I do not know how good you are, i have been playing for a long time though.

That game is stupid, if you have to ask if someone can beat you or not, in your mind you know youre not the best.

I had some skills. I played for a few years, I started around the time Ice Ages was released and quite playing in july 2000. I went to a Mirage Pre-Release Tourney and won 3rd place out of 800 people. taking home 10 boosters packs of Mirage and a Beta Chaos Orb. Yes I know it's lame. I sold it for $40 the same day

And then I played in the M:TG league for the first 3 season and won 1st place in my region all three times. I won a limited edition Alternate art FireBall and the limited edition Alternate art Disenchant. I kept them mint condition unhandled and ended up selling then for $25 each. also I won that set of 5 Land cards that were part of that mural of the 5 land types side by side. you could lay the 5 cards side by side and see where they joined. I actually sold off 99% of myc ards when I moved to Washington state. I kept my old favorite Red/Green Deck but sadly enough I sold it on EBay 2 months ago for $10 it was all 4th editions stuff and a few Mirage cards and only had a couple Beta mountains and a Beta Fireball....so now I own not a single card. In my opinion Red/Green is th emost versatile Deck type....or at least it was back in the olden days. all those dudes with Blue Counter decks only had onw way to win....lock someone down and hit em with your little 2/2 flying creatures....Black had to steal life points to buy time to drop out a couple huge 5/5ish creatures. Red was just wham bam burn em all. and White had those damnable Circles of Protection and the creatures that could divert off some damage from themselves to other white creatures. I could really smack down ANYONE thanks to the combination of multiple monsters which could be bludlusted or Goant growthed to inflict heavy damage. or my nice little first strike and flanking creatures that could have the same sorceries performed to make them strong enough to dispatch HUGE monsters and life to tell the tale, thanks to the aforementioned First Strike or flanking. My favorite method was hitting a HUGE MASSIVE attacking creature with a lighting bolt. then blood lusting one of my first strike creatures so that it dealt 5 or 6 points of first strike damage. onto the wounded monster taking it out...

Anyway....getting to the point, 6 years ago I would have kicked you to the curb at M:TG but now. I would probably be hopelessly crushed until I had spent several weeks practicing.

Sharky · 17-02-2006, 10:44 AM

I tried to get into that game about 10 years ago. I wasn't too bad, but I just wasn't willing to spend the money to really get into it.

Blank · 17-02-2006, 11:44 AM

Meh, nerd-fest games like this don't interest me in the slightest.

Wingman1977 · 17-02-2006, 11:48 AM

People actually still play those things?

Don_Rico · 17-02-2006, 12:41 PM

Sadly enough, seems like it, yes.
