Just opened up twenty one packs last night, this was my haul:

Underworld Cerberus
Rageblood Shaman
Shipbreaker Kraken
Gift of Immortality
Steam Augury
Mistcutter Hydra
Thoughtseize
Colossus of Akros + Shiny Purphoros (Same Pack)
Elspeth + Elspeth Emblem
Anthousa, Setessan hero
Temple of Abandon
Artisan of Forms
Hammer of Purphoros
Thassa, God of the Sea
Tymaret, the Murder King
Chained the the Rocks (If I Trait Doctor an Island to a Mountain, and cast CttR on it, does the enchantment get destroyed at the end of turn when it goes back to being an Island?)
Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx
Nighthowler
Heliod, God of the Sun
Hero's Downfall
Soldier of the Pantheon.

Bunch of good stuff, not complaining, but would have traded any of them (Save Elspeth and Thoughtseize) for a Boon Satyr or two......

Any of them good trade material for Magic Cthulu (Eldrazi Titans)?

I've got a Boon Satyr, would you be willing to do a trade?

I would be, but I have to talk to my brother first; it was part of the deal we made when he said he would buy me a booster box that he gets "First Trade Rights" on my rares.

What are you wanting? I might be able to steer him away from it.

The cards I'd like:
Hero's Downfall*
Heliod
Thoughtseize (Though I know this is on the no trade block )
Underworld Cerberus*

Unless your brother plays Rakdos aggro I don't see him going for the Underworld Cerberus and if he is, that's fine

* - Most need/use

I've been thinking of a White based Heroics deck. I'm not sure I'd want to splash in another color, but this is what I'm thinking of so far.

Creatures
4x Favored Hoplite
4x Phalanx Leader
4x Hopeful Eidolon
3-4x Precinct Captain (I believe I have 4, but I might only have 3)
4x Fabled Hero

Spells
4x Gods Willing
4x Dauntless Onslaught
4x Swift Justice
4x Show of Valor

Lands
24 Plains

Sideboard
4x Celestial Flare
4x Silence
4x Soldier of the Pantheon
3x Ordeal of Heliod

Ok. Thought I was missing some, and just got some more packs from my brother, raising it up to thirty six. Here are THOSE rares:

Boon Satyr (NFT)
Curse of the Swine (NFT)
Triad of Fates
Sylvan Caryatid
Anax and Cymede
Akroan Horse (NFT)
Agent of the Fates
Ashen Rider + Celestial Archon
Anger of the Gods
Fabled Hero (NFT)
Fleecemane Lion
Reaper of the Wilds
Labryrinth Champion
Pyxis of Pandemonium
Spear of Heliod

Slarg are you still interested in a Boon Saytr?

i may have to put up a post in the trade forum (do they allow non warhammer stuff in there??) listing magic cards i have that i would trade for warhammer goods and bits ...

Hey everyone, I have been playing magic for a while now, and am currently building casual decks for the heck of it, and I came across an idea while looking through my boxes of cards to make a w/g Pegasus deck with buffs, etc, I will post a prototype decklist later, due to me having to post this from my iPhone, and having to go soon , I am really looking forward to any ideas, and throwing a groundswell on a wingsteed rider (from Theros) and attacking with it with all the buffs etc, any ideas? As I said before, I will post a decklist later, once I can get on a computer, and don't have to cramp my fingers up with typing on a small keyboard, any ideas would be great! Thanks!

Sacred Mesa and Pegasus Stampede would be a great addition to really up the Pegasus count.

So I made a White Heroic deck, hoping to try it out this weekend. I like it, because much like a good soup mix this sets up the board to be easily adapted for splashing in any other color to go either Selesnya, Boros, or Azorius.

Thoughts?

Hey Alf, I no longer need the Boon Satyrs (My brother is finishing my playset for me), but you wouldn't happen to have any Realmwrights, Enter the Infinite, or Vraska (Might be pushing the value there....), would you?

Unrelated, but I've got a deck idea I'm fidgeting around with right now;




And the Sycophant or whatever it's called ( {X} {U}, counter target spell unless it's controller pays {X})

Have fun killing yourself with your own mana!

I went 3-0 with this deck on Friday, I beat 2 Gruul decks and a Rakdos deck.

I then played a 2 headed giant on Saturday with this deck... it was kind of hairy, but I got a lot of freaking lands in the middle of it :(

Would it be possible to make a 'police force' pauper with mainly stuff like azorius arrester, deft duelist, deputy of acquittals, etc, with enchantments and instants that let me totally deny all possible actions that would be a threat to me,like modern police officers, so pretty much, a control pauper, with hardcore detain and making sure their creatures stay tapped with spells that have cipher, etc, or would my other idea work......? ( I haven't posted the other idea yet)

Hey everyone, i was just curious on what might be some good ideas for budget decks (i find them fun to build, i built one that beat my friend's reanimator 3-4 times in a row ) that are easy to throw together, and win with,annoy friends with, or just have fun with, really anything, i have looked around on MTG vault, and other spots, but i was curious what other people might think about budget decks or if they have any they would like to share, along with an explanation on how to play the deck itself, etc.

