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!

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...
