Just after my first test game - that thing is awesome!
Ok, so there are now two ways to go:
1) search through bzwgzillion of cards to make a deck and have fun...
2) earn money and play sealed deck format. No insane combos, no overpowered cards, just imagination and pure fun.

Just a quick question... how does the economic system work in gccg? I see that You can buy cards but there is no money for the start... so how new player can earn some? Is there a money for playing with proxy cards?
Maybe tomorrow I'll try to build a deck and start playing...
emrakul with polymorph is wrong way to play. Cthulhu cards should be played only with these:
I'a! I'a! Emrakul! Fhtagn!
Edit: Mana burn is no more!
what is happening to this world...

Working on a deck....
found Eldrazis...
I need to build blue cthulhu deck with it.
also, it's much more convienient to search for cards in gccg/graphics folder. So many possibilities...

Ok, so it's some kind of connection problem - when I type /reconnect command I also get: "Server closed connection ABNORMAL EXIT!" response.
But it seems that it has nothing to do with firewall, couldn't find gccg on list of exceptions to let it go through firewall, but when I turned it off it didn't help.
Every info on server problems i find in the net with gccg is about hosting a table... I will keep on googling

Siberius, I think It may be something about connection (how else could it check available usernames if it's not connected). I'll try to turn off firewall or something else.

Ok... I installed everything, loaded the cards, etc... but I can't set user name - everytime it writes back that i need to have 2-10 characters, letters and numbers... what am I doing wrong? cant believe that all variations of stolzeuh77 are already taken...

Sounds like good idea... but what is the name of the software? It would be easier to start for me 
On what license does it work, is it free?

It's good to add soap to the mix, it will make the liquid act like a real wash, not watered down paint.

Never met anyone playing with that. Even guy using Dragon deck build it more around some kind of synergy (I don't remember how exactly it worked), but I never played against anyone choosing a worse card just because some meta play reasons.
And that actually explains a lot about wfb style of play in my area, when some of the magic guys started playing warhammer...

I don't think there is any cheese in MtG - there is no fluff play in card games, You just play to win. Combo decks also needs skill to work, You need to invent the combo, build the deck, etc. I have never seen anyone playing those decks that can win on turn 1 or 2, that kind of power decks were usually unimaginably expensive.

When I was still playing I read a series of articles written by some world top player, and it wasn't about deck construction as many other tutorials on the web, but about using best whatever cards You get - he explained tactics using mostly common cards and concentrated on topics like when it's worth to attack or sacrifice a creature etc. Sounds like tutorials for starting people, but it was really good and full of insight. Can't remember the name but it was in Kamigawa's days, probably on Wizards of the Coast site.
So good player is the one that can utilise his cards to the max, even if they're crap. That's why I think Sealed deck format shows real skill (apart from that big portion of luck).

Only the rider can make supporting attacks, so unfortunately no stomps, and no normal attacks from demigryphs.

Shavixmir, that deck archetype was called reanimator in my group - all black plus the best creatures from other colours:
like:
and her:
I liked to play against it with my deck when first card I played was Carrion Beetle (cheap graveyard cleaners)

I remember my black and blue lockdown control:
I was very proud of that combination, as it was genuinly mine idea, not some copied winning deck everyone around was playing. I managed to win with it with local pro players - the game was really annoying for an opponent, as my combo needed many cards to work on full scale, but it started to be painfull with just few of them on the table, and with everything in play it was complete lockdown, my opponent could only sit and wait till I slowly finish him... Buahahahaha!
My most happy memory with Magic the Gardening was when I managed to sell every card I owed for a price very close to the money I spend to get them. It was really good game, but it lost a lot of it's charm on that moment, when everyone around stopped playing with just a bunch of cards and it changed to some cold war's arms race.
EDIt: strange, not all of the pictures are visible... there were also Carrion Beetles and Psychatog, Isochron Sceptre and Fire/Ice. I remember all of it after all those years

The video I posted was taken at Wolin (former Jomsborg) festival in Poland - this Year it's 3rd-5th of August, near Szczecin city, 200 km from Berlin. Shame there is no official information in english... or I am a bad researcher. I bet they have facebook profile.

My skill is too low to give some constructive criticism on OSL, but have You read tutorials from coolminiornot?

That looks like made for RPG's, and when playing those I aim for True Actor - playing against character just for the games sake is a crime for me, fortunately my group played the same way - the best sessions were those when the story was created by our character interactions, not some pre written scenario about completing a quest.
For WFB I guess I am something between True Reasonable and Dickhead-Gamer - I try to build competetive lists and use every rule I find in line with spirit of the game. Stats and abilities of units are important for me, I'm not the most brilliant general so playing with weak lists usually would end up in boring match with obvious victor from the start. I just don't try to be rude and true dickhead during game itself.

I also don't have the book with me right now, but I'm pretty sure the 0-1 limit was only for Inner Circle.
IC with CoC are also interesting option, but I don't like the possibility of character carrying it being killed in prolonged combat.
