Opponent: I'll take the 1 point counter from the plague stinger, I guess.
Me: Actually, you'll take 8 poison counters from that plague stinger.

That sounds unbelievably cheap/awesome/fun to annoy people, like a blue deck

player 1: Ha!, now you'll take 11 dmg from my blaz-
player 2: *yawn* Cancel.
player 1: FUUUUUUUUUUUUU-wait.AH! so I'll jsut attack with my army of gob-
player2: Time Stop.
player 1:*eats up deck*

and don't get me started on Counterbore...

I can think of a couple of ways to make this deck a lot better now that I look at it. Also, don't freak out about the mana amount. I've won plenty of games with 4 or 5 land out. The deck actually runs surprisingly well on three mana, as long as two of those are plains. That said, now I want to tinker with it.

Why do you run both versions of Ajani? Sure, your deck has a theme, but if you draw one when the other is already in play, you may as well have just drawn a card saying "As an extra cost to play this, shoot yourself in the foot."

 

[Slavik_91]

I just noticed you could use some Ajani's Mantra too, you get 1 life on your upkeep and a +1/+1 to the Pridemate, though that's more suited for a slow deck like my soldier deck

 

[Lady Kathleen]

There's only two so they don't often come out together. Plainswalkers are pretty disposable, and it's AMAZINGLY funny to say "oh, you killed Ajanai. Look who's back! Ajani Vengeant! He's the angriest kitty!!"

 

[Vohn_exel]

I just never could get into Magic. Then again, I abhore most card games for some reason. I don't mind board games, but card games just aren't my thing.

This was a GREAT Hustle and definitely up to par and as enjoyable as any of the first season! I can't wait to see what ya'll come up with next. Nice to see Tim one last time to say goodbye, lets hope he forgot something else so he'll stop by once and a while .

Also, the switch of Tim and Alex was just great

I do love green for that, are you also using Untamed Might? If you have a lot of forests in your deck, then Primal Below is also a nice green boost card.

 

[Slavik_91]

Accelerated Mutation too for decks with big Beasts or Wurms

 

[Death God]

I've never played Magic before but this was kind of funny though.

 

[Daemonate]

My GOD.

My workmates and I just did this video...in real life.

I mean, everything, like...

That is SCARY guys. We hadn't played in about 9 years. And that is what happened...

 

[Slavik_91]

I know the feeling, a month ago I was with my friends and we saw a bunch of dudes playing Magic, and I've found out that my mates used to play it too....and ever since we play it like 3948390488 times a day.

 

[Darth_Dude]

Was James wearing a Poppy?

Great episode, also still not interested in playing the game. Partly because there is no one to play against and it is expensive.

Yes, for Remembrance Day.

Geez Matt, I just looked at some of those cards, did you buy a majority of those Angels as singles? My friend runs an Angel deck, and I'm sure she wouldn't mind some of those cards, I was only able to pull a Baneslayer Angel for her out of those Mytic Rares.

 

[penthesilea180]

I miss Tim. Also, I vowed long ago not to get involved with Magic: The Gathering. I still have a bloody army of Heroclix under my bed. Was this episode at all inspired by the Crapshots episode "The Cards"?

 

[Tomo Stryker]

This has to be a message from God. I just started playing two days ago because he sent it to me as a gift on Steam and he hates me now because of my White Deck. Go Pacifism!

 

[Kristoffer Sivertsen]

Fucking magnets, how do they work?

I just now noticed when Jer grabs the box in the store, you can barely see Kathleen in the background.
