>building?
R/W mana denial deck with 16 3CMC land destruction spells, Lodestone Golem and Windborn Muse.

>playing?
I have 28 decks and I like to switch them around. At the moment my favorites are R/B Kamigawa Spirits (pic related), G/W lifegain deck that abuses Ageless Entity and Phyrexian Processor with Armadillo Cloak and its variants and the always classic U/R Urzatron.

>meta?
I've got a playgroup of 5-6 friends, the strongest decks are Elves and maybe Goblin Welder, but mostly the games are laid-back and fun. We don't spend a lot of money on the game (well, one of us owns a whole bunch of Revised duals but he doesn't use them in a good deck) and focus on multiplayer.

>house rules?
You get to mulligan to seven cards as many times as you like. Nobody has abused this rule.

>>47310400
Looks fun! I think Vampire Nighthawk needs to be in there though. I've got a Vampire deck myself but that's monoblack and uses a lot of hand disruption (Hymn to Tourach, Distress) and Vampire lords like Nocturnus and Bloodlord of Vaasgoth.

After 8 months of just doing prereleases (played too much comp.rel. last year, kinda burned out and lost the fun in it) I found MTG again, after couple of my GFs friends started playing. They are super casual, and after starting to feel like total dick playing against them with modern 8rack and Bogles I decided to make couple of fun semi-pauper decks.

U/B-mill. Pauper mill as a base, chucked delvers out and put consuming aberrations in. Gotta try that deck out couple of times, might tweak manabase with some more slow duals and throw Brainstorms in just for giggles. Never get to play that card, seeing my legacy-deck taking forever to build.

Second, W/x-ally tribal. Time to get those fullart promo Hada Freeblades out. Im going to keep close eye on powerlevel here, its easy to go overboard. But im gonna throw shocks and fetches in here.

Trying to throw together some kind of silly combo deck. Maybe couple, as there are so much silly combos around. Prolly going to head for some blue shenanigans involving auramancers and counterspells...

Also, pic related would be hilarious to pull off.

>>What I'm building
U/R izzet Burntrol + some random shenanigans (Ral Zarek, Fiery Gambit, etc) thrown in for fun. Luckily my group doesn't mind using proxies for expensive cards because fuck paying $70+ for snap caster mages (yes I know they're OP)
>>What I'm playing
Either switch around decks with mates or play my own Theros+Abzan Self-sacrifice Drain deck. Managed to break the game one session when Athreos' passive interacted with Flip Liliana's -8
>>What group(s) play
Two separate groups of friends to play with, group 1 plays pretty much anything, group 2 (main play group) plays W/B Innistrad zombie spam + westvale abbey, mono B control, W/R Angels, B/G elves (cancer), mono R burn as well as EDH (I don't play that)
>>House rules
Generally 1 free mulligan, depending on opponent.

>>
>>47310259
>What are you building?
I've been reworying my G/W Elephant deck with some more utility cards. Secon Harvest is bananas combined with Parallel lives.

I'm also building a deck based around tricking out Emrakul, as I got a foil one, and my old idea for Ally Mill which I'm looking at again.

>What are you playing?
Red Burn Tricks and Izzet spell trickers

>What is your current group's meta like?
My friend A has a wide variety of decks that are quite powerful and balanced. He's a good metric to go by for me, if I can hold my own sometimes, it's a good deck.
My friend D has a few decks, and they all fucking suck. But he's good fun.
My other friends don't meet with us much, but their decks are also usually pretty good. It's a fun group, apart from the A players his semi-affinity or mill decks.

Bant Walls, U/B Zombies and a Pauper Faerie deck which I also use casually.
Occasionally I use one of my more competitive Modern/Legacy decks if I feel like being a dick.

>What is your current group's meta like?
Friend A - Mono-Black Vampires, R/G Werewolves, Mono-G Hydras
Friend A's mom - Mono-white Angels
Friend B - Simic +1/+1 shenanigans, Izzet artifacts
Friend C - A very mediocre Naya deck based on bolster/prowess and +1/+1 counters
Friend D - some Izzet starter deck which he's slowly modifying, I gave him sets of Delver + Kiln Fiend.

Myself or Friend A win most of the free-for-alls.
A lot of the time we end up doing 2-headed Giant (we usually call it Double Dragon) since friend D and the mom are only occasional players.

Order 4x doom blade since your group is casual. They should only cost 30ยข~ each. Also "Go for the throat" is better, though if the $2.50 price tag scares you off I think another two copies of grasp of darkness would be good.

