What is the best Magic set and why?
Pretty much anything from Innistrad. Fucking love those sets.
toss up between Mirage and Tempest for me
>>705425533
Lorwyn, Morningtide. Sick Green/Black elf decks were made
I loved the first mirrodin and ravnica
>>705425533
Obviously ravnica
Homelands for sure.
innistrad anything
Scars of Mirrodin or New Phyrexia despite infect; phyrexian mana is the best thing since disposable diapers.
Unglued
>>705426907
Shadows. Sucked.
The Alara block was bae!
>>705427021
Hate infect with a passion
Fucking cheat damage
New Phyrexia lol
>>705425533
Always been a fan of Darksteel.
Kaladesh, cause hype and new universe, insane chandra, gearhulks, vehicles, and masterpieces
>inb4 newfag
>>705427244
agreed
Khans, triple k draft just had something that recent sets fail to bring
>>705425533
return to ravnica
>>705425533
kamigava ofk
more fun and otk decks with doggy 2/2 legendary
>>705427244
Yea. Fucking I know. One of my modern testing partners basically plays it exclusively.
>>705427090
>>705427087
agreed
M12 and m11 was pretty pimping
>>705428234
I'll have to vote Kamigawa, too.
Was underpowered back in the day, but ended up with a fair share of ban-worthy cards.
>>705425533
Mirrodin sets, infect is savage
>>705428428
lol i have those. tried to use it in a game once and my friend was like "dude what the fuck is that"
>>705425533
Scourge, because storm.
>>705426580
>>705426651
How the fuck did three retarded faggots sneak in before Ravnica was mentioned?
>>705425533
Is this some variation of modern elfs?
>>705429075
heh too slow bro
>>705429274
Most cards look to be
Nissa Revane Ears Of The Elves Duels Of The Planeswalkers Intro Deck.
I got this deck a few years ago for 20 bucks. It also came with a M10 booster. It was a great find. Really rare now though
>>705425533
I want to say Lorwyn because planeswalkers....
>>705425533
More?
>>705425533
Alpha, of course.
Starting MTG after a 4 year break with the release of this new set.
>>705425533
Ravnica 100% Ravnica
Just feels like it has so much more depth
>>705428743
>scourge
mah nigga. First booster I bought was from Scourge when I was like 13 years old. Had a Stifle in it. The whole Onslaught block was so fucking cool.
Especially when the mana started getting weird, wizards started becoming morph creatures and turning into ectoplasm, clandestine wizards cloning slivers to join in the war between Akroma and Phage without knowledge of slivers powers. Mechanically, the tribal set was rad. Lots of very powerful and unique cards, from Scornful Egotist which doesn't make any sense at first glance to Karona, False God.
Fucking awesome set. Fucking awesome block.
RIP Otaria.
Anyone saying any set other than Ravnica is objectively wrong
unhinged
none of you brownoes are allowed to say otherwise
>>705425533
>"A beauty made more so by its fleeting visitations"
Mirage
>>705432213
Ravnica is cool but
>modern borders
>>705427869
Kaladesh is fucking awesome, the prerelease was the most fun I've had playing magic
Back when I was a really big newfag to mtg, I got this card from a booster. I had a small group and they came to fear this. I felt like a fucking god whenever this got into my hand.
Post your game changer card.
>>705425533
Mirrodin, because metal kitty titties
eventide second for flavor
From a mechanics point of view, I've loved playing standard or draft in ravnica, return to ravnica. From an "awesome cards" point of view, I love zendikar, the llorwyn block (specially its art and style) and the original innistrad.
>>705433145
>AHAHAHAHAHHAHAAA
The only people that play magic are the greasy nerds who sit alone at lunch
>>705432813
Friday midnight I was too drunk and dropped after the first round because I was "too loud" and "disturbing the other patrons."
Sunday I went 0-4 because I'm an idiot and completely misread my pool. But me and my friend Tim played the 2hg game later, and we came second. Pulled nothing of relevance except for a handful of fastlands and the mythic vehicle.
Was still super fun though, except for when I lost every game. I'm generally OK at sealed, I kinda expect to go 3-1 often, but I just sacked out on Sunday. It happens I guess.
>>705433145
>7 mana boardwipe
I mean I get it's instant speed but so is Rout, and Supreme Verdict was legal in Standard at the same time as Fated Retribution.
Pic related though I guess.
>>705426894
>>705433145
This, in my zombie edh with phyrexian altar as a sack engine... So much lol
zendikar
run a playset of these in a naya deck and destroy
>>705433671
Everyone was new to the game, anything that could wipe the board was feared and no one was educated well enough to counter it.
>>705434545
Got 2 of these in the same day when I first started. Told my friend about them but I was more excited about Khalni Hydra... Now I know.
