Guys can I have some advice-

This is my situation, the people I visit on the weekends are starting to get 'into' magic, and are now trying to get me to join them. I have never played magic, nor have i payed any attention to their games of magic.

<-This is the only magic card I've ever seen(and liked), but i don't know if there is any good way to use him, can i have some suggestions?

Well it depends on if you are playing standard 60 card or EDH
User avatar #83 to #75 - discord (09/10/2012) [-]
I don't know a single rule, or what the limitations are.
User avatar #89 to #83 - Krowefawkes (09/10/2012) [-]
I could sit and talk all night about this. what do your friends play? with 60 cards or 100?
User avatar #96 to #89 - discord (09/10/2012) [-]
I never really checked, but i think it looked smaller than 3 normal decks of cards

Well add me as a friend or something or just keep in touch, learn anything you can and get back to me. I'll answer any questions you have

#58 to #56 - discord (09/10/2012) [-]
I plan to if i had any idea on how to include discord in a deck.
User avatar #73 to #58 - lolwatthe (09/10/2012) [-]
Return to Ravnica is coming out so yes you can, there is an entire guild that is based around Red Black.
User avatar #88 to #73 - discord (09/10/2012) [-]
can i have a link to learn a little bit about what you're talking about?
(Is a guild a creature class system, or just a generalization for a specific kind of card set?)
User avatar #95 to #88 - lolwatthe (09/10/2012) [-]
A guild is a group of people/creatures who basically worship two specific colours of magic, go here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ravnica:_City_of_Guilds for more info.

you're going to need a red black deck, but you probably wont be able to play standard
User avatar #84 to #71 - discord (09/10/2012) [-]
'standard'?

User avatar #91 to #90 - serenitypanda (09/10/2012) [-]
just remove the space in sanctioned
User avatar #97 to #91 - discord (09/10/2012) [-]
Oh, I'd prefer to be able to keep one deck and always be able to use it, instead of having it rotated out to being banned after a year or so.
User avatar #102 to #97 - serenitypanda (09/10/2012) [-]
so then just dont play standard, stick to vintage
User avatar #105 to #102 - serenitypanda (09/10/2012) [-]
its what i play normally, it wont get you into alot of tournaments but amongst friends it usually doesnt matter what set you have
User avatar #74 to #71 - lolwatthe (09/10/2012) [-]
Til return to ravnica comes out...
User avatar #78 to #74 - serenitypanda (09/10/2012) [-]
ya, thats going to be beast for alot of people, i personally play a mono white angel deck, 3 platinum angels in it with things to give me shroud and the angels indestructible
User avatar #81 to #78 - lolwatthe (09/10/2012) [-]
I ran a b/w angel/human/demon/vampire deck but I think I left it at Sentry Box My friendly local gaming hub so I build a pure M13 G/B deck that runs fairly well even though I don't have all the cards I need for it.
User avatar #85 to #81 - serenitypanda (09/10/2012) [-]
i have a fair few i like including avacyn my bf got for it recently, i also have akromas memorial, and aegis angel in my sideboard with a couple of o rings
User avatar #92 to #85 - lolwatthe (09/10/2012) [-]
O-rings are apparently a must, I don't quite remember what Aegis angel is. What do you think of Return to Ravnica? any guild you like?
User avatar #94 to #92 - serenitypanda (09/10/2012) [-]
i havent looked too much into that really, mostly because i like my deck the way it is and as of yet its my only one, i leave the deck building to my bf and his friends
User avatar #98 to #94 - lolwatthe (09/10/2012) [-]
You should learn to build your own decks, it is pretty fun and you get to look into the mechanics of the game and cards more. Also any tips of getting one of my female friends to play magic? I have invited her to the game nights once but she didn't really accept or decline.
User avatar #100 to #98 - serenitypanda (09/10/2012) [-]
well if you have a ton of cards see if theres something shes interested in, my bf enticed me with the "angels" theme after he had me pick a color "white, but say shes into cats build something around that, my favorite thing is finding the truely stunning lands that the artists come up with, i especially love all the islands
User avatar #101 to #100 - lolwatthe (09/10/2012) [-]
You should check out the Zendikar lands, they have some of the best art and are full card.
User avatar #104 to #101 - serenitypanda (09/10/2012) [-]
because i use a mono white deck i really only get to see lands when other people use them, sometimes when my oppenent plays a land if it stikes me ill ask them if i can see it
User avatar #103 to #101 - serenitypanda (09/10/2012) [-]
my favorite plains land set is actually from lorwyn, but i have sporadic favorite plains from other sets
User avatar #106 to #103 - lolwatthe (09/10/2012) [-]
Apparently some one on ebay is selling Foil lorwyn lands with "hot anime babes" painted on them, I'm glad I had no family in the room...
User avatar #107 to #106 - serenitypanda (09/10/2012) [-]
i dont really like the fake or "made" lands, i dont even really go for tokens that are like that, i know it wouldnt really matter with the tokens but i guess its just preference
User avatar #108 to #107 - lolwatthe (09/10/2012) [-]
Funny thing on that, my friend is planning on making a My Little Pony deck so he deinked quite a few cards, not quite sure how long till he actually makes the deck.
User avatar #109 to #108 - serenitypanda (09/10/2012) [-]
theres already a mlp card game
User avatar #87 to #85 - serenitypanda (09/10/2012) [-]
he put some elixers of immortality in the sideboard as well for when im against a miller
User avatar #93 to #87 - lolwatthe (09/10/2012) [-]
I like Elixers... they are very fun.

Try it in a reanimator deck. When you play it, you discard expensive creatures from your hand, and then bring them back from the dead using cards like reanimate, or zombify.

The set that this card is from, Dissension, has a machanic called Hellbent. Hellbent spells become more potent when you have zero cards in hand. This is obviously synergistic with that ability. You may want to try digging up some of the black and red cards from that set if you can find them, or try finding an old Rakdos (Black and Red aligned guild from the set) starter deck. It's really tricky, but fun, to play it right.
