TES p&p all the way. I would LOVE it!

From the playing that I witnessed at a LGS, it's safe to say I will never become a hardcoe MTG player. I can understand fan-boyism, but hardcoe MTG players scare me....they legitimately scare me.

Extremely similar to the http://www.mtgmintcard.com/images/products/419/MAGIC-THE-GATHERING-CHAMPION-OF-THE-PARISH-ISDR027.jpg card, just opposite. Very cool.

"BETHESDA I BOUGHT 100 BOOSTER PACKS IN ORDER TO GET THE BEST CARD, AND THEN I WON A MATCH BY USING IT

THIS GAME IS BROKEN BETHESDA REWRITE THE RULES AND FIX IT I CAN'T PLAY LIKE THIS"

n.b. I don't know CCGs very well, please excuse me if there's no such thing as a "best card." You know that it'd end up happening anyway.

All inferior to http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=247234 Easily my favorite card in the history of Magic for the name, flavor and art alone nevermind his impressive power.

Greater than.....dare I say......... http://static.starcitygames.com/sales/cardscans/MAGSTA/vizzerdrix.jpg

for the lulz.

The http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=206329 wins the palm solely through the sheer "wait, what?" reaction it triggers in anyone who never heard of it before

Oh, also I'd like to add that everyone I played against, all had this card and ABUSED the hell out of it

Planeswalkers are unfortunately a big part of competitive standard play, I personally use them as little as possible.

I've hated MTG ever since every card in my primary deck made when the game first came out was made illegal in tournament play.

It disgusted me. Honestly, I hate to sound like a total lore-fiend, but I think a deck should have some kind of story behind it, rather than just mashing all sorts of powerful cards together. I originally wanted to field a sea-monster deck with leviathans and what not, but I failed at that. The new Innistrad set seems like a total playground for horde armies. PEASANTS EVERYWHERE!

Hah, I just came back from playing some casual magic at the local games store (we play every monday night for like 6 hours ). And the community there is quite nice.

Liking Innistrad so far, especially since I play around token cards quite heavily.

"What is that ? A two headed giant game where my opponents have one guy who can soak up nearly any attack and keep me and my ally on the defense while the other opponent builds up his army of overpowered Slivers whom you are only allowed to play with on casual nights ?"

*Looks at his hand...*

"Hmmm, http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=249397, a http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=217981... some mana... oh and what is this ? http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=249662! And is that a http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=233242 !?

"Yeah, you know what, never mine your Slivers."

And I haven't even integrated some great Innistrad cards into my deck such as the enchantment that gives all tokens you control +1/+1 and vigilance.

As for a Skyrim or a TES trading card game ? I guess it could be fun if it was just generally a TES trading card games with expansions based on the current game that is out and obviously being based on the older games.

Player 1:"I use my [Insert Resource] to put a Nix Hound on the field and I attack you with my Kwama Forager for 1 damage!"
Player 2:"Not so fast! I tap X much mana to cast a spell on your Kwama Forager! "Destruction:Damage Strength" your Kwama Forager deals 2 less damage until the end of this turn!"
Player 1:"Pff fine, you'll only regret wasting that spell on my Kwama Forager next turn when I attack you for 3 with my Nix Hound..."

The makers don't have to power creep, and they don't have to consider every past card when making new cards.

Mudcrab cards everywhere.

This would get very nerdy, although a Mannimarco themed deck, or a Ysgramor companions themed deck...I sense epicness....



"I play my Adventurer card!"

"I activate my trap! Arrow to the knee!"

bring in the troll card! SWEETROLL!

That's why I tend to shy away from tournaments. My favorite deck is highly illegal because of http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=201156 which is one of the most brutally powerful cards in the game.

......wellp.....guess I'll go out tomorrow and pick up 1 or 2 boosters of Innistrad......ugh, I hate you MTG. I hate you so much.

I never played in tournaments; the reason this move angers me is that now my cards, which used to be valuable because of their rarity AND power for use in tournaments have been turned into worthless scraps of cardpaper.

Before they were made illegal, most of the monsters in my deck were worth upwards of $200 each. Now they aren't worth the paper they are printed on.

What good is a COLLECTIBLE card game, when the cards are no longer collectible?

Even banned cards can be worth a lot, Mana Drain is worth around $200 for instance. As far as I'm concerned what matters is casual (especially if you are just in it for the collecting) and if your group cares if you use illegal cards for casual play then they're a bit off.

bumping this glorious thread

i want in-game games. A dice game, a card game, and board game.

Well, I've done it now....I went out and bought some an Innistrad deck. D:

TES monopoly.

I never play card games in or out of game. Its just not something I enjoy doing.
