My mistake it's from Revised, not Legends.

[SubzeroDiabolos]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh I totally want one PM me infos please.

God damn the memories.... Wow.

[SubzeroDiabolos]

I have a question, again. I was playing a dude 5 min ago on MWS and he had BSA with a basilisk collar on. He attacked me with it for 6 as it was exhalted, and then decided to gain 12 life. I was like dude.. It doesn't stack since the new ruling. He was telling me to lern2play. Do I have to or was I right?

[Tricen]

You are right. Lifelink is no longer cumulative.

[SubzeroDiabolos]

Man, you control target player's next turn is so fucking awesome haha. Nothing like using his own tectonic edge 2x to kill his celestial colonade and glacial fortress, use his jace's Beleren last loyalty counter to make me draw. :D

[Tricen]

The format is going to have to slow down for Mindslaver to be playable.

[SubzeroDiabolos]

Nah it was from the black planeswalker (forgot name of, but not liliana) ultimate actually.

[Tricen]

Lol Sorin. He really is overcosted. :/

[SubzeroDiabolos]

Well I got to play it vs blue white control so yeah. You got a clue of Vampire Nocturus is getting some sort of replacement? A brother maybe?

[Tricen]

Captivating vampire is its replacement.
























lol

[Weltall]

Yeah, and Captivating Vampire blows ass lol.

[Tricen]

Duuuude, simmer down. It's totally viable.



















































loooool

is the MtG XBLA game worth downloading for someone who is only somewhat familiar with MtG?

[oldoldman]

Yes, it follows all the rules which is cool.

[DrRuler]

The game would be good if you are completely new to MtG, as it does a remarkably good job of teaching you the rules from scratch, which is very useful if you have no mentor figure to learn from. HOWEVER I feel I must direct any normal MtG player to my previous 5 second review of this game.

I "hypothetically" pirated the computer version. (as I do with most games before I bother with buying them off steam, except valve games, those are instant buys...) This game is so bad I actually got mad about "hypothetically" pirating it. DO NOT under any circumstance get drunk enough to waste money on this shit.

(the expansion pack didn't help either)

Reason for that rage post was mostly due to the game having terrible decks with (practically) no ability to alter them, the tapping of mana is done automatically when selecting a spell, which is agrivating beyond all belief as the computer will often tap your only mana producing land of a certain color, when you originally planned to use that land to cast a spell later in the turn, it doesn't have an impact early in the game, but in later levels it will be mind-boggling how they left that in as you will take many hits you shouldn't have with your multi-colored deck due to a poor design flaw. Other issues aside, those two alone will cripple the games playability for more experienced MtG players.

[Norellicus]

I finally learned how to play this at PAX thanks to the starter deck they had in the swag bags; rules seem easy enough, but is there someplace I can learn more about deck strategy? If I were to get into it I'd like to be able to do more than just stare blankly at a random assortment of cards and pick blindly.

[Olo401]

Not sure what websites are still around from when I was playing.. maybe mtgnews, yourmovegames or star city?

[gaimear]

I use mtgsalvation

[DrRuler]

mtgsalvation and TCGplayer both seem like good choices, I have accounts on both, there are a ton of helpful people.

A better powder keg, NOMNOM
