see legacy is a growing thing in my city, its pretty small right now because its so expensive.
But they allow 20 proxies(enough to cover the most expensive cards) and the prizes is money toward buying the paper copies(or store credit for only legacy cards)
There are also people there who have multiple decks that are competitive and they lend them out to people who want to play the format.
If every format was like this I feel it would be a lot more friendly to the less fortunate.
I know you can rent cards from bigger stores, but I don't know how much it costs and if its a fraction of the cards value or just per card.

lol didn't even notice the typo:P

I love you... and you too.

well it isn't what I meant.

I didn't say all you want me to do is spend money, thats you saying that I said that.
Like I loved cooking with you, I love cuddling with you, I love that i can go to your appointments with you.
I want to do all those things with you.

Well I'm sorry that I'm not perfect, like seriously I would love to take you out and I would love to do all these things with you but we keep talking about saving money so I don't understand how we can atm. I mean I bought your birthday gift which you will love btw I have been doing all that I can to save money while keeping you happy I really don't know what else i can do.

like I was seriously confused yesterday when you got mad, I was all happy and ready to game with you. I had absolutly no idea what was going on when you got mad at me...
Like I took the time and fixed my headset even, my skype settings were all fucked up for some reason

I well I was confused as to why we were arguing over nothing last night, and I'm sorry that I don't want to argue over skype with scott in the room.
And the reason I said K if because when I say K its because you are in a mood where literally nothing I say matters and everythign I do/say is wrong so I would much rather wait until we can have a decent conversation.

Like I'm sorry, but i didn't say anythign bad about you at all. really, and if I did I would love to hear what I said...

to be fair Jessie, mankind isn't casual by nature. for the most part we crave conflict, we like a challenge and we like to assert dominance when we can. I'm not saying we are all like this, but I for one am very competitive.
Based on the above you would sell a ton more product targeting the competitive market rather than the casual.

When I am at my friends having a few drinks and playing magic we are either palying commander, or drafting Cube/a random set.

the game doesn't cost 1000s of dollars to enjoy, it costs whatever you are willing to pay.
If I feel like drafting I will go to my LGS on a friday and do a 10$ draft.
If I want to do sealed preleases I will pay 35$ per pool.
If I want to play modern I will pay 200-2000$ to make a deck.
The beauty of it is, if you don't want to play those formats you don't have to pay.

Richard Garfield: "I guess I never expected people to take it so seriously. I've always tried to bring science to the games I play, but I never expected it to be taken so far. In Magic, players now analyze percentages for various land mixes and use almost scientific approaches to sideboarding. It's all gone far beyond where I expected it to go."

if the game kept going the casual route it would have never taken off how it has today, magic is at an all time high of people playing/buying product and this number is only increasing.

Mark rosewater is also a casual player, he loves unhinged and all things casual. He still supports the way mtg is growing.

see the constant expanding and complexity of magic is actually what draws a lot of players in, magic the gathering sites have the absolute most traffic during spoiler season.



In the end it comes down to the fact that you don't have to buy anything that you don't want to.
We all prefer different formats, different deck styles and have soft spots for different cards.
But in the end we all love this game, thats why we put up with all the bullshit:P

The deck was a lot better before cranial platting was banned haha

Maybe it works different online than it does in paper?:P who knows but just go with those rules.
My Pauper deck was Pauper affinity.

I like to run fringe decks, like I will go with 8-rack one week, then say come with this the next and so on so they can't hate on my decks too hard:P
and np ty good sir:)

Rancor is uncommon now, it goes by most recent printing.

Slippery Boggle?

Even though you didnt directly state that people would play leyline when you mentioned hate for this deck I was like "which cards could hate on this deck that I havent covered." And I looked through the deck and everything was "Target" so I then was like "shit Leyline":P so in a way you did help me.
But other Sideboard cards I would consider would be Spellskite for burn, infect and boggles. but i havent seen any of those decks at my LGS yet.
Or Hurkyl's recall but yet again havent really seen affinity.

I will layout why my sideboard is how it is.

Artifact (1)

1xProfane Memento(creature decks lets me get to the late game)

Enchantment (4)

4xLeyline of Sanctity(burn, 8-rack, mirror, combo)

Instant (7)

2xCyclonic Rift(for leylines, twin, hate)
3xShadow of Doubt(Pod, basically just a stifle vs multicoloured decks with a lot of fetches, though it does act as an edict vs pod.)
1xSurgical Extraction(Combo, control and graveyard decks. This is why I feel fine vs graveyard decks I run 3 surgicals main. I feel I can out race them as they mill themselves which helps me do my job)
1xArchive Trap(same as shadow of a doubt)

Sorcery (3)

3xThoughtseize(control and combo.)

In the long run decks like dredgevine and reanimator shouldnt be that bad of a matchup because we have 3x memento and 4x surgical extractions(up to 8x with snapcaster)

Sorry im not a morning person so i tend to come off as blunt sometimes.
I haven't seen an elixer in my modern meta, though i have seen leylines. Thats more so why I chose rift as a SB card.
Looking through the deck it hoses all of my mill besides Mesmeric Orb.

added 2 cyclonic rifts to bounce leyline of sanct.

What kinda cards would you sideboard vs mill? also most people dont have sideboard hate for mill because barely anyone plays it.
Surgical extraction is in the deck so you can exile eldrazi or other cards that shuffle the gy into the deck.

I find duskmantle is too fragile if you aren't going with the striaght duskmantle mindcrank combo?