I do okay with my Azorius deck, It's built off of the pre-constructed deck, and a few pieces here or there. Though I cannibalized it to make my monowhite heroics deck. It's not fantastic by any stretch of the imagination, but it's fun against my friends who play casually.

This thread tends to go in spurts, generally around new set time. Which is fine, we're a tabletop gaming forum, not an MTG forum.

What kind of budget are we talking about here? Standard, Modern, Legacy, Vintage, Commander, or Casual? In general, Burn usually runs the cheapest in any format- its success just varies depending on what else is out there.

Really anything, mostly legacy, but it doesn't really matter which.

 orkkiller21 wrote:

Budget Legacy?? Good luck. (don't take my opinions as gospel though, I only play casual)

Probably goblins or affinity, if you just wanted to netdeck. You're still looking at a couple hundred bucks though. Or are you looking at alternatives to existing decks, like Paradise Mantle instead of Mox Opal for affinity? Are you wanting to do tournaments, or just play with friends? What kind of budget are we looking at?

A reasonable price, not as if I were to drop $100+ on a deck maybe $10-25 or $30

In legacy? Uhmm....
Spells-
4 Lightning Blast
4 Fireblast
4 Flame Rift
4 Price of Progress
4 Chain Lightning
4 Lava Spike
4 Rift Bolt
Creatures
4 Keldon Marauders
4 Hellspark Elemental
4 Goblin Guide
Land-
20 Mountains
This may actually be over $30. You might cut the Goblin Guide for something like Searing Blaze to stay in budget. It's a start though.

well...... i recently (really about a month ago) decided to start playing the EDH/ Commander format, and am making a Bant themed deck, i already have a lot of stuff i am going to be using in the deck, such as Elspeth, the Sun's Champion, Gideon champion of Justice, etc, i plan on making the white part be mostly made up of soldiers, and cards that eill generate soldier tokens, and give my soldiers other abilities,etc, then the green part will consist of mainly buffs, etc, and cards that will help up my token count such as parallel lives, and growing ranks, and things of the sort. Then, the blue part will really just be counterspells, like negate,cancel,annul,etc, and other cards that can make my creatures hexproof or unblockable,etc.

My commander will most likely be Rafiq of the Many, or the bant angel ,Asura (?) Any ideas?

I also have made a plan for a mono-red edh deck that i would command with Heartless hidetsugu, kiki-jiki mirrorbreaker, or Rakka Mar, it will be all aggro and burn, with creatures who will most likely all have haste, or deal damage, and lots of it, i am going to throw in a leyline of punishment,chandra nalaar, etc, and maybe a Tibalt just for a distraction, any ideas for the mono red?

Hey guys!
Just found this thread, thought I'd say that I play MTG too (albeit only casually).
I really enjoy the 'testing out my ideas' kinda side of it, I've managed to build up a few really fun to play decks!
I currently run:
Mono green defender ramp (So I use axebane guardian, overgrown battlement, and gatecreeper vine, and if opponents can't kill me quickly enough, things escalate ridiculously fast).
Boros Agro (my most competitive/consistent deck, I can often get a turn five win. No cards in this deck cost me more than 2$ each, most I got in trades or repack boosters).
Dimir Mill Beat-down (basically, I mill them, but milling to kill is way too slow, so I have a playset of jace's phantasm, wight of precinct 6, and multiple consuming aberrations, along with defenders and some evasion (Gotta love essence harvest when you have a fat consuming aberration))
Allies tribal 5 - colour deck (This deck was really just for fun, I saw the allies mechanic and loved it, So i got all I could find in any colour and created this deck. It actually plays fairly well, considering I made it from scratch and it only has a couple of rares in it.)
Good to see some other Dakka magicians!

Anyone going to game day tomorrow? I picked up the heroes from pre-release and release as well as my face the hydra deck. Gonna try my luck against them.

No, but good luck

Does anyone think a mono-red edh/commander deck would be any good? (the idea is in my top post) or if a better explanation is needed, i can explain my plan further.

If you are on a budget, making a good commander deck of any combination is going to be really hard.

True.....thats why i have changed my plan, and will only use blue and white for my first commander deck. I decided that maybe trying to shoot for a 3 color edh deck at first might just be a bit too hard at the moment, bieng busy with so many things and having not as much time as usual to actually go through my cards and pick good ones out. The commander is going to be Daxos of Meletis,with white bieng the soldiers, etc side of it, and the blue bieng the control side of it, along with milling to make sure my opponent cant get what they want in their deck,(unless they are playing spells that let them retrieve stuff from their graveyard),because its gone, i will also be adding in multicolored cards such as azorius elocutors,detention sphere, etc, to add to the control side, and for the white side, i will proudly add in my Elspeth, the Sun's Champion.

Any ideas?

I will post a better explanation of the deck in a little while, with how it'll work, etc

In Commander/EDH, everyone will be able to get cards back from there graveyard. I learned that from experience.