Onslaught, Fetchlands are important.
Time spiral, because duh.
>>705435075
Play this with a kessig wolf run
>>705434359
i dont get it why not just play a regular land
>>705425533
Looks like a mono-black deck. I can tell because of the density of swamp.
>>705425533
Probably Mirrodin/New Phyrexia. I liked Kamigawa, mostly because it was the current set when I started playing, but Mirrodin and New Phyrexia are just better overall
>>705433145
Odyssey was pretty good
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYuF3T7s7XY
Urza block. Easily.
No love for urza's block? Invasion was up there too.
>>705436221
that + hive mind = snakes; the format
>>705435633
I use these in my three color decks with high mana cost cards. Allows you to play what ever you want without waiting for the right mana.
We also got a lot of staples from Mirroden Block
There are probably a hundred articles explaining the benefits of fetch lands. Google it.
Zendikar cuz land mechanix
This
>>705435633
Deck thinning, and you'll generally always have the right mana to cast any spells you have splashed in your deck, works super good with dual-lands too
>no theros
>mfw
>>705436867
With this
I've never owned any magic cards in my life. The only card game I actually know how to play is blackjack.
>>705433145
fatestitcher and stuff
>>705436949
Theros was a shit set, my man. Nice flavor, but very poor average card utility. The limited format was awful, with lots of voltron magic, and barely any usable removal. I'm also struggling to think of more than half a dozen cards from the whole block that impacted eternal formats beyond Eidolon of the Great Revel, Thoughtseize, which was a reprint, and Mana Confluence, which nobody plays anyway.
zendikar block. Eldrazi, zend, worldwake. The artifact/poison shit that came after was a shit show.
>>705425533
I'm really found of homelands because it was my first set, and something about the art and characters is very charming. It was a very weak set though :(.
>>705437475
Fuck, I remember being a kid and getting a massive box of 1/2/3e, Ice Age and all the early blocks. Shame I gave tons of them away in a vain attempt to make friends. On the positive side, built up a decent collection from the very beginning till... fuck, a set that came out when the first LotR movie did. Loved the novels as well.
>>705437527
sorry dude I love Trailer Park Boys but none of these cards make sense, and are either terrible or way broken.
most fun was the very early sets. Too many fucking abilities and bullshit to deal with these days. I miss the days of just vanilla creatures with mostly basic abilities like regen, reach, flying, etc, and spell cards.
>>705437709
They are supposed to be broken
>>705433145
My angel deck is tight as fuck, fam
Legends of the Kamigawa
best set ever.
>>705437960
well, they suck except for Rick(e)y which is mad broken.
Everything else is pretty much terrible.
>>705428743
Wow. Actually worse than Tibalt.
I liked Zendikar for the landfall decks. something satisfying about sacrificing/bouncing a bunch of lands and triggering combos. I also like all vintage cards because I am a hipster. Pic related part of my collection.
I've actually made quite a few of these. I never said they were good. But they do make me laugh
tpb cards are cringe as fuck
>>705438425
Vintage is making a huge comeback
>can be used as an instant
>>705438899
>for the rest of the turn
Last one I got to post
>>705439166
you're such a fucking faggot
>>705439510
Oh only half way
>>705439510
And seriously. Are any of the cards I made any worse then the ones in the broken egg set?. Nope. So you can suck my tittie
>>705439016
>tap to regenerate "onto the battlefield tapped"
Oh lord keep these coming
>>705425533
Tempest is pretty fun
Urza's Saga was broken in standard and continues to have a strong presence in eternal formats.
Lorwyn was fantastic fun to draft.
Unglued was also fun to draft, we really need a third funny set.
For funnest but shittiest drafting, try the following:
> The Dark
> Homelands
> Prophecy
>>705438736
Good to know! I don't have anything mind blowing like mox(s) or black lotus but I have an original Birds of Paradise, balance, demonic tutor and some other cool things
Anyone want to play Magic 2014? Odds are low but it could be fun.
>>705439867
You can untap during your untap phase. It's meant to force the player into one rd of not being able to use the hulk to block if you regenerate
>>705440415
On steam? Fuxking love the eldrazi deck
>>705440946
Yeah. I've never played with anyone on /b/ via Steam, but it sounds like fun.
>>705425885
both great i think i put Tempest above Mirage and the 3 sets from Urza's saga above that.
One from /b/'s own magic set that we made.
>>705437475
It wasn't my first set but shortly after I moved to this little backwater town and it ended up being the only set my card shop carried. It definitely is endearing for the art and characters.
>>705431943
>Scornful Egotist
All hail the great lord egotist!
