Match Report - Ryan W.'s: Mirrodin Besieged... →
ryanwilliamson:
Yesterday I attended the prerelease event for Mirrodin Besieged at the Best Western Primrose hotel in Toronto. Going into the event I wasn’t sure how I was going to like the format since the Scars of Mirrodin limited play annoyed the crap out of me with the infect decks, because 10 life just isn’t…

Commentary - Tumblr Magnet: The Kamigawa Openings →
tumblrmagnet:
A couple of years ago, I purchased a box of each set of Kamigawa. This was intended to be so my friends and I could crack some packs and have fun with it, but the plans never panned out after the first session, so I had 20-something packs of each just sitting in boxes, waiting for… I don’t know.
It’s not like the set has any real value, outside of a few cards. The money I’ve paid...

Match Reports - The Space Cavern: Besieged →
spaceyeti:
I opened some ballsy rares today. The best of which was a Chimeric Mass (my 5th so far), with a Trinket Mage to match. Pretty cool. Psychosis Crawler was my coolest Besieged rare, and I ended up running it. A Phyrexian Vatmother didn’t make the cut, as I was short the good poison guys by a…

zombieweekend asked: I just wanted to recommend Tappedout.net to you and everyone who follows this blog. It has a good online program that will let you play test a deck. The only problems I had with it is you can't search your deck, but you can just draw cards until you find the card you needed to search for and then put it back and shuffle. You can also use it for practice drafts or even drafts with your...

wilhelmdream asked: How long have you been playing? You mentioned earlier you were only familiar with more current sets, if so I suggest downloading Magic Workstation. It's really great for building decks/familiarizing yourself with older sets.

skyforsense-deactivated20110213 asked: Well, it went well. c: I drew Nicol Bolas and Inkwell Leviathan (which I actually got out in a 40 card deck), and won four out of six matches, and picked Cruel Ultimatum as my prize. It was a great experience.

asmilethroughthetears-deactivat asked: Hey I'm fairly new to MtG, and I have just enough cards for two well thought out decks. What do you think of a blue-green and a black control? And also, is there a specific rule for how many cards in a deck? If so, what is it? Thanks. Keep doing what you do. Makes me happy to see more people that don't care about people calling you nerds or something.

Commentary - (Almost) 24 hours of Magic.
jtsmtg:
Woke up at 1 PM on Friday, and found out that my Local Game Store (I shorthand it to LGS), Armada Games here in Tampa, was running 24 hours of Mirrodin Besieged, beginning at 12:10 AM with a Faction Sealed event. I got to the store around 11:30 PM to sign up, and decided to go Phyrexian since it felt like the stronger faction to win packs with (and since 7 of the Top 8 were Phyrexian, my...

weekdayxnachos asked: Hi,
It'd be really cool if you could post a primer for how a pre-release/release works for some people who have never done one. Years back when I first starting getting into magic I had no idea what to do or where to go. Thanks in advance!

Where does one start when building a mtg deck? D:
thekneesofthebees:
I have all the cards I just don’t know how to make something super-mega-foxy-awesome-hot out of them ;D
Well, here’s a basic super-mega-foxy-awesome-hot guide.
Get the cards you really like This is basic. Find an idea or card you want to win with or have fun with. For example, one of my decks uses really big creatures that are just that - big. A simple fun deck.

Reply - Sorting
spikepit replied to your post: How do you sort your Magic cards?
So does that mean you use folders/9 slot sleeves too then? I also am about to start sorting mine out properly and want to know the best way to do it.
No, I actually use fatpack most of the time. I use plastic index card separators. Rares are kept in the 9 pocket folders.
