So I am thinking of trying to both lower the curve and reduce the amount of non-vampire cards here. I know there are some that I am missing such as Blood Artist and Cruel Celebrant . I probably don't want to spend more than $15-20 but I have a habit of exceeding my budget when it comes to M:tG. Knig...

Not really, it seems to play pretty well. It isn't the fastest deck but it can overcome the wrath or two and does some pretty decent damage. I have thought about putting more token generators ( Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin or Assemble the Legion ) but it is fine. The honeymoon period is just over so l...

Hmm, so switching to this build will cost me about $46, and most of that is Monastery Mentor ($12.37) and Rest in Peace ($9.92). It would still be about $23 without them. Hard to say if this will play different enough to warrent the funds. It does look like it would be a lot of fun though. You have ...

Segrus Sorry, didn't mean for it to come off as a complaint, winning more than 25% is more than fine for me. I have a bad habit of not liking to play the same thing for more than a few games. I might see how much it will cost to switch over to your build and if it is less than $15ish might try it o...

Segrus Thank you! I have played about a dozen games with it and I actually have won more than half of them. I either make a friend and then kill everybody else or I flounder around doing a whole lot of nothing. I dropped another $30 and built Edgar Markov, I have been switching between the two and ...

Those of you that know me won't be suprised, but I did a thing... I bought some cards for $21.59. I figure I will play it at least that much (I got the boosters because it was a good deal on original Theros and I want to draft TBD once at least.) Arid Mesa ZEN 1 Battlefield Forge M15 1 Boros Charm G...

I think I will pick up Feather, I am very open to all the things and have thought about paying for a draft and forcing r/w just to get some newer stuff. Most of what I have I got for free or from the Modern Horizons draft I did. Wish I could grab Antis' list, grumble grumble. I just picked up: The B...

So I go back and forth with MTGO but I don't really want to spend a lot of money on it. I play almost exclusively on Arena as I like the interface a lot more but it doesn't have the card pool and 1v1 isn't my favorite way to play either. I have this built, but it really needs some upgrades. I would ...

So I didn't want to reply too early as that might be a thing, but I think the 7 cmc makes it a little closer than it might appear. I do think that Akroma's Memorial still wins because Concordant Crossroads effects all creatures so you are likely using it to combo kill out of no where, maybe? What ab...

You've just posted two of these very similar topics, and I think my opinion is roughly the same - it's hard to know precisely what's happening without firsthand experience. Especially since you've done it twice, for me it tilts the "who's is the wrong" meter a little towards me thinking m...

So if you would indulge me, what "morally gray" plays have you seen? I am not talking about the guy that draws 2 cards when people aren't looking or the new player that asks for a take-back every turn, but some real head scratchers. Situations that felt off, but maybe not wrong enough to m...

Awesome examples Dunharrow. When I first got married my wife got really upset if I would steal from her in Catan or Shock her Llanowar Elves . Even when we were playing 1v1. When we were stationed in WA we would play at a place that gave prize support to the top 4, usually it was T2 (standard) but o...

So I kind of think these cards (the very efficient Veil of Summer or powerful Blood Moon ) fit in the same catagory as Duress / Counterspell . I have played them before when I felt that I needed to compete at that level. There have been times when different play groups were higher powered (but not r...

Kiora, the Crashing Wave. I like the -1 better and the emblem gives eventuality.

Victory's Herald or Akroma's Memorial?

I currently do not have a play group, but I have had several that included significant others, brothers, etc. and that added a level of board complexity. How do you handle the "I would attack my spouse as s/he is the biggest threat, but instead I'll attack you so I am not in the dog house"...

Sorry, I am sure you had hoped to be rid of me, lol

Hello All So I thought I would introduce myself. I have been playing MtG since 1997 and EDH since 2009. I recently moved to Florida with my wife and four kids. I get bored of decks quickly, but have not been able to play much recently. I am working on my MEd - Instructional Design currently about h...
