Magic: The Gathering

Forgot to mention it's T2, and those cards target, while the ones I mentioned are each opponents. There rules here are when you have to target it's either left or right, and you can only attack left, while each opponents target everybody. Lame like that.

While winning the game would net me 2 points, the game would still carry on until everybody but the last man standing is dead, and if the person to your left dies, (even if you didn't kill him yourself) it nets you 1 point.

My comment stands.

Anyone have any good recommendations for remote internet magic play? (Not counting Magic Online because I don't want to buy all of my cards again in virtual form).

One of my friends in my regular magic group recently moved to a different state and we're pursuing options to be able to keep playing.

Any good freeware clients to input decks? Or maybe even webcam programs that allow for like 6+ people to interface at once?

You mean Magic Workstation?

Though I think you can only do 1vs1

[SubzeroDiabolos]

Magic Workstation, but it only supports 1 vs 1. It's free though, but require some settings and if you want the art for the cards you have to download them seperatly.

Decent software nonetheless -- Magic Workstation

I'll check it out, thanks.

They'll never notice!

I can't believe monogreen eldrazi isn't being mentioned when talking about top decks, it's a house against almost everything.

[Deftscythe]

Lame I know, but next friday were having a melee everyone vs everyone. Most likely tables of 4 or more. You can only attack the person on your left, and only be attacked by the person on your right.

I was thinking about something like this.

I could put some fetches in there like Liliana Vess or Diabolic tutor.
It's cheap but you guys got any better idea for quick victory? lol

If you're going the lifegain route in multiplayer, you'd be silly not to include soul warden, or whatever the standard-legal version of it is.

In a control heavy meta it's not. It's too easy to lock down. It's beaten by RUG, WW Quest, UB & WU control, Elves+ Venge is faster, It really only wins against Valakut reliably. Look at the most recent 5ks, I don't think any of them were won by Eldrazi green.

Summoning trap says hello. It's actually fine against control because there aren't fast win conditions right now. With 4x traps main and a couple Gaea's Revenge in the board it actually is favored. Aggro is a little tough pre board but post board when you're bringing in Ratchet Bombs and Baloths it really becomes a pretty good game. Elves is hard if they stick the right stuff and you can't all is dust in time but even it isn't worse than 35-40%.

[Tonko]

Summoning trap can be countered as well, it just gets cast for free, and only freebies off of a countered creature spell. If all of it's ramp gets countered or killed in the case of battlements / mana dorks, they're sunk. Not to mention Tectonic edge slowing you down even further. Additionally, any eldrazi titan gets locked down by Frost Titan if you happen to hit the board with one. You'll never get to attack.

Eldrazi green is not a powerhouse currently. Look at the top tournament results, and tell me how many Eldrazi ramp decks you see.

[oldoldman]

Battlements only die to doom blade, same with joraga preboard against everything but red, Them countering either of those is more than fine when you can slam down a turn 2 titan in it's place, frost titan is a concern which is where gaea's revenge comes in. You just have to keep in mind that the control decks right now are looking to grind you out with incremental advantage but the moment you hardcast that emrakul there's pretty much nothing they can do. Also look at the number of counter control decks are running, the odds of them having 2 counters and the mana to use them on turn 4 when you're dropping primeval isn't high.

Eldrazi green is the dark horse of the format.

[Tricen]

So game 1 you have the upperhand and game 2 they side in flash freeze and spell pierce. They will most likely have 2 counters for your turn 4 titan, if you can even get to a turn 4 titan.

Question,
Asceticism is out on my field and Wurmcoil Engine. If I attack with the wurm and it dies can I regenerate it from Asceticism AND get the tokens? Pretty sure it isn't true but wanted to be sure. Also with regenerate, can you regenerate Platinum Angel if you are at 0 life (can't be at negative if I remember right) and still still survive?

[Weltall]

Eldrazi green gets owned so hard by U/B....

Mindbreak Trap
Counters
Memoricide
VOLITIEN REINS (Took out PV with this card 2 games in a row lol)

You don't get the tokens, and yes you still survive with the Angel.

[oldoldman]

Flashfreeze doesn't answer your win conditions and spell pierce doesn't answer a lot. You have to keep in mind that if they're keeping that much counter mana up they aren't doing anything, letting you just lay down eldrazi temples til you drop a kozilek or ulamog. I think that people dismiss the deck just because it's the common belief that ramp decks just auto lose to counters and control but if you know when to play what you beat all but nut draws really.

I'm at 70% against U/B in testing.
