Magic: the Gathering - random discussion

[inferiare]

That's the point of me grabbing it. I like old cards. I got lucky and got some older stuff in a value pack from Wal-Mart: a booster pack of a random set (I grabbed one of Alara Reborn too!) and 30 random unsorted cards. I have white border cards, as well as cards from sets as old as Urza's Saga. I think they're really cool. If I had the $450 to drop, I would have gotten the Time Spiral block that the shop was selling (1 booster box of each expansion.) They had Mirage too, but it was more expensive than Weatherlight.

When I tested my blue/green deck, Jace was sadly on the bottom of my deck the entire time. I pulled Nissa and once I did, the game was pretty much over. I got her to her big ability and pulled every single elf on to the field. Even my Llanowar Elves were big 9/9 elves, it was awesome. Had I pulled my Jace, my stuff probably would have been pulled a LOT faster. Blue control spells are so nice though. *_*

Zendikar is one of my favourite blocks right now, though the Eldrazi land cards are damn gorgeous. ...why yes I also collect cards for their art why do you ask.

i prefer the full art zendikar lands. they look awesome. well, most of them. i like new cards, their effects are more interesting, and they are generally less crap. some old cards, for example, 1BB for a 1/1 lifelink. oh and thats a rare. in newer sets, 1/1 lifelink comes as a common fur (W/B) (split mana)

Full art Zendy lands are amazing too. Even better if they're shiny. I really like shiny cards.

I can use older cards for EDH and Legacy decks if I'm so inclined. There's some good old cards too.

[EverPhoenix]

yeah, there definitely are. most are either from urza's, or rares from A/B.

i have a shiny negate, and a shiny lightning bolt. they are pretty

Whoops, gotta correct a mistake: the block they're selling isn't Time Spiral, it's Invasion.

Myself and my boyfriend got an M11 booster box in the mail yesterday, so we ripped it open. I can now make my deck of Traumatize and Wistful Thinkings and call it a day.

Alas though, no Chandras or Jace Belerens, but we did get an Ajani Goldmane to add to the collection of shit I won't trade.
