Wow, you guys were not joking about the ending credits music. Pretty sure they took their cue from the Black Ops 2 credits montage.

Holy crap, my first sealed pool is a pile of hot garbage. I made better decks in middle school off of all the stuff that some guy gave me for a dollar.

It's REAL bad. Not enough creatures to run less than 3 colors, a ton of staffs in useless colors for my uncommons, and 1 terromorphic expanse as the only mana fixing.

Hey, someone link that article by a random guy who says that 2 blue cards that aren't in the game are better than browbeat again.

So, I think there's a glitch with the promo unlocks. Ever since I entered the 5 promo codes, all the decks have been unlocking a few (not always the same number) cards without me doing anything every time I start up the game. I had 29/35 last time I checked on the sliver deck, and had never won a match with it. Now everything is unlocked for every deck, which I guess is nice.

It sucked really hard earlier when I did random deck and most of them were suddenly really lovely 100 card piles.

Anyone (Karma and Nehru I'm looking at you) want to play some 2HG tonight? I'll be on from about 530 EST onwards. On XBOX.

If I can get my xbox working online again, I'll be on later.

Yeah, I've been moving and setting up internet was not a priority compared to furniture and job poo poo. On now though, and later tonight. It's bridged through my computer, so hopefully it'll work well enough.

:lol: So somehow Stainless actively broke twincast this year. Just twincasted a Dream Fracture that was targeting my inbound creature, targeted the Dream Fracture, then it countered my creature anyway, and drew both of us 2 cards. :psyduck:

Condemn effectively kills it, and Unsummon does a pretty good job of slowing it down. It's really good though.

Everyone on 360 who already has M2013 on the 360 should go back and play it now. Played 7 games last night, not a single deck under 90 cards to be seen. It's loving hilarious.

It's not shocking, Izzit has been the best deck the last 2 years as well. ;)

That's a funny pronunciation of Crosswinds there.

If you're going to run the Elf deck, DO NOT run Ambush Commander, unless you want me to destroy all of your permanents instantly.

This is the one time it's perfectly acceptable to rage quit at 31 life. Also, this is why Izzet is the best deck.

So Stolen Goods is straight up nonfunctional on XBox at least. I've played it 5 times now in both multi player and single player, and haven't been able to actually play the exiled card once. It's a cool card, too bad it only works as a lovely mill effect for 4 CMC.

Medicinal Penguin

1) You only get the ability once, replicate makes copies of the spell, but they are not cast, so it doesn't trigger again for each.

2)It resolves, but the damage is prevented. It would trigger anyway though, the ability works on casting, not resolution. These abilities work even if the spell is countered.

Stolen Goods is broken in multi. I've never seen it work outside single player.

Cut it.

Hah. You didn't believe me when I told you this a couple weeks ago. Because for whatever reason it works fine against the AI.

That's mostly because it's such a fun card, I didn't want it to be true.

I know, I really wanted it to work too. And it always exiles such a good card that you can't play too...

I love how WotC refuses to announce release dates for any of their stuff until a day before it's out.

Is there any reason to pick up these decks if I'm perfectly happy with Dodge & Burn? Do they feel comparably powerful and/or decision-intensive?

Not comparably powerful, but the white deck at least has some decision making instead of tribal turn poo poo sideways all day.

Last year, the soundtrack was just hidden in the install folder somewhere, it's not an in game thing. The foils I don't know about, it's possible they're already unlocked and you have foils turned off in options.

As for the red deck, it's REALLY bad until you unlock a bunch of stuff. The green deck should be able to just spam large creatures enough to beat down black, but both of them are a bad matchup.

E: What's this faerie deck thing? Are there decklists for the next expansion already?

Artifacts looks interesting, and that green deck looks like fun to gently caress around with the AI. Dolmen Gate plus an aggro deck looks pretty loving ridiculous in the current meta.

It's more interesting to know they have these done months before, and they just half-rear end announcing release dates. I always just assumed some intern was knocking these out the week of release or something.

Medicinal Penguin

Yes, but in real magic you can also pestermite that land during upkeep after untap, then the mana won't carry over into the main phase anyway.

I'm sure they'll let us in on all the details including release date about 20 seconds before the game comes out.

I'm trying out the modded decks now, it's pretty sweet. Artifact Affinity decks are just as hilariously broken as I remember.
