Hmm, good point. Will try to do that then!

It's going to involve a lot of cards I normally discount as being too situational.
That's the point!

you removed all 4 naturalizes because it annoyed you drawing them and not needing them. sideboard them all!
I don't care about the rules.

Ha ha! There are only four creatures in the history of magic that have plainswalk!

I'm not sure why. Tradition, perhaps!

Wouldn't it be easy to walk across plains?

You'd think, but apparently not.

Anyway, I've made a deck with a sideboard.


Kamigawa sealed: so hard to believe that all the cards really are that bad!

Actually, I had the red ghost dragon and a weird green ghost legend that boosted everyone else. So actually I had good cards!

I don't like kamigowa. Too many weird rules and weird looking cards... And everything is legendary. Barney would love it.

Cheap 4/4 flier.  There were some kamigawa cards that added counters to good cards and had bad effects.  Likewise, he is a decent spirit and the spirit decks could be really nasty.  But he is certainly not a stellar card.

Ok, lots of Kami cards which buff you if you have lots of cards in hand- what are the methods of doing so in kami?

There were a lot of cards that used spirits in your hand or graveyard or play, plus many that triggered off arcane cards.  In both cases there was decent symetry, but spirit decks were never the top shelf stuff from the block.

kodama's reach finds a land. there are a bunch of blue "draw card" spells.
But the ones I've seen which buff for big hands are white!

I'll make a few decks anyway, and as we learn the block more hopefully make them better.

Excited!

Are you doing theae sealed or are you just making kami decks?

Either way I might just play normal games, I am going to have a rufusesque refusal to look at kami.   :icon_razz:

That is totally unreasonable!  :icon_smile:


The Kamigawa flip cards are horrible to look at:



Messy! The double-sided Innistrad ones are so much better.

Yeh, I haven't seen the inni flip cards in real life but they look like they'd be really nice. Never got my head round the kami ones. Have you guys actually played any games yet? Is it fun?

The innistrad ones SUCKKKKKKKK

Think of it this way:  Either you need two of every one of them (or more if you play multiples of them) or you need to pull them from your sleeves and turn them around physically every damn time you want to use them!

Ask Towni, he will back me up!

Transparent card sleeves. Done!

That's what I do. It's fine. They are amazing, and in fact you suck.  :icon_razz:

QFT. Or just use the card with the tick boxes in your sleeve and have the real card in a stack off to the side.
