Make one of these days today.

[Scaraban]

I've never actually seen it. That's been on my "one of these days" list.

My list as well.

[Tellemurius]

Do i need to do another LS of Pulp Fiction?

[JoshuaFH]

I'm happy about the newest set in MTG: New Phyrexia.

It's like, I'm always "OH Wizards, you're so bullshit, but I'm sure you can't get any worse." And then every set goes on to prove me wrong. Every single time. It's amazing, and I love it.

Also, while I'm not purchasing any more magic cards, as it's basically money sunk into a hobby that I scarcely indulge in, my friend was nice enough to give me three Glistener Elves. Green infect 1/1 drops for a single G? Yes please.

Don't worry, that only makes sense to MTG fans.

[Ochita]

Let me get my illegal cards... (Old cards that aren't accepted in tournaments.)

Oh, a sliver deck, cool. I remember this deck.

Heh. Memories.

[JoshuaFH]

They're not 'illegal' per se, just type 1. Completely tournament legal would be type 2, which at the moment is everything extending back to Zendikar IIRC.

It's perfectly acceptable to play type 1 with your friends, and there are even some other types of tournaments where basically everything goes.

[Owlga]

It's perfectly acceptable to play type 1 with your friends

That comes off as possibly the worst way to put it ever. I don't know anyone who gave a damn about the types that weren't wanna be tournament junkies. And it could be argued the actual tournament players simply just aren't playing the same game anymore.

Long story short trying to play any of the types unless you have more money than sense is just stupid.

Edit: Dammit. I forgot to switch Olgas cookies out. This is actually Janet

[Cthulhu]

You're eating Owlga's fresh-baked cookies!  D:

And yeah, when I played Magic I didn't even know what the hell Types were.  Me and my brother just said fuck the world and played 200+ card all-color decks.

[Darvi]

Mmmmhhh, there's nothing better for a midnight snack than some pita.

Except maybe pita stuffed with gyros.


E: DID I HEAR COOKIES? :3

[Leafsnail]

I'm guessing quite a lot of the cards are banned to stop specific tactics/ combinations and ways of abusing them.  So they wouldn't cause too much problem mixed into a casual deck, but abused to hell in a custom tournament deck they could wreak havoc.  Or something.

So uh... yeah, it's probably ok to leave cards unbanned as long as you avoid being a dick with them.

[Gunner-Chan]

The best casual rules are just agreeing not to do exploits your friends don't like. I had a couple of friends that hated my tinker deck so I wouldn't play against them with it. And I had a friend or two that didn't understand banding at all so I never used my banding deck against them. Similarly I had a friend who I asked not to use his stasis deck on me since I felt it was a boring deck to play against.

[Vector]

I CANT HELP MYSELF.

I just wanted to say that I adore your avatar.

[Scaraban]

It's so cuddly and OHGODMYFACE!

[Darvi]

I jus' removed a tick from my dog's head.

He's the only living being I really care about.
