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).

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.
