I'm sure I mentioned that to you before!

Also, why is GCCG so slow to load? It's much worse on my new computer than it was on the really old one!

Maybe, but I forgot?

No idea, it’s weird, it got much faster for me when I got my new computer vs using my laptop?

Could it be something to do with windows 8, do you think?  :icon_confused:

I think it may be the latest mtg update.  I have windows 8 on my laptop and it was working pretty fast, but I noticed after updating to m14 when I signed in to check it was there it took a while. I am ok with it as long as it doesn't keep crashing... We shall see!

Finlay and I played last night, and it didn't crash once. There was just a lot of waiting around between games because of my terrible loading times!

Anyway, I expect to see you on there soon!

M14 sealed was OK. I'm looking forward to Theros arriving though.

Good news! The crashing was driving me crazy. Long load times are annoying, but at least you can play...

In terms of when I might come on... Hmm... Weekend is looking bad, well possibly this evening depending on what else is going on...

I downloaded Magic 2013 on XBOX360 because it was free. It's pretty fun. I'm enjoying the fire deck.

Even if you don't know the mythology, the card that makes Boar tokens does so by turning the other guy's guys into them!  I guess it's good form to bring tokens for him to use.

Simic!

I like this one:




I think the full spoiler is up now.

Also, precon decks:

http://www.wizards.com/magic/tcg/productarticle.aspx?x=mtg/tcg/theros/intropacks#deck1

The blue one has the kraken and the swine curse spell! Want.

And the black one has whip of erebos.

Breaking news! I might make it on today...!

I like the art for that chimera. Plus lots of random rules. If you could find something to pump it up slightly, it could be a game winner.

About time! I'm expecting the theros cards to be on GCCG this weekend, to coincide with the real life prerelease.


The chimera gets +1T, flash and the lifegain thing for one mana more than drakewing krasis. Not bad!

Some of the new rules seem a tad confusing to me, but even ignoring them, this doesn't seem too bad. First strike is such a pain in the butt.





Why are griffons always rubbish in mtg?




I guess if you use that archon's rediculously expensive rule on this guy it might be goodnight...





 :-o



White human decks already looking nifty... I saw a bunch of them in the spoiler you could use and some nice cards to boost them...

I don't really like Heliod! There's even a white card that exiles him. The blue and black gods are better.

'Bestow' seems to cost too much in almost every case.

Griffons are always rubbish! I think it's a tradition.


Hmmm, I didn't notice that the hero had double strike, not first strike. That's pretty brutal combined with an instant that gives target creature +whatever until the end of the turn.

Yeh, I find it hard to believe that hero won't be in all the net decks...

There are 2 rubbish griffons in this set already, it's impressive!

Someone should make a griffon theme deck, and try to win a game!

That hero is a beast, and will be one of the most expensive cards of the set.

I'm not so sure...he has a ton of competition at the 3-CMC slot: Fiendslayer Paladin, Ajax and Cymede, and Banisher Priest.  If I build around Heroic though, he'll be in for sure.

I didn't like the rules for theros.

Bestow and gigantic are too expensive.
Devotion is only on a handful of cards.

I like scry being in it, and I do like heroic as I quite like using enchantments anyway. There are also some really great instant common spells which I like a lot. Blue, white and green look fun!
I really like the idea of devotion to encourage more monocolur decks, but it’s only on the gods, right? And monstrosity and bestow are universally too expensive.  (I think I saw one monstrosity I’d want to use)
Although I guess monstrosity might be good in sealed in a slow game If you get lots of mana.
