2  Eternal Formats / Creative / Back into the schwing... on: April 13, 2005, 01:25:12 pm
Ok, some may remember me, most probably don't, and that ok. A while back, probably about 8-10 months ago, enough time so I didn't see any of Kamigawa(and still haven't for that matter) I pretty much quit magic. I needed the time and money I used on it for other things(i.e. Car, car insurance, working, and I was starting a band). Well I sold pretty much all my "good" card except for a small contingent of artifacts, lands, and welders...to keep Slax together for time when I would start up magic again. Well I decided I can now afford time to play at a local type one tourney one saterdays occasionally. I believe it is unsanctioned and allows for 5 proxies, but until I find out for sure, I'm assuming it's DCI santioned. In no way do I plan on going back into magic as much as I had previously, atleast not yet. But I would like some advice on improving my slax(obv no power, or shops) and see if there is anything from the new sets that will help me. The meta I will be expecting(if it's still like it was when I used to go to these) is a bunch of random decks, mostly tribal, with elves, and probably zombies...anyway...there will probably also be a few extended decks with some T1 cards thrown in, and then there will be a few top notch type one decks. I've adjusted the main deck and sideboard for this meta, and any additional you can provide, is greatly appreciated.

Mana sources:
3x City of Traitors
3x Ancient Tomb
4x Wasteland
1x Strip Mine
5x Mountain
4x Great Furnace
1x Grim Monolith
1x Mana Vault
1x Lotus Petal
1x Sol Ring
1x Tolarian Academy
1x Mana Crypt
4x Metal Worker

Draw:
1x Memory Jar
2x Mind's Eye(or Grafted Skullcap, haven't decided which I'd rather use...)
1x Wheel of Fortune

Control:
4x Chalice of the Void
4x Smokestack
4x Tangle Wire
4x Trinishpere
2x Sphere of Resistance(other two are in the board)

Welders:
4x Goblin Welder

t3h w!n:
2x Triskelion
1x Karn
1x Masticore

Side Board:
2x Duplicant
4x Juggernaut
3x Tormod's Crypt
2x Sphere of Resistance
4x REB

Well, there you have it, thanks for any and all help in advace...

I'm going to be visiting my Dad for the next 2 to 4 weeks and I was wondering if there was any stores in or near South Brunswick NJ that hold weekly Type 1 or if there are any big tournies coming up in that area.

All help is appreciated, thanks.

Guru is by far the best, followed by Unglued. The rest are all so much worse than those two that it doesn't even matter.


What about those anime lands that someone(can't remember who) made?

doesn anyone have the HTML code or javascript or SOME thing so I can put a hit counter on my site. I use notepad to make my sites so, I really only have what I know and what I can find, and for some reason I can't even find a site with a hit counter.

All help is appreciated,

No, like seriously this was a huge problem on the old boards.  It practically killed the tournament forum because of the huge amount of crap posts making it hard to find any of the useful information in there before we restricted access.  And there were way, way fewer people back then.




I came in right after you restricted things on the old boards, and I remember seeing some posts that were almost impossible to comprehend.

I'd just like to thank Zherbus for starting this forum. Ever since the Full Member Community Forum opened I've wanted to participate in some of the conversations that have gone on. So, I would just like to thank Zherbus for allowing us Basic Users a piece of the Community Forum pie.

Again, Thank You.

The best way of shuffling I've found is riffling before every game 5 or 6 times, and pile shuffle maybe 2 or 3 times before a match.

I thought that we were only adding two cards at a time? I took that to mean that you could only add two individual cards, not as many copies as you wanted of up to two cards.


If this is the case then my additions to the deck are right here: 2 x mis-direction(just something random off the top of my head)

Nice thread. It was indeed a good read.

I am currently working on a new type of fish. It will include standstill, some man lands, disruption(in multiple forms), and low costed, quality creatures.

I do not plan on posting a list until after April 24th(the day of Waterbury) but in my tournament report for either it, or CC(I don't know which one I am going to...because I may have a ride to Waterbury and definitely have a ride to CC) I will include a list along with card-by-card analysis.

I've picked up some key staple cards at pre-releases. Bazaars, duals, Forces, and they've all been cheaper than what a localstore would have charged for them...

@smash: How can you say that this is too much like a pokemon card? because it has a coinflip? so what? and I"m sure as we all know...pokemon came after this card, so in reality, pokemon is too much like this card...also...either you have terrible luck...or you are only thinking of the many times in whcih you have been damaged by the card...and not remembering the times you haven't been damaged...in the former...there isnt much you can do...in the latter...well...taking some notes on every time you have to flip for the card is a way to look back at a tourney and see if it was too much of a problem(though I don't think I should have to be telling you this, because I get the feeling you do already)

I am in favor for, and opposed to attempting to monopoly on crypt.

As someone who has easy access to quite a few, and my "healthy" love for money, I say we all just stock up on them and make the prices for them go up and up...

As someone who lacks a majority of the expensive T1 staples(drains, shops, bazaars, and power) and is attempting to acquire these, I don't think it would be fair for the newer players to have to experience the same thing with Crypt...

I picked one up from my friend for 15 and havent regretted it, at the fifth dawn pre-release when I will see more dealers I intend to pick up atleast 3 more...they are about as tradeable as Sol Ring, ever since I got my first one it has been in every deck I've built...and I change decks mroe than...well...than something that changes a lot...I'm hoping that these definetly go up in value, they sure as hell aren't going down anytime soon...

My teammate Andrew(Echo on almost every good T1 site) came up with this format and I had to share it with you guys since there are players here that have been playing longer then we have, you've got to have even funnier old commons and uncommons...

Rather than just re-typing everything Echo typed in our forums I'll just give you the link...

Here's the link

Welcome to TMD,

Great job on the finish...even though proxies were alowed I"m assuming that this build was mostly budgetized because of the comment on lacking workshops and power...I'd be interested if you posted your list...

I wish I could've been there but shit happens(like it usually does with me and power tournies) and I couldn't make it...

I've heard about the TMD chat room a lot since I've been here(a little before Big Z introduced 'Basic User' on old TMD) and I was just wondering what program was used and where it was on that program...I don't do chatrooms much so I don't know much about the different programs...

All help is appreciated,

[-Draz-]

**EDIT**A link to where I can download said program would greatly help also...

When someone says they spilt a mox of some other card, it usually means they sold it back to the store and split the money, or if one of the 2 people who split needs said card, some sort of deal will take place between the splitters where the one gets the card and the other gets about half of what it's worth...

everythign with your build is fine and dandy...but you are running 2 simulacrums and only 4 basic lands...good read, though, I wouldn't call it a primer, maybe an article, mini-primer at best, I'm sorry I come off being too much of a jerk, but primiers usually include a matchup analysis along iwht a few other things,
