Is this game only for Win95? Don't tell me I bought it for nothing! No patches or anything on their site at all! Stupid Wizards of the Coast!
 
What do you expect from a bunch of people who call turning pieces of paper sideways fun?

Hey, it is a lot of fun. If you get into playing it a lot (at tournaments and stuff) the ammount of strategy and thought put into playing and building decks is amazing. Hours every day perfecting.

I would have kept up with it but it is WAY to expensive (if you aren't winning all the time). But some person I know won over 100,000 one year by winning a lot of the big tournaments. He represented the United States at the world tournament in Tokyo.
 
I hope you didn't get the Encyclopedia, as its no longer being supported. As far as MTG: Online, its cheaper and easier to use apprentice.

There is barely any strategy with regards to deckbuilding when it comes to constructed. All the best decks are on the WWW. I played MTGO for a couple months and got very very bored with playing the same damn decks over and over. Waste of time, BIG waste of money.

Untrue if you are the best. I played with some of the best in the world, and it was always about finding some combination that was different from what was on the web to put you on top. Sometimes it was just a few cards different, but that element was there.

The big tournament I won up in Seattle was mainly due to my offbase sideboard. Totally origional, and unexpected. I crushed the oposition, and won a invite (plus prize money) to Pro Tour NY.

Unfortunately I lost there 🙁 But going to NY was fun (never been there before) 🙂

Thats why I only play casual with my friends. Home made decks, not net decks, are much more fun.

So a CCG isn't supposed to have deckbuilding strategy until you are at the world class level? Lame if you ask me. I enjoy games that have deckbuilding strategy no matter what level you are playing at.
 
I have this game, and the expansion (spells of the plainswalker). It works under 2000, but not XP.

In XP, I can get the game loaded, and after patching it, I can play duels with the pre-made decks. The adventure runs way too fast, and there are no cards but air elemental in the deck builder. I never could get it to work after adding the expansion, patched or otherwise.

I've tried compatability mode but couldn't get that to make anything better.

Same here, unless you have lots of money, its very hard when you start out to win. I used to go every weekend to local tournaments but gave it up because I spent too much of my money. Freaking $3.29 for 11 pieces of paper, most of which are usually worthless.

Well, if you don't look on the internet and just play with your buddies all of it is 100% your own design and deck building strategy.

It's like chess. You could complain "all the best moves are on the internet." But I still think chess is fun, even so. And it doesn't mean there is no strategy involved in your game.
 
Ha, the best decks are the ones with cheap casting common and uncommon cards, and just few rare.

I had a black deck, that was all swamps, Black nights, the knights from the Fallen Empire set,bad moons, Sengir Vampires, Vampire bats, juggernaughts,plague,ornathopters,and life drains. Icy manipulator Royal Assassign, oh and carrion ants.

My white deck was plains Serra Angels, white nights, knights from fallen empires, savanna lions, bengal skirmishers;crusades, land destruction ,ornathopters,juggernaughts,
 
i had a red and green DD deck... just a few crappy monsters to protect me and then fireballs and lightning
 
i had a blue/green stompy deck.

BIG echo creatures, rancors, and the blue flying fading 2/2 thingy. you dont know it hurts until the might of oaks comes along (+7/+7 until end of turn) 😉 oh yeah and with a rancor it becomes a 11/9 trampling flying MONSTER 😀

edit: on a side note i derive my name from a card in MTG. (break out the boxes, hint: its in stronghold)
 
I used to play Magic all the time, but I spent way too much money. Actually, that wasn't a problem so much as the fact that they started coming out with expansion sets rapid-fire. I don't remember exactly what the rate of new sets was, but it was really excessive. Plus a lot of cards were remakes of older cards, but crappier. Plus the tournament scene is so incredibly not fun it isn't even funny. I have over 6,000 cards and it is more fun to get a friend or two and have everyone make a deck from scratch, from only those cards.
 
THere is a way to get it to work on 2k and XP (I think)
Do a newsgrouo search on it. Theres a patch 1.31 I think.
ANd you need duel of the planeswalker to get it to work right
 
We used to play extended at my card shop and I played an all blue Stasis deck. It kicked ass, I pissed everyone off with it, most annoying deck to play against if the person know what they are doing.
 
Damn I thought a was a pretty bad nerd/geek....

thanks to this thread. My self esteem has boosted knowing I'm actually not that bad. 😛
