Marcie and Jon Talk Magic

[MC74]

Okie dokie

Though I can't guarantee I'll be much help in setting up game nights. I'm not exactly a social butterfly.

No worries, you just keep being you and sharing your joy about Magic and other TCGs and all is good, and I'll add Jon here with you so you have someone to collab with

Always, hon. Also, you're more than welcome to join us. Be one of us, Crystal. One of us!

 

[Jon]

I'm always here, always

I'm thinking about posting one of my deck builds here. I have one posted on another one of Crystal's forums, so I can copy it over, but it's something to help encourage discussion, I suppose.

Oh we should find a way to have Ben or Lee let us incorporate Archidekt or Moxfield or something like that so that deck posting looks clean

Would love to have a feature that shows the cards upon hovering over the names. That'd be sick.

That's what I'm aiming to see anyway

 

[Jon]

Let me test it here...

 

[Jon]

Ok, so that works. Just need to fiddle with some of the iframe settings so that it's not totally cut off, but that does work.

 

[MC74]

I pulled Sauron The Dark Lord and The One Ring. I'm thinking of building a commander deck with him.

 

[TD]

I expected to see talk about David Copperfield - but this works too.

So much of what I'm seeing here makes me realize how long I've been removed from MtG.

Now excuse me while I live in the memories of my Icy Manipulator+Royal Assassin combo.

We should game sometime if you're up for it!

I would give it a try but I wouldn't even know where to start, maybe it's like riding a bike - would have to wait until next year since December is a mess for me.

No rush, man, and if you ever need any help with the game, I'm more than happy to help!

What do you play? Is it Arena? Just so I can mentally prepare myself for pain.

I have a sneaking suspicion I don't know what any of the decks are going to be.

Arena.

 

[TD]

Arena.

Nothing says preparing for 2025 like going back 25 years in my life

 

[MC74]

I'm so excited for this! ^^

 

[TD]

So  apparently I've played this and don't remember at all?

I have an existing account. I signed in and got like 30 million pop ups about like banned cards and all this.

I have a bunch of decks and don't know what is default and what I made, I guess I have some currency too?

 

[MC74]

Don't forget to redeem the free packs from your inbox! Lots of goodies to go around!

 

[Crystal]

You can add me, too (as can anyone!) in Arena, I'll find my username when I get home, I make a good training dummy! I'm useless, lol.

 

[Jon]

I pulled Sauron The Dark Lord and The One Ring. I'm thinking of building a commander deck with him.

That Sauron is absolutely devastating. He's almost impossible to remove and super powerful. It's nuts.

I've pulled a total of 4 one rings. I only have one remaining, sold the others.

 

[MC74]

Just a heads up, you will want to redeem those packs before tomorrow and the 17th respectively. You don't want to lose out on the free packs, especially that you get wildcards after every so many packs. You will need them to craft cards.

I need to add you on Arena too. We gotta get a game in!

 

[TD]

How would I do that?

Is that the thing in the top right with the #27?

I'm such a noob also omg everything is so tiny on mobile, do you all play on mobile?

 

[Jon]

I need to add you on Arena too. We gotta get a game in!

For sure! I don't spend much there so no super cool decks and I haven't logged in since bloomburrow lol. But for sure!

 

[TD]

I have over 90 packs to open - dating back to 2021!?



I am ready to be overwhelmed.

It's that gambler's spirit! "JUST ONE MORE AND I'LL GET SOMETHING COOL!"

I can't wait for Aetherdrift.... though I may just be alone in that lol

Make sure to post those pulls!

Whenever you're up for a game, gimme a shout. I'm always down a game.

 

[TD]

I'm trying to decide if I should methodically open each pack and see what there is or just rip it all open and sort the chaos out later.

 

[TD]

Make sure to post those pulls!

Are there certain packs you are particularly interested in?

I have no idea what good cards even are now.

 

[MC74]

Methodically, the way packs are meant to be open. That way, it's more of a surprise when you get a good pull!

 

[TD]

ME: HEY I GOT A FOREST WITH A COOL ART DESIGN.

 

[MC74]

Are there certain packs you are particularly interested in?

You'll know them. The ones with the Mythic Rares will have a reddish orange set logo.

 

[TD]

Like this?

 

[MC74]

Yep!

 

[TD]

Spoiler: Here be the Mythic Rares

Got a bunch of Wildcards too.

 

[Crystal]

That's me if you want to beat me up!

 

[Jon]

I am certainly a methodical opener lol

 

[Crystal]

I went through all however many packs and just pasted them into Discord for Marcie to stare at, lol...

 

[MC74]

KN74#47188 is my gamer tag.

 

[MC74]

Just had a quick round with Crystal. It was nice playing the ole' mono red burn deck again.

Did @Crystal enjoy it is the question?

 

[MC74]

Yes, she did.

 

[MC74]

You remember when I mentioned that I played the High Tide deck against her, right?

Well, before I untapped my all lands with a certain card, I cracked a cheesy pun as I played the card.

"As I always like to say in times like these, Turnabout is fair play. "

 

[Crystal]

Did @Crystal enjoy it is the question?

I only dumbed once and got to play without too much of a railroading, so yeah, it was fun! Looking forward to more later tonight
