when m12 comes out, whats the Standard pool of sets become? I was wondering About Creating a BUDGET deck for standard, or other formats, that can stand a chance in real online tournaments...or is that just a pipe dream? My card pool is small, only really have alot of m11 because thats the last time i played, going to be draft some m12 when the release events come out though. If anyone has any suggestions lemme know, and if you have estimates for cost that would be awesome too! | ||

You can do reasonably well with a mono red deck (these are usually among the cheaper decks in the format, depending if you shell out for Koths or not). The tempered steel deck is pretty cheap too. As far as what rotates, nothing. The standard pool is Zendikar block (zen, worldwake, rise, -jace and stoneforge), Scars block, M11, and M12. When the new set comes out, Innistrad, M11 and Zendikar block will not be legal. That won't be until October (3rd?) though. | ||

I got the entire thing for 2 tickets plus a few things I already had from drafts. His goblins deck (2nd one on the list) is dirt cheap, especially if you have some M12 already. | ||

I ended up Red/Black, I opened a Flameblast dragon and was the only red drafter at the table for the first pack, second pack was a blank but got passed a Mind Control and Aven Fleetwing back to back, but ended up not getting any blue and just getting a Bloodrage Vampire and Duskhunter Bat in black on top of the Gravedigger, Deathmark, and Consume Spirit I already had. I said out loud to myself, "If I open a Sorin, I'm Black, Jace and I'm Blue." And I opened a Sorin, so I went black. 2-0'd the first 2 rounds to mediocre decks that really didn't play much before they died (although I had a great one where the guy was at 23 due to lifegain bullshit, I played Sorin, killed off a blocker, then next turn put him to 10, attacked with Crumbling Colossus, then flung it before the sac trigger for lethal.), and ended up 2-1 in the finals to Blue/White fliers (3x Aven Fleetwings + Archon of Justice + Timely Reinforcements). I won both games that I got a turn 1 Fireslinger + turn 2 Duskhunter Bat and lost the game I kept a hand with 2 lands, a bunch of 3 drops, and Combust. Last game was close, I kept a hand with Chandra's Outrage, 2 Swamps, 1 Mountain, Dragonskull Summit, Goblin Fireslinger, and Duskhunter Bat. Drew another outrage first turn and thought it was pretty well over. He had a turn 4 Fleetwing that traded with my bat, then a turn 5 Fleetwing that stuck around. I ended up with a turn 6 Sorin, though, and his +2 kept him alive for 2 turns until he played and equipped a Greatsword on his Fleetwing. I drained with Sorin to put him to 7 and Fireslinged him on his turn to put him to 6, he played Griffin Sentinel and Assault Griffin (that got Outraged) once Sorin was dead, but I was able to Firesling + Consume Spirit for 4 to end the game before they could beat me down too hard. Decklist: + Show Spoiler + 1x Sorin Markov 1x Flameblast Dragon 1x Dragonskull Summit 1x Crumbling Colossus 1x Consume Spirit 1x Bloodrage Vampire 1x Child of Night 1x Goblin Fireslinger 1x Blood Ogre 1x Gorehorn Minotaur 2x Chandra's Outrage 2x Firey Hellhound 1x Duskhunter Bat 1x Lava Axe 1x Fling 1x Goblin War Paint 1x Shock 1x Mind Rot 1x Manic Vandal 1x Slaughter Cry 1x Gravedigger | ||

In high school I was that quiet kid with like no friends, but, every Wednsday and Friday I would go to the local card shop after school and have a blast with all the regulars. They were all older and in college. They beat me every time, but I feel I learned a lot by losing to people so much better than me. If I wasn't young and money-less, and could run a Tier 1 deck, I would have been just as good as them (I think anyway. I do have a bit of an ego =P ) I quit around the time Ravnica came out. Only played on MWS at Magic-League every once in a while. Stopped following the game completely around the time Time Spiral was new. Great times. I've always wanted to start playing again and was thinking about doing some drafting on Magic Online (way cheaper than constructed). Is there a place I can look up the changes made to the game in the past few years? I know they screwed around with core concepts like the stack and added lame planeswalkers. Also, is there a site that gives detailed summaries of the books? Like, really detailed? I was a bnit of a lore nut and would like to catch up. I noticed Phyrexia is mentioned in some of the newer sets and I'm really interested to see how that story line turned out post-invasion. Yawgy rox my sox. <3 | ||

look at this deck: http://www.magicdeckvortex.com/DDB/indestructible_march.htm now look at the card March of the machines, which makes each artifact an artifact creature with x/x where x is it's converted mana cost then look at myr matrix myr matrix has an ability where for 5 you put a 1/1 myr artifact creature into play. so... when you put that 1/1 myr artifact creature into play, does that mean it's converted mana cost is 5? | ||

It's the like old March deck when March first printed...I ran that when it was Standard legal until Ravager and T/N came out. As for your question, no. March affects non-creature artifacts. Tokens are 0 CMC unless otherwise stated. March also blew up all the artifact lands that were popular at the time, so literally it was a total board wipe once March resolved. | ||

Fun times. I Top 4'ed a JSS with it back in the day. Epic game three against Tooth and Nail - I Obliterate late game. He has only a Darksteel Collosis and I have March + enough three Ingots and a Pendant. I can't attack because I need all my guys to block or I lose. He can't attack because he needs to block one of my guys or he loses. So we go to draw-go, and he eventually wins the race for lands. :/ Great game though. It went on longer than any of the others so we had a crowed watching us the whole time. | ||
