Current events

This page is for discussion of stuff related to the game coming up this week, no matter when that actually is. For instance, we can all assume Nate isnt coming for some lame reason and that Ed is sick of pizza and is bringing teriyaki or some other crap. They can post something here if that happens to be untrue.

Other Non-RPG gaming Events

Next friday, even though many of you will be gone, I am considering having a board game event at my house. This would be during the afternoon and in to the evening. Any of you suckers can come. <---Not Ed, But accurate <----I think it actually is Jason (ed will be in oregon)although it may be Santa

Weekly Magic Whining/Complaining/Smack Talking

--Edmiao 18:00, 17 November 2007 (MST) just downloaded Magic Workstation. very nice. i have this idea that i should log in all the cards in the mongo set to enable deckbuilding. might take a bit of work though. check it out, free program and seems to have a nice interface. If any of you blokes want to play some magic online we could try it through Magic Workstation.

--Gdaze-- Hmm I should try it out! Speaking of Magic, I just made an artifact deck I'd really like to try out. It... has a simple theme so I dunno.

BEN: I made a force of nature deck (which, btw, Jason, has two of your force of nature and one regrowth in it...just to make sure they go back to you as soon as I take the deck apart) that largely got schooled by Jason's decks. Nevertheless, getting a force of nature out consistently on turn 4 was fun.

--Edmiao 14:46, 19 November 2007 (MST) i have some ideas for that dragon mage. we'll see if they work. anyone mind if i steal the magic card horde over christmas, my brother in law will be in town. we should have some board game/magic/heroscape if anyone is in town christmas week.

--Jason 15:10, 19 November 2007 (MST)I will be in town and interested. Ben, what is the reason the FoN deck is losing? It is significant to produce a dominating creature that early in the game. You probably just need a few tweaks. Make sure you arent using one trick pony cards like wild growth to do it, use Llanowar Elves, Fyndhorn Elves and Fyndhorn Elders instead, those can attack when not being used for mana. Consider using Hurricane to keep flyers away and to shorten the game as well. Decks like that are normally much better in duel than in multi player.

--Edmiao 15:16, 19 November 2007 (MST) we'll plan some xmas week stuff..... Onward with Magic debates. comparing wild growth to Llanowar elves, I find the elves die much easier because creature kill and Tim are very common while land kill and antienchantment are less common. As the elves can attack, it seems a toss up which is better to me. do you encounter more land destruction than I am used to? this would weigh in favor of the elves.

--Jason 15:36, 19 November 2007 (MST)Llanowar Elves cost a lot less than Prodigal Sorcerers. They will be in the game a lot more often. If someone has to use their PS to kill them, so be it. Wild Growth is pretty much a useless card. It can virtually never contribute to victory and rarely helps. Usually by the time a PS has been cast the LE has already served its purpose. They are all about speed. Late in the game a Wild Growth has no use, but a LE can still be an attacker, blocker or someone to draw fire. If you look through successful magic decks generally you will find that cards serve multiple purposes unless they are serious hosers (like Blood Rain) or game winners. Wild Growth is neither; it helps a little in the early game, but other cards (such as LE) help as much or more and can contribute in other ways.
