Oh my.

This won't mean anything to those who haven't been initiated to MTG.

I played the strangest affinity deck a little while ago. I saw no copies of Broodstar, no Spellbombs, only one artifact land, and some really weird equipment. There were a bunch of Frogmites, and a Myr Enforcer, as well as some other Myr, but beyond that, it wasn't anything at all like the affinity builds I've been reading about.

I suppose it's because Mirrodin has only been available online for a few hours?

I wish I could say that I won, but I had my head handed over to me on a platter--it took some twenty seven turns or so, but I lost horribly (just like I lost all my other games today).

huh. i have no idea how anyone won affinity with only one artifact land.

it's possible without broodstar...but you most definitely need tons of artifact lands and spellbombs to get your artifact count up high, so you can drop all those free things.

but then, you already know that.

i just don't understand it. weird!

They were playing the one artifact that you could imprint a creature on (its name escapes me right not). But then he/she went ahead and imprinted--you'll like this--Frogmite. Funniest thing was when a random person said, "Heh, you imprinted Frogmite."

I played really horribly, and they had more Frogmites than they knew what to do with. They should've beaten much more quickly than they did, but I suppose they were playing cautiously.

I can't wait to accumulate the cards to get an affinity deck going. Can't wait.

it's so easy, too. i actually built one in draft, once, and it was half-decent as an actual deck.

it's good because most of the cards are commons and uncommons, so you can build it for relatively cheap. of course, you'll probably drop a lot for those broodstars, but, eh. every deck has expensive cards. i'm a fan of decks that only need a couple.

but then, you're playing on mtg online, and they value cards like whoa because everyone wants to play either a popular archetype or tribal...i couldn't get used to their value scale, because it differs so dramatically from the value scale of rl trading . for example, i got two savannah lions for a lightning rift. wtf?

haha. imprinted frogmite. fabulous.

Crazy Game

Saw that game, can't believe the guy one. It was amazing, you should have had him. The idiot decided to extend the game longer then he needed to. Plus the imprinted frogmite was classic, maybe he was thinking since the frogmite is free with all of those artifacts it would be free with the imprint. That was a wierd game, seemed very sloppy. Well better luck next time, kick his...