Just dropped off a big box of old cards my 12-14 year old self collected to a son of a buddy o' mine. Was just collecting dust 'round here, and I hadn't done anything or cared enough to sell 'em in ages. And now the new generation is here, heck he was even proudly telling me about the 30 year old try-hards he managed to beat. Proud af.

Still got a bit of a sour feeling about it though, 'cause searching through 'em with him I noticed it was over a few hundred quid. Nontheless, it was worth it to see his face light up.

Any other guys here gifted there old stuff to a newbie?

>Building
BUG ramp. Deciding how much money I want to put into the land, and figuring out how to get blue in there. I ramp want to ramp into Reaper of the Wilds, Terrastomper, Phyrexian Ingestor, and Sheoldred. Also using gorgon planeswalker, and debating adding more gorgon for fun.
Also RW angels. Play the artifacts from Beseiged and New Phyrexia that draw/fetch a land when they enter play or are destroyed, use Shrapnel Blast, Angelicwhatever (the SoI sac spell), and Emancipation Angel. Day of Judgement for control, and combo with Twilight Shepherd. Other big angel is the red SoI angel that hurts played whenever they hurt me. Blanking on names today.

>Playing
I have 24 decks, most of them technically modern, but definitely casual tier. My best are probably my RW midrange, my aggro elves that use Nissa and black for removal, and my BW lifedrain deck.
>Meta
Is it the guy playing Eldrazi? No? Then any of my decks probably win 50-90% of the time. Many of my decks have been refined for casual over a decade.

In that case, I recommend 93/94. If you go by Eternal Central rules, you can use Revised -- and suddenly the format can get quite cheap, as long as you aren't trying to win tournaments.

>>47317914
I'd do that, but I don't know anyone who would be willing to. I guess EDH is close enough and I do have a good EDH control list, but I love 60 card decks. Oh well, let's hope Eldritch Moon prints some good white spot removal.

>What are you building?
W/R artifacts for edh. Sunforger shenanigans and that darrieti precon mixed with whatever angles I have lying around. Hopefully it'll be fun.

>What are you playing?
Mimeoplasm targeted self-mill and mana ramp with giant fatties. I don't know how well it'll work, but we'll see.

>What's your current group's meta like?
Friend A: A judge. He runs that blue teferi precon with one single card changed. I don't know which one, but he always manages to lorthos me at the worst fucking times.

Friend B: Runs a lot of high tempo stuff. Loves tokens almost as much as he loves removal. He has a mardu beatdown, a mono-white anafenza solider tribal, and a Trostani populate. His mono-white anafenza sets the bar, he generally loves a strong early game and a consistent strategy.

Me: I love fatties, artifacts, and evasion. I live and die by the mana-ramp. I generally prefer targeted hand destruction and creature-based removal, but I'm working on branching out. I run a Xenagos stomper that can easily swing with for 9 30/30s, a kruphix eldrazi colourless mana dump, and a retired Geth artifact deck. I'm probably the weakest player by virtue of drawing the most aggro and having the slowest early game, but when things get going I win pretty frequently.

Mind giving me some suggestions/guidelines then? for said reanimator deck.
>>
>>47324885
animate dead and exhume are cheap, good reanimator spells to start with. Other than that its up to you how you want to get stuff into the graveyard, blue has plenty of ways to let you draw and discard cards and there are black spells like buried alive that let you take stuff right out of your deck and put them in your graveyard.

I'm trying to build a mono white goat deck.
It has to be on theme so I'm running the whole kithkin package:
-4 Springjack Pasture
-4 Springjack Shepherd
-4 Kithkin Harbinger
-4 Knight of Meadowgrain for devotion and early game protection.

I'm also running Anthem effects to make the goats useful, 3 momentary blinks and 2 flickerwisps for value and 7 soul sisters.

The win conditions are:
-2 Mirror Entity because they can be tutored
-2 Nobilis of War obviously
-2 Marshal's Anthem
-1 Felidar Sovereign because I want to win with him for once in my life.

Any advice? I'm sure I'm missing some obvious synergy with tons of useless tokens.

>>
>>47326023
The recommended mix is 3xKhans/3xFate or 2xFate/4xDragon.
>>
>>47325482
If you want to win with sovereign go grab a few of those 1 mana white sorcwries that give you 5 life. And a few copies of "Lifelink" or "Armadillo cloak".
>>
>>47326116
spells that just gain life are trash and so is "lifelink" because it doesn't really add anything to the creature its enchanting. Armadillo cloak is pretty decent as far as life gaining auras go Gift of Orzhova is also worth considering if you want to go down that route.
>>
>>47326378
What other white and/or black cards will boost your life total to ridiculous levels early on in order to have a CHANCE of winning with felidar sovereign?
>>
>>47326781
Have you considered cards like Soul Warden and Lingering Souls?
>>
>>47326781
the problem with cards like that is that they dont affect the board in any way. If you want to win with cards like sovereign or test of endurance is to play the long game with board wipes and other control cards, or go pure soul sisters lifegain like >>47326865 recommends.

