Don’t think it took that long. Highlanders last 20-30 minutes! It just took longer because it was the first time we did it.

Well, I wasn't in that game, but was waiting to play someone, so it felt like it took forever!

I cant remember what the name of the card was (something the lion) he was a creature that if you use his ability, all creatures in play die. The tag line was something about king of the jungle. was a white magic card.

This guy?

Solid card. He rotates in and out of my EDH deck.

I actually have one of those. I could never work out what he was supposed to be. Weird giant with a tiny head?

yeah my brother had him in his deck. I was lucky enough to have a spell that melted him.

Can see that you're logged on Rufus, but you're "away"... Tst tsk

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #982 on:** August 16, 2012, 10:24:54 PM »

I should use this against you!

This guy is better:

That card layout annoys me though.

Me too. They were supposed to be from the future or whatever. I hope the card faces never look like that in real life.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #987 on:** August 17, 2012, 11:00:56 AM »

Oh dear, I might buy some actual magic cards.

Izzet = red/blue with that awesome dragon! And dead elves (the other deck) are also a good thing.

Maybe!

Finlay · « **Reply #988 on:** August 17, 2012, 11:08:55 AM »

What's that, the next block?

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #989 on:** August 17, 2012, 11:22:28 AM »

I think it's a preview for the next block, or something. It comes out about a month before the new block.

I think voltorb might be back!

Plus that deck has this guy, who is blue/red-tastic:

Finlay · « **Reply #990 on:** August 17, 2012, 11:28:29 AM »

He's quite expensive, but cool. His flavour text is awesome!

Can I look at the stuff on Gatherer?

I'm going to buy more cards anyway, so I have more than one deck.

Perhaps next time we meet up we can do some sealed games for real or something?

I think that's an old block actually, Ravnica-block if I'm not mistaken. Lot's of cool gold cards in that one... If find those blocks alot more fun and diverse than the artifact heavy ones.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #992 on:** August 17, 2012, 03:04:04 PM »

The next block is 'return to ravinika,' so that's why. Some of the old ravinika cards will probably be reprinted in the new set.

There's no list of what's actually in the duel decks set, apart from the two cards you can see on the front. But since buying an old Niv-mizzet doesn't cost that much less than buying the set (!), it's worth it.

two 60-card decks, including a reprinted niv-mizzet card with a new picture = £15
one Niv-mizzet card from the old ravinika set = £12!

Hmm, maybe! Bit expensive though. Booster packs are like 3.50 each.

Siberius · « **Reply #993 on:** August 17, 2012, 08:26:26 PM »

Finlay, have you ever drafted? Maybe next time you guys do a bash you should try it. It's kinda like sealed, only more fun! I wish they had a way to do it on the site.

Rufus, I think I have a spare of one of the cards you were looking for.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #994 on:** August 17, 2012, 09:29:14 PM »

Grumpy rufus strikes again!

Sorry Siby.

hmmm, and now the program is broken.

If you turn the card on its side, the formula reads "Niv Mizzet"

Oh, which one? I'm still missing Bruna, angel of something; malignus; tybalt the fiend blooded. I just need those three to complete avacyn restored!

edit: not anymore! completed!

I just bought some actual magic cards.

Aurochses, so I can make an aurochs deck. It should be amazing.

Congrads! There's something satisfying about the physical cards, which has always been part of the draw of the game to me.

Finlay · « **Reply #999 on:** August 19, 2012, 07:19:01 PM »

Where did you buy them from? I liked your aurhocs deck, before you deleted it in a rage.

I want to buy another deck or too. I guess playing in person will be less strict on composition.