>want to play magic
>collect cards
>no friends to play with
>forever alone
>>705441976
Same
>>705437577
>>705437475
>>705441502
Baron and this guy were definitely memorable
>>705442106
and this faggy fuck lol
>>705441976
Go to nearest card shop. Tons of people, most aren't fags...a few chris chans but they get ignored.
>>705438899
I haven't read this series, but from what I understand it makes more sense for him to attack every turn if able and have like first strike or deathtouch or something. Also, pump effects aren't really black unless they have a more drastic cost.
>>705440546
should use the term pay instead of tap when referencing the 2 green.
I loved donating stuff like force of nature and illusions of grandeur when this card came out.
Not a tier 1 strategy, but hilarious and fun.
>>705425533
Really enjoyed Fate reforged, but overall id have to say New Phyrexia.
>>705425533
The Dark
>>705435633
Yes you do.
>>705443128
I like using cards like Bribery and Treachery to steal other players' shit.
Pretty good in commander.
Fucking. Legions.
>>705425533
Homelands because banding
>>705443869
>filename
Is that supposed to be the new Chandra? All the other walkers in Kaladesh are under $20
>>705444053
lol for now.
>>705444290
The UR one might go up cuz of combos, the others seem pretty lame.
I think the UR one is the only walker in that set that'll see play outside of standard.
Lorwyn, mainly cause I love the Elementals on that plane. And the tone of it is so different from all the more recent one.
I want more fairy tale planes.
>>705427869
its fucking awesome i pulled chandra and nissa today durring prerelease
>>705444566
Don't expect a Return to Lorwyn. It was the lowest selling set in a long time.
It was very under-opened, which is why a lot of cards from that block cost so much.
>>705444932
Yeah I know, I've also mostly stopped playing magic because poor + no play group. But damn i need to rebuild my 5 color Horde of Notions tribal elemental deck, that was a fun deck.
But i can dream for more Lorwyn elementals.
>>705444732
Gz bro. I didnt get any amazing pulls buy my homie pulled a Sol Ring and a Chandra. Had about 8 or 9 masterpieces in total pulled over the weekend at my lgs
>>705444932
>Lorwyn
abortion fist jace was cool though.
>>705445311
I prefer the weeb variant.
>>705445180
What state you live in anon?
>>705445441
oh man the animu plainwalkers lol
Ravnica, Kamigawa, Innistrad, for new sets Khans of Tarkir was fucking great, not just because of the fetches.
A green deck? Must have aids
Oath of the Gatewatch was the most insane set printed in a long time. Fucking Thoughtknot and Kalitas.
Kalitas is easily the most broken creature printed in the last few years, and that's an accomplishment when Avacyn and Siege Rhino were printed around the same time.
>>705445521
California, but i'm in the country with no drivers licenses (yet test is Wednesday).
Also only like one shop in a good distance around and it is pretty shit from what i remember from high school.
no dual lands, no black lotus, ... no charizard.... ... no want... !
>>705437457
6 1/1's off of a 2/3 for only 4 mana WITH an ability? Ridiculously OP
>>705446154
Damn i used to live down in Sac, up in WA now.
>>705446687
Sacramento? Damn that would've been close as shit, right in/near that area.
>>705445852
>>705446924
Since i moved i dont mind disclosing where exactally. Citrus Heights/Carmichael Area.
>>705438492
i like this kek
>>705447041
Whelp hope you're enjoying it up in WA. I'm a little less than 2 hours away but it was fucking hot as shit.
Still love those glorious hills of dead fucking grass.
>>705433145
>>705447478
kek Wa is nice, enjoy it better than dying in 100+ degree weather. Sacramento sucks balls, glad i left xD
Theros mah nigs
This is what I like
Fucking alpha, then sell that shit and retire.
>>705447758
But the Bay Area is so nice! Even though it isn't i do have a love for it.
I'm sure there are so many better places to live but all my family is here and i love my family.
I liked Fallen Empires
Invasion of Chaos
>>705425533
Everything time spiral and earlier, magic went to shit after that, lorwyn fucked everything and it never recovered, fucking babby magic
Yoyo building an azorius deck, any suggestions?
>>705449374
Standard, EDH, casual, Legacy, etc.?
>>705427087
This
>>705450010
Standard lad, just for friday
what's the best color for a noob?
>>705450702
Red is simple for the burn strategy.
Green or white for some simple creature beat down strategies.
>>705450702
Red White and Black is great m8
Cold Snap and Ice Age because fuck you.
urza's saga ftw
>>705450702
red for burn green for creatures. I'd say combine them.
>>705428129
100% agree
>>705425533
Jesus Tap-Dancing Christ, you're all fucking fags
>>705428129
do you play at dragons keep? i've never heard anyone say that before except this one guy that plays at my shop
>>705454117
Are you upset that you don't understand what the cards say?
bummping