Personally I think the need card tainted remedy is better than rain of gore even in a red deck where the two color cost doesn't matter

Tainted remedy costs 3 mana instead of 2 but crucially, tainted remedy applies to lifelink and rain of gore does not

Lifelink is one of the most powerful and common kinds of lifegain so I think it's important if you run that kind of effect to catch lifelink

Depends on how competitive you want your list to be. I personally won't run CMC 3 spells in a burn list if I can help it. I think you'll lose far more games to needing that third land than you will to lifelink.

>>47333005
Because the format was starter by rich, elitist Swedes. Their version of the format prohibits Revised and Fallen Empires basically because the print runs were too large and there is no pimp factor in playing those cards.

ChannelFireball and Eternal Central both have more inclusive format definitions that include Revised and FE, because... they existed in 1994. Fancy that.

>>47339424
at first glance you dont need that many fancy lands you could do without glimmervoid and vesuva. Vorinclex and Ulamog are pretty meh reanimation targets

I have a open slot in a W/B deck that I wanna throw a big white creature in. Here are my 3 candidates. My concerns with the cards are as follows:
>Felidar sovereign
Deck is lacking lifeline and only pings for 1 or 2 life gain at a time. It Would also have the highest base power in my deck.
>Sentinel of the Eternal watch
Great creature, but would draw hella aggro from the other players with the annoying passive tap ability.
>Serra Angel
Self explanatory. A flying creature that can decide games as long as nobody is running creature removal.

One big problem is that one player has 3x control magic in his deck and I have 4x grasp of darkness in mine. If he takes control of Serra angel I can easily remove it, the other two would be a bit tougher.
>>
>>47340069
gonna need to see the deck before i can really recommend what to put in it
>>
> want to make u/b zombies
> realize I barely have any zombies and the zombies I do have are shit
>>
>>47340143
It's a W/B flying vigilance deck. The mana curve is about 2.8 and I have some 0/6 walls in there for land defense. Would post the deck but it's already shuffled, and I don't want to organize it all out for one card reccomendation, no offense.
>>
Best block for a casual cube?
>>
>>47340337
Zendikar+magic origins.
>>
>>47340230
Serra angel sounds like it would fit best it keeps your curve low and fits the theme
>>
>>47340230
have you considered teysa?

Any thoughts or suggestions would br welcomed as this is my first attempt at brewing my own deck
>>
>>47341384
ditch dark ritual. outside of pure combo decks its card disadvantage early game and just a terrible draw late game

>Building
Nothing at the moment. Can't think of any good ideas.
>Playing
Junk Tokens/Life gain with Trostani and Ajani Goldmane, or Devastating Summons, because sacrificing all of my lands, dropping a bushwhacker, and attacking with a board full of hasty tokens is always fun.
>Meta
One dude plays tribal vampires, another plays a swampwalk deck.
>>
>>47340069
I'd still go with the sentinel. Why? Because passively tapping every opponent's most dangerous creature (especially in 3+ player games, which you allude to play often) is such a massive advantage compared to the other two. Also, it would be easy to smack her with a grasp of darkness+Any creature with power at or above 2 if she gets stolen.
>>
>>47341384
No dual lands?

What do your groups think about using un-set cards, when they're actually not that jokey/broken, approve or dissapprove?
If not, any cards you wish your group would let you use?

Thinking of adding pic related to one of my EDH-decks I use in casual Planechase.
>>
>>47343008
My group seems against it for some reason. I don't really understand it. The card you posted seems perfectly fine. No goofy requirements, no dexterity based mechanics. The only reason it's in an un-set is because of the implied monkey fucking.

