Magic the Gathering

I know a few people in my area put salt packets (the one you get with shoes) in whatever they store them in to keep moisture out,

I ordered alot of singles off of troll and toad a while ago. I hope they come in today...

Do you guys buy singles, or do only get packs and stuff?

Borrow for expensive cards.
Buy 1-2 booster packs every week. Never a box nor a fat pack. I don't know why, but I have a nice luck from booster packs.

The rest, all singles from kanatacg or ebay.

If I'm working on a project, singles, usually just from the shop I play at, or Amazon if they don't have certain cards. If I'm just looking to get more cards, I'll buy a box. I don't buy packs, 'cus its cheaper per pack to just buy a box, so the only time I really get individual packs is from drafts, or by earning them during FNM or the Standard tourneys the shop holds each Sunday.

Same here. If I'm ordering off the internet, I either buy from the dealer at the flea market or buy boxes. But the last box I bought was way back in Zendikar. I was gonna buy a box ofvreturn to raviica, but when I went to the flea market to buy it, I ended up buying $200+ dollars in singles instead, lol.

EDIT: Sweeeet!!!!! My cards did come in today (not the pretty sleeves tho). These will complete two of my EDH decks. I also got a few just for collectig purposes.

If you guys are wondering where to order, TCGplayer.com is a good place to buy a lot of MTG, as well as a lot of other TCG cards online, especially when you need an individual card that's not in stock at your local TCG shop.

I find a lot of cheap cards as well as a wide variety of what I need in one order, so I won't have to go to Amazon and buy sets that are a bit more expensive.

Question,
I have 10 Goblin tokens and Krenko in the battlefield. Then Detention Sphere comes into play and exiles all tokens right?
Now, when I tap Krenko, are the incoming tokens also exiled or not?

Star City Games, TCGplayer, Ebay, Shops in the area (I'm lucky enough to have like 5 within driving distance of house and/or work), and sales lots on MTGsalvation, if your looking for a high priced card, going through those and being patient will usually yield you a good price, typically gets easier if your buying playsets as you can usually find a playset of a card for roughly %20 off or so.

Tcgplayer is has the mass card entry thing which makes it easier to buy in bulk, although sometimes the shipping kills me, I like star city, although they tend towards the pricey side (I like to use them for valuing cards in trading), but the cards I've ordered are in great condition (seriously, the foil piledrivers I ordered are mint, despite being listed at Lightly played I think), ebay/LGS/sales lots are crap shoots really, sometimes you get some good deals, other times you pay too much for cards that aren't in the condition they claim them to be :/




No, D-Sphere only exiles tokens that are currently on the field. For the record, because the tokens left play, they are gone for good.

So I just built this deck to fuck with people. Only cost me $15.
It is a work in progress, changes will be made.
I call it I have a low opinion of my opponent, and I would like him to be aware of this fact.
Or just Dickhole Deck for short.

Creatures
x4 Tormented Soul (1drop 1/1 Can't block, unblockable)
x4 Inkfathom Infiltrator (2drop 2/1 Can't block, unblockable)
x4 Ogre Marauder (3drop 3/1 Defending player must sac a creature to block Ogre Marauder)
x4 Hand of Cruelty (2drop 2/2 Bushido2 Protection from White)
x4 Typhoid Rats (1drop 1/1 Deathtouch)
x2 Thrill-kill Assassin (2drop 2/2 Unleash Deathtouch)
x2 Toshiro Umezawa (3drop 2/2 When an opponents creature is killed, I can play an instant from my graveyard)

Instants
x4 Murder
x4 Go for the Throat
x2 Doom Blade
x2 Victim of the Night
x2 Ultimate Price
(all kill spells)

x22 Swamp

The idea is that I can keep attacking with creatures that either my opponent can't block, or wouldn't want to block.
To defend myself, all other cards are kill spells, also utilizing Toshiro Umezawa's ability to play even more kill spells from my graveyard.
Opinions? (Besides "Wow, you're a bastard" of course)

I knew it that kid was cheating or effing with me! "No, I'm pretty sure it exiles them too"
That stupid little bastard!

Well, at least he was still raped.

I like the idea of the deck, it's funny. I think some way to make your guys bigger should be added though, since many of the creatures have somewhat low power, like, Tormented Soul is a nice card (a Limited allstar), but even better when you're able to grow that guy somehow. Also, you have so much removal I'd think eventually all of it will end up stuck in your hand having no more targets. In the end, I suppose that's a good thing, but in that case, you'll want those cards in your hand to be spells that help kill the opponent faster instead.

Also, your mana curve seems low enough to maybe use less lands, but that's something that's easier to figure out when you test the deck.

Well if you try to activate Krenko in response to D.Sphere (thus making 10 new tokens) then yes, the new tokens would die too.

This is because since you actived Krenko in response to D.Sphere, then Krenko's effect would go off first (doubling you're tokens) and THEN D.Sphere would go off (thus removing all of them).

EDIT: And if you didn't activate Krenko in response to D.Sphere, then the D.Sphere would go off first, meaning you're tokens would be removed, and then Krenko would not have any tokens to copy when be taps afterwards.

Correction: Krenko still makes goblins. Just much less, due to there being less Goblins on the field. His effects doubles Goblins, not tokens.

Everything else was right though.

Yah, I was assuming the goblin tokens were the only goblins on the field.

EDIT: Oh wait, Krenko's a goblin (duh). So even then he would still make one, lol.

I'm just curious, why not run 4 Toshiro Umezawa?

He's probably worried because Umezawa is legendary. If there are more than one legendary anything with the same name out on the field at the same time, they're IMMEDIATELY sent to the graveyard, and I don't think one can respond to that.

EDIT: This being said, I'd believe Umezawa would be a lightning rod (a creature the easily attracts removal due to having powerful effects), so I do agree maybe running more could be a plan.

He's a Legendary. I don't wanna be stuck with too many of them at once if I cant play them.

But doesn't having 2 reduces the chances of getting him. Not to mention the chances of the opponent having some kind of removal. But I see what you mean

Was thinking about dropping in some Hexproof creatures. Still a work in progress after all.

Speaking of that, you only have targeted removal. Enemy Hexproof creatures might almost be untouchable. But, since you're playing black, you have plenty of ways to make your opponent sacrifice creatures, which gets around hexproof. The first one I can think of that sounds very good for you is Geth's Verdict.



It still doesn't change the fact that redundant copies are useless in your hand. It's why most people I know don't typically use four copies unless it's a key part of their strategy.

Only exception I've seen so far is Geist of Saint Traft, sometimes.

EDIT: Uhh, right... Umezawa's Jitte. Just because it's so ridiculously powerful. A piece of equipment that is comparable to a planeswalker.
