Introducing M10!




It looks like "11th Edition" will be released this summer.  But with a twist!  They are doing new editions every year and changing the name.  It will be called Magic: The Gathering 2010 Core Set!  M10 for short!  Read http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/feature/27a for more info!  Oh yes, new cards in core set too.

Death of a Gobrin - NOMS!!

In the spirit of Role-Reversal week, I will be attempting to create a tokenesque deck to match those of Kevin's. The premise is very simple, create gobrin tokens, then have big dragons munch on their brains for extra power.

Noms

Main Deck

60 cards

7x Mountain
7x Swamp
3x Graven Cairns
3x Auntie's Hovel

20 lands
4x Voracious Dragon
4x Predator Dragon
3x Knucklebone Witch
3x Frogtosser Banneret
3x Siege-Gang Commander
4x Boggart Harbinger
3x Chandra Nalaar

24 creatures
4x Armillary Sphere
4x Rise of the Hobgoblins
4x Dragon Fodder
4x Boggart Shenanigans

16 other spells


Will post update on it's effectiveness after some test runs.

Update: Tossed out all the champion goblins and all green from the deck. This new list is much more focused on getting goblin tokens which my Voracious and Predator dragons happily enjoy. It's damage potential is very high and can occur quicker than most people might expect, but often leaves me top-decking to win against a whole table.

Role-Reversal - Master Transmuter

I will be taking Nus' slot this week by making an all artifact deck.  Channelling Arificier Nus:


I will follow up with post-game analysis after this weekend.

Only played one game with the deck and was mana screwed.  Although the combo seems to work.  Before Nusret smashed my face in; I got him down to 4 life when he was at 24. :)

UPDATE:  A bit more playing.  Deck is very good in a 3-way environment.  With haste Master Transmuter becomes quite hard to get rid of since it has a self bounce.  Group was having trouble attacking effectively due to the "Phantom Blocker" technique.  

5 Color Foot Long



Very very simple deck.  Step 1: Get WUBRG.  Step 2: Drop overly powered WUBRG card.  Step 3: Commence beating.   

1 Game, 1 Victory.  The All-Star card was Obelisk of Alara.  It is way too good. :)

MTGT Poster Completed!

Ok work on this has completed.

it will allow you to autocard things using the following notation:
[c]Card Name[/c] in your post. First create you post with that notation. Paste the post into the Post Editor and hit replace. This will replace all the tags with hyperlinks. Once this is done you can post it, and you will have links like the dark rit links below:
Dark Ritual


The table generator works by feeding it an MWS deck. Once this is done you hit preview, and the table will be previewed for you. You can copy the table into your posts as needed afterwards. You'll find the table under the HTML code tab.
