Ultima Legacy Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 About your question Lalaith, there are many different stratagies out there. I myself, like the head on attack using such cards as Crimson Hellkite or Sorceries like Fireball and Volcanic Hammer. Slivers are actually a really good strategy. They each help each other with their special abilites. The person playing has their own strategy, there is no West Coast or East Coast strategy. Any other questions about MTG? P.S. Thank U James!

Hyper Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 Is atatckign with cards like Crimson Hellkite a strategy? Attacking is just part of the game. Unless I'm missing something. *Bonks head* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Legacy Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 Crimson Hellkite has the ability to attack creatures head on without getting hurt, you pay X amount of Mountain mana to do X amount of damage where X is the Number of Mountains you tapped to use the ability. Another question answered. Any more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerosaber Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 Lalaith Ril there are some kind of strategies in certain parts of the world. Some deck gets popular because it rocked reigonals in their people start making decks around it using a "kind of different " idea but its basically the same and then people start making decks to beat that. Then the cycle continues with your occasion original deck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wintermute Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 I always thought that someone making a deck specifically to beat one deck is a HUGE compliment to the owner of the original deck. One of the biggest you can give, in the sphere of magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sui Generis Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 I agree with you WinterMute. It happened to me once in a tournement. I had played the kid several times that year and he told me after our close battle (I came out the victor by 2 life points) that he had built that deck to beat my deck and it center around going against my usual strategies. It was awesome to know that you were recognized for your playing abilities. Anyways my favorite deck of all time I let some one borrow and they've had it for aobut a month now. Its a combination of a sliver/sorcery/counter deck. I'm not sure how but I mixed that all in a 60 card deck. It is un-beaten so far.... 48-0 (Tourney games only) Alright sorry enough bragging.... And by the way attacking is a strategy in its own. You must figure out when to attack...when to use the creature's abilities. And there are many Green decks (mainly) that are centered plainly on attacking. No enchantments nor any other kinds of tricks. Although these style decks are normally thought of as newbie decks, but can actaully prove to be very powerful.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Maul Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 I'd just like to give a few pointers about Magic the Gathering to all of you beginers out there. If you want to build the ultimate deck, use vampires and dragons. It is a well known fact to all professional MTG players that vampires and dragons are the most powerful cards out there. I've been playing for over two years now (not as long as some I've played), so I know what I'm talking about. Also, always have plenty of artifacts on hand. Old school artifacts are the best, because when they made them, they didn't have the card creating standards as they do presently. Go by this rule I made that usually works: If the picture is boring, the card probably kicks ***. The size of your deck is important, too. Some places, the house rules require a players deck to be up to sixty cards, while in other places, there is no limit. A big deck isn't always a good idea. You may have a card in there that could win the game, but if it's card number 768 in your deck, then you're done for. A good deck consists of 80-100 cards. Mana is a key elment in winning. You don't want barely enough to get by, or so much you draw a mulligan every time. A good ratio of mana to non-mana is 2 to 3. That means for every 3 non-mana cards, you should have 2 mana cards (it helps if they are of the same color). Here are some color good combos: Black & White Black & Red (White is like the blue jeans of MTG, it goes well with every thing) Blue & Green Blue & Black There's probably more I could think of but, oh well. PM me with questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerosaber Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Uh Mr. Maul sorry to say but there is a deck limit in the rules 60 cards minimum and that is a pretty good place for the deck size because like you said the bigger the deck the less likely you'll get the cards you need.

Axel--Ignition Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 If anyone has apprentice, or even AIM, I'll battle you, My AIM is DoomGaze10825. I play a mono black and a red/green beatdown, both are Type II Also, some unofficial tournament acctually let you play with 40 cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Legacy Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 Official tournaments do have the 60 card limit but, another rule that I hate is the rule that you can only use cards from the three newest expansion of cards. Reason: I only have cards that are really old...*Grumbles* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axel--Ignition Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 That is what I mean by Type II, acctually, it's the two newest blocks and the newest edition. Right now, sets you can use are Odyssey, Torment, Judgement, Onslaught, Legions, (Scourge), and 7th Edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Maul Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 I knew about the 60 card limit, but that's only in official tournament play. I was talking about playing with your friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerosaber Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 Hey Axel what kind of red green beatdown/ mono-black there are so many of each. I myself play Type 2 goblin speed. I'm thinking of either making a soldier or Zombie deck( I just love tribal wars) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axel--Ignition Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 I dismantled the Red-Green a few days ago, it had too many defects. As for the mono-control as I call it, is still in play. Basically, it uses many powerful cards that only work with an all black deck- Cabal Coffers, Riptide Replicator, Nightmare, Corrupt, Mutilate. There's also some fast threats, Grinning Demon, Hollow Specter, and Drinker of sorrow. I discard hands and destroy lands and creatures in an all out lockdown.

Axel--Ignition Posted May 11, 2003 Share Posted May 11, 2003 Anubis: Green/White? Make a Slide deck. I'll help you start: 3-Astral Slide 4-Planar Guide 3-Exalted Angel 3-Renewed Faith 4-Sunfire Balm 3-Words of Worship 2-Krosan Cloudscraper 2-Krosan Colossus 4-Krosan Tusker 4-Primal Boost 3-Words of Wilding 2-City of Brass 4-Nantuko Monastery 4-Secluded Steppe 4-Tranquil Thicket 6-Plains 5-Forest If you have seen a Slide deck, you sould know how to play it. Basically, you cycle cards to morph up large creatures by means of Astral Slide. Astral Slide pulls a creature out of play for a turn and lets you flip it up according to the rules. There are two other enchantments: the Words, when you cycle, you draw. What the words do, they let you do something else instead of drawing a card. This makes up a fomidable deck with some Krosan beasts. Expanding: Add Red cards like Lightning Rift and Starstorm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