>building
budget decks for beginners/ players who are looking to expand their deck collection (for lack of a better term) currently mono blue tempo at the moment. mainly focused on ruining opponents tempo with memory lapse. not sure if i want to make it super control heavy (faeries) or more casual friendly (newbies tend to hate blue)

>playing
my own version of a faerie/tempo control deck.

u/r burn/prowess

jund 2 for ones feat. sin prodder

r/w "zoo" (its an aggro deck i put together based off of some zoo decks, call it zoo in the group so it doesnt get confused with other peoples w/r aggro decks)

b/w/g rock. early disruption is replaced with living wish and cards that allow the deck to run smoothly. wish for a whatever bomb fits the board state (we use tourney rules with wish cards)

mono black vampires

>meta
player A: G/W stompy, mono white ETB effects, U/B/W stoneblade
player B: rock, rock, rock, madness
player C: phasing, suspend, board wipe deck, actual zoo, psychatog, r/w angels, mono blue tempo
player D: r/b sac abuse, reanimator, g/u control
player E: delver, mono G beasts, boggles
player F: stifle-naught, werewolves, white cat/equiptment
player G: mono white pillow fort, mono green stompy, tooth and nail, mono B zombies, g/w renown

its very diverse. we only really discourage using completely busted combos. the only cards that ruffle jimmies are progenitus and mass discard. wouldnt trade the diverse meta for the world. i love it.

pic also related. we all love alters.

If you're playing a deck with a good number of apes in it that ape gets to be quite powerful. Let's say you have 3 apes on the field before you summon him. If all 4 survive you can tap them all for 2 apes, then tap those two apes for another ape. Now with your 7 apes you can tap 6 for 3 apes, then tap 4 for 2, and then tap those two for one more. In just two turns you've turned a field of four apes into a field of 4 apes into 13 apes, and the numbers just go up from there.

>>47343225
It's an 8CMC creature. There's far more broken cards out there.
>>
>>47343249
True. But it's also got the horrid art and it's illegal in every format.
>>
>>47343259
This is a casual thread, format shouldn't enter into it. The question was whether anyone's play group has a problem with un-set cards that aren't particularly goofy or broken.
>>
Did anyone say broken un-cards?
Protip, it works with Planeswalkers
>>
>>47343488
Oh my. That is indeed overpowered, if you can actually afford planeswalkers.

>What are you building?
Currently reworking my Werewolf deck to put in the Shadows Over Innistrad stuff.

Player A: BU Mill, Temur Aggro, GW Ramp
Player B: Red Deck Wins, Mono B Aggro, GR Infect
Player C: Mono Black Vamps, UR Burn/Mill
Me: GR Werewolves, Temur Aggro, BW Tokens, Naya Slivers, BR Hand Control, GU Turbofog, Mono Green Stomp

>>47343698
Uhh. There are plenty dirt cheap planeswalkers who'd be hilariously broken if their ults INCREASED loyalty. Tibalt, the Field-blooded; Ajani, Caller of the Pride; Jace Beleren?

So my little brother and I just broke open a couple of old Theros prerelease packs and decided to play sealed with what we got.

Holy fuck, this is the most fun I've had with this game in years. Got some neat stuff like the god weapons and a Purphoros, and we each have a 40 card deck that give some super fun games

Is this a thing people usually do?

Have you seen the squirrel polymorph modern deck? It works by making a bunch of squirrel tokens with no creatures cards in deck except emy and uses polymorph on one of them.

>>47347575
build a cube, m80. recently got into it and it's the most fun and pure piece of MtG i've played since i've started, not counting the utter beggining, when my group thought equipments counted as auras, or differented between remove from the game and exile for some reason, or when we never learned how to use Fireball properly
i discovered it. some weeks ago. after six years of playing magic, our retarded bunch of about 8 people never thought of reading the damn card we use so fucking often, we just rolled with wrong use

Bombs make for a fun limited experience. As long as they are in YOUR pool.

>>47334014
New Sorin is great for Commander. Other than that B/W lifegain/lifedrain control with pic related and Divinity of Pride would work pretty well.

>>47329949
>>47329997
Alms of the Veins is also an extraordinary card to use in Burn, specially if you have discard outlets, which you can easily include in BR. Also Blightning is a thing. Honestly I'd splash Blue too for Delver, Snapcaster and Treasure Cruise. Grixis burn best burn.

>>47340069
>>47340230
I get the feeling you haven't been playing magic for too long, haven't you?, There are far, far better things you could play in a deck like that.

>>47341384
Get Relentless Undead and a few Diregraf Colossus. If you want blue in the deck Diregraf Captain and maybe Geralf's Masterpiece are good picks. If not, Death Baron.

That's not really a problem for me.
As it's Casual, I can use busted bullshit like Pattern of Rebirth and go searching for whatever Eldrazi I want.

Add in stuff like Cryptic Gateway and Summoning Trap, and I'm in the black.
>>
>>47350465
And that's why we do M14 and not a different core set.
>>
Should I sell it, or hold on to it?
I'm not exactly poor, but do you guys think it will increase or decrease in value, over time?
>>
>>47352419
If you're worried about accumulating value, sell the thing and invest the cash. If you wait a few years you might get $10 more for it. Not really worth it unless you simply aren't playing with it.
