That card sucks for sure. On top of that, it is uncommon?!?

Talking of centaurs, just saw this guy and am imagining an edh deck full of land grab, druids and ridiculously huge green creatures!

Turn 4 or 5, the big stuff should be coming out already...

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #2177 on:** March 14, 2013, 02:21:04 PM »

But we don't like EDH!

Siberius · « **Reply #2178 on:** March 14, 2013, 05:41:31 PM »

Can't stop a guy from dreaming!

phillyt · « **Reply #2179 on:** March 14, 2013, 08:41:48 PM »

EDH? What's that?

Siberius · « **Reply #2180 on:** March 14, 2013, 08:51:28 PM »

Highlander, the 100 card rules. In theory fun, but we haven't been able to make it work!

phillyt · « **Reply #2181 on:** March 14, 2013, 08:53:42 PM »

Commander?

Siberius · « **Reply #2182 on:** March 14, 2013, 11:31:37 PM »

Yeh, that too!

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #2183 on:** March 15, 2013, 10:08:00 AM »

We could try EDH again. But it's so hard to get a relatively even power level! And you can't do it by limiting the age of the cards, because there is obnoxious stuff from almost every set.

Maybe we need to try it multiplayer! Since that's meant to be the idea.

phillyt · « **Reply #2184 on:** March 15, 2013, 10:47:08 AM »

Jesus, just make a damn deck and play!

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #2185 on:** March 15, 2013, 10:51:49 AM »

Tried that. It was rubbish!

Have you played EDH/commander, Phil? If so, do you like it?

Finlay · « **Reply #2188 on:** March 15, 2013, 11:46:49 AM »

I liked the one game we sort of played.

Would be up for multiplayer!

4-player? Might be hard to arrange though.

I want to make a black/white 'kill everything' deck.

Finlay · « **Reply #2190 on:** March 15, 2013, 12:15:18 PM »

even 3 player probably makes it better.

I can probably be on tonight.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #2191 on:** March 15, 2013, 12:25:39 PM »

OK, let's try it!

Though I still think it's a weird format. And I might get bored while trying to make the deck.

Uh oh, dangerous drawback on this card!

phillyt · « **Reply #2192 on:** March 15, 2013, 01:13:32 PM »

I like Commander. IT is a format for long time players with a huge card base bored with the standard deck formats.

WHat is neat about it is that you don't have to worry about having play sets of cards and can really play with your favorite cards.

Of course, when you have access to the entire library of cards then it might get a little odd.

Yes, that's the problem we have with it really!

It doesn't end up being casual at all!

phillyt · « **Reply #2194 on:** March 15, 2013, 02:56:31 PM »

But with 100 cards and a 1 card limit, you limit how much consistency a player can achieve. Add the 4 player format and you have a neat dynamic, though most people who play it are jaded and tired to the standard formats in my experience.

Finlay · « **Reply #2195 on:** March 15, 2013, 03:15:08 PM »

I moated rufus and he rage quit.

in my other commander, I played a 27/27 prime speaker vegana! It was amazing.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #2196 on:** March 15, 2013, 03:25:47 PM »

Hmmm, I tried to make a new EDH deck. Gave up after 30 cards.

Tedious!

So if we play I'll have to use Muzzy Izzet or Herons.

Hmmm, so a Zur the Enchanter deck needs black, white or blue enchantments that cost 3 or less. How many can there be? Oh. 782.

Won't bother then.

“sort by community rating, descending”

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #2198 on:** March 15, 2013, 04:42:57 PM »

Hey, that's a good idea!

Finlay · « **Reply #2199 on:** March 15, 2013, 04:55:26 PM »

not perfect, and misses any subtle cards, but helps to filter it a bit!
